It is also particularly unfortunate that all this should break out at a time when Councillor Ritchie is clearly unwell. But to be fair, Councillor Ritchie has always embroidered what she has said about herself, and that is not right in someone holding public office. Voters and residents deserve to be told the truth, whether it is age or previous employment. In neither case has this has happened and the Hornet is right to expose this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-65834766381569433522011-12-27T17:30:56.901+00:002011-12-27T17:30:56.901+00:0017.21

WE have a right to know the details of someone we elect to represent. More so because this particular councillor has been critiqued by fellow councillors and officers for not being up to the job. The biggest issue is the huge Special Responsibility Allowance she is taking when she is clearly not doing the job. As soon as she got her peerage she should have stepped down. Yours is a valid point of view but it does not excuse Ritchie from the imputation of excessive greed. On a different note the Dame thanks you for your compliments.HornetsNesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986293957148642699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-27861437466557474392011-12-27T17:21:34.548+00:002011-12-27T17:21:34.548+00:00Whilst not a particular fan of any of beings in th...Whilst not a particular fan of any of beings in the town hall. I am saddened that the Dame has allowed the up to now great work that this blog has done be tarnished by this article. I do not like personal attacks as it simply lowers the tone of the work you and contributors have done. It distracts from the issues we should be highlighting for local people. <br /><br />I personally don't care how young or old any of them are I want to know what they do and what they are not doing. <br /><br />We must not resort to News of the World Standards and anyone who has anything to do with papers will understand they will take what you say out of context and simply print it.

For years she told people that he father was a professor of Sanskrit. Now in her biography he has become a Commander. In fact if I am not mistaken he had a distinguished career in the RAFVR as a Squadron Leader, being shot down over Crete and ending up in Stalag. Why has he been moved to the Navy?
