I NOTE from the latest tirade from R Bartlett that he is now not concerned about the subjects he complained of in his first tirade he is of the opinion I accused him of being homophobic and at the same time makes an extremely offensive and homophobic remark.

Why am I not surprised that he is some sort of disciple of a sarcastic clown like Groucho Marx.

What does surprise me is his suggestion that the people of Stourbridge have nothing in common with a person of excellent education and successful business career.

What an insult to the people of Stourbridge.

He says he is waiting for someone to tell him why the candidate was not local.

I can only refer him to the ancient Chinese proverb: He who sits and waits can only expect cramp.

The candidate of whom he complains was born and bred in the Midlands.

She has significant political experience and has done much work for underprivileged children and wild life.

The fact that she has decided on an alternative way of private life has no detriment to her considerable ability.

If the people of Stourbridge do not accept the hand, it will be their loss.
