Can you spot the (very) small print declaring who is actually publishing the fake “local paper”, The East Devon Echo?

Let Owl enlarge it for you:

Could this be Cllr. Mike Goodman, chair of EDDC Scrutiny Committee?

He discloses that he is a member of the Conservative Party but Owl can find no mention that he has ever disclosed that he publishes a local newspaper on behalf of former journalist Simon Jupp.

As chair of the Scrutiny Committee is this consistent with the Nolan Principles of: Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty and leadership?

Another own goal for the Tories! – Owl
