A ‘horrified’ councillor says comments he made about people ‘crossing the channel in an open boat’ have been misinterpreted. Coun John Taylor says the ‘unacceptable’ remarks - made during a debate about a controversial housing scheme - highlighted objectors’ concerns, but did not represent his own views.
Proposals to build 200 homes at Mirrlees Fields, in Stockport, were ultimately rejected at a meeting of the council’s planning committee, to the delight of local campaigners. But Coun Taylor has been urged to explain his contribution to the discussion after he suggested the homes would not be occupied ‘by people crossing the channel in an open boat with a paddle’, but Stockport people who have jobs and pay taxes.John Pearson, of Stockport United Against Austerity, asked for an explanation of his words - and their relevance - at the February meeting of the planning committee. “We hope that Coun Taylor’s sentiments are not shared by other members of the committee,” he said. “We fear that comments like this, in a publicly webcast meeting might continue to be made if they are not challenged by other people.”READ MORE: Dozens of new flats could be built near historic town centre church
Mr Pearson said that a letter from his group - supported by Stockport Alliance for Equality and Stockport Stand Up to Racism - was sent to all members of the panel but only received one response. He asked whether it had been discussed and if a statement would be made ‘about this totally unacceptable behaviour by an elected member’.
Coun Taylor did not respond directly at the meeting, but told the Local Democracy Reporting Service his remarks had been misinterpreted and did not represent his own personal views.

Naman Ramachandran Kevin Lygo, managing director, media and entertainment at ITV, has revealed what he thinks are the key ingredients to the success of the upcoming revival of “Big Brother” on the U.K. commercial broadcaster this fall. The British version of the iconic reality TV series is set to return to screens this year after what will be a five-year hiatus on network ITV2 and streaming platform ITVX. From its launch in 2000 until 2010 the show aired on Channel 4 before moving to Channel 5 in 2011. It ran there for seven years until Channel 5 finally retired the format in 2018. Speaking to the media during an earnings call after ITV declared its 2022 financial results, Lygo said: “The key to ‘Big Brother’ is to keep it like it was in its golden period – to have it more interesting, intelligent, upmarket etc. than other reality shows. It’s a great addition to have in the autumn [fall] period.”
