“Most people know, most people in town who know, people who are to be respected, know all about you Matthew. [Your OPD] is a big story..You are a sham and a fraud...You have lied about everything, everything up there, you just lie. It’s all a snare and illusion, everything that you do, everything that you say is a lie...You are are a real original conman...You ask a lot of people in Newport, including a lot of people who’ve been on the Town Council and who are on the Town Council, they will agree with us.” Ian and Vivienne Ward

"Apart from being an arrogant twat [Matthew and his family] live in what can only be termed a rural slum, and claim to make a living on a couple of acres from selling eggs.

But this is One Planet living. A parallel universe, where for planning permission, fire safety regulations, child welfare, etc., all the norms and laws of society that you and I must obey are suspended." Royston Jones
