And they’ve since been through to the other side and submitted for the crucial Jac approval so I guess all is well!

Alright well my dummy entries to this multi-tiered mini-thread are getting a “comment awaiting moderation” message so perhaps it was me not allowing the page to refresh or something before.

I can’t find any problem and nobody else has reported anything. Let me know if it persists.

With the comment replies disappearing or perhaps not being delivered at all? Have any fellow-commenters had similar problems? Probably best not to hit reply to this comment in response, haha.

That about sums it up, and if anybody tries to breathe life into the ‘corpse’ – e.g. Wigley, McEvoy – then he pays the price.

Some time, maybe years ago, in an exchange with Gwilym we spun out the phrase “corpse in our armchair” as it was better than dog in the manger to describe Plaid’s self appointed role as the party for independence. Nothing’s changed since other than maybe it’s even worse.

Someone in a comment earlier described Plaid Cymru as a ‘controlled opposition’. A party designed to give a certain impression but ultimately designed to never really fulfil that role.

That’s a subversive 5th column that guys like Hitler and Stalin would have admired. Trust the British establishment to be good at something utterly negative.
