Cllr Osborn needs to make himself clearer in the future so we, the general public, can understand his ridiculous remarks. His latest mistake was comparing Trowbridge to Ibiza.
How can he even compare it with Trowbridge when he has not been there? Basically he is comparing Ibiza on second hand knowledge. Someone's comments which he took as gospel.
His lame excuse is that he was referring to a girl urinating in the street which he happened to see while with some police officers. Did they by any chance arrest or tell this lady off?
Not only that, but if you watch TV you see that in other towns in the UK so why compare it to Ibiza? I do believe his comments were a little misjudged and misdirected but nevertheless he holds a position of authority and should know how to conduct his views.
I am also very disappointed that a councillor holds these kinds of views and also extremely alarmed. He should now do the decent thing and resign from office.
If he was in Parliament we would be calling for his resignation. If I came from Ibiza I would be demanding his blood. To the people of Ibiza I send my apologies.
Andrew Hungerford,
Rambler Close,
Trowbridge.
