Glenys Kinnock stamps on the face of the world

News that the Anglesey Fishwife’s carbon footprint is greater than almost all other 785 members of the European Parliament was revealed in today’s The Sunday Times (Globetrotting MEPs scramble aboard gravy train¹ by Jason Allardyce and Jon Ungoed-Thomas). It’s precisely what we suspected, and very much in tune with what Cambriapolitico has been saying about Glenys Kinnock¹s consistent and long-term abuse of her position as one of the elected European representatives for Wales.

Who gives a fig about the Welsh unemployed…

In all her years as an MEP, not once, it appears, has La Kinnocchia performed a single service in Brussels or Strasbourg on behalf of her electorate, preferring instead to concentrate on the needs of the people of Africa, and jet around the world at our expense on meaningless “fact-finding” junkets to exotic and interesting parts of the world. Places, you can be sure, with a good deal more sunshine than either Anglesey or Bedwellty (of which hubby Neil is now ‘baron’). Now this is not to say that the issue of the interests of the people of Africa shouldn’t be raised in the European Parliament, but since Kinnock was ostensibly elected to represent the people of Wales – one of the poorest and most deprived parts of the mighty EU – her electors might have expected a tad more for their votes, and indeed, their hard-earned money? Surely there are MEPs from relatively prosperous regions of Europe who might well have the time and the spare cash to champion the cause of Africa? No, it’s left to our Glen, despite the desperate state into which her lamentable party has led our little country. She’s got the time, the cash and the attitude. Sod the beleaguered farmers and the woebegone unemployed of Wales.

Fishwife Glen: FIVE TIMES round the world at our expense!

According to the ST, Kinnock is the ‘best travelled’ of all 78 UK MEPs, and has covered a staggering 127,465 miles on behalf of the Welsh electorate – ‘equivalent to flying round the world more than five times’! As part of her work for the farmers of Ceredigion, the steel-workers of Neath and Port Talbot and the unemployed of just about everywhere else in our little country, the Fishwife has been on delegations to the Seychelles (“Welcome to Another World”), Barbados (“Wake up to the rhythm of the tropics and paradise to explore.”) and Namibia (“Never fails to enthral its visitors….still poets do not tire to invent attributes to do justice to its unique, ever-varying magnificence.”)
Yes, yes, we get the picture. But we should be very angry.

Wales needs proper representation in Brussels as never before

Mercifully, the Fishwife and her ghastly handmaiden and sidekick Eluned Morgan are standing down as MEPs, (their only Welsh initiative in Brussels, incidentally, has been to pour scorn on the Welsh language in a revolting exhibition of BNP-style xenophobia) but when Welsh voters put their crosses to their ballot papers this week, they should think very carefully about giving a carte blanche to any representative of any party other than a Welsh one. Jill Evans has served Wales loyally and royally since 1999. Bear that in mind on June 4th. Wales desperately needs proper representation in Brussels as never before. It has been appallingly betrayed by the Fishwife and her flighty coven of freeloaders.
