"Gutter Politics at Meeting"

I am writing in response to your article in the Wigan Evening Post of December 7th "Nazi Jibe Complaint".

I attended the Council meeting on November 7th and sat in the public gallery.

Wiganers expect their elected representatives to behave in a manner that is fitting to the role they have in our society and not participate in gutter politics.

At the meeting on November 7th, 2012, I evidenced councillors trading insults at each other, Nazi jibes and councillor walk-outs.

Many councillors at the full meeting of Wigan Council on November 7th 2012,I believe, did not represent this Lancashire Borough of Wigan, in the manner it deserves, hence my complaint."
