PaulI'm going to try to keep this post fairly short because if I do not I feel I will say something I am likely to regret.I cannot explain how I feel right now. We have had lots of disagreements on this forum, some of them good humoured and some less so, but even I am in a state of shock over the conduct of Alan Sheerins and Vanessa Smith tonight. Perhaps I should not have been so naive, but I did not consider them capable of this.My instinct at the moment is not to dignify their spiteful ramblings with a response or an acknowledgement ever again, but they would only consider this a triumph. The distress that they may have caused by their selfish, unscrupulous politicking has probably not occurred to them but, if it has, neither of them appear to be the kind of people who will lose any sleep over it.A note to the Moderator however - please do not take Paul's advice by removing these foul outpourings of bile from this forum. It might be some consolation for Simon and his loved ones at this most difficult time to know that scores of local people will see for themselves the kind of human being which has floated to the surface of what was once a great and proud political party.Simon, I am really sorry that you have been subjected to this. And Alan and Vanessa, I say it again - you are both beneath contempt. I have not for a very long time been so determined to rid this borough of the influence of people like you. If you believe you are doing Ann Keen any favours with your disgusting actions tonight then, trust me, you will never have been so thoroughly mistaken in your lives.
