To lambast: to reprimand or berate harshly; censure; excoriate.

QLocal thinks this is the best word to sum up the stance taken by Ormskirk businessman Paul Ponting and Police Commissioner Clive Grunshaw over a shocking state of affairs that's been festering over the last year or so and came to a head when QLocal broke the exclusive of his civil claim again the Lancashire Constabulary in June.

'Clive

You have NOT supported my efforts at all, how dare you say you have!

You blocked me from the OPCC Facebook page and ignored my cries for help when my children’s data was published on the internet by a troll, supplied by a Lancashire Police officer, DS Andy Langton. You even passed my personal email that I sent to you, to the Police! Why did you do that! Feeding them with anything against me!

You have/had the ability to bring the Chief Constable to account and this was what you should have done.

The Chief Constable is the data controller for Lancashire and he is responsible for the data leak of my children's data to a Police Informer that you have been complicit in protecting all along.

This is on your hands, you had to power to do something and you chose to do nothing.

I am seeking your resignation and will drag your name through the mud for what you allowed!

You say you cannot comment further, this is typical political crap for not wanting to say anything.

Paul'
