After reading the Scunthorpe Telegraph recently I would like to comment on the responses to the motion at full council on March 19. The first comments from Cllr Carl Sherwood about membership of a union; he waved an ISTC union card around stating he was a fully paid up member. As people, like me who are members of this union, know that is called "Community" and has been for at least the last five years. So his comments are questionable.  I would ask why Cllr Sherwood puts his arguments forward in the Scunthorpe Telegraph whilst sitting quiet in the council chamber.

The second was from Mrs Readhead, a Tory on Scunthorpe Borough Council during the Thatcher years. Her response was funny in that she never said that she believed in the minimum wage, she just went into a rant about the latest Labour Government.

I'm sure Telegraph readers can see through these two Thatcher loving Tories and are not insulted by their beliefs. Tories don't believe in the minimum wage or trade union rights, so please don't be fooled by this right wing North Lincs Tory group.
