Cutting Politicians A Little Slack
It seems to be becoming a common theme. Another day goes by, another elected Conservative official resigns. Last week, the Conservative MEPs' leader, Giles Chichester, stood down after a "technical breach" of expenses rules. This week, David Davis resigned in a bid to save our liberties. Now, it appears to be the turn of Conservative AM Alun Cairns.
Yes, unfortunately the Welsh Conservatives' Education Spokesman has stood down after calling Italians "greasy wops".
It's good to see we keep our elected officials accountable, but is there no-one else who thinks that's going a little far? At least he didn't call them pikeys, or, more appropriately, fascists.
