“You were wrong,” Brigita tells those who doubted in today’s Medway Messenger

To Mrs Collinson the message from Mrs Amey in today’s Medway Messenger was simple: “you were wrong, now have the courage to admit it!”

Mrs Amey, who my source outside the party has confirmed to me is the same Brigita Amey announced elsewhere in the paper as the new Chairman of the Gillingham Tories, was referring to a letter which Mrs Collinson wrote in February, doubting whether or not Cllr Chishti would run the Reading Half Marathon for charity. Brigita’s first punch, then, was “I am sure Mrs Collinson will be delighted to join me in congratulating Cllr Reh Chishti for completing the Reading half-marathon.”

As Brigita pointed out in her letter Cllr Chishti raised £500 for various charities. With Cllr Chishti running again in August, Brigita then delivers the second punch “perhaps Mrs Collinson would like to pledge a donation to the St Margaret’s Church Well Fund, to be paid when Cllr Chishti completes his second marathon this year”. Ouch!
