I’m thinking of taking a summer break, but whether I do or not, I want to put this out; based on things I’ve understood for a while, but prompted by cases that have come to light over the past week.

FUTURE GENERATIONS COMMISSIONER
This job was created by the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. All Welsh legislation now must adhere to the guidelines laid down by this Act. I covered it recently in the second part of Things Are Never So Bad That They Can’t Get Worse.
A wee digression to explain how we got here.
The driving force behind Well-being, and the woman who claims to have authored its bible, is former Labour Assembly Member (for Pontypridd) Jane Davidson. Before taking up the post she’d created for herself, in 2007, Davidson had already damaged Welsh education with climate scam brainwashing and other nonsense.
Davidson was at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, organised by the UN, where the guidelines for ‘sustainable development’ were laid down. They placed the blame for “Climate Change, Desertification and Biodiversity Loss” at the door of Western nations.
This global crisis had to be tackled. When it was pointed out that developing nations were increasingly contributing to the problem it was argued that they must be allowed to catch up. As Google AI puts it:
. . . climate frameworks, like the UN Paris Agreement, operate on the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities”. This acknowledges that wealthier nations historically produced the majority of greenhouse gases and must take the lead in cutting them, while giving developing economies more time and leeway to transition out of poverty.
Developed nations paying for this ‘differentiation’ exposes that ‘saving the planet’ is just another form of occidentophobia, or “anti-Western sentiment, prejudice, or hostility toward Western culture, values, and institutions“.
But I’ve never understood why Davidson was in Rio. The Times Higher Education supplement says: “She entered politics in 1994 as a researcher for Labour MP Rhodri Morgan, later the assembly’s second secretary.”
She’s described that Rio trip as her Road to Damascus moment, when she was converted to the Green gospel, thereupon becoming an apostle. But if she was not already a convert in 1992, and not involved in politics, why was she in Rio at all?
Was she on holiday, and just popped in out of curiosity?
I believe Davidson was already involved in the climate scam; and came back from Rio with the blueprint for turning Wales into the wind turbine, solar panel, anti-farming, DEI, brainwashing kids, 20mph hell it’s become.
The first Future Generations Commissioner (FGC) was Labour insider, and at the time, deputy PCC for South Wales, Sophie Howe. Before that she’d been a Cardiff councillor and a special advisor to cabinets led by Labour first ministers Rhodri Morgan and Carwyn Jones.
She was succeeded in 2023 by Derek Walker, another Labour insider. He had a background in the TUC, trans lobbyists Stonewall, and in the 12 years before becoming FGC he’d been CEO of Cwmpas (formerly Wales Co-operative Development & Training Centre Limited), a “development agency for social enterprises and co-operatives”.
Latest accounts show income of almost £7 million, almost all of which came from the self-styled ‘Welsh Government’, and most of which went on salaries. Basically, another publicly-funded job creation scheme for Labour insiders and keffiyeh wearers.
Most people will never have heard of Cwmpas. Or the many similar outfits.
The reason I mention FGC Derek Walker is due to a report in BusinessNewsWales last week that began: “The Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Derek Walker, is announcing a review into energy policy and decision-making in Wales.”
I read it, and a few questions came into my head. Let me list them.
“Project Ynni is a new initiative“. OK. And how many other ‘initiatives’ are out there? How many ‘initiatives’ have come and gone? How much public money have they swallowed? What have they achieved?
Where does this man’s legitimacy come from? Who voted for him?
What business qualifications does he have, or what expertise in energy or climate studies?
We all know the answers. He’s a Labour time-server, given a job created solely to promote climate hysteria and control our behaviour.

THE EVILS OF PRIVATE TRANSPORT (OTHER THAN BIKES)
Another piece that caught my eye last week was a report about increased parking charges in Cardiff, a move that many believe will damage the city’s economy.
Quoted in the piece was Ruth Billingham of Living Streets, an anti-car pressure group that has a pass to all departments in Corruption Bay. I remembered Living Streets from its role in the imposition of 20mph speed limits.
Here she is again, in November 2024, with other pressure groups telling the ‘Welsh Government’ to push “active travel“. But the more people are forced to cycle, or walk, the fewer people there’ll be travelling anywhere.
Is there a lobby group for a nation-wide, cheap and reliable, public transport system?
Doing a little digging soon found that Ruth Billingham had for seven years, until May this year, been involved with Cynnal Cymru-Sustain Wales, which describes itself as “the leading sustainability charity for Wales“.
In reality, it’s just one of hundreds. And all costing us money.
Until March, Cynnal Cymru had been part of the group structure of Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA), though its status now is unclear. The WCVA is a body used by the ‘Welsh Government’ to disburse public funding.
Cynnal Cymru is based at Sbarc/Spark, part of a big Cardiff University complex on Maindy Road. Where we also find Cwmpas, which we just looked at, formerly headed by Derek Walker, now Future Generations Commissioner.
Sbarc claims to be . . .
Bringing academics and entrepreneurs together in a spirit of innovation, enterprise, and collaboration
We can see that it’s home to publicly-funded organisations, so I wonder how many genuine entrepreneurs can be found there?
I’ve always said that Cardiff University is almost an extension of the ‘Welsh Government’ and the Bay establishment; so we shouldn’t be surprised to see it provide a home to lobbyists and leftist groups reliant on the the public purse.

‘I JUST HEARD SOME BANTER – PASS THE SMELLING SALTS!’
Here’s how DEI is often implemented in Wales. The ‘Welsh Government’ will claim to have received reports or complaints about a certain organisation that warrant investigation. The ‘investigation’ will always conclude that changes are needed that can only be achieved by imposing a far-left Woke agenda.
One example would the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS). A ‘Culture Review’ was held into the Service, headed by “human rights” lawyer Fenella Morris KC.
The Report unearthed countless horrifying examples of cannibalism, human sacrifice, and officers wearing odd socks. I jest, of course. What was found was racism, misogyny, and “banter“. Yes, honestly, banter.
The pearl clutching continued by condemning legitimate opinions on immigration. Even “inappropriate behaviour outside of work”! But who gets to decide what’s legitimate and what’s inappropriate?
The report also criticised the Service for not ‘taking the knee’ for George Floyd. When I first saw that on social media I thought it was the kind of ‘misinformation’ against which I am ever alert.
So I found and downloaded the report, and there it is, on pages 121 and 122.
Think about that for a minute. Firemen in Merthyr Tudful were expected to take time off their duties to kneel for a career criminal who’d died from the drugs in his system, while being lawfully arrested, five thousand miles away.
Also, to show support for the fraud associated with Black Lives Matter (even in the UK!), sympathise with calls to Defund the Police (with whom the SWFRS work on a daily basis), and turn a blind eye to the murder, arson, and looting – always looting – that followed Floyd’s death.
Following publication of the Report Chief Fire Officer Huw Jakeway resigned and ‘Commissioners’ were installed by the ‘Welsh Government’. These included Kirsty Williams former Liberal Democrat Assembly Member for Brecon and Radnorshire.
Here’s Williams demanding “anti-racism” in schools. (She was Minister for Education 2016 – 2021.) It’s less than two minutes long. Go on, have a chortle! (But don’t let Fenella Morris catch you!)
It’s a word salad of highfalutin bollocks designed to undermine the self-worth of Welsh kids by making them feel guilty about evils dreamed up by their enemies.

WELSH RUGBY UNION
Another example of ‘Welsh Government’ enforcing the Woke agenda is the Welsh Rugby Union. Most people realise the WRU is now a shambles, but few understand how it came about.
Let me see if I can explain it with a timeline.
October 2021: In a BBC report from April 2025 it’s stated that:
In October 2021, a BBC investigation found that the Welsh government had adopted Stonewall’s interpretation of equality law in some of its policies, offering protections not provided for in law.
Hardly surprising seeing as the ‘Welsh Government’ was a major Stonewall funder.
“Early 2022”: Labour MP, and former Wales women’s rugby international, Tonia Antoniazzi, raised concerns with Dawn Bowden, ‘Welsh Government’ Deputy Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, about misogyny and sexism within the WRU.
September 7, 2022: It’s reported the WRU bans biological men from playing rugby against women and girls. For obvious reasons of safety and “in line with World Rugby guidance“.
September 23, 2022: The Sun reports Tonia Antoniazzi criticising the Scottish Rugby Union for allowing biological men to play against women and girls.
October 2022: Dawn Bowden, and Hannah Blythyn, Deputy Minister for Social Partnership (what that?), wrote to the WRU expressing “concern” about its ban on transgender women competing in female-only games. (Reported here March 2023.)
January 23, 2023: BBC Wales Investigates put out a 30-minute programme supporting allegations of “sexism, bullying and sexual harassment at the Welsh Rugby Union“.
January 28, 2023: It’s announced that Sport Wales – sponsored and largely funded by the ‘Welsh Government’ – has stepped in to “advise” the WRU.
January 29, 2023: Steve Phillips resigns as WRU chief executive.
February 2023: The WRU – under new management – set up a panel, chaired by Dame Anne Rafferty, to look into the allegations. This panel’s report is dated November 13, 2023.
Before the report is delivered the ‘Welsh Government’ takes advantage of the chaos it has created to appoint a new chair and CEO to the WRU. Around the same time ‘Welsh Government’ appointees also took over the Football Association of Wales (FAW). Both cases covered in this blog post.
January 3, 2024: It’s reported that Bowden has been ‘liking’ posts on X hostile to Antoniazzi.
April 16, 2025: UK Supreme Court rules that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex.
April 24, 2025: Back to the report I touched on earlier when, in the House of Commons, “Tonia Antoniazzi claimed that the Welsh government and some other institutions had previously been “captured” by LGBT charities promoting the idea that sex can be changed.” (Still held prisoner, Tonia.)
September 12, 2025: Sport Wales signs up to the Brighton plus Helsinki Declaration, which we’re told “supports the development of more fair and equal systems of sport and physical activity for women and girls“.
In Principle 1 of the Declaration we read a reference to “sexual orientation or identity“. Orientation I take to mean heterosexual or homosexual, but identity is almost certainly a reference to self-identification and trans ‘women’.
July 20, 2026: Nation.Cymru runs a piece headed ‘WRU signs international declaration on gender equality in sport‘. The piece quotes the Brighton plus Helsinki Declaration.
So what really happened?
My interpretation is that Tonia Antoniazzi and others raised legitimate concerns with the ‘Welsh Government’ about sexism, homophobia, and misogyny in Welsh rugby.
The Wokists in the Corruption Bay bubble seized on the opportunity to extend these complaints about the treatment of women to include trans ‘women’. Because, as we all know – “Trans women are women!“.
Sport Wales, the WRU, and perhaps other sporting bodies signing up to the Brighton plus Helsinki Declaration is an attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court decision of April last year.
All done in the name of promoting women’s sport. It’ll only take one woman to be injured by a 19-stone psycho calling himself Daisy to put women’s sport back decades.
The new Plaid Cymru administration needs to get a handle on this. Pronto!

CONCLUSION
What we’ve looked at here; net zero, the power of shadowy pressure groups, and the imposition of the Woke agenda, are part and parcel of something bigger designed to weaken and undermine the West.
We could add open borders, calls to empty the prisons, and other lunacies. Not because Marxists care about immigrants and criminals but because they appreciate the potential of such groups to damage societies, countries, and Western civilisation.
And we must confront the reality that those promoting Cultural Marxism have reached positions of power in countless organisations. With anyone trying to curb the spread of this poison paying the price.
And yet, it’s almost funny. Here’s an exchange in a House Oversight subcommittee hearing this week, in which Republican Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas questions the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History director Anthea Hartig.
He asks why her organisation lists politeness as a “defining characteristic of white supremacy culture“. The question is almost absurd. But nowhere nearly as absurd as promoting the idea that politeness is a form of racism – to be condemned.
You can see where this leads. If people stop being polite to each other, then arguments result, leading to conflict and violence, fractured societies. Which obviously serves the bigger agenda.
Treat yourself to another chortle with the marks by which ye shall know the beast that is white culture: the nuclear family, objectivity, planning ahead, etc. Basically, everything that has progressed humanity to where it is today.
It doesn’t matter whether you trace it back to the Frankfurt School or Antonio Gramsci, the Cultural Marxism threatening us believes that to bring down the evil capitalist West it must go for the foundations. To attack the beliefs, structures and realities that underpin the West.
These might be Christianity, the nuclear family, patriotism, freedom of speech, rejection of state over-reach, or believing that only women can have babies.
But what’s really funny is that those promoting Wokeness, those who indoctrinate our kids in school and university, may be stupid enough to genuinely believe they’re creating a better world in which they’ll have some leadership role.
When in reality they’ve become someone else’s useful idiots. For Cultural Marxism has for some time been funded and manipulated by individuals and corporate interests that want to own everything and control everybody.
If the Globalists succeed then those you’ve read about here might be dealt with in the same way Hitler dealt with the Brownshirts when they’d served their purpose.
Now that’ll definitely be worth a chortle or two!
