False teeth broken in council row
A WOMAN councillor hit a 72-year-old by-election candidate so hard that she broke his denture.
Tory Penny Jackman, 47, slapped Ukip member Mike Beggs during a count for a seat on Lymington and Pen- nington Council, Hants.
He had printed a campaign leaflet criticising the coun- cil in a row over attempts to evict a cricket club.
Mr Beggs, who received “a full apology”, said he was landed with dental repair bill of more than £1,000.
He is considering legal action.
“Local politics is a dangerous business,” he added.
Another candidate won.
