Letters / Two sides to the HNP story?
After reading the latest letter from SLAP (Concerned by HNP criticism: SN, 04/02/16) I now have to wonder if there are not two sides to this story.
To me it looks as if there is more to this HNP thing than meets the eye.
I have to say I was one of those who signed the petition in HNP’s favour but I now wonder if that was the right thing to do.
Although I am not really happy with the way in which the tendering process seems to have been done I think that if half of this letter is true we have to wonder how much truth has come from HNP.
If this has been going on for as long as it’s been claimed then I have to say HNP have to take a lot of the responsibility for the situation they find themselves in today.
