I appreciate Andrew coming out and condemning this letter and I am grateful to him for that. He is to be applauded for it.
That letter was the lowest and dirtiest smear attack I can recall.
Firstly on two homes. I do not have two homes. My gran died and the estate is selling the property (Buy The House). The letter used my grans house (by saying another Labour wannabe with two homes) to compare me with the disgraced MP's fiddling two homes and Stephen Byers for hire. It wrongly stated i owned my grans and said essentially I was disgrace for it.
Councillors Lyn Wilson, Peter Britcliffe, Susan Haworth all repeated part or all or all or made reference too this in Full Council as well. It had obviously been discussed by Conservatives and decided it was a beneficial line of attack. Those involved were clearly sick in their thinking when doing this.
Needless to say to using someone who is dead and cannot answer for themselves to twist such a disgusting story should resign.
Secondly it used the pot holes on Hodder Street to add to the smear saying "I used my influence as a Councillor to get my street done up". The Standards Board said exactly word for word: "that there was no evidence or suggestion of any malice or intention of personal gain by Cllr. Jones "
The Tories have been smearing for years and will lower themselves lower than the sewer to cover up the failings to run to run the Borough.
