The day of the Quango is ……

…… coming to a close, thus spake the treasury.  Central Government has previously said the numbers of quangos was falling, a lie of enormous proportions, since Brown became PM 40 new obscenities have been created, almost one for every month of misrule.

Total cost, a miserable £34 billion during 2008, and they get increases every year, £34 billion of taxpayers hard earned money to non-accountable organisations.

Now back at the Bay of Pointlessness, Cardiff Bay home to the Welsh Assembly, the question of quangos is poignant, the piquant smells, emanating from the half a billion edifice to the mediocre, overwhelm the sensibilities of most Welsh people, it is only the Nationalists who gain from the pungent odours of unaccountability.

Which might be quangos to go-go, now that prudence is descending on the Welsh Assembly?  Newspeak has arrived amongst the not so clever of the Assembly, no quangos to be found, they have been renamed, now we must search for Assembly Government Sponsored Bodies, 12 of them.

Don't look away, there is another deal of this particular deck of cards, we have Advisory Assembly Government Sponsored Bodies, another 14.  And there are 5 Tribunals.  Last but not least 3 Executive Assembly Government Sponsored Bodies have been absorbed into government departments, Education, Tourism and Development.

New names, still non-accountable organisations, undemocratic, paid for by the poor of Wales.

I wonder how many doses of flue vaccine could be provided by this incestuous family of unaccountable government?

"I can work with most political parties, I will not work with those that would destroy my country"

In short, your against democracy and refuse to work with a significant number of others in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England.

How apt that prospective conservative MP's don't mirror your obscenely imperialist views..

Only 54% believe that the Union must be “maintained at all costs” with the remaining 46% stated that they were"not being uncomfortable" at the thought of Scotland going it alone.

Your narrow and prejudiced definition of the UK is an impediment to change and greater public engagement in democracy, you are a dinosaur that would do well top have a long hard look in the mirror.

"...... maximum liberty in both personal and economic matters.I would advocate a much smaller government; one that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence. I also tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties."


But your against the self determination of nations to form sovereign states to democratically represent their nations people.

Hypocrite?

I'm solidly against Nationalism of any kind, I refer you to Germany 1930's - 40's, your Nationalism imposes wide government, micro managing an obscene vision.

Nationalists are not wanted on today's political journey, they spout sermons of disunity, scummy no-matter where they originate.

Bollocks

You don't even know what Scots and Welsh nationalism is about, your so shrouded like AM2 in your own self loathing and bigotry.

There is no need for a united kingdom, we are a social union, always have been, well before the acts of union.

How do you explain the existence of welsh and Scottish culture in spite of colonial discrimination?

I'm guessing that like AM2 your actually a bit of a fascist, an anti-nationalist who believes that voters shouldn't have the right to chose their own future, better the 'mother' Westminster looks after us all.

Your a dinosaur mate.

Politics is going local not global, the EU has the right idea with it's definition of regions.

The UK Union is a relic, outmoded, unfair, discriminatory and ultimately from an imperial age that just isn't relevant to today.

Isn't it time that you removed your considerable hairy bulk from the progressive path?

I have indeed, is this a sign of the censorship and 'moderation' symptomatic in the unionist mindset. AM2 choses to simply narrow the debate when he's losing the argument.

How sad.

Indeed only hours early my comments (all reasoned and factual I might add) were deleted on Chekov's site.

You might his reference to 'English' cities, rather than 'British' cities equally appalling.

Not to mention his historical revisionism that puts the leader of the RA in a bombing role in these English Cities just at the same time the Nazi's were bombing.

That is simply untrue.

The IRA delcared way on BRITAIn in January 1939, war was declared in Septembder 1939, by April 1939, Sean Russell was in the states, then Genoa and then berlin by 1940, dying on a submarine from stomach ulcers on his way back ot Ireland.

Chekov makes it sound like he was commanding a wolf pack mid Atlanticwhen the sub bought it.

I mean really, if he's going to lie to press home a unionist point, atleast do it convincingly and truthfully.
