Plaid Cymru’s ...

... Westminster leader Elfyn Llwyd said

"... water exports could be a valuable source of income, and said the Welsh and UK governments should ensure that future transfers from Wales to areas of England hit by water shortages result in extra funds for Wales."

... he also said:

"The population of the south-east is set to increase by 40% by the 2030s ...... there is going to be huge pressure."

... presumably he sees the little people of the south-east as fair game in his separatist agenda.

He does of course refer to the South-east that circles London that generates the surpluses that governments of all colours use to subsidise the economic deficits found elsewhere in Britain, the regions that need more money than they generate.

I wonder if this larger than life caricature of good British politics (Elfyn Llwyd) intends to include the £billions contributed by the south-east in his politics of division, will there be a discount for decades worth of contributions ?

... from Bangor to Bognor (with Alice possibly), ...

... an expression used this morning on the radio.

The expression wasn't ...

From Bangor to Bognor we need Wales water to drink.  

From Bangor to Bognor we need Wales power to survive the 21st century. 

From Bangor to Bognor we need to exploit someone ...

What I heard was an expression of inclusion.


On the other hand we have the separatist mentality that shouts aloud ...

This means that fighting for energy to be devolved to Wales .............. Surely that's a win-win situation for everybody in Wales ................. From [a] report yesterday, it looks like it won't be easy to win this responsibility in the face of an intransigent Westminster government that is much more concerned about Wales supplying electricity to England than Wales' own energy needs.

... you might read the complete post by the separatist MH here.

... a sad reflection on the introspective values of the nationalists in Wales.


Regarding power generation in Wales, if it were devolved I would suggest candles as a backup, because when the separatist sandal brigade got involved the Welsh Assembly Government would revert to the characters found in Alice's ( Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ) tea party along with the March Hare, the Hatter, and a sleeping Dormouse who remains asleep for most of the story, who in government might be the Dormouse I wonder ?
