Dont be fooled by crocodile tears

As I mentioned in this post, Newport Council is six seats short of an election. As a result of the death of two sitting councilors who were both standing for re-election, last night's celebrations carryu with them the sense of anticlimax in this neck of the woods.

The two wards affected are Bettws ans St Julians.

Bettws is the sink estate of the universe, home to uninsured motorists galore and a secondary school the inside of which, when I was called upon to visit it as an official of the PTA of one of its feeder schools, left me with the profound impression that I should have the army blow it up as a service to humanity. It will come as no surprise to hear all three of its councillors were Liebour through and through.

And the best thing one can say about St Julians is that its councillors consider it the height of political achievement to get the street lights fixed. And by god do you need them, lest you trip in the dark over the piles of black bags of rotting rubbish left in the streets by dustmen who have found, in the three councillors elected from that area, a champion for their newly-found status as non-collectors of rubbish.

New Liebour were dealt a pretty crushing blow last week. But not crushing enough. One must take it as read that unless a feat of ethnic cleansing the likes of which has not been seen since kosovo takes place in Bettws, they will hand all three seats to New Liebour stooges.

So that leaves the St Julians Ward. And ANY Liebour success here would rescue them from to the state of 'no overall control' into which they have been plunged. All they need to do to keep hold of the reins of power is follow the example of Rhodri "Golfer" Morgan and kiss the arse of Plaid Cymru Dynasty Founder Mohammed Asghar and they suddenly have a workable majority.

I wouldn't mind betting a lot of New Liebour scum are going to be treading the streets of St Julians over the next couple of months peddling a tale of lessons learned and contrite tears shed.

We must remember at all costs that one can NEVER trust a word the liars buggers and thieves utter.
