Neil Kinnock: Who's a Naughty Boyo Then?
Now here's a funny thing. Welsh windbag Neil Kinnock has been caught speeding twice - once for breaking a 40mph limit on the M4 and the second time for breaking a 50mph limit on the same road. He's due to appear in court this Thursday. This is very odd. Normally you just get a fixed penalty unless you're doing more than 30mph over the limit. Who's a naughty boyo boy then. I apologise for adding that extra 'o'. I really don't want to be investigated by the North Wales Secret Police for thought crimes against the Welsh Nation. I'm rather looking forward to visiting Cardiff on 15th May...

He's probably got a couple of other convictions. I bet it's totting up.
I'd be careful. According to the Guardian the Welsh are the most "touchy" group of people you'll ever meet.
Having lived in Wales for a while now, I have some sympathy with that viewpoint.
If it's in the Guardian it must be true.
not seen it in the daily mail,until then it's just rumour
Remember, Kinnock works in kilometres - oh no, that excuse doesn't work!
The North Wales Police is duty bound to investigate possible racist remarks under law created by the Englsh.
Ifan, with respect, that's bollocks. They seem to delight in wasting time looking into Ann Robinson and Tony Blair's remarks when they should be out there catching burglars. They're a joke.
How is it bollocks? NWP must confirm that a complaint has been made and then wait for the CPS to tell them whether to proceed.
They don't sit around a table saying, "Ooh, that Ann Robinson is a right old hag, let's annoy her this week."
It's the people who make the complaints in the first place who think that. ;)
And really, who doesn't like misery rained down upon Tony Blair and Ann Robinson?
Re: The Welsh being 'touchy'. It's the lack of originality in the jokes rather than any offensiveness that galls us. The English are famous for their wit but when it comes to slagging off their neighbours it's like Shakespeare and Blackadder never happened.
Does anyone know of any member of the Kinnock family (in laws included) who are not directly or indirectly on the EURO gravy train?
North Wales Police did not actually cover themselves in glory (something else entirely, in fact) when one of their Chief Inspectors wrote a pompous letter to Alison Pearson of the Mail accusing her of making anti-Welsh remarks when she appeared on "Question Time" on a particular date.
She pointed out (in large type in a full-page spread) that she is Welsh herself, and did not appear on Question Time in the first place.
One wonders how much detective ability it would have taken for North Wales Police to have enquired of the BBC who the panelists were on that particular occasion. Too much, apparently. Perhaps that is why their detection rate for real crime is in single figures..........
Whats the odds that when he turns up in court, Kinnock will know the press will be there and use it as a platform to bang on about his pet project the "Newport Airport"
