Comments
When people say someone was a "character" it's usually an underhand insult. However, in this case it isn't, Mr Hulme was a character and the council chamber needs more of them.
Have Your Say
We really do need more people of the caliber of Ken Hulme, never afraid to confront the thorny issues, to raise their head above the parapet. I was going to end by saying RIP Ken, but I daresay in the great hereafter, he’ll be busy knocking a few heads together, championing the underdog from his ethereal vantage point.
