Closing down sale

It’s a rather ironic joke that the blimp in red braces paraded by the Swansea Lib Dem leadership as the new “city centre ambassador” is the same guy who was threatening to form his own breakaway party just last month (Reverting to Type – 15 May).

We understand that Sticky Dick Lewis was “close to tears” when he phoned half-a-dozen possible colleagues with a proposed secession scam minutes after Chris Holley refused to back his demands to be made council chairman. As one source told us, “Richard must have heard that the job came with a chain”.

Lewis later accepted the vice-chairman spot and a gimmicky non-position (sans special responsibility payment). Which just goes to confirm that every politician has his price – plus a generous discount in his case.

Have you seen the photo of the Big Dick standing dressed up in a "business man" costume. He looks like an overfed extra from Wall Street.

Tricky Dickie's ideal for the job. Can't wait for the public floggings in the Castle Gardens amphitheatre. A businessman like Mr Lewis will charge admission, sell beer and burgers, possibly DVDs of the entertainment for people to enjoy at home later, and bingo! - there's the money for the new car parks.

Swansea's saviour! I think I'll move back.

Where did you get that 'photo ? it looks very familiar to the run down location of "Kattoys" Dickie's emporium when it was in Oxford St.

Tricky Dick's clothes in the recent Beans' photo are similar to the attire of the pig bankers in Martin Rowson's cartoons.

Dicky was observed walking the corridors of power this morning,in Khaki shorts, a short sleeve shirt and union jack socks.
Having been appointed an Ambassador for the City, is he also organising a Scout Jamboree to increase footfall ?
