YOU would never think that a planning dispute in Headington can be likened to the situation in the Ukraine but it can be, especially if you are Councillor John Goddard who maintains that “the council troops” are ready to move in and demolish the alleged illegal buildings, just like Putin is possibly ready to move in and destroy the Ukraine.

Well Mr Goddard, you are so insensitive towards the Ukrainians that you should resign for comparing the two issues but not before you issue a full page apology to the people of Ukraine.

It gives me cause for concern for our country when we elect people like this to offices of power, heaven help us if we get more Mr Goddards elected.

And finally Mr Goddard, your comments were not even funny, so do not think of becoming a comedian after you resign.
