 | | Mr Sanders, who was not at last night's council meeting, has already been suspended from the Conservative party, which is investigating comments he made to journalists about the Irish. |
 | | The council leader was unrepentant and, in an interview with the Belfast Telegraph newspaper, prepared to show little sympathy for the dead soldier, saying people in the armed forces had to be "prepared to deal with a bullet". |
 | | Peterborough city council stressed that Mr Sanders' views on Northern Ireland were not those of the council and said it had apologised to Carrickfergus council for any offence caused. |
