Nobel prize – tick.
Politically blind economist ( as opposed to using false economics to promote a warped political ideology)- tick.
So the problem with Krugman is.. er.. what exactly ?

In reply to E Jenkins. To argue that many current SNP members will in future years be Labour politicians should be enough to have the police round your house to see what you're on, Billy boy.

This was the cobblers I was referring to:
“Indeed the SNP might very well serve as the training ground for the Labour MPs and MSPs of the future.”
You personify the hubris of the Labour Party.
“There is simply no enthusiasm for independence for Scotland.”
Well, just last year 45% voted for it. Since when does 45% constitute 0% ?
“Not in the foreseeable future”
I will be amazed if Scotland is not independent within 10 years.

Rev. Eli Jenkins (I assume it is you) quoted my prose (I’m almost flattered), but does not seem to disagree, There is simply no enthusiasm for independence for Scotland. It is not on the agenda, as numerous SMP MPs have told us. No doubt Scotland will ask for and receive extra powers, but independence is not being sought. Things could change in the future, but not in the foreseeable future.

You’re right about Plaid, they just haven’t moved on. You’d expect Leanne to have got more votes with her television exposure but it didn’t… if she mentions that bloody word “Austerity” again…..

Anyway, I stood in Islwyn for UKIP and came second, a great result for me personally and UKIP.

In reply to Bill Chapman.

“You are wrong to suggest in your third paragraph, that English people in Wales will not favour Plaid Cymru.”

The English as a whole will never support Welsh nationalism. The goal of Welsh nationalism is to knock them off their perch and to destroy English hegemony in Wales. We want to gain control of our institutions, to run the country in our interest. The English will be more than welcome here, providing they integrate on our terms and speak our languages (Cymraeg or Welsh English). We don’t have to put up with colonial attitudes. This is our land.

Sadly Plaid Cymru would rather be praised by a few English hippies than stand up for the Welsh nation!

Best to consider all of Bill’s comments with the proverbial pinch o’ salt. For example, how about this winner our Labour hack came out with recently:
This was the post on National Left:

“I don’t see a referendum on Scottish independence on the cards for a generation or two. There is simply no enthusiasm for it. Don’t forget that the Yes vote did not even reach 45% last time. There are new members in the SNP, it is true, before they drift back to Labour. Indeed the SNP might very well serve as the training ground for the Labour MPs and MSPs of the future.”

Chapman is a Labour activist from England resident in north Wales.

On a far, far more relevant note, what the hell has happened to the comments moderators on Daily Wales?
