PRECEDENT IS SHAMEFUL
South Wales Evening Post - 8 August 2006
For years, Wales and its people have been striving for their own identity, with voice and independence in Europe. Wales has its official language and is able to manage its own affairs through the Assembly. Has no-one told the councillors of Swansea?
Along comes Tim Thorogood, who I believe is English, and in a cavalier fashion tells Swansea Council what he wants. Immediately the Welsh inferiority complex kicks in, master and man take over. With much doffing of cloth caps and tugging of forelock, the councillors give Mr Thorogood what he wants.
How shameful! A precedent has now been set. Soon Gower will be covered with three-bed stables and four-bed barns.
