A couple of reader’s letters appear in the Swansea local rag today slagging off tory Rene Kinzett for a range of short-comings. Penned by a Lib Dem nondescript and some stooge from the wonderfully oxymoronic Independents@Swansea, their basic gripe, besides a deep regret that the Mayals councillor continues to draw breath, is that he also insists on making “political capital out of any incident”. The total bastard!
But wait a minute. Last we heard, Kinzett was leader of an opposition political group who actually go around making political whatsit out of situations; because that’s what they..er, do. Of course, he happens to do it better than most – even when he’s not actually in the city. Which is something that really pisses off the Lib Dems in particular as they quite pride themselves on their leading edge electoral engagement, yada-yada.
Instead of protesting too much however, what these two minor players need to figure out is why their attack on the tory mouthpiece will be read only by the hundred or so souls who actually bother to turn to the letters page whilst any response from Kinzett on his blog site is guaranteed a much wider audience and also stands a chance of getting reproduced as a news item if he calls anyone ‘past it’ or mentions his cat.
