Cllr Duncan’s comments on Armed Forces Day

 
As I made clear when I first became aware of the tweet, I find Cllr Duncan’s actions completely unacceptable.
 
I immediately called on him to apologise for the offence and distress he has caused. I also called on the local Green party to take disciplinary action and that process in now underway. Personally I think he should no longer sit alongside the Green Group on the Council.
 
I have a huge appreciation for the role played by the individual men and women who belong to our armed forces. Cllr Duncan’s comments do not reflect the Green Party’s position or mine.
 
Although my own role is completely separate from that of the City Council and its councillors, I’d like to use this opportunity to offer my own sincere apologies for the understandable anger and distress Cllr Duncan’s insensitive comments have caused.
