Thank you for that insightful contribution. My editorial team will spend the weekend discussing and analysing it.

English man moves to wales. Produces product that supports Welsh industry and gives profit to good causes? By the way profit means money made after costs. The business is an open book so have a look at their accounts, (log on to his Xero account because it’s there for doubters like you) see how much “money” he’s making…..I’d estimate about 50p a bottle and then fuck off to noddy noddy land and let the people that want to make a difference do their thing 😘

Plaid Cymru has been captured by the globalists. That is why it is so important to keep tuned-in to Jac’s blog for a proper explanation of events. After years of mismanagement by the Labour party, Plaid Cymru is proving to be such a disappointment. They have time to turn things around but I am not holding my breath.

The audience in the hall revealed the mood of the real Plaid Cymru, issues like saving the planet, Gaza, asylum and the EU got the biggest applause.

There’s a contradiction in claiming Wales needs to be independent to be richer whilst holding out a bigger begging bowl to London.

I’ll be controversial and say John Redwood had a vision that was more likely to bring about a successful independent Wales than Plaid.

But that’s the thinking now of Plaid Cymru, YesCymru and a host of others. Caring about Wales – can’t call it ‘patriotism’ – belongs exclusively to people on the left.

I should have mentioned he was attacking reform but also the right in general.

Much of the speech was remarkably similar to the one made by Zac Polanski moments earlier.

So only unhinged lefties wanting open borders are patriotic?

That has nothing to do with globalism as far as I’m concerned. Renewables is one way of addressing some aspects of climate change, but not the only one, and needs doing irrespective of “globalists” just like we did with acid rain and holes in the ozone layer

I’ve yet to see whether Plaid are enthusiastic. Until the new energy strategy comes out later this year people are just making sweeping assumptions

The feeding frenzy was instigated by Labour, and so far Plaid have just delayed and delayed

You term them “erratic” quite frequently, but so what? As long as the grid can manage the variation it’s irrelevant. We currently get masses of our electricity from wind turbines but the supply to our homes is never erratic

It would be wonderful if climate change didn’t exist, but it does, and it would be wonderful if we didn’t have to use renewables, but they are cheaper than the alternatives. That’s life

I have read Great Expectations at school, but that was set in the olden days, in London, and was clearly from a time long gone

I have been in many rough pubs in Salford and Manchester but don’t recall talking to the locals. And it was the 1980’s so I don’t think anyone had jobs
