Looking Ahead To Senedd Elections

Jac — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 08:00:46 +0000

In this piece I shall look towards the May 7 Senedd elections. Rather than delve into party manifestos, or expose the peccadillos of individual candidates, I’m adopting a broad brush approach. Impressions and perhaps even informed generalisations. Digressions guaranteed, but not without a touch of whimsy and a few doses of ironic humour. This offering …

Globalist Muppets Seek (Somebody Else’s) Land

Jac — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 09:00:50 +0000

Over the years I’ve written about people and organisations in Wales dreaming up problems and pushing agendas with you and I expected to fund their activities through a captured political class. In recent years, I’ve had to widen my horizons. Because it’s clear these shysters are now getting corporate funding from the USA and elsewhere. …

Follow The Money, To The Bank, And Beyond?

Jac — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 09:00:11 +0000

While I wait for more information promised on the Siddiqi gang, eHarley Street, and a raft of other companies, here’s a quickie I kind of stumbled upon after following the money trail when someone pointed me towards a piece in ‘Welsh Government’-funded Nation.Cymru. ◊ WHERE WE AT? We’re in Carmarthenshire, around Brechfa, between the A485, …

Wales Being Bought Up Acre By Acre

Jac — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 08:30:51 +0000

This piece was prompted by someone asking me if I’d read an article recently published on the Nation.Cymru website. I smiled to myself, and responded in the negative. But I went to the site anyway, and read ‘140 hectares of Welsh land purchased to restore woodland and nature habitat‘. Then one thing led to another, …

How Many Wind Farms Are Really Planned?

Jac — Sat, 08 Feb 2025 08:30:28 +0000

This is another ‘quickie’, which I’m putting out partly so people can be aware of what might be in the pipeline, and also to see if anyone out there can add a little meat to the bones. ◊ WHERE WE AT? As is my wont, I’ll start by showing you the area in question. It’s …

Do They Know Where The Money’s Coming From? Do They Care?

Jac — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 09:30:57 +0000

This ‘quickie’ is in response to a news item about 200m tall wind turbines planned for Mynydd Fforch-dwm, near the village of Tonmawr, east of Neath. Permission has been granted by the so-called ‘Welsh Government’ on the grounds that it’s a Development of National Significance. The bulk of this post will be taken up with …

How The Trump Revolution Will Affect Europe

Jac — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 08:30:58 +0000

What a week that was! President Trump’s executive orders exceeded my expectations. Everybody (and perhaps more so those on the left) now realises that what Trump has set in train will not be limited to the USA. After thoughts on what’s being achieved in the USA I’ll consider how the changes in the USA might …

Future Generations Deserve Better Than Net Zero

Jac — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 08:00:41 +0000

There’s a gathering of envirogrifters on February 4 at the Pierhead Building in Corruption Bay. Here’s an invitation from Daniel Lock of Nature Service Wales, a newish outfit and local branch of the scarcely older Food, Farming & Countryside Commission (FFCC). Reminding us that ‘environmentalism’ sees new groups spring up almost every day, proliferating like …

A Case Study In ‘Rewilding’

Jac — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 10:00:19 +0000

In a sense, this is a follow-up to last week’s offering, Budget Boost For Rewilders And Globalists. This week, I’m looking at an example of ‘rewilding’ which, on closer inspection, turns out to be a tourism business – receiving funding for posing as a rewilding project. I’ll fit this into a more general evaluation of …

Budget Boost For Rewilders And Globalists

Jac — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 08:00:04 +0000

This post is about a group I’ve mentioned before, Tir Natur. It’s not a big outfit, it was only launched in 2022. I’m writing about it again because my attention has been drawn to what might be a major development. Which coincides with the UK government’s decision to make most family farms liable for punitive …
