    Without wanting this to sound like a witch hunt, I'd agree with this statement (in fact he/she's been caught out with this before by Chli, amongst others). That's not to say he/she's not got some valid points to make, just that their desire to fuel the anti-Gill stances seems to result in a very scatter-shot approach.

    This is a valid point. which myself and several other moderators have warned bigcat_speciali about many times in the past; however I don't agree that it also applies to ShavingtonZoo. I suspect that "Just Me" replied to the post written by the latter individual without noticing that it was not written by the former individual.

    the reply in question (#106, Just Me) was directed at the post before the quoted post (i.e. post #97 by bigcat speciali rather than #98 by SHAVINGTONZOO) - #98 contains the quote from post #97 but this does not show up in a second quote.

    I think most people would have got that though.

    I'm grateful for that clarification. It was unfortunate that the comment that "you seem to have lots of time to ... " appeared to be directed at me, rather than BCS.

    My understanding - and I have been both a Councillor (including sitting on a Licensing Committee) and Clerk to a Council - is that a councillor who declares a prejudicial interest should leave the room.

    This may have changed recently.

    However, the question of whether Cllr Heath has behaved correctly is a matter for Barrow Borough Council. If BCS has concerns he should raise them with the appropriate authority (as I suspect he may have done). If such misbehaviour is proven then that may be relevant to this Forum; while it remains unproven I would suggest it is inappropriate to discuss it on here.

    Things are continuing to stray into off-topic and legally problematic ground despite several attempts to redirect the course of the thread; as such I think it would be prudent if the discussion ended here. I shall lock the thread and when/if anything pertinent to the original thread topic emerges, one of the moderation team will post within the thread whilst keeping it closed.
