Nick finds his head
I am back in Cardiff Bay today and the first thing I noticed is that the cardboard cutout of Tory leader, Nick Bourne has resurfaced. Avid readers will recall that this life size effigy was produced for ITV Wales as part of their election coverage last May along with similar cut outs of Rhodri Morgan, Mike German and Ieuan Wyn Jones.
Somehow, following the Politician of the Year awards last month, Nick Bourne's head was knocked off. Nobody is quite sure what happened to the cut-outs of the other party leaders, though somebody has suggested that they may have ended up in a skip.
The Nick Bourne cut-out is now standing proudly in the office of Tory AM, Angela Burns. The head has been sellotaped back on and he is looking out beneficently over the car park. That should deter car thieves.
