I AM sorry Cllr Bulmer takes exception to my remarks at the last Chard Town Council meeting (Postbag, March 4).
I felt it was unacceptable for any section of our community to be described in a patronising way as ‘quite intelligent’, particularly when at least one member of the town council has family connections with it.
This was not a political point and I have subsequently had messages of support from councillors of all political groups and none.
I have always respected Dave Bulmer’s work as a councillor but on this occasion he seems to be defending prejudice and his dislike of his former party, the Liberal Democrats, has got the better of him.
