I REALISE my two UKIP county colleagues and myself might not quite fit in with Cllr Hogan's blinkered lefty ideologies as yet again he   seems a little pre-occupied with UKIP while somewhat distorting the facts.

I did leave the county council meeting early for an urgent appointment (having had the courtesy of informing both the council chairman and leader).

Cllr H states 12pm when in reality it was 1.10pm.

Perhaps instead of having concerns about that and attempting to belittle others, he would be better striving to improve the useless opposition to the useless administration that he serves upon at Coleford. (Forest of Dean District Council).

Mr Norman of Longhope questions my renewable thoughts – suffice to say as a totally un-whipped (waste of time in trying to whip me anyway) UKIP councillor – my thoughts and actions on this subject and indeed other issues, have been and always will be, modelled on and geared towards the majority of people I represent.

Whether or not that means hydro, nuclear, solar, biomass, (useless) turbines, etc I will listen to all arguments, and subsequently act constructively or de-constructively as the need arises.
