We spotted a letter in the local paper which claims that the lower echelon politicians of Swansea are too keen to appear in the press in order to identify themselves with causes beyond their pay-grade. The writer has an interesting way of challenging their commitment.
Sir,
I don’t think I have a seen a more pathetic spectacle than today’s photograph of Assembly members and councillors (Post July16) looking defiantly out to sea in “protest” at the proposed closure of Swansea coastguard.
None of the individuals posing on the headland has a shred of real influence because the decision was made in Westminster. All say they are appalled at the outcome but talk is cheap.
A more substantial gesture would be for the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats pictured to resign from their parties in protest and for the others to cough up their allowances to finance a campaign. Don't hold your breath.

It's an intriguing suggestion and we will be monitoring events closely - as the politicians often like to say.
