Councillor suspended for telling people 'Wales is for Welsh people'

A town councillor is serving a suspension after being found to have used discriminatory language against two other councillors and to have sworn at one of them.

Carmarthenshire Council's standards committee said on the balance of probabilities Llanelli town councillor Terry Davies told Cllr Andre McPherson to "eff off" or "f*** off" outside a children's play park and that he used discriminatory language towards Cllr McPherson and Cllr Suzy Curry.

The Public Services Ombudsman of Wales had previously said that it was not disputed that Cllr Davies called the two Labour members "drop-in councillors" and "outsiders" and that he said: "Wales are [sic] for Welsh people and we have a Welsh community here."
