I READ with amusement Cllr Bob Wellington’s jibe regarding “keyboard warriors” and his desire for open debate. Perhaps he could explain why Torfaen Council have cut the budget by £33m and are planning another £40m worth of cuts?


Is Cllr Bob Wellington in favour of the Con/Dem government’s austerity programme and its neo-liberalist ideology which punishes and scapegoats working class people?
If he isn’t, then why make the cuts? Where’s the fight back against job losses and the privatisation of services?
As Ed Balls has not ruled out making any cuts perhaps Cllr. Bob Wellington is playing a waiting game as he is more beholden to the Labour leadership than to the good people of Torfaen.
