Weetabix, the reason I voted No ....

... by post in this referendum, I could add Shredded Wheat, Microsoft Office 2010, Blue Mountain Coffee and HP Sauce.


Why ?  ... because you get exactly what is said on the package.....

.... whereas with the referendum today, the purveyors of this particular product, the Labour Party - Plaid Cymru - Liberal Democrats, and the party I have voted for all my life the Conservatives, have all created a list of ingredients that are dishonest.

This particular table sauce was designed for a single dish, the dish of difference, with every new law created, whether it it how we install sprinklers or force the public to donate their organs to the politics of Wales, the need for a real border becomes imperative, how else can differences be applied.

So when Rachel Banner of True Wales spoke about the thin edge of the separation wedge, her only fault was in the way she presented this particular sauce, a dishonest proposition by the politicians and their interest groups of Wales.

This voter made up his mind many weeks ago when Assembly Member Wood presented the "tidying up exercise" lie and First Minister Jones told the electorate there was "extra money" if we voted with him, two small lies that tripped off the tongue with practised ease, what truths are hidden in the very small political print, "Separation".


There might just be time for a majority to send a message to the Cardiff Assembly that LIES are not wanted on this particular journey, vote No and give the politicians another decade to clean up their act.

Say No for Saint David ...

... that's bullshit of course, in this secular society it is generally the less than honest who call down the blessings of a saint, the sane amongst us call for integrity, the integrity of those we vote for to recognise an injustice and stand in public opposition.  I recognise another facet of dishonest political life, the dishonesty when politicians stifle debate, the banner call by the current dishonest cabal is the label ...

"anti-Welsh"

If you oppose an important issue you become labelled "anti-", the dishonest mantra of the dishonest debaters.

The Prof ... Dylan Jones-Evans ... writes about it in his blog, read it here, though he is writing about Martin Shipton’s new book “A Poor Man’s Parliament”.  The expression that struck home was the expression "the stories of incompetence, misadministration and bullying amongst our political classes during the last twelve years."  Sounds familiar to those that observe the politics at Cardiff Bay.

Whilst we have the bullying at the Assembly we cannot have honest debate, and by definition we do not have  democracy.  We have a autocracy.

To begin a process that would force the Welsh Assembly to become an honest chamber of debate free of the dishonesty described by Martin Shipton it is imperative the referendum returns a No vote.


On a different tack, I understand "Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas", but "Happy St David's Day" !

13 reasons to vote No .....

Would you buy a used car
from this particular mob ......


..... I didn't think so !




..... the one on the left is "avoid if you can", I understand she bites heads off any who might oppose her.  And 5th from the left will not tolerate any deviation from the "thoughts of Chairman Sargeant",  4th from the right has been noticeable by his silence these last few weeks, probably the safest option.

Once again, would you buy a used car from this particular mob ..... and they want extra powers .....

..... having a laugh aren't they

Poor Jack, eccentric perhaps, but ...

... his voice, his opinion, his observations, well they are suppressed by ... who knows.

The latest suppression related to a link to the Walesonline website, an article related to an IWA published document that is titled "Unique paths to devolution", no big deal, a paper by largely irrelevant people on a subject that is ...... irrelevant.

Poor Jack, poor electorate, poor Wales, where "freedom of expression" is suppressed because someone just doesn't like what was written, when in fact all Jack wrote were the two words ... "very interesting" .

BBC link to Jacks censored contribution, at comment 39.

The reason for the suppression is the document in question supports the slippery path to independence theory.

As heard on Dragons Eye last night, the nationalists of Wales need to grow up, their "isolationist pacamac mentality" is past its sell by date, freedom of expression is too valuable a commodity to leave in the lost property department of devolution.

Don't take my word for it, listen to what Ed ...

... Bridges has to say (Public Affairs Manager with the WRVS in Wales).

... he writes "the Welsh Government’s latest policy on social services is dealing with the symptoms rather than providing a long term answer for our problems".

Yet another example of shallow thinking, poor judgement, but don't take my word for it, read it all here.

... and remember Ed's words ...

The trick which the Welsh Government missed in the White Paper – alongside a conspicuous lack of funding to back up its ambitions – is how social services users with the most intensive needs can be helped through early, low-level interventions. To have done so would have produced a more radical agenda as well as being more cost-efficient and harnessing the power of partner organisations that can help deliver those services effectively.

The problem for the Welsh Assembly Government it is Ed's ideas are a little too close to the "Big Society" of David Cameron. ........ poor electorate, poor Wales !

... mustn't forget, the Welsh Assembly Government wants you to give them more powers .... when they can't get the important things right, the ideas that is .....

There is no one more reformed than ...

... an ex-smoker, so when I read the BBC headlines Welsh Assembly Government's 'smoke-free society' aim, I was intrigued .... it sounded good.

I wanted to read more, find out what their plans were, could I help in any way ?

The link from the BBC to the plan was the first step, it's only 47 pages try it for yourself, so I downloaded the document and 2 hours later after reading over lunch, a long lunch, I felt both optimistic and a cheated.

Optimism came at page 11, it had a vision, 3 parts, each part I could sign up to and then some ....

... after the vision came the platitudes of the political stocking filler, do you remember the chocolate Santa, brightly covered with red and silver paper with that smooth chocolate loved by children, but one bite and a hollow centre, "continue to support" "action plans" "ensure ... embedded ... planning", when it got to "WAG will work with ..." came the realisation the document was a "fart" from politicians and their staff with a lot of time on their hands, but with so little vision as to be handicapped, ........ poor electorate, poor Wales !

... memories of the stocking filler ...


There is a positive in the document, it invites views and comments by 18 May 2011, have I got something to say that might help the vision .......

Peter Hain say's ...

... just listen to Carwyn, I taught him everything I know ...

... honesty, integrity, no ambiguity, what you see is what you get ...

... then I came upon the image above ...

... the unexpected, can we believe anything we are told by a politician, or doctor for that matter !
