Plaid Cymru – Party Of Nowhere

Jac — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 10:00:15 +0000

I’ve been meaning to write this, or something like it, for some time. So, with the Senedd elections roughly three months away, now seems as good a time as any. In some ways I suppose this is an update to a piece I put out in February 2019, back when I was young, handsome, and …

New Party, Fresh Start 2

CHANGE OF VENUE TO CATER FOR GREAT RESPONSE The response to the original post, put up last Wednesday, has been excellent.

Plaid Cymru, Going Nowhere, by Design

Jac — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 19:00:55 +0000

As regular readers will know, I have been having problems from the Wales Eye blog and the Western Mail / Wales Online, they’ve been misrepresenting what they find in my blog and, when that isn’t enough, they’ve just told blatant lies. The story of my relationship with Wales Eye unfolds, chronologically, in the following posts: …

Now I KNOW I’m Doing Something Right!

Jac — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 16:57:30 +0000

As you might guess, this (originally short) post is a follow-up to my previous one, I Must Be Doing Something Right. It seems that Phil Parry at Wales Eye and Martin Shipton at Llais y Sais just won’t let go . . . though their persistence is not to be compared to slavering pit bulls, …
