Plaid Cymru should kick out a councillor who was sanctioned for swearing at a Labour councillor and for using discriminatory language, the leader of Llanelli Town Council has said. Cllr David Darkin made the call after Cllr Terry Davies was suspended as a Llanelli town councillor for one month by Carmarthenshire Council's standards committee.
The committee's decision followed an investigation by the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales. The committee decided that Cllr Davies's use of "eff off" or "f*** off" at Cllr Andre McPherson and his comment of, "Wales are [sic] for Welsh people and we have a Welsh community here," breached the councillors' code of conduct.
Now Cllr Darkin wants Plaid to expel Cllr Davies, and claimed it was "supporting anti-English sentiments" by allowing him to stay in the party. Cllr Darkin said "any kind of extreme view has no place in our tolerant town and local politics". The Labour councillor added that Llanelli had a "fantastic culture of inclusivity".
