IN RESPONSE to Paul Flynn’s obscure recent post to the letters page, suggesting I use some alias to criticise some of what he does, the Argus can put him right. As regards to campaigning for 30 years: doesn’t look like Mr Flynn is all that successful, and that was the basis of the criticism. His sole claim to fame seems to be launching EDMs no-one reads in bulk. I reserve a perfect right to comment on issues that cover the UK he adds his ten pennyworth to. Democracy is annoying, isn’t it Paul? We don’t know our place. Suggesting as I am living in the wrong part of Newport to offer comment to him is ludicrous. Read the Argus, Paul: Newport is going down faster than the Titanic did. Time to focus here, or find yourself with no city to represent.
