After a wonderful week away it's back down to earth again, on the campaign trail.
Keeping a fairly low profile since putting my head above the pulpit on Monday when Nick Clegg came to town. I'm not really one for protesting but I was persuaded to go and hold a placard on the education cuts that are currently happening in Swansea. Nationally Lib Dems are saying that they are the party of smaller classrooms but while the current Lib Dem council cuts teachers jobs the exact opposite is going to happen!
But that's it for me for a while on the protest front after being haranged by this guy who was very bitter about Labour. I don't think I handled it very well - I probably should have walked away but easier said than done, particularly when someone insults you personally.
But funnily enough the person who gained the most publicity was the main Socialist Worker protagonist in town, who got pushed to the ground by a policeman for having the audacity to try and speak using a loud hailer. He was apparently dragged away and had the offending article taken off him (that's stealing isn't it?!) but by the time I got there he was back again and heckling quite loudly without it!
I'm sticking to leafletting!!
