Retired UK Diplomat in trouble over blog comments

A retired British Diplomat, now chairman of a Scottish local council, has come under fire following comments he made on blog that were derogatory about the locals.

Peter Hinchcliffe, former UK ambassador to Jordan has outraged residents in the Berwickshire hamlets of Hutton and Paxton with comments that included referring to a local home as “sewage cottage” and other members of the community as “simple country folk”.

The Scotsman reports that Villagers want Hinchcliffe removed as local community council chairman because of “insulting” remarks in Huttonian, his personal blog.
