I RECEIVED Paul Flynn’s election leaflet and, if I had known it was on the way, I would have barred the deliverer from my property. I glanced at it and two statements leapt out at me. The first was “From Newport: For Newport”.

Now I consider that a very strange statement as I know Paul Flynn is Cardiff born, bred and educated.

The second statement he made is that “Everyone knows someone who has been helped by Paul Flynn”.

Well I for one don’t know anybody, but I do know that I and four or five families near me have asked for his help in the past and got none.

Now it seems that Paul Flynn has been in a spat with one of his political opponents about the time he spends writing books and the money earned from those books, but irrespective of where the money goes, Paul Flynn is writing books in the time he should be devoting to helping his constituents.

Unfortunately for us, he doesn’t.
