					<description><![CDATA[Jac - really sorry to hear about your Mam, please accept the condolences of someone who has followed your blog for some time.

Please don&#039;t stay away for too long - you have a provided an eclectic  forum for debate and have had the fortitude to say what the majority of us know to be true. For as long as we are made to feel strangers in our own land we will need a voice. For as long as we have to watch as our children are priced out of our communities we will need a voice. For as long as we are asked not to speak our own language in the workplace or in a store we will need a voice. 

We are sadly witness to the accelerated &quot;Cornwallification of Cymru. The systematic destruction of our home and the degrading of our culture to level of &#039;local colour&#039;. We will soon become a region of strange accents / customs and of curious &#039;locals&#039; that is the wet-dream of the tourist &#039;industry&#039; that benefits our long-term guests only. Who has the balls to stop this? The truth is that the majority of our AMs are intellectually not up to the job and seem more concerned about their own interests rather than that of our nation. When reading the latter part of your blog, I felt a similar pang of sadness as I did after reading RST&#039;s &quot;Reservoirs&quot; for the first time. I am also reminded that RST lays the blame for our sorry state squarely on our own shoulders. We seem to care too much of what those with the sharp elbows think of us...

Diolch Jac,

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://jacothenorth.net/blog/taking-a-break/#comment-575&quot;&gt;Don&lt;/a&gt;.

Don, you&#039;ve been called a few names on here, but what no one has mentioned is that you&#039;re a TOTAL arse-hole.

It takes a hayena to go in for the kill when the prey is down. You are a disgrace - I personally wouldn&#039;t piss on you or your types if I saw you on fire. 

You have the cheek to say Jac is bigoted &#038; bitter and then you come up with a comment like that at exactly the wrong time - sorry - you&#039;re not an arse-hole - you&#039;re a SUPER ARSE-HOLE. Now fuck off back to the sewer you just crawled out of..]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Jac my heartfelt sympathies &#038; condolences. Chin up ffrind. Silver linings and all that.

You probably DO need a break. It&#039;s tough for you at the moment, Time will heal. 

I&#039;ll miss you whilst you&#039;re gone, but fully understand the way you probably feel at the moment - I&#039;ve gone through similar periods like that myself, You have to come up for air sometimes &#038; look around you so as to take an audit of your life. You&#039;ll feel better for it.

Thanks for the mention, it&#039;s been a pleasure setting up this blog for you - don&#039;t stay away too long, otherwise you&#039;ll forget everything you&#039;ve learnt in that little &quot;back office&quot;!!!

PS I&#039;m in full agreement with you (for a change) on your evaluation of &#039;yesterday&#039;, &#039;today&#039; &#038; &#039;tomorrow&#039; a good and accurate assesment I echo the exact same sentiments. It IS depressing but a reality I fear - I came to that conclusion eleven years ago.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Losing a parent is a major event, please accept my sympathy.
I don&#039;t always agree with you, Jac, but your blog has been a great source of reflection and entertainment. You go where few dare to tread and do so with a style and lightness of touch that no-one in the Welsh blogosphere can match. Enjoy the sabbatical.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Condolences on the loss of your mother Jac

As others have said leave the blog live, you might feel like coming back to it in six months or a year – I lose interest in blogging and Welsh politics at regular intervals and now blog as the mood takes me.

Vanity publishing or not you’ve had a bigger impact than most bloggers and you represent a strand of Welsh public opinion that isn’t main stream, it would be a shame to lose that voice even if I don’t always agree with you.]]></description>
