I was amused to read that another of your correspondents has used your newspaper to try and brand me a liar (‘It’s all unravelling for the Lib Dems party – Thursday January 14th).

Emily Clark of Redlands Lane Fareham refers to my “strong support for another party” whereas if she has ready my letters she would know that I have already written very clearly that I do not support any political party, and never have.

I just support councillors whom I believe to be working for a better future for Fareham.

That includes our Lib Dems, one UKIP, and even a couple of Conservatives who have been brave enough to speak out against their leader.

Mrs Clark’s letter contains only no facts (at least no correct facts), only slurs against me.

It’s just a rant really.

I find it heartening that my outspoken opposition to the proposed Welborne development has driven Fareham’s Conservatives to use such tactics.
