I wish I didn’t have to write this, but it needed to be written. Not least because it highlights how Globalism, through the capture of leftists and their organisations, like Plaid Cymru, promotes its agenda.

GLOBALISM, SUMMARY
Globalism is very wealthy families and individuals, supranational bodies and major corporations that hope to benefit from an undemocratic form of world government that imposes censorship and other controls on the population at large.
They target the West because, for obvious reasons, China, Russia, India and other big players are beyond their control. Though China is perhaps the inspiration. In that it’s the perfect combination of a one-party political system and almost unfettered capitalism.
To help enforce its agenda, by weakening the West economically, Globalism has for decades used an invented climate crisis demanding net zero and other costly sacrifices. Also, and certainly since 2016 – Brexit and Trump’s election – open borders.
Immigration is needed partly to replace the working class support lost by leftist parties. And also to justify censorship and creeping authoritarianism through a two-tier policing and justice system deemed essential to combat “racism” and the “far-right“.
To help them achieve The New World Order Globalists recruited Marxism and Islam. These have been co-opted because they share a desire to destroy the West. Which then explains the alliance between them we see today.
The obstacles to the Globalists’ ambitions are freedom of speech, family, private property, people’s pride in national identity, cultural homogeneity, social cohesion, Christianity, and any other focus of loyalty or affection.
These must all be vilified.
Globalism is further facilitated by ‘the long march through the institutions’ (© ‘Red’ Rudi Dutschke) defended and protected by Globalist control of the ‘legacy’ media.
Globalism often employs bribery or kompromat. More likely to be the latter with many politicians, certainly the current UK prime minister.
Though the tactic of capture is not without humour. Perhaps the funniest example is The Green Party, which used to be about saving the whale; now it’s open borders, trans rights, and the crusade against Islamophobia.
Watching these clowns is now more entertaining than anything put out as ‘comedy’ by the BBC.

THE MIND READERS OF WRECSAM
My attention was drawn to this issue by a piece in the Western Mail on Monday. I don’t think I was aware of the matter before this; but after reading the article I naturally got curious.
It seems to link – or certainly that’s the allegation made – with a planned hostel for ‘refugees’ or illegal migrants in Rhosllanerchrugog, famous for its male voice choir, and memorably described by Harri Webb when the Cross Foxes ran dry.
The council objected, and the plan was dropped. This was all back in January. It’s claimed this episode led to Welsh flags being put up around the city. Certainly, that’s what’s alleged in a petition launched May 18. Here it is: Remove illegally placed banners from lampposts in Wrexham.
The wording of the petition is fascinating, and worrying. Let’s begin with the opening paragraph.
Recently, our beloved community in Wrexham has been under siege by a wave of illegally placed banners and flags that have appeared on lampposts and other public fixtures. These banners, adorned with national symbols, have been commandeered by right-wing agitators and racists, turning what should be a representation of pride and unity into tools of fear and intimidation.
Wrecsam “Under siege“! Banners “Adorned with national symbols“. No, it’s our national flag. And it’s a dragon. But then comes the assumption that these flags have been “commandeered by right-wing agitators and racists“.
But if they were “commandeered“, then who put them up in the first place?
And if a flag is “a representation of . . . unity“, then surely it doesn’t matter who put them up. Rally ’round the flag, boys!
The clear message here is that the Welsh national flag – our flag – is only acceptable when it’s flown by people approved of by whoever worded the petition. That is, leftists.
The second paragraph reads:
The situation is particularly distressing for our vulnerable immigrant communities, who feel targeted and alienated by these divisive displays. The right of every citizen to feel safe and welcome in their own neighbourhood is fundamental, yet this basic right is being undermined by a few with harmful agendas.
Why are the immigrant communities “vulnerable“? Are they under attack from the same marauding horde that’s put the whole city “under siege“? After diligently searching, but failing to find le mot juste, I’ll dismiss this claim as hyperbolic bullshit. Where’s my violin?
Though I agree that every citizen should feel safe in their own neighbourhood. But if the allegations made are true, and the flags link with the property in Rhos, then doesn’t the indigenous population also have a right to feel safe?
Or are natives of Wrecsam concerned about such hostels, and the threats they pose, automatically “right-wing agitators and racists“?
Why shouldn’t they be concerned? For as we know, there’s far more likelihood of a local being attacked by an immigrant than there is of a migrant being beheaded by Tyrone from Caia Park.
The change.org website gives the “petition starter” as ‘Lower the Flags Wrexham’. But who’s behind it?
Someone named in the article I linked to at the top, and a number of other reports, is Iolanda Banu Viegas. Originally from Mozambique, and a Portuguese citizen. I suspect she’s involved.
Iolanda was a Plaid Cymru candidate in 2017, and again in 2022. She’s also the Regional Coordinator and TSPC representative for North Wales / Community Support Officer for North & East Wales in Race Council Cymru. A body that relies heavily on ‘Welsh Government’ funding.
She was also involved with Black History Wales. That rather desperate exercise that tried to make us believe a few black individuals scattered here and there, over centuries, amounted to a distinct historical narrative.
Inevitably, perhaps, she was involved with BLM, mourning and celebrating the drug overdosed career criminal George Floyd.
Clearly, Ms Viegas has something of an obsession with race. And it seems she rarely misses a chance to tell us Welsh what racists we are.
But at the end of the day, what is a flag? First and foremost, it’s a form of identification. It says: ‘This is who I am, this is where I belong, this is my country’. Whereas raising a flag, or removing one, is symbolic of resistance, change, even conquest.
I know that. And so do those wanting to take down my flag.
I can’t help but compare this flags farrago to a certain demographic objecting to people having dogs.
◊
THE LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS
I mentioned this in the first part, and now I’m going to explore it a wee bit more. Perhaps I first became aware of it back in 2021, with the capture of the independence movement YesCymru by people wanting to subvert that group into a bullhorn for the Woke agenda. (Covered extensively on this blog.)
By ‘Woke agenda’ I mean the climate scam, trans rights, DEI, CRT, and all the rest mentioned earlier. And there’s always something new, a new minority, a fresh evil to be combatted. These are ever changing in order to confuse.
The takeover of YesCymru was noticeable because of the speed and the manner of it. But it had already happened to Plaid Cymru. And to Welsh language bodies from nursery group Mudiad Meithrin to the Urdd and the National Eisteddfod.
When I looked into it I was even given names of individuals whose poison-spreading paths could be traced from one group to another. With the message backed up by the threat of ‘Welsh Government’ funding being withheld from any body not falling into line.
Another example of Plaid Cymru and Labour working hand in glove.
For many of the intellectual lightweights pushing the Woke mind virus it’s a case of seeing how much they can get away with before the adults in the room tell them enough is enough.
Just look at the class clown smirk on the face of new Plaid Senedd Member Sarah Rees. Read the article. Sarah Rees was of course involved in the YesCymru fiasco.
Meanwhile, up in the House of Commons, Plaid’s four MPs voted to oppose single-sex spaces for women. Cos it would be transphobic.
Despite all the pre-election promises about the economy, education, the NHS, infrastructure, etc, Plaid’s priority seems to be figuring out a way to ignore the Supreme Court’s decision that sex is biological.
And why did South Wales Police put out an instruction to its officers that they should record non-crime “instances of anti-Muslim hostility“?
After a letter from the Shadow Minister for Equalities Claire Coutinho SWP has agreed to withdraw this ‘guidance’. But why issue it in the first place? The answer is that senior ranks of the police service – and the Police College – have been captured.

CONCLUSION
The broad church Plaid Cymru was when I joined in the 1960s is long dead. The drift to the left began in the 1980s under the leadership of Dafydd Elis Thomas then, under Antifa-supporting Leanne Wood, we saw a moderate, almost reasonable kind of socialism, degenerate into the name-calling and label-attaching silliness of Wokery.
But it mustn’t be dismissed lightly because the fuss over flags in Wrecsam is simply a bigger production scaled down for a local stage. We’ve seen Antifa and other fanatics burn flags in the USA; or it’s councils in England tearing down Union flags or St George crosses because the permanently offended claim to feel ‘unsafe’ or ‘threatened’.
Now it’s come to Wales.
Remember that the council rejected the plan for the Rhos hostel in January, and the plan was dropped. That should have been the end of it. But in mid-May a petition was launched claiming the Welsh flags flying in Wrecsam were linked with the hostel, they were intimidating minorities, and they should be removed.
Does that make sense?
No, but it fits into the bigger picture of the ideological capture of Plaid Cymru. Plaid now promotes the idea that only people on the left care about Wales. Or, perhaps more worryingly, that only leftists are allowed to care about Wales.
Plaid has set itself up as the arbiter of who can, and who can’t, fly our national flag.
Thus delegitimising the views of anyone to the right of centre. Even someone like myself; who’s always defended Wales, Welsh identity, and always wanted independence.
This can only be explained by realising that Plaid Cymru is a hollowed-out sham. It claims to want ‘independence’ – in order to give it away by rejoining the European Union, submitting to the United Nations . . . and the Globalist agenda.
That agenda includes the ending of borders and the erasure of national identities.
Submit to this insanity in Wrecsam and those behind it will be emboldened. They’ll be able to claim that any Welsh flag, anywhere in the country, is the work of racists and the far-right, offensive to somebody or other, and demand it be taken down.
Because that is the bigger agenda to which Plaid Cymru has submitted. Oblivious to the irony, the contradiction, in preaching that Wales is open to all – but only certain people are allowed to fly the flag.
How long now before Owain Glyndŵr is ‘re-evaluated’? For a start, he was far too white. Those who followed him were not diverse. Then there was the fighting, clearly a case of toxic masculinity. And he was obviously straight – all those kids!
◊
FINAL WORD
It’s been strange writing this because when I joined Plaid Cymru we were struggling to get Y Ddraig Goch flown on public buildings and elsewhere. Now that same party is campaigning to have our national flag removed.
Let me say to anyone who’s arrived in Wales, from Mozambique or Manchester . . . If you find my flag objectionable, or if you feel “targeted and alienated” by it, you really should ask yourself whether Wales is the place for you.
But any attempt to tell me I can’t fly MY flag in MY country because my wider political stance doesn’t align with that of Woke activists will get a crisp, two-word response.
And the second word will be “off!“.

A bit off topic but relevant in a broader sense :
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/06/10/miliband-defies-starmer-over-cuts-to-fund-defence/?WT.mc_id=e_DM957813&WT.tsrc=email&etype=Edi_FTE_New_Reg&utmsource=email&utm_medium=Edi_FTE_New_Reg20260611&utm_campaign=DM957813
The leadership deficit or vacuum at the top of UK Gov is vividly evident when you see Starmer baulking at the chance to fire the foaming twat Milliband. Instead he foregoes the chance to clip him and divert big dollops of funding to defence or any other priority of his choice. No he elects to stick with the most toxic member of his Cabinet. Then just when a thought that Burnham would make a big difference enters my skull I learn that in all probability on arriving at No.10 the “Lord of the North” would appoint mad Milliband as his Chancellor!
They’re all puppets.
This presentation by Kathryn Porter should give them something to think about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUR62JhthuY
A lot of it went over my head, but still worrying.
Thanks for that. Much of the electronics and electrical engineering was at a level beyond my ability to absorb but I got the essential drift. I’m not surprised that a ruling elite at UK and devolved levels have not engaged with this kind of information. Bozos steeped in social studies, assorted law specialisms and other disciplines that seldom deal in precise quantities and physical rules run for cover when confronted with this kind of stuff or dismiss it as being of little or no relevance. To matters worse our rulers tend to draw their advice from others who have little no depth of practical understanding although a minority with knowledge elect to tailor their advice to suit the tune played by the piper.
Yes, a TV debate between Kathryn Porter and Ed Miliband would be entertaining. It’s not going to happen of course.
same has happened sinn Fein and their recent statement following the attempted beheading of an Irish man by an illegal migrants.
Interesting but this time I am going to disagree with you about Wrexham which is the home of multiple HMOs and the place you refer to is at Gwersyllt…not Rhos…was a former care home. Its now got plans to change it into a hotel or B&B which will mean it will end up with asylum seekers…lol…there are ways! or it will end up as half way houses or as a temporary accommodation for people who for various reasons need accommodation. Drugs are rife in the UK and Wrexham is no exception. Its a University town and recently the Halls of Residence were pulled down to make way for Private Housing within the University complex. Students cant get accommodation as the new UK Law is putting Landlords into difficult situations with new legal requirement for evictions. There are designated businesses who currently bring people in from “overseas” and get their visas sorted out to work in the care homes and also sort out accomodation in HMOs. The Council in many cases object to these HMOs but the Welsh Govt PEDW over rules the Council every time with a bog standard same old written objection over ruled..and the only way to complain is via pay it yourself in Court…thats a joke.. Yes, there was a rant when the Welsh Flag was removed from the flag poles…outside Wrexham Footie stadium..thats where they were placed…Anything that happens in Wrexham or is said in the media, social media or otherwise is to be taken with a huge pinch of salt…its Wrexham and is what it is and always will be an area that has had its roots in Labour since it began. Currently it now has 6 MS..2 reform, 2 Plaid, 1 labour and 1 Conservative…which one do you go to? lol..priceless. Freedom of Speech has been dying for years. In Trumps wonderful US its almost gone and we in the UK are catching up slowly. As you said Plaid is a hollowed out sham…but it always was and now with a leader, Mr Jones, a complete fake.
Yes, you are probably close to the mark, again Jac! Paid Cymru has been infiltrated by the woke antifa blob, for sure. But there are a few within Plaid’s core that do have common sense.
My take on all this needless trashing of Wales with woke wind turbines; solar panels; battery boxes and pylons, is the entry price for Wales to become a member of the EU. To pay homage to their master in Brussels, New Plaid are willing to sacrifice their own country, that they claim to represent.
Trashing Wales is Plaids ticket to ride.
There’s no question that Plaid has been infiltrated and captured. And if there are any sensible people left then they’ve been sidelined and silenced.
My hope for Plaid is Llyr Huws Griffidd. I wished he would have made more of an effort to denounce the pathetic title for his post as agri secretary.And suspent, for a month or two that stupid SFS…to sort it out, as he said he would. Then more farmers – like myself – would may have joined. But I’m happy to give him a chance. However, I’m gradually becoming more disappointed, as time goes on with Llyr. Because after listening to his interview, just now with Ifan Jones Evans, on the radio, well, my hope for him is dwindling like a lump of ice on a hot summers day!
You aren’t the only one who still has some faith in Llyr. But as I pointed out in an earlier piece; he talked the talk when he represented the North Wales Region, lots of farmers. Now he represents a much more urban constituency.
The underlying theme in that Bay regime is that farmers and rural affairs in general must come a distant second, or further back, to the greening (net zero) of our cities. Thus wind turbines and solar arrays will crop up everywhere, even on the fringes of national parks when the madness really sets in.
Food production? Oh, we’ll get the old mantra about “resilience” of food supplies, less food miles and sundry other bollox trotted out by these adherents of various green gospels but in reality they don’t give a shit if your chicken comes from Thailand, China or Brazil and your beef is jacked up with hormones from USA or anywhere else. They just want your land boyo and will apply any old make believe bullshit to justify their plans.
That may well be true, Dafis. Then the good people of Wales will need to make more of a noise, and hold em to account, the dirty rotten scoundrels!
Llyr Huws Griffidd (as you spell it) is Plaid Cymru Minister for RURAL Affairs etc in the new Wales Government. He has submitted an Official letter to PEDW as an “Intrested Person” to the Lluest y Gwynt erratic Wind Turbines proposed for the unspoilt Cambrian Mountains. This proposal by a foreign Scandinavian Developer is outside the strategic search areas – enough reason itself to OBJECT. Did Minister Llyr Huws Griffidd (as you spell it) object? Like hell – he wrote a mealy mouthed letter which was accepting it for approval. Plaid Cymru as a Party in Government are now far more committed to destroying Cymru Fach than even Milliband is. We are on the brink of total destruction and devastation to supply electricity to the cities east of Offa’s Dyke.
By the way – are you the Eifion Thomas who stood for Plaid Cymru in Lllwchwr many decades ago that I walked the streets canvassing for you?
Why not give your full name? I was in Plaid Cymru then. It was a totally different Party then to what it is now. It is now choked with wokey trendies!
More than one Eifion in Sir Gar! Quite a few Ioan’s about too.
Unsanctioned flag-hanging in public spaces is a bastard nuisance, creating mess, excessive, strident prostitution of our cherished symbols, and risk of accidents when the flags eventually fall or their hangers do so in the act. That is to say nothing of the inevitable desecration of our national emblem two months hence when it’s barely still hanging on as a forlorn, bird-shitted scrap.
Furthermore, how many doing the hanging are not doing so not as an act of good faith and celebration, and are simply oafish agitators following a herd. A more extreme example for comparison is those troglodytes rioting in Belfast this week – they are solving nothing by burning Glider buses, legitimate though their grievances may be.
However, any wokeist or common-or-garden whinger who feels put out by the mere presence of our national symbols, regardless of context, can indeed undertake to exercise your own polite request you close this entry with.
This is not really about flags. This is about pushing a certain agenda. And a vital element of that agenda is the erasure of national identities.
The arrogance of suggesting that my flag in my country can be taken down because someone disapproves of whoever put it up is the thin end of the wedge. It ends with silencing anyone who disagree with those who’ve set themselves up as the ones to decide what’s permissible. In fact, we may be already there.
This is totalitarianism. Hiding behind ‘diversity’, ‘trans rights’, fighting ‘racism’, saving the planet, and all the other lies.
We’re approaching a crunch. And people will have to decide whether they’re prepared to line up with those they wouldn’t ordinarily agree with, or stay schtum and allow the WEF and the rest to take full control from the shadows.
It’s getting harder and harder to deny that these edicts are not designed from the ground up to piss people off enormously for some sinister motive. They’re on about taking Churchill off the 5 pound note now, for the usual bollocks reasons. Granted he was in no way an unchequered figure, but at the very least as a symbol he persists as a powerful and revered one.
Probably emanates from the same batshit school of thought that declared outdoor dogwalking spaces to be racist. What more cherished cultural tenets are there on this island than the idea of, and sacrifices made in, facing down The Third Reich, and taking the family pooch for his walkies?
These decisions only appear to be ground up.
Mixed metaphors! I didn’t mean ‘ground up’ in the ‘grass roots’ sense, as a contrast to ‘from on high’. I meant in the sense of a well thought-out plan, very deliberately plotted from the start, down to the finest details, by said same denizens of ‘on high’.
That’s it.
Imo sadly no one will really do anything because its all about how life effects me! and only me attitude that we now have.Its always not what you know but who you know.
Having lived outside Antrim in 1981-3 at that time there were no Asian or Chinese restaurants in NI. Reason they were seen as spies working for the Br Govt lol. You really cant compare NI to the rest of the UK. You still have 2 distinct education systems and need I say more. The streets in certain areas are painted curbs red white and blue and the Union Flag flies on houses and no one would dare tell u to remove it…tis what it is. But if you allow the culture of Wales to be slowly eroded by the ingress of migrants with totally different cultures, and values in some cases its also tb expected. We need to get off our backsides and work and not expect others to do the jobs we dont want to do…sitting on production lines and working in care-homes…jobs we see as being beneath us. Decades ago we had Irish nurses bearing the brunt of the jobs in the NHS and also Oz and NZ nurses came here to train. Then we joined the EU and it all went wrong…and so it goes…but before we apportion blame we really need to take a good hard look at ourselves. The negative impact of Social Media is getting very obvious regarding ourselves and our children and we are reverting back to a Middle Ages mentality of burn em at the stake..that may be a very ott statement but there is an element of truth in it…we live in a world where its not out fault, my fault, its someone elses. No responsibility and total lack of education.
I’ve been to Northern Ireland three times and have visited all six of its cities, most recently last month when I took a trip taking in Newry, Armagh, Lisburn and Bangor. All quite handsome places apart from Lisburn which struck me as a bit nondescript. I’ve seen what you describe with the pavements and the flags, murals etc, nonetheless.
We’ve had almost half a century of Thatcher and Reagan’s creed of individualism declared as orthodoxy and you expect any different than a culture of ‘I’m alright Jac’ (sorry!).
As regards jobs that indigenous see as ‘beneath’ themselves, I will heartedly grant you there are a great many fine, caring, hardworking people doing sterling work in care homes.
My brother is in one and it’s staffed with myriad nationalities and ethnicities, many of whom my family has relied on for this most sacred of delegations and trust placed. There’s a Filipino woman in particular who has I’d argue become more of an aunt to him than any blood one, hands down.
However it is a complex problem where indigenous will always be undercut by people who will bear grim conditions and meagre wages on the promise of sticking it out for a couple of years to live like a king back home. Additionally people from the poorest parts of the world will not baulk at slumming it in the ghastliest HMOs you can imagine.
Does that mean we’re spoilt? It’s a philosophical question I suppose. But when there is no such impetus based on conditions back home, nor any serious carrot that you can push through to chomp off the dangling line in front, how can anyone from here enter into such a workplace with any sort of gusto in comparison?
Food for thought! 1820 different world thank goodness but this depicts poverty and the punishment that people today could not imagine. And Im alright Jac was a good film. It highlighted the rise of the Unions in the work place and the beginning of better rights for people in work in factorys.
GLOBALISM and Cymru Fach – something I have previously posted on Jac’s Blog – I repeat part of it here as currently relevant :-
The UN Agenda 2030 is a global action plan adopted by all 195 United Nations member states to eradicate poverty, combat inequalities, and protect the planet.
Wales is not a UN member state. I wish it had a voice there.
The UN Agenda 2030 is a core mission is to achieve sustainable prosperity for all while ensuring that “no one is left behind” by the target year.
This ‘Agenda 2030’ has many set goals for its member states.
Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy.
Goal 13: Climate Action – Urgent action against climate change.
The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 195 Parties at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, France, on 12 December 2015. It entered into force on 4 November 2016. Currently, as of 27 January 2026 recently, there are 194 Parties to the globalist Paris Agreement.
This is the core of the UK Government’s ‘Milliband’ obsessive drive for net zero. Now pursued by Plaid Cymru wokists trying to outdo Milliband’s net zero carbon excessives.
The Wales Government, under Labour until the recent Senedd Election, and now under Plaid Cymru, is fully committed to this globalism of overarching rule from the UN.
The problem we have in Wales today is the over compliance of successive politicians in Wales Government, including Plaid Cymru today. Plaid Cymru has the grand delusion of Cymru Fach becoming the world leader in combatting global climate change. They are trying to do this in accepting far more of its share of landscape desecration by Wind Turbines and Pylons and huge complexes of giant Lithium Batteries to allow the UK as a whole, which is in reality England, by size and population, to achieve the UN targets and UN goals set.
Wales has no voice on the United Nations so we are are suffering on behalf of England. Wales Government has set up devolved planning legislation to favour all this vandalism of scenic little Wales even on the Cambrian Mountains outside preferred zones. Now Plaid Cymru’s Wales Government postures in delusion as being the global leader in averting world climate change. Plaid Cymru needs to stand up square to the Westminster Government, and Milliband, and say not in our backyard. Put these gigantic carbuncles where they are needed alongside the big cities east of Offa’s Dyke – generate the energy where it’s needed, not in the back yard of our wondrous Cambrian Mountains.
Finally – before Jonathan Dean answers me (he is often quoted as a CPRW spokesman) – go out in a leaky coracle Jonathan to the distant Celtic Sea to talk your beloved windy bilge in deep water.
If the UN Agenda 2030 project is a sham, and causing all sorts of problems, why do you want Wales to be a member of this discredited body?
Well said Jac.
Interesting article published by UK Column in 2016.
https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/welsh-assembly-dictatorship-masquerading-democracy
For those who do not have the time to read the article in its entirety, the final paragraphs sum up the situation nicely in my view.
I shall definitely read that. Will also put it out on X. Just noticed it’s 10 years old.
Too true, we’ve been living with this shadow lurking over us for 10+ years. It hasn’t done anything really tangible to boost “Well-being” yet the fat cat salaries and relentless production of bullshit continue with not much chance of anything being axed.
Now we have a new regime but wedded to the old way of doing things while the Opposition, also new, is already reported to be in a state of flux with possible defections to Restore among other prospects. All of this suggests that the Reform “group” ain’t up to the job of challenging and derailing Plaid’s mission unless they get a firm grip and stop the schoolyard nonsense. Comes to something if we rely on ARTD to up the tackle rate at question time.
Lithium batteries are not the way ahead. Too expensive there are options and these options are being looked at. Milliband needs reigning in because its all or nothing attitude with him. North Sea Oil and Gas is not the answer if we were to start drilling again as its not infinite source of energy. We really need to get our act together and plan ahead but politicians dont want to because all they are interested in is their own personal agenda, keeping their jobs so say anything to shut us up. Ah the CPRW I have an article about my mother as Chair of the CPRW at a time when it meant something because it wasnt about NIMBYism then but about preserving our environment in real time. Job no 1 is to get the National Grid up to spec because atm its not fit for purpose so until you do that you may as well whistle Dixie as the saying goes. Incidentally I agree totally with what you say. EVs is a joke as you cant charge them unless you live on a housing estate with off road parking. Millions live in terraced properties. How do they charge them?. On poles extending from the upstairs bedrooms lol…Its all well and good saying clean energy but its got to be provided first and on and on it goes…Oh and my husbands friend does have a Coracle lol. Ive spent the last 5 years trying to sort out my neighbours, 30 somethings. They are not bad neighbours but totally clueless as to the fact that if you dont maintain your property it will have issues. If you dont know that the hole in your ceiling upstairs is the hatch to your loft and you dont realise that the dip in the ceiling is your lead valley and so you get cowboys in who say its the valley..lol…water doesnt travel 6ft upwards…enough said…
Close up drone photos are now being put on Community Facebooks of Wind Turbine blades on older Wind Turbines showing how the massive blades are beginning to dangerouly crack with age which could lead to drastic hazards, There are numerous web sites showing the regularity of these hazardous events of fires and fragmention.

In mad Ed’s brave new world we will be living with wall to wall batteries! Although the battery factories may not last long. Check out this bit of news
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/major-flood-relief-channel-near-gigafactory-site-could-be-improved/ar-AA25F5RL?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=6a2fe7f8b7604502946dacd3339affe1&ei=15.
On the face of it the article is about the need for some “refreshing” of the main Drain out of the Somerset levels to enable that area to cope with flooding. Sat adjacent is the site for the TATA gigafactory ( not giggle factory!) aimed at cornering a chunk of the market for batteries in UK and beyond. Filling that site with periodic flood waters does not figure in anyone’s plans although the level of risk may have increased over recent years due to intensified rainfall patterns. Some of a more traditional “green” persuasion may object to excessive dredging of these waterways just to accommodate a money grabbing corporate entity.
Well, its all about money as we know, always was and will be. Sadly its brains we seem to be lacking to do the joined up thinking…but maybe AI will come to the rescue and do that for us..lol…Ive been watching For All Mankind on Apple TV binged it…v interesting in a way as it deals with what if scenario if Russia had been the first on the moon, and various politicians like Nixon were never impeached and we had actually carried on with the Space Race and colonised the Moon and Mars…Yes, of course its a drama Scifi series but its been v good and also very bad lol…but its been entertaining in an odd way. I see Trumps banned non US citizens from accessing the new AI tech. The Guardian is running a story how Trumps stopped Anthropic being accessed my non American citizens…so we will see where this one takes us…talking of freedom of speech or lack of it…Of course we could always use the flood water to cool the data centre..!!
If your second word is “off” I think I’ve worked out what the first word is !! Am I even allowed to say that in a world where everything we say is monitored by big brother.
I may not have a Welsh flag at my home but I do have a Welsh dragon sign. Image attached.
You have correctly guessed the first word. Your prize is in the post! And I like the sign.
The image you used to represent globalism reminds me of the 2019 G7 photograph shown here. Strange how it was taken from a very unusual angle (compare previous years).
Then we must compare how it looks like the virus (global problem) that was used to accelerate aspects of the 2030 agenda.
Whether the real virus, or any old virus actually looks like that is debatable, although I accept that it makes for an effective portrayal of a threatening bug, bit like those old marine mines!.
Reverting to our particular nasty virus at the heart of today’s article. Being self-effacing, even deprecating, is one thing but allowing a huge measure of self hatred into the social and political mindset is another big step towards any kind of assimilation, dilution or even eradication. Nation of Sanctuary, a daft feeble concept in our present subordinated predicament, becomes Nation without Identity, a spineless gutless floppy carcass. There again maybe that is what we have become led into the path of slow self destruction by people with no real sense of belonging but with a huge mission to erase those things that made us that little bit different. Reminds me in some ways of Roman Catholic and other Christian sects “introducing” defeated Native American tribes to the virtues of civilization. Seems like nothing changes.
Years ago on ebay in 2008 I sold an item to a man in Canada as a present for his wife. He is a famous Cree Artist whose paintings hang in the Govt offices in Canada. His work depicts the plight of his people who suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church. Its a priviledge to know him. Today I msg him about the NI riots..he didnt know! My point is we are all being fed. I get the NY Times on line for 50p a week..its interesting to see what is reported there and not here..the blessed Welsh govt need to start to look after the health of ppl in Wales..that should be their priority..but!
Perhaps it suggests there are always others above them, pulling their strings.
