Unfortunately McEvoy is a one man self publicist shoutung so loud at everyone abd everything, nobody is listening anymore. He also keeps calling the race card, which is hilarious considering my granny’s family from Llanpumpsaint were blacker than him. Gwlad have no hope. Plaid are pooches obsessed with woke issues rather than the real ones.

That is a huge piece of pessimism which outdoes even my darkest prognosis. That Plaid is a lame duck is amply evident but reducing themselves to a single seat in a dud Coalition is utterly lacking in any self respect, absolutely shameful. However I suspect you have got it just right, so a vote for Gwlad or WNP is essential to show that the nation still has a beating heart.

Plaid are already cosying up for a coalition. Proof is glaring over the past weeks where in any Welsh news items involving an interview with a Plaid Cymru Politician it is blatant by their lack of criticism in any form against Welsh Labour. So it simply means a vote for Plaid is to become a vote for Welsh Labour. So why vote Plaid in the next Assembly elections? If Welsh Labour need a Coalition, Plaid will negotiate a Cabinet seat and a little bit of selected Policy on issues concerning their Tokenism and Gesturing and Green items that coincide with Lesley Griffiths’ future vision for rural Wales. It is likely their one Cabinet seat will go to a Plaid woman and Adam Price, once side stepped, will go on to do lecture tours and leave Cardiff Bay. Hopefully Plaid could negotiate one good thing – getting rid of Lord Dafydd Elis Thomas from the Welsh political scene altogether. Electors might as well vote Welsh Labour or be bold and vote for Gwlad or McEvoy’s WNP.

Labour will definitely not have a working majority and the Lib Dems could be wiped out. It will be a Labour-Plaid Cymru coalition and both parties are preparing for it.

Labour could have a working majority, or team up with 1 or 2 Lib Dems and ignore Plaid’s wailing and gnashing of teeth ! That is a dark prospect but the prospect of Plaid teaming up with Labour is no better. Nightmares all round !

Where John is wrong is in saying that after May’s elections Plaid Cymru will be in opposition. It will be in coalition.

Plaid’s promotion of wishful thinking politics dressed up as ambition is a big deception.

And do they give a fuck ? As long as those City boys are given a free rein to fill their boots the Westminster government will be quite relaxed. No intention whatsoever of enabling the entire (UK) country to benefit from their so-called progress. Good reason to secede. Does anyone need any more ? Flowery rhetoric about “do good” fantasies will not deliver the goods either.

In Sweden there are specific grants and tax relief for companies who do renewable energy as long as the firm is domiciled in Sweden. There is a scheme operated by Tillväxtverket, the body that covers economic growth, a bit like what the WDA used to do, and also Vinnova, the innovation agency, which is specific to R&D and directly funds technician apprentices through the payroll mechanism for Swedish nationals.

It is for this reason any enterprise domiciled in Wales does not stand a chance of owning and developing renewable energy projects, a competitive disadvantage and probably a reason why Vattenfall is the leading company in this sector in Wales. The UK government sees this as inward investment but for Wales that equates to extraction of returns and skills. It is not a new design of expropriation; the British with the East India Company, a colonial entity that operated in the same way, invented it.

Devolution allows this to take place.
Only independence or absorption can remove it.

There are linear coke ovens at Port Talbot which converts coking coal to coke which is used in the charge to the blast furnaces. In a letter dated 29th January 2021 from Lord Deben the Chairman of the Climate Change Committee at Westminster to Robert Jenrick MP the Secretary of State for planning in England we see the statement.

“The decision to award planning permission to 2049 will commit the UK to emissions from coking coal, for which there may be no domestic use after 2035.”

The UK government, in its argument against the planning consent of a coal mine in Cumbria makes the assumption that Port Talbot steelworks along with its plating works at Trostre will close in the near future. The Welsh Government know this, but are hiding it.
