I cannot say I am surprised by the sacking of Ian Hudspeth from Oxfordshire County Council by its leader Keith Mitchell.

Anyone who has the temerity to challenge Mr Mitchell’s dictatorship can expect nothing else.

It is a typically puerile reaction from a man whose arrogance knows no bounds, as he continues to rule with a rod of iron.

However, history is littered with many tinpot tyrants who have fallen on their sword sooner or later.

Watch this space.
