Rutland Anti Corruption Party, Considering Legal Action Against MP Alan Duncan
after a BBC Radio Leicester interview in which Alan Duncan MP for Rutland & Melton and Minister of State for International Development.Accused the three Rutland County Councillors harassing the Chief Executive Helen Briigs. He also said the conduct of the three councillors stinks and they should go. He said they have libelled Mrs Briggs.
MP Alan Duncan described Cllr Richardson as irrational and a person who can accept yes or no.
He went on to say he would prefer three Labour Councillors on the council instead of those three.
Cllr Richardson agreed the situation was embarrassing for Rutland County Council, but they won't back down.
I am told Mrs Briggs is now the three councillors single point of contact?
The interviewer in my opinion was poor. He came across as if he had already made his mind up who was in the wrong,
He repeatedly stated how can you be right when all the others think your wrong to Cllr David Richardson.
The interviewer asked "why do you think that you are (right)" Cllr Richardson replied "because we are".
I wonder why MP Alan Ducan has involved himself in what is a very personal and petty argument
that has been going on for over twenty years according to Cllr Baines.
A petty, Childish, Dangerous and Costly argument.
When the next election arrives the people of Rutland need to remember how much of their money
has been wasted on this childish argument conducted by all Councillors.
A complete new council is required.
I wonder if Mr Duncan had attended the meeting if he would still say the same things about these three
Cllrs Councillors.
You wont see the comments in the Council, minutes many from Conservative Councillor were defamatory.

You wont read the word liars used by many councillors.
In-fact whoever took the minutes must have went to sleep as they missed out what most councillor said
and that includes the long tiresome attack from Conservative Cllr Edward Baines.
Interesting they appear to have put together something from Independent Cllr Alan Walters.
There is no mention of what a pigs ear he made of his time and the fact he wrongly took on the role
of QC for the prosecution. By Questioning the three Councillors directly, until the chair Cllr Parsons woke
up and stopped him.
I was told today one Conservative Councillor is not standing at the next election, He is fed up with the fighting and the control of the Conservative group. But voted for the legal action
