Brian Coleman breached Barnet standards code

From the BBC:

Brian Coleman received an e-mail from blogger Roger Tichborne, critical of the leadership of Barnet Council, which was sent to all local Tory councillors. In a reply he called Mr Tichborne "an obsessive, poisonous individual". The blogger argued this was improper behaviour for a councillor and Barnet's standards sub-committee has agreed.

Full reasons for the decision will be given at a later date. Apparently it's unclear whether Coleman will be punished, but it's still quite a triumph for Roger Tichborne, whose Barnet Eye blog I've had the pleasure of linking to in the past.
