Neil Hamilton hits a new low.

I suspect Neil Hamilton, realising  that Ukip has lost the right wing LEAVE ground to the Brexit Party (Though you can't rule our a merger or cosidering the direction of his former)party rejoining the Tories) has decided that publicity could be the only way he can defend his seat in the next Welsh Assembly Elections is by making outrages statements.

What else is behind his "personal attack" on Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

The Children's Commissioner for Wales has criticised a UKIP AM for making a "personal attack" Ms  Thunberg.
Sally Holland said she was "mortified" by Neil Hamilton's tweet that included a picture mocking the 16-year-old.
Ms Holland has written to him expressing "disappointment" that Mr Hamilton could make an "attack on a child on social media in this manner".
But he said it would be preposterous if Ms Thunberg was immune from criticism.
Ms Thunberg, whose solo protest outside the Swedish Parliament inspired the school climate strike movement, has been lauded for her emotive speeches to politicians.
Responding on Twitter, Sally Holland said: "I am mortified that a politician in Wales could make a personal attack on a child on social media in this manner.
"I have written to Mr Hamilton today expressing my disappointment in his failure to uphold high standards of public conduct."
On Tuesday, the teen activist lashed out at French lawmakers for mocking her in a speech to parliament that was boycotted by far-right politicians.
In her speech, Ms Thunberg responded to her critics and restated her demands for urgent action from governments to curb carbon emissions.
She said children like her have become "the bad guys" for daring to tell politicians "uncomfortable things" about climate change.

Reacting to Ms Holland's criticism, Mr Hamilton, who is AM for the Mid and West Wales region, said Greta Thunberg had "very publicly entered the adult realm of political controversy".

"If cabinet ministers such as Michael Gove take the opinions of this 16-year-old seriously then public criticism of her should be fair game," he said.
"Miss Thunberg is currently pushing for policies estimated to cost the UK taxpayer £1 trillion which will hit the poorest the hardest."
The UKIP AM said the "Greta-inspired 'Extinction Rebellion'" had also been responsible for nationwide disruption and the notion she "should be immune from criticism after all this is preposterous".
"If cabinet ministers such as Michael Gove take the opinions of this 16-year-old seriously then public criticism of her should be fair game," he said.

The UKIP AM said the "Greta-inspired 'Extinction Rebellion'" had also been responsible for nationwide disruption and the notion she "should be immune from criticism after all this is preposterous".
Why is a leftie Quangocrat paid nearly £100,000 by the Welsh taxpayer seeking to censor the legitimate opinions of an elected representative of the people?
"My mandate derives from the Welsh people. Where does Ms Holland derive her mandate from?
"The post of children’s commissioner should be abolished and money wasted on the position should be diverted to the crumbling Welsh NHS."
What a Pathetic little man  is Neil Hamilton and we can only hope that after the 2021 , he is sent back to the "Reality" show circus.
But as we have the most right wing iK cabinet in living memory and a Limited Company posing as political party under Nigel Farage who seem to have acquired a great deal of money from god knows where , his successor his probably going to be as vile.
We are entering a disturbing period of both UK and Welsh politics and with or without Neil Hamilton I fear for the Liberal Social policies we have established .

I for one welcome Mr Hamilton's new-found concern for "the poorest". Other than that his latest little outburst seems entirely in character.

Thankfully there's no chance of 'Herr Hamilton' being able to jump ship and get elected under the brexit party banner - Nigel Farage loathes neil Hamilton as do the brexit party AMs in the Senedd. And you have to laugh at the convicted criminal"s claim to 'have a mandate from the people of Wales' - he lives in Wiltshire and refused to move to the Welsh constituency he was elected to serve since he became an AM
