Letters / Puerile and petulant
COUNCILLOR Jonathan Wills speaks out: No gifts to Mareel (SN, 7 Dec.12), and outlines in full his seriously stupid reasoning trying to justify the passing of a further £600k to Mareel.
No doubt next time Mareel comes begging for more cash he can use exactly the same arguments, only next time he will be protecting a council investment of £6.6 million as opposed to £6 million.
How many more times will he use such a fallacious arguments before he understands it will take more than just money to bail out this failing project.
Unfortunately, with his usual puerile and petulant style he opens his letter by belittling those whom dare to criticise him.
He states: “Before any of your more irate correspondents have to ask their doctors for tranquilizers”. How rude!
