  What’s the point?  One Millionaire David Cameron is married to a millionaire. He earns a good salary. What point is he making by ‘celebrating’ with a Ryanair no frills trip? The only things that make flying bearable are the frills. Why the self-flagellation? Who is he trying to impress? Most people would regard [...]

  My pre-election expectations range from realism to pessimism. I anticipated the results of all my six General Election results except the last one in 2011 and the first one in 1987.  I could have lost both. Today's poll on the Assembly Election is an extraordinary one.  The only worthwhile analysis was [...]

  Part of the excitement of the coming Assembly Election result is the prospect of a fresh group of exciting new AMs. Until Monday I expected one of those to be Mari Rees. When I cheerfully answered the phone to Mari’s father my friend Caerleon Doctor Russell Rees on Monday I had [...]

  The Newport Chartists would have said ‘Yes’ to AV. It was in my constituency in 1839 that 20 Chartists were gunned down. They were marching for democracy. All the points of their Charter were achieved – except annual parliaments.  They were impassioned because of the gross injustices of the franchise of [...]

                     I am against the waste of money on the census. The government tells me they do not like it either, but it was too late to cancel it. They are  still going ahead spending more on sending it out and collecting it in. A picture of dumping the forms [...]

Why didn't I think of that? It was such a strange question that I had never given it a thought. Aled ap Dafydd asked me on the Welsh Politics Show today, 'Why did AV in Australia double the number of voters who spoil their ballot papers?.' I do not believe they [...]

   Where are the consoling voices of Friday?  It was ‘nuclear expert’ Malcolm Grimsom who cooed that nuclear safety was proved because only one reactor had problems in Japan. The following day he said that the first explosion may have been a good thing in some ways. Today the Army tried to dump water [...]

It was a bracing interview this morning with someone named Ian. A pal from campaigning days in the early 80s contacted me with the message ‘Just like old times’. In 1980 a small group of us met in Aberystwyth to establish the Welsh Anti-nuclear Alliance (WANA). This morning’s interviews on Radio [...]

Did they blow it up on purpose? The World Nuclear Freemasonry were in full spin today trying to minimise the powerful and very visible explosion at Fukushima. At one point Malcolm Grimson a creature of the nuclear establishment, came close to suggesting that the Japanese engineers had deliberately set off the [...]

The propaganda said that the Japanese nuclear reactors were the safest in the world. Today the cooling system on one reactor failed. Like all other japanese reactors it was designed to withstand serious earthquakes. It failed. Japanese authorities will release radioactive vapour into the atmosphere in a bid to prevent a [...]

  The truth is slowly emerging. The British House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee has found that the objective of achieving security for the United Kingdom was attained “some time ago”, as al-Qaida had been significantly weakened in Afghanistan; and that the British military presence in that country has far exceeded the [...]

  Wales has a 'parliament' with direct powers to enact its own laws for the first time for centuries. This is the fulfilment of a long held ambition I have had since first reading Welsh history as a child. In 1953 I joined a demonstration in Cardiff calling for a Welsh Parliament [...]

    An eerie silence from the farming  lobby hides a new denial of information. Not only are there no cuts in the sumptuous farm subsidies but they might even get a handsome increase in the 2.9% increase in EU payments. No-one is saying. There is media omerta on the worldwide increase in [...]
