In a move likely to enrage the local Labour Party, a woman who is allegedly one of its most vociferous supporters has been issued with a Criminal Behaviour Order banning her from parts of the town.
As those that follow the local political scene know only too well, the Labour vote is shrinking more quickly than an ice cube under a hot grill. They can ill afford to lose the vote of a woman who could probably claim to represent the sort of person who provides much of their vote share these days.
A spokeperson for the local Labour Party was quoted as saying they are seeking (free) legal advice from Christina Rees and Jeremy Miles as to whether the CBO would exclude the woman from local polling stations in future elections, and that if it did, they would look in to whether she would be allowed to travel on a donkey to Aberdulais to put her cross against Welsh Labour there. The spokesperson added that the woman is the very sort of person that makes shopping visits to Neath such an unforgettable experience and Neath could ill do without her and her ilk. She was a shining example of the success of Labour's social and welfare policies, examples of which are endemic throughout South Wales villages, towns and cities.
