Politicians think they can walk all over us
THE politicians of all persuasions of the UK are an absolute total disgrace.
All so-called Remainer MPs think of is their own greedy selves, they are totally ignoring the will of 17.4 million who voted to leave the undemocratic EU.
Last but not least, on our own doorstep we have the Vale council. At the last election the Labour council was booted out of office and we had a Tory-led council.
This seemed to work until several Tory councillors voted against their own party, which then led to council leader John Thomas jumping ship along with several of his Tory colleagues. This meant they were now independent councillors who joined up with the Labour Party.
The next thing we knew Neil Moore, who won his seat by the skin of his teeth, volunteered to become leader of the Labour group, which now became the Vale council with Neil Moore at the helm.
Now my point being this – Vale council does not have a mandate from the people so it should go back to the people. Neil Moore should resign with immediate effect and give the people the choice of who runs the Vale.
I never voted Labour and I know a lot of other people never voted Labour. How on Earth can we have a Labour-run council when no-one voted for it?
The politicians of this country are a shocking, disgusting disgrace, who seem to think they can walk all over the people and get away with it.

Discouraged from ever voting again
I WRITE in support of Judith Milsom’s letter of October 7 (Echo, “No influence in Europe in 40 years”).
Politicians are supposed to carry out the will of the people, not ignore it and do what they want.
The leader of the Liberal unDemocrats has admitted she has no intention of honouring the referendum and, as Judith says, the Welsh Labour Party, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party are of the same persuasion.
I’ve decided it is no longer worth putting an X on the ballot paper, it’s just a waste of paper.

Taking the pension fight to Number 10
RECENTLY two former ASW steelworkers and four members of the Pension Advisory Group handed letters signed and drafted by Welsh Assembly Members of all colours into 10 Downing Street, asking that the Prime Minister finally puts an end to the inhumane robbing of workers’ pensions and pay these pensions in full.
These workers, like many thousands, put their trust in successive UK governments when they encouraged them to secure a decent retirement for them and their families, and pay into a company pension scheme, only for these same governments to shamelessly betray that trust.
