The Jackdaw Has Crossed The Line

I used to think that The Jackdaw was a fun, satirical publication about Malmesbury life and supported it with a subscription.  Sadly however, a nasty and defamatory article by David Witt appeared in the May edition, which crossed the line into untruthful character assassination.

The article commented on individual Councillors, in particular myself, the Town Council and more specifically Mayor Making, both for this year and 2013.  I have always taken previous mentions in this magazine in good part, but for me this has gone way beyond what is acceptable. To say I am disappointed and disgusted by this article is an understatement!

The Jackdaw has now published a full apology to me in their August edition, along with a 'right of reply' article written by myself, to set the record straight.

Lastly, I think it is important to point out that there are many other contributors who write really good articles for The Jackdaw, especially about local history and happenings. So let's hope that now David Witt has stepped down from being co-editor, the magazine can return to it's previous amusing, informative and interesting self!
