THEY SAY our political classes are out of touch, none more so that our Mr Flynn.

Amongst his website ramblings, he said he would like to see Syrian refugees come to Britain in large numbers and, as he points out, they all get dumped “for want of a better word” in poor deprived areas of the UK and, thanks to decades of Labour misrule, that about sums Newport up.

Is that what this town needs – large numbers of refugees whose own country has been made unlivable, not thanks to famine or a natural catastrophe, but through deep seated religious hatred against the people of their own country?

The people of Newport could never begin to understand and, as we have seen across the Channel, it only takes a couple of highly wound up individuals to create carnage on the streets.

His dig about Tory MPs making sure they don’t get put in their constituencies.

What about representing the town? It’s their job – a job they seem reluctant or unable to do. Is it any wonder this town is in such a horrific state with Labour’s version of Dad’s Army running the show?

Please, people of Newport, let’s use our votes to show this muddled fool the door.
