Councillor Ewingtm: I will not withdraw i h » Ihe Mayor: ihat shows your very bad taste, and your disrespect for the chair. Councillor Ewington: You did not ! ask me to withdraw. The Mayor: You should not require to be asked. You should know how to behave yourself. Councillor Ewington: I have, behaved myself. Sfou have shown bias.
