Happy Christmas to all those who’ve supported this blog through another year. And may next year be good for you. I suspect 2026 could be a big year, both in Wales and the world. So buckle up!
My priority for 2026 is to persuade those who are clearly deserting Labour that Plaid Cymru is the wrong option. To make people understand that if Labour is the frying pan, then Plaid Cymru is the fire.
Plaid is now so off the wall with its Wokeism that it makes the most indoctrinated student sound rational; while its anti-white racism outdoes BLM, and its anti-Western rhetoric would gain approval from the maddest of mad mullahs.
While the party’s attacks on ‘ethno-nationalism’ undermine its raison d’être.
Plaid is at the point where, compared to the lunacies uttered by Liz Saville-Roberts, Sioned Williams and others, the old-fashioned Marxist wittering we get from Leanne Wood sounds almost coherent.
The message: Anyone who thinks Plaid Cymru would be an improvement on Labour in any way needs to be introduced to reality. Starting January 2nd.

We feel bullied by a bigger nation. It is like in the schoolyard.’ – Denmark’s former prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt says the US is intimidating her country with its threats to seize Greenland. She ought to get her husband to sort out the “bully” then I remembered who he is. No feckin’ chance!

Once again, the Jac has risen! As mad Maggie once said “rejoice, rejoice!”
After a very trying week I think I’m finally there!
Welcome back Jac.
Thanks. But I’m not sure how it happened.
Welcome back!Thought that the all seeing eye had choked off your site.
The problem was that everything was being done through an intermediary who cannot be contacted. When the hosting contract expired the blog went down because I couldn’t prove it was my site. That’s resolved now with a new hosting service. Now I’m struggling to convince a different company, where the domain name is registered, that it’s my site. Slowly getting there. But the blog may go off again for a while.
Nadolig Llawen Jac. 🎅🎄🥳I look forward to your commentary in 2026….especially around May! Cheers
Same to you, Alison. And I’ll have plenty to say.
Fully agree Jack, Wales has been held back by labour and Plaid. I hope for a much better 2026. Merry Christmas
And the same to you.
Totally agree re your thoughts on Plaid Cymru, The days of Gwynfor Evans are long gone. Wales needs to face the fact that the last 26 years we have gone backwards. Wales needs big changes to have future.
BTW I see its been announced…hubby just told me that they have raised the threshold on tax on farmers and sme;s to over 2million…Reeves didnt announce it…so real kick in the teeth for Rachel from Accounts…
So true have a great christmas and hope to hear plenty from you in the New Year
The same to you. And I’ll do my best.
All the best to you too Jac…maybe we need Trump…lol…joking!!!
Sorry rushed it out last night…the spirit of an 80 year old (last week)
A yuletide greeting to all and keep on plugging Jac it is making a difference!
Oh, and Nadolig Llawen i ti, Jac!
‘Bout time you got round to it! And the same to you.
I’m guessing you’ll instruct voters of a small-c bent to vote for Gwlad, but who should the leftists vote for? Let’s face it, they’re not going away nor are they ripe for conversion in these highly polarised times, where it seems everyone and their mother picks a side and holds fast on every sodding issue.
The left is moving towards Greens, Lib Dems, and in Wales, Plaid Cymru. Since Plaid dropped thoughts of independence there’s little difference between any of them.
Plaid has thoughts about independence along the lines of “how much further can we boot this irritating idea into even longer grass”. Especially now they are able to elevate a token woman to the Upper House. Good place for the inner circle to retire on a nice little earner to top up Senedd pension and other perks from likes of Bute.
That’s about it. Don’t frighten our new supporters.
The futility of all those years, decades even, of arguing with others of all stripes that Plaid would be good for us especially having secured the Assembly > Senedd as a stepping stone to some even bigger things.
And what did we get? This soppy wet cluster of ishoo driven cliques all trying to shout the loudest about some defect or other in our present condition yet failing to campaign for that platform which would have given them real power to delivery remedies. Of course, now we see what they are really made of I say we have been fortunate not to have been subjected to their regime of duffers for even one term. It’s a shame that Gwlad are not yet at a sufficient stage of growth as they already show a maturity absent from Plaid for far too long.
As I keep saying . . .
Devolution is the end of the line for Plaid and the Crachach. Thousands and thousands of jobs and sinecures demanding no positive results, endless opportunities for virtue signalling – and it’s all paid for by London! With the added advantage that when the plebs do start complaining – they can blame London!
Independence, having to actually run a country, with no one else to blame, terrifies them. (And the thought of them in charge of an independent Wales terrifies me too.)
I have tried talking to Plaid for two years now and each time I do they get further removed from reality and deeper involved in corruption and filth.
Totally lost the plot and up to their necks in back room deals with Bute Energy!
Firmly part of the ‘uniparty’ now I am afraid.
Ah Plaid…the old Welsh Nationalists who cant see further than their own noses and bank accounts!!…always was and always will be with fake Welsh names made up to impress the “Nationalists”…I am not a Nationalist…as I have said never was and never will be that doesnt mean I am not proud to be Welsh…thats Patriotism…different…Politics…well thats a game as always and it wont change because we are what we are by human nature..
High hopes…. followed by the failure to inspire
Echoes in Glass: The Senedd and the Silence of Promise. It was meant to be a turning point.
The Senedd rose from Cardiff Bay with high ideals etched into its architecture—transparency, accountability, a voice for Wales. Glass walls to reflect the people. Open chambers to echo their concerns. A building that breathed democracy.
But somewhere between blueprint and reality, the pulse faded.
Today, the Senedd stands as a monument to promise, but a mausoleum of potential. It governs, yes. But does it inspire? Does it stir the soul of a nation that has always fought to be heard? We were told this would be our voice. What we got was an echo.
Despite its powers over the economy, health, education, and culture, the Senedd has struggled to ignite public imagination. Voter turnout limps. Legislative ambition stalls. And the chamber that was meant to resonate with the people often whispers in policy-speak, cautious and distant.
Despite its vocal presence, Plaid Cymru has never held a majority in the Senedd. Critics argue its disproportionate influence—especially in shaping cultural and language policy—and doesn’t reflect the broader will of the Welsh electorate. Party loyalty trumps public service, and where scrutiny is drowned out by spin. This is not a call for cynicism. It is a call for courage. For honest dialogue. For a Wales that dares to demand better. Bevan didn’t build the NHS to serve a party. He built it to serve a people.” The Chartist march to Newport wasn’t for independence—it was for representation, dignity, and the right to dissent.”
REFORM UK WALES is calling for a new kind of engagement—one that challenges the Senedd to live up to its founding ideals. Through visual storytelling, public dialogue, and unapologetic critique, we aim to reignite the fire that once burned in Welsh civic life.

Actually, among the demands of the Gwent Chartists who marched on Newport was a ‘Silurian Republic’.
I have somewhere a small book it’s from a Bard in my old Town Pontypool and called ‘Songs of Siluria’ I must look for it?
I think the attached cartoon should be sent to all so-called politicians in Wales.
Have a well-earned break over the Christmas period Jac to recharge the [EV] battery !!
Too true. Unfortunately.

Is it not just one of Jac’s recent entries pasted in wholesale with a few extra images and a different layout, without any attribution?
Very colourful. Though a few lines are repeated. And American spellings!
And it’s always best to just give a link rather than try to write out the web address. https://www.peoplesvoicecymru.com/the-truth-behind-the-assination-of-kennedy
Best wishes for 2026 Jac. If there were anything meaningful or genuine that I could nominate you for, in this day & age, – I would.
Afraid you just have to put up with being super-respected (I used to think “super was too modern but it in in dairies of the 1930s – the one thing we learn from history……..) and very much admired for your diligent pursuit of the charlatans, rouges, hypocrites and, Im afraid to say, idiots that populate the malevolent governing elites these days.
Good luck with addressing the mass delusion that is supporting Plaid Cymru as an “alternative” to the Labour Party “maligocracy”.
As ever – thank you for all that you and the tyrchod daear do for us. So much appreciated.
Thank you, Kris. Have a lovely holiday.
Agreed!
And a very Happy Christmas to those of us not woke-doctrinated and especially to you Jac.
Thank you, Tessa. And the same to you and yours.
Plaid are now on the same level as the mad ravings of the green party who not so long ago were all above compost toilets, wildlife protection and reduced population but are now all about open borders unlimited migration and taxing the hell out of everyone. Look forward to your articles in 2026. Merry Christmas 🎄
The Greens have got worse and so have Plaid. Have a good holiday.
Wildlife protection and reduced population get the thumbs up from me. The message of protecting our planet and its resources has unfortunately got sullied due to the grifters and the approaches taken.
The problem you face is that falling birthrates in the ‘developed’ world will lead inevitably to reduced populations. The rising populations are in Africa and the Middle East. You try arguing for reduced population levels in these regions and you’ll immediately be branded a ‘racist’ and an ‘Islamophobe’.
Which exposes the hypocrisy of the whole ‘reduce population’ argument. For it’s used to justify third world immigration. And these immigrants are encouraged, even funded, to have large families. Even to be polygamous.
Thereby proving that the Globalist-Woke-Left is only interested in reducing the numbers of Europeans and European-descended peoples.
This makes them the lying bastards I’ve always known them to be.
I imagine you refer to the child benefit system with regard to the encouragement to have lots of children; in fairness this is an issue with our own homegrown scroungers too of course. I’m not aware of any incentives towards polygamy though?
If any within the GWL axis are earnest in their beliefs and not in on the grift for personal gain, they could probably be termed do-gooders, right-on, apologists or even moral relativists. I sometimes wonder how far the ‘you have to respect their culture’ moral relativism can be stretched. I mean, are there any out there wacky enough to endorse some of the objectively barbaric cultural practices like FGM, honour killings or cannibalism?
I’m not suggesting that polygamy is officially endorsed, but I believe it is tolerated out of fear of being accused of Islamophobia.
They are now a globalist party unrecognisable from their small society, green policies of before and have allowed the Islamists to infiltrate all in the name of diversity. You never hear them speak of nature conservation issues if they did they would be against wind turbines which are killing birds and bats in large numbers which the RSPB have spoken about. They are now a far left party predicted to do quite well in next years council elections if labour allow them to go ahead.
The Greens have always been a bit ‘odd’. But in the past it was harmless eccentricities. Now they’ve gone full Globalist-Woke-Left, as if they’re in a competition with Labour, Plaid and Lib Dems. ‘Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the barmiest of us all?‘
