I WAS disgusted to read in the Malvern Gazette that the Tory thought police have deselected Paul Tuthill in the forthcoming district council elections.

I have served alongside Paul for many years and he has been an upstanding member with the highest integrity.

That Harry Turner dodged the question that he had been deselected speaks volumes for the Tories' lack of moral guts.

They are an absolute disgrace, and should hang their heads in shame.

Farewell, a loyal public servant.
