A past dodgy deal by the Southern District Council President has been reported to us.
Kim-John Webb, who owned V J Bartlett Jewellers in Middle Street, Southampton, was convicted of ripping off Lela Hughes, 68, when she brought the silver Benson pocket watch into his shop for valuation. His crime only came to light when a disgusted colleague told police what he had done.
A trial at Southampton Crown Court convicted Webb of obtaining property by deception after hearing he told Mrs Hughes the watch was worth just £15 and took it in exchange for carrying out £35 worth of work on another watch. A sister watch had sold at auction earlier this year for £20,000.
SNU President David Bruton, is soft on crime within the SNU. In the Abbotts case his NEC removed their Individual Memberships and debarred them both from membership for a period of five years. In the case of Webb he is now President of the Southern District Council.
The SNU will take people with criminal convictions to their bosom fairly easily. Have a look at top man Graham Hewitt‘s page and that of the Abbotts.
Fair play for SNU churches
