The Lancashire Telegraph website published a story on Friday entitled "Councillor defends immigration remarks" regarding Coun Michael Johnson.
Coun Johnson has asked us to point out that he was not a member of the England First Party, although he did represent them on Blackburn with Darwen Council.
He has also asked us to point out that he has never said he was living on £67 a week and that, although he believes that the NHS is overstretched, he does not think "foreigners" are to blame.
