Ceredig: April 2008
http://ceredig.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 April 2008. A little ado about what, exactly? Yesterday’s Western Mail. Had a story about Chris Bryant drawing attention to an apparent inconsistency between two senior Plaid Figures. According to the story, Ieuan Wyn Jones welcomed this year's air show at Sophia Gardens, whilst two years ago, Plaid’s Chief Executive, Gwenllian Lansdown condemned a similar event at the same location as being a showcase for arms dealers. Bryant claimed that this showed a major inconsistency. Ordovicius. The pr...

Ceredig: November 2007

Friday, 30 November 2007. The real scandal, to me, was that a governing party which pledged to bring transparency to political funding, and passed laws requiring donations to be declared, then proceeded to use a loophole in its own legislation by asking potential donors to turn their gifts into loans so that they would not need to be declared. Links to this post. Labels: cash for honours. Wednesday, 28 November 2007. Ambition isn't the same as Ability. It’s not often that I come to the support of t...

Tuesday, 25 March 2008. In my previous post, I referred to the statement by Ieuan Wyn Jones on the transport grant settlement. Normal Mouth. Picks up on the same issue, although dealing more with the substance of the issue than the spin. I said in my previous post that ‘green’ is a word with more than one meaning – so is ‘sustainable’. At its basest, politicians seem to interpret it as meaning nothing more than ‘whatever we can get away with’. As long as ...Links to this post. Wednesday, 19 March 2008.

Wednesday, 28 May 2008. Yesterday’s fuel protests by truckers brought to the forefront some key dichotomies in public attitudes, and drew out some interesting political responses as well. The situation raises a number of different issues at the same time. Fifthly, we all tell politicians that we care about the environment, and want to do more to protect it – until it starts to hurt. Then, we want someone else to pay the ‘green taxes’. Politicians know this, so while they say the...Rail transport already ...

Ceredig: January 2008
http://ceredig.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 January 2008. Now, call me cynical, but I think that if a Labour MP had said that, there would have been indignant howls from Plaid quarters, and the words 'dinosaur' and 'Brit-nat' would be flying all over the place. Many have commented previously that the purpose of the Commission, under Emyr Parry-Jones, is far from being clear, and there has always been a suspicion that it was intended, above all else, to simply buy some time. It took one of the most contentious issues in the agreem...

Wednesday, February 28, 2007. The Welsh Dragon - a Satanic Symbol? A new party in Wales is about to launch a campaign to replace Y Ddraig Goch as the national flag of Wales . because it's the symbol of the devil. Party manifesto coordinator Rev David P Griffiths from The new Welsh Christian Party. Declared it an outrage that various government, housing and tourism bodies in North Wales associate themselves with a symbol of defeat and Satan the dragon. Tom Bodden tells the full story.

GOG WITH A BLOG: December 2006
http://gogwithablog.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 19, 2006. I must admit I’m a regular viewer of Relocation, Relocation. But there’s one issue which keeps bugging me with these kinds of programmes - the scant regard for cultural integration. Most programmes feature an affluent couple from the city wishing to relocate to the country , which is usually a long away from their previous home. Mass migration also continues to have a huge - mostly deteriorating - impact on the language and culture of our communities. Many Welsh towns and ...

Friday, April 27, 2007. Why I will vote for Plaid. At the risk of stating-the-bloody-obvious I'm going to announce where my support with be going in next week's Assembly elections - Plaid Cymru. Of course. Why? Not because I think Plaid are perfect and the answer to all of Wales's many problems. Indeed, no. Problems such as poverty, crime, and unemployment, despite their promises. (Interestingly though, they can. Posted by Wynne Jones @ 6:30 PM. Links to this post. Monday, April 16, 2007. Referring to hi...
