BRILLIANT letter from Mike Gough (“Politics” SWA November 26) handing out some timely advice to The Eye Specialist, (I would do this...I would do that) Terry Banfield. Does he think seriously, that Mr Banfield would take up the challenge and put himself forward for election to one of the posts he so wantonly criticises and regularly berates? Having been a reader of his interminable, misguided advice in your letters page for what seems an eternity, I like the possible prospect of push coming to shove, and his trying to put his preachings into practice. And I wonder if he would offer himself to the lucky, lucky electorate of Croesyceiliog North as an “Anarchist Party Candidate”? A title which I note he doesn’t sign himself off as, these days like he used to, for whatever reason.
