  Ploughing through some archive snippets I stumbled across this old news broadcast from 1977 involving DDC:

  1:04 to 1:37 is the relevant section. I wonder what the outcome was?
  
  I suppose this was probably filmed at the long demolished Dover TV station:

  I have a faint memory of the case but no details. Ray Norley was a friend of mine and continued as a councillor, serving in a number of capacities for many years after 1977. He was on DDC in 1983 when I was first elected and became chairman of the Finance Committee. If the court had found against him he would not have been in such a position.
  
  Ray was a highly controvercial character but one who was highly respected and had great personal integrity.

  They obviously found in his favour, so was it just a case of smear campaigning from the then Labour group ? Nothing changes does it ?

  Didn't Ray accuse someone of "piddling in the corridors of power" or some such at a party conference?

  do you have any evidence of that roger?
  
  all i can find is that the he was charged, i presume exonerated.
  
  you then say that nothing changes, that can only mean that the reds are smearing the blues.
  
  again i can find no evidence of that.
