Perhaps more people should watch this interview whether you agree with her views or not.

Thanks for posting that Hagler fight, Big Gee. I’d forgotten quite how bad some of the crowd behaved that night. Disgusting spectacle. I’d not forgotten what a great fighter Hagler was though. For me one of the greatest middleweights ever, if not the greatest. Never tire of seeing him.

It is not just the Christian heritage that is shamed by this kind of behaviour.

The synagogue in the Thomastown area of Merthyr Tydfil, the only one in the world that has Y Ddraig Goch on the front gable, is to be renovated by the Foundation for Jewish Heritage which includes an application for funding by the Pen y Cymoedd Community Fund (fund from the Vattenfall wind farm). The chief executive of this community fund is also treasurer of Plaid Cymru.

His name is Marc Phillips and tweets under the alias of bertwyn.

This man has also published offensive tweets directed at Jac o the North. In this case the abuse was in the form of “Neanderthal Prick’. It might not be wise for such an eminent individual to make references to sub-spices of human as a derogatory slur in his attempt to throw insults over social media. It does not reflect the religious and cultural diversity of Wales, and such references induces great sadness in the Jewish community.

Perhaps Jac can supply a screenshot.

The statue needn’t be a realistic image of a woman but must get across the courage defiance etc of Gwenllian.

Realistic statues seem to me to be very Victorian.
A statue that gets people thinking and allows those looking on it to imagine themselves enacting the role without the barrier of precise facial or historic detail is in my view a much better option.

Really we need to consider what result we want from the Cymry when we look at a statue ( and hopefully more will be put up).
Fascination in the accuracy of the details or inspiration from the attitude conveyed.

I suspect not.

I’m sorry to say this -but it’s a very poor reflection on the younger generation who are so consumed by this ‘identity politics’ craze.

One can’t help thinking that losing the glue of Christianity in Wales has played its part in all this current madness playing out around us.

Ok, so Christianity hasn’t been all sweetness and light over the centuries, even here in Wales:but it did provide a foundation for society, a common reference point for all.

Even people who didn’t actually attend church in the very recent past were ‘Christian’ in outlook and even practice in many respects.

But now, a younger generation have been completely uprooted from this grounding tradition.

They seem to be flailing around for any old tosh to provide meaning for their lives.

Another nice analogy Dai!

Or, if you tend towards another school of thought, smiling up at you.

There’s a lot of it about.

Women are always turning my mate down because he is pig ugly. How’s that for prejudice?
