I write in response to the article titled ‘MP Cusack attacks community centre and councillor’.
I believe this statement to be non-factual, misinformed, and an abuse of parliamentary privilege. Why on earth would someone who should know better, shoot her mouth off without hearing/exploring all the facts? (Was she in need of some cheap publicity? And who the hell filled her empty head with such rubbish?).
A lot of absolute nonsense and the facts are easily checked. Perhaps this is why she said it with ‘parliamentary privilege’, knowing that it would not come back and bite her on the ass?
Sorry for being so blunt readers but some of the facts seem to have been forgotten here.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
