Cllr Sully ward
Vale of Glamorgan County Council
Excuse the quick browse, but nothing to do with the gaffe
uttered by a UKIP ‘star’ yesterday?
I’m a member, but I do wish these people who miraculously get top places on MEP
lists (how they manage it is anyone’s guess), and subsequently elected, would
refrain from foolish comments, as it’s us grass roots members on the doors who
often have to pick up the pieces- grassrooters without the luxury of being
picked out and placed at the pinnacle of MEP lists and ‘selected’ for nice MP
races.
Not much to ask from members, is it?
