I am grateful for Mr Furness's commitment, given at the Brighton and Hove City Council meeting on November 27, that he will no longer disrupt our meetings.
In his letter (December 10) he asks if the memory he so vividly describes of disruption in the council chamber in 1969 ever flashes past my eyes?
The answer is no - because it never happened!
It is revealing of Mr Furness to share his fantasies with us but if, in future, he publishes untrue statements about me, I shall have to seek legal advice on what action to take.
-Councillor Jeane Lepper, Mayor of Brighton and Hove
