HOW much longer must Argus readers suffer from the daily nonsense written by Councillor Nigel Dix? If he is fulfilling his role properly as a councillor, how does he have so much time? His time would be better spent helping those who elected him, to make their area better and a safer place to live.

He is typical of Labour politicians, who constantly blame the Tories in England and Plaid in Wales for the dreadful mess left by his beloved Labour Government. His understanding of true economics is non-existent. It takes seven years to turn an economy round, his beloved Labour had 13 years of central government rule, and have ruled Wales for just as long, and what have they left us with in Wales? The highest levels of child poverty in the UK, the poorest areas in the UK, the highest levels of unemployment among young people in the UK, the poorest standards of education in the UK and in fact in Europe (40 percent of 11-year-olds with reading ages of seven or less), and some of the poorest standards in the NHS in the UK.

The facts are the facts Nigel Dix, so stop writing stuff and nonsense and try to bring back some credibility to politicians.

Get on with trying to put this country back to some semblance of order and development.
