And reminiscent of Germany in the 1930's

Disgusting indeed. And not someone I'd like to meet in the dark. Yuk.

Notso Tue 14-May-13 07:23:49

Nasty man.

ninathenana Tue 14-May-13 08:18:09

Why was he re elected ???

Galen Tue 14-May-13 08:23:26

The people who voted for him are just as bad!angry

bluebell Tue 14-May-13 09:07:08

An example also of the minus side of independent councillors - had he belonged to a political party at least he would have been thrown out and not allowed to stand this time ( after his previous rant).

Dreadful man! angry

Movedalot Tue 14-May-13 09:20:45

How awful. I didn't hear about it first time round.

Doesn't he look like Pete Murray in the first photo? Wonder if he is still around? Never liked him either.

That is dire, but more worrying is that this is probably only the edge of his views which seem to be veering towards fascism.

When he has "done away" with the disabled who will he go for next? The elderly, other races and religions, gays? does he want a genetically pure Cornwall?

He clearly does even have the common sense to realise that even if he thinks these things, it is inappropriate to say them. That suggests that he is extremely arrogant with no regard for the feeling or opinions of others.
Yuk!

For any Cornwall Grans who wish to air their feelings about these vile statements a protest has been organised at Truro County Hall at 10.30am on May 24. angry

As a grandma of a delightful little girl, who just happens to have Down Syndrome, and is thus classed as disabled, I am absolutely disgusted by this man. How dare he suggest that children such as my granddaughter should, in effect, be "put down"! What he suggests is quite horrific and it totally disgusts me that people have elected this person to public office.

Scary that there are more and more 'independent' and , dare I say, other councillors (in a particular increasingly popular party) whose opinions and views on a whole range of things have not gone through a proper 'vetting' process. I know there are 'loony lefties' and 'rabid righties' in major parties but there is a clear process to deal with them!

Sel Tue 14-May-13 13:18:54

It seems utterly unbelievable that he could come out with such vile comments - and be re-elected. I don't get it.

Ariadne Tue 14-May-13 13:26:15

Is he the one who said something equally offensive earlier this year, then resigned, then came back and stood for election? Whether it is or not, like you, Sel I do not get it at all!

Glad to hear, ga that there is to be a protest!

chocolatepudding Tue 14-May-13 15:13:34

There is also an epetition here to get him to resign or be fired!

Ariadne Tue 14-May-13 15:23:59

Right! thank you, chocolatepudding! Will do it now.

Marelli Tue 14-May-13 16:07:38

Foul person angry. I remember the article about him last year when he decided to resign.

Petition signed.

janthea Tue 14-May-13 16:07:42

I thought I read in the paper he was UKIP!

gracesmum Tue 14-May-13 20:59:01

THis man is despicable. End of. angry

Maggiemaybe Tue 14-May-13 21:07:29

Agreed, gracesmum. Along with anyone voting for him.

merlotgran Tue 14-May-13 21:11:32

susieb755 Tue 14-May-13 21:33:44

Petition duly signed - just think he would have had me put down, and I wouldn't have given the world Rock God Eddie Argos smile !! ( joke - he's not really a rock god )

I'm not signing. Before i tried to get somebody sacked i'd want to know more than i heard in the media.

petallus Thu 16-May-13 07:38:20

There's a lot of hounding going on in our society at the moment.
