I’m sure you’ll be keeping an eye on this for us, Brychan.

Yes, but it’s also operates as a fishing expedition on the Gwendraeth Fach. The catch being a huge grant/subsidy for a solar farm to be established between the town council offices and the river. The site in question is a haven for wildlife, but Labour councillors have started calling this ‘waste land’. The hook being used in this fishing exercise is the Gwendraeth Valley Energy Cooperative. The directors of Ynghyd are also directors of GVEC.

A previous fishing trip by the directors was made using “The Sustainable Energy Co-Operative” at Parc Slip in Tondu, a site run by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales. They already own a wetland site near Cydweli. I suspect they now want a chunk of the estuary and part of the quay to plant a turbine, a few solar panels and maybe farm some eco-tourism, the ‘hub’ being the pathetic PR exercise to ingratiate themselves with the town, buy off local politicians, and join the queue for energy grants.

From my enquiries into Ynghyd it exists for two main reasons:

1/ So the local white settler population can persuade itself that it’s serving the community.

2/ To provide photo opportunities for local Labour politicians.

This was in 2014.

We also see a video of Nikki Herbertson CEO of HOA2.eu who introduces herself by saying Ynghyd is difficult to pronounce. The videos were filmed at Parc y Scarlets and at Llanelly House as well was the “hub” in Cydweli.

What makes you think that Hao2.eu is connected to the Labour Party?
“Hao” is the Chinese work for good.

Strange as it seems, Mari Arthur the candidate imposed by the Plaid Cymru executive on the Llanelli constituency (against their expressed wishes) boasts a career history which includes “representing Wales in China” on behalf of the British government. Her own third sector outfit, Cynnal Cymru, also has done work on technology exchange in the third sector with China. Now, Llanelli Plaid has been suspended. So Mari Arthur is now establishing a ‘lower Gwendraeth branch’ of Plaid, herself as secretary. This will cover Cydweli where this ‘hub’ is seeking a base, and Trimsaran, where Mari has now settled.

Just could be a coincidence.

Yes. Evidently very much a Dic Siôn Dafydd (a sort of Chaim Rumkowski)

David Lewis went to London to learn and came back to weasel over the Welsh for the British Labour Party. Nothing wrong with a London stint as long as you return with skills to liberate rather than collaborate.

The kind of data exploitation and manipulation of evidence discussed in here also turns up in the Wales/UK bubble when dealing with fringe matters that suddenly become “very important” to some politicians and “opinion formers”.

Yes, it was Cneifiwr. It’s his patch.

That rings a bell, Brychan, I think Cneifiwr dealt with it. I may also have mentioned it. It should have been taken up with Gwalia/Pobl.

He once lived next door to a Plaid Cymru Councillor (now also EX) Dr Dewi Evans. Seemingly they got into a quarrel over the fence one day and Dr Dewi told David Lewis :- “David, your trouble is, you’ve been educated beyond your intelligence”. That is what your EX Labour ‘friends’ say David. Perhaps Dr Dewi could confirm this.
