I hadn’t planned this, but I read something yesterday in the Globalists’ Welsh mouthpiece that got me digging, and one thing led to another.
But I suppose the real story is that the fundamental scam of the ‘climate crisis’ has spawned a host of lies and con jobs that can only justify themselves through our continuing acceptance of that foundational scam.
If you’ve got a spare 90 minutes, watch this video. If not, push on.
This is only a quickie, so let’s get started . . .
◊
LET’S HAVE A CONFERENCE!
Here’s the article that provided the inspiration for this unplanned piece. It appeared on page 16. And it contains an insulting amount of patronising drivel.
Wales must do this . . . and that . . . to generate ‘clean’ power for “four million homes” (in Wales?), and “5,000 jobs in the process“.
What the article makes clear is that the parasites currently exploiting and despoiling Wales are rubbing their hands in expectation of an even easier route to riches with the self-styled ‘Welsh Government’ set to introduce Significant Infrastructure Projects (SIPs) “as a one-stop shop for approvals“.
What this will mean in practice is that local democracy becomes even less relevant and the views of people affected by wind, solar and associated ‘developments’ can be over-ridden.
And then, given that the ‘Welsh Government’ is only following orders from above, that means there’s a complete absence of democracy in the whole process.
But our political class is spineless and brainwashed, which is why politicians rock themselves to sleep at night, thumb in mouth, chanting, “Destroying Wales to save the planet, destroying Wales . . . “.
The offending – and offensive – article was penned by Rebecca Ives-Rose, “a director with Freshwater, on planning for a clean energy future in Wales“. In Wales, but not for Wales.
Her approach to SIPs, and much else, is summed up with:
Faster decisions are especially vital for the energy sector, where investors need confidence that projects can move from concept to delivery without endless delay. Wales cannot afford to lag behind as other countries race to expand their renewable energy capacity.
Actually, Wales can afford to “lag behind“. Because we already produce more electricity than we consume.
And of course, “endless delay” is a reference to annoying little people complaining because their lives and livelihoods are about to be blighted. Cheeky buggers!
So who is Rebecca Ives-Rose, a woman with the authority to speak to and for Wales; and who or what is Freshwater?
According to her Linkedin profile (saved here in pdf) Rebecca may not even work in Wales. For it suggests she’s in London town with the Waterfront Conference Company. So where does Freshwater fit in?
Stick with me.
There is a company called Freshwater, with offices in Cardiff and London. The two capitals from which Wales is screwed. It seems to be a PR outfit that employs ‘creatives’, to organise presentations and conferences, put out press releases, etc.
At first attempt, I found nothing registered with Companies House under that name.
It was only by following one of those listed as a leading Freshwater director, John Haydn Evans, that I found the Waterfront Conference Company, which of course is where Rebecca Ives-Rose’s Linkedin took us.
And it must be right because both Freshwater and Waterfront Conference Company use the same Cardiff address, Hodge House. Though that address is not mentioned on the website, only on the Companies House entry.
Then I thought to myself, “Hang on, Jones! Hodge House rings a bell, who else do we know at that address?”
Yes, it’s our old friends from Bonnie Scotland – the Bute gang!
Small world, innit?
◊
HOW DO THE PIECES FIT?
I decided to stick with John Haydn Evans and see where he took me, because I was surprised by the absence of corporate form for Freshwater. Was it just a trading name? Well, maybe, maybe not.
Evans has been involved with many companies, and if you scroll down the list you’ll see that most were under the ‘Freshwater’ banner. The only ones still standing, apparently, are Freshwater UK Ltd, with six outstanding charges going back over 20 years; and Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd, with one charge.
Both use the Hodge House address. And filings for both show losses in the most recent accounts.
Interestingly, Freshwater UK Ltd claims both Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd and The Waterfront Conference Company Ltd as subsidiaries. Suggesting the key to progress lies with Freshwater UK Ltd.
The next job was to track down who actually owns this parent company. And the answer is, Raglan House Holdings Ltd. Which also uses the Hodge House address.
Another document I found confirms that Raglan House Holdings Ltd took over Freshwater at the beginning of 2019.
So who’s behind Raglan House?
The answer to that is David Matthew Rustin Howell, through Hillco Investments (UK) Ltd. As the latest accounts tell us he has a number of other investments.
And although the clip above suggests Hillco owns just 39.62% of the shares a majority is assured by further shares held by family members and the Howell Pension Fund. See shareholders here.
Among the shareholders you’ll also see, ‘DBW FM Ltd’ – Development Bank of Wales. Does anyone recognise any of the other names?
UPDATE 08.10.2025: I’m told one of the shareholders, Clive Haswell (133797 Ordinary) was chair of Cardiff North Labour party, suspended 2021, resigned 2023. This the same guy? He was also involved in the Banc Cambria scam with Plaid’s Mark Hooper, who’s now a Penarth councillor.
The Howell-Daly clan owns Hillco Investments (UK) Ltd, and by that route they own Raglan House Holdings Ltd, which owns Freshwater UK Ltd, with Freshwater UK Ltd owning Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd and the Waterfront Conference Company Ltd.
Getting further and further away from Wales all the time. And the subject matter. (Slaps self on wrist.)
◊
CONCLUSION
OK, so on Tuesday October 7, a conference is being organised by a company ultimately owned by some guy and his family living in Bedfordshire. A conference exploring new and better ways to exploit our country.
Though I can’t tell you where the conference is to be held, because Rebecca Ives-Rose doesn’t tell us. Presumably it’s invitation only. Then again, maybe nobody’ll know the venue until half an hour before it starts.
When it’ll be done with a text message; or maybe some shifty-looking bugger shuffles up to you, looks over his shoulder, before going, “Psst . . . “, then slips a piece of paper into your hand that tells you where to go.
Those were the days!
Though we know that the company arranging this conference, and associated outfits, all share an address with Bute Energy.
Which could of course be pure coincidence. Or not, as the case may be.
But it doesn’t end there. For Rebecca also tells us:
Later this autumn, Waterfront Conference Company will hold its Planning for Infrastructure in Wales 2025 event. That forum will dive into the detail of the new planning regime, offering insight into how the changes will affect developers, investors and local authorities.
Taken together, these changes signal a moment of reckoning. Wales has the natural resources, the talent and expertise to lead on clean energy. The question now is whether we can design the planning and infrastructure to match our ambition.
I love the way it ends with “our ambition“. Really! My ambition is to expose the climate scam and remove the justification for these insane and inefficient turbines. Most people’s ambition is not to have one anywhere near them.
Clearly, Rebecca is here confusing ambition with greed. The greed of those who’ll be at the conference, and the one next month. The greed of interlopers seeking to exploit our country with the connivance of a captured or brainwashed political class.
I regard you all with contempt.
It’s bad enough having to put up with Bute, RWE, Foresight, Vattenfall, Coriolis and the rest, but this little piece you’ve just read reminds us there’s also the professional liars shilling for these ‘developers’.
I earlier used the term ‘parasites’, which might have been a wee bit harsh. For you may genuinely believe that wind turbines and solar panels are necessary to combat an encroaching climate catastrophe, to save the polar bears, etc.
But if so, then I’m not sure stupidity, or gullibility, is a big improvement on avarice.
For those of you attending today’s conference – ‘Have a nice day, y’all!’.
Because the days are getting shorter.

Ioan Richard sent me this Western Mail report today. Here is my reply to him and several others in Wales who are interested in this burning issue.
It is , of course, Nov 1st…..All Saints Day !! There are precious few of those in Cardiff Bay!!
Diolch, Ioan.
I’ve not been to town to pick up my Western Mail yet, so I’ve not read her article.
However, there is an obvious truth here and it’s provided by the UK wind energy graphs for 2024 and 2025 that are there for the world to see on Gridwatch.co.uk.
I’m truly mystified why I am the only person quoting these evidential factual graphs.
Not only are they being ignored by both Press and politicians……..but they are also being ignored by the several mathematicians and physicists in receipt of my emails.
Why is this?
How on Earth can UK wind energy power a nation of 70 million people ……..looking at those graphs?
I’d like the mathematicians to please explain!
Are political allegiances and power more important than absolutely clear scientific facts ….to bona fide scientists , ?? That would be plain dishonesty !!
Why is no-one responding to documented, scientific ,factual graphs please ???
If anyone thinks that BESS battery storage will even out the huge “dips” in those graphs, they need to study the facts, once more.
Check out the total UK BESS battery storage once more. It is puny !!! On a typical mild winter’s day, the UK is using 47000MW without promised millions of future electric cars.
So the total UK battery storage electricity would be used up in a few hours ……….and without wind and sun on a calm winter’s day…….there would be absolutely nothing to top up the BESS batteries afterwards!
What then?? Where would all our UK electricity come from?
Does anyone want to debate that crucial point? I would welcome it!!
Ed Miliband is leading the UK into an unprecedented,illogical, non-scientific catastrophe!
I would welcome a debate on these facts!

As someone who worked for a number of years at the former Steel Company of Wales, and later British Steel, in their cold strip mills, I sympathise with the worries of the workers today on facing a long Christmas shut down. I presume they will continue to be paid, but minus shift allowances and less tonnage bonuses, which in my days accounted for a sizeable part of the weekly pay packet.
In my days the tinplate strip mills, with their electroplating lines, were susceptible to the odd lay offs due to odd slumps in orders from canning factories reliant on seasonal foods e.g. Argentinian Beef or South African Fruits, but they were only for rare short periods of time.
Those lay offs, now called production pauses, would cascade back into the whole steel production scene from furnace to finished plate. Let’s hope it’s now only a one off temporary pause.
This brings me to an interesting query. Knowing that the five electrical drive motors alone of just one single cold reduction mill consumed about 25,000 bhp, there’s going to be a huge surplus of electricity in the Grid over the period of these extended Christmas heavy end industrial closures. Will this obvious big slump in electricity usage affect the seasonal market price of electric to our home energy bills? In all other markets, supply and demand, control prices.
Having quoted the statistic above of 25,000 bhp for the drive motors alone of one single heavy consuming steel mill, I’d like to ask a second query in that when things hopefully return to full production. How will erratic Wind Turbine Power drive these immense machines without further load shedding on calm weather days causing havoc to large scale Grid demand? You cannot run a steel mill on battery storage power.

Promoting wind and solar power is part of that process. National government ministers are tasked with enforcing [not making policy]. National governments have been captured. Refer to the graphic on the side-bar of Jac’s blog. “Welsh Government under new management: World Economic Forum”.
I sent this letter above into the Welsh press several days ago but it was ignored – even this sentence :- “ I presume they will continue to be paid, but minus shift allowances and less tonnage bonuses, which in my days accounted for a sizeable part of the weekly pay packet.” Now the Swansea “Evening POST” newspaper, who would not print my letter, has used my quote above to create a headline front page story today which you readers read first from me courtesy of Jac. That’s journalism in Wales today !
You refer to SIP in your post Jac. I normally receive a very prompt reply from PEDW Planning Manager to an enquiry. On this occasion, I continue to await a reply to my letter dated 29 September on the subject of SIP. Copy below. Will update you when I receive a reply.

Dear Planning Manager
Subject: Infrastructure [Wales] Act 2024 – Significant Infrastructure Projects [SIP]
I refer to the above subject. Guidance is currently available on your planning portal – at hyperlink below – regarding the current DNS planning process under the Planning Act.
https://www.gov.wales/developments-national-significance-dns-guidance
I would be grateful if you could give an indication when guidance will be available regarding the SIP process under Infrastructure [Wales] Act 2024 as the Act takes effect from 15 December 2025. Thank you.
Kind regards
The DNS system favoured the ‘developers’, but I fear SIP will be even more favourable. It’ll be a case of, “You want a few wind farms? – Help yourself, nobody’ll get in your way!”
Yes, I agree which is why I requested copy of the guidance setting out the process in detail. I have not examined the provisions of the Act in detail but I believe there are compulsory land purchase powers included.
This has been emerging slowly for years. A couple of times I’ve used this piece on the blog.
This is a major player. CEO of JP Morgan Chase.
Brief details at link below.
https://law.gov.wales/infrastructure-wales-act-2024-2
The residents and voters of Brechfa and Pumsaint, and the whole Towy Valley, deserve to know what alleged deals were struck, between Plaid Cymru and Bute Energy at the alleged secret meeting at the Falcondale, concerning gigantic erratic Wind Turbines and Pylons and Cables in their area. We know the Pylons and Cables will serve other Wind Turbine complexes running down the spine of Wales. Part of the new strategic national grid.
At last a whisper has reached me. It is alleged that it has been agreed that a short section of Pylons will be replaced by more costly underground cables with the landowners (mostly farmers) getting well compensated by the subsidiary company of Bute. Plaid will allegedly be given the credit for this ‘success’.
Also as part of the bargain it is further alleged that Plaid will take no formal part in opposing the actual monster erratic Wind Turbines themselves, as proposed for this strategic search area for renewables – which are themselves partly the reason for the power lines above or below ground.
Also Plaid are alleged to be talking about ‘community ownership’ of the power system, although this is not confirmed, as these projects are so large that the investment figures run into multi millions of pounds way beyond any valid meaningful local community shareholding investment.
Of course the local community funds will be large.
An article in today’s local ‘Carmarthen Journal’ 8-10-25 shows how deeply Plaid are into net zero and renewable energy, even more than Milliband. So it is now impossible for Plaid to go along with any form of opposition to Wind Turbine by Action Groups wherever and whatever is proposed locally.
If this alleged whisper is all bullshit then Plaid will have to run along with it because it’s their secrecy which is causing the gossip of their any alleged betrayal.
Their MP and Darren Price and their Baroness should come out publicly to quell any falsity in the alleged gossip such as whispered above.
Whispers will soon become loud shouts of annoyance and negative voting.
That fits Ioan. Read Cefin Campbel’s reply to a member of ReThink’s group….We finally have a position on renewables from Plaid Cymru and it’s not particularly good news. Th below came back from our Plaid MS Cefin Campbell replying to someone who asked about the party’s position on renewables.
“Plaid Cymru supports renewable energy and our aim of reaching net zero by 2040. It means we must reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and commit to decarbonisation to ensure that the planet is more sustainable for our children and great grandchildren.
This can only be achieved by investing in renewable energy projects. However, we are acutely aware of the cumulative effect a large number of applications in a considerable small geographical area (e.g north Carmarthenshire, Powys and the Cambrian Mountains in Ceredigion) can have on local communities, which is why we are debating a motion at our conference over the weekend on reducing the size and number of wind turbines on any given location and the development of smaller, community-owned renewable projects which will allow the profits to stay in Wales and lead to lower energy bills and meaningful and sustainable investment in the local economy. Our strong preference is for smaller-scale, decentralised and community-led energy developments, and no energy projects can or should be permitted where this is not of direct and tangible benefit to our communities.
With regards to the debate about pylons, our position is absolutely clear – undergrounding and low wooden monopoles can and should be the default for new grid infrastructure, with parts of Wales which are special landscape areas – where no alternatives to undergrounding and no ‘pylon exemptions’ can or should be permitted. This should be reflected and reinforced in all relevant planning policy and regulations.
I hope this explains our position.”
After a period of silence from the party, this is less encouraging than we could have hoped for. In addition he/they seems not to understand that more unfettered industrial-scale, unreliable, intermittent, weather-dependant renewable energy schemes will not decarbonise the grid.
What do he and his party think will happen when the wind doesn’t blow? And have they noticed that the public purse has already paid out over £1b this year on constraints payments and paying gas stations to switch on to replace turbines turned off?
Please share widely and lobby hard. Plaid may well be the largest party after the elections next May and therefore forming the next Welsh Government. .
So Plaid Cymru’s Cefin Campbell MS says officially on behalf of Plaid :-
“Our strong preference is for smaller-scale, decentralised and community-led energy developments, and no energy projects can or should be permitted where this is not of direct and tangible benefit to our communities.”
This proves that Plaid is in utter fairy land. Don’t they understand the reality of the scale of investment needed to erect the erratic Wind Turbines of today to have any meanigful average power output. The cost is many millions of pounds to pay for the monsters themselves let alone obtaining the land by purchase or lease; getting the permission; the construction costs; the huge capital cost of the equipment and then maintenance – it’s an enormous investment. If they are of a smaller-scale (as he says) they will still have enormous costs beyond the reach of community investment. Those few projects run by communities will only power a few kettles at 2.4 kWs each. Not enough for tea breaks. Give us examples with costs and real output figures Mr Campbell. Don’t treat us as gullible fools. These rural communities cannot even afford to raise enough money to run a community mini bus transport for their elderly let alone pay for what Plaid Cymru is suggesting. Sorry for the language but it’s all effing total bullshit and Plaid needs to be exposed on this charade of green shit. That’s it – green shit !
Exactly Ioan.Well said! I sggest that you pop into town this Saturday at midday. CRAIG, which is an umbrella group opposing ALL this green ‘con job’ in Carmarthenshire and southern Ceredigion, is doing a demo outside the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea. Carmarthenshire Residence Against Industrial something is a brainchild of Havard Hughes, who hails from Rhydargaeau, in Carms.
I would be there if not taking five of my ‘ methane emiting cattle, which are a ‘danger to our planet’, to Llanybydder Mart. Plaid have signed up to the Climate and Nature Bill, which has ‘Zero Hour’ as its framework. Plaid supports a reduction of methane gas of 45% by 2030 -with ruminants as cattle and sheep being the mainstay of methane emissions in Wales, and UK. All the Plaid MPs in Wesminster have put their name to this farce! With all four of them representing livestock farming areas, then I do think that they are ALL mad!
..or cachu lloi bach in good ole’ Sir Gar terms !!
Thank you. Appreciate all the research that you do. What a web of deceit has ensnared a government too lazy to perform due diligence. These parasites need exposing.
Conference organisers, so the end goal is selling shares to money for nothing chancers in London.
Wales has lots of patriots, but lacks true leaders, that will put a stop to it. We clearly can’t rely on politicians.
It’s got sod all to do with the climate, or the environment. It’s all about using those to make money.
Kathryn Porter is amazing. I’ve followed her blog for sometime as a once employee of energy companies from the time of privatisation I am horrified at all the hard difficult work that was done to turn the industry into a proper customer facing one has been thrown away in the last twenty years. It deeply saddens me. More important though is some of the other things she refers to in the interview that is civil servants not being responsible to ministers and the human rights legislation being deeply embedded into a whole host of legislation where it should never have been put ( by the way I do blame the conservatives for not identifying this at the time and alerting the country to the destruction this would engender). This really exposes why everything in this country and the UK has gone awry and people need to know about it.
I don’t think it helps to talk of political parties any longer. It seems to me that all the ‘established’ parties have been captured. If Reform turns out to be little more than ‘controlled opposition’ (as has been suggested here), then elections become meaningless, and politics as we’ve known it, is dead.
What then?
I agree. What next? I can only see increasing tension between the governed and the government, with ever more nefarious groups and companies taking advantage of the people/taxpayers and successfully gaming the government.
It isn’t just the governed and the government; it’s the bulk of the population and an increasingly distanced and unrepresentative elite, by which I mean media, academia, the judiciary and others. At other times, and in other countries, this has been the scenario for violent revolution.
You state in your final sentence what I fear and am to frightened to say.
Sorry, but that’s how I see it. People haven’t just lost faith in one party, or in politicians generally, but in a whole system.
I can see a Race War kicking off in Europe before this century, or half-century is out. Mass immigration, coupled with wokedom hounding people who speak up against changing demographics will be the casus belli.
And you can see what might trigger it.
On the one hand there is a native, working population, reducing in both numbers and as a percentage of the population having to work longer to sustain a growing, non-working, immigrant population. (Germany is about to raise the retirement age to 73.) Then add Net Zero and the deliberate de-industrialisation of Europe.
This is so absurd, so unnecessary, that it can only be explained as a deliberate attempt to wreck the economies and social cohesion of European countries.
We’ll be offered Digital ID, CBDC, carbon passports and the rest as the solution. It’s already happening.
Thankfully, more and more people see, and understand, what’s happening. But things will get a lot worse before they get better.
Spot on Jac. We all need to brace ourselves and prepare for what is coming down the pipeline. As you say, it will get a lot worse before we reach a tipping point where enough people understand the globalist agenda.
Why does Nature need private finance?
Real power rests with 99% of the world population, not the 1% global elite who currently dictate policy. When enough people understand that it’s game over for the global elite operating through unelected global think tanks. I wish more people would examine carefully the information presented in attached G3P chart. In my view it makes perfect sense,
For years and years members of the Welsh Labour Party have taunted Members of Plaid Cymru, and assorted Welsh Patriots like myself , with false taunts of being a sort of fascist nationalist grouping. It was pointless arguing with Welsh Labour as they themselves wrapped themselves in Union Jacks as British Nationalists. I was delighted to read a published comment attributed to Senedd Member Manon ap Gwynfor that answers these old Welsh Labour taunts. Here it is:-
Mabon ap Gwynfor, the Plaid Cymru MS for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, said: “We are a civic nationalist party and have absolutely nothing to do with ethno-nationalism. “There are different kinds of nationalism in different places, but we believe that everyone who lives in Wales and identifies as Welsh is very welcome to do so. “Ethno-nationalism of the kind promoted by far right parties seeks to define people by the colour of their skin and their ethnicity. They then make judgments about people based on their ethnic origin, with some races considered superior to others. “This is a very dangerous path. It pitches people against each other and we know what it led to in Germany in the 1930s. It needs to be called out before it takes root.”
Well said Mabon. Now, will Welsh Labour concentrate on attacking the Wind Turbine Shysters who are ripping the guts out of Wales and at the same time look inwards at their own old Labour core right wing ‘jobs for the boys’ brigade.
Keep it going Jac. Your readers must react not just praise you. I write to the Press, and my local Politicians at all levels, on a daily basis. The politicians all ignore me but i get a few letters in the press – I do it on principle.
By the way – harping back – nobody has come forward to say if it was true that Plaid Cymru and Bute Energy held an alleged secret meeting in the Falcondale Hotel near Lampeter a few weeks back. Did they? If true, what did they carve up? Was the lady MP and the Baroness there with the retiring ‘son of prophecy’ there?
Well, it was secret.
Of course it’s a secret but secrets get broken and should be broken in this case. The voters of Brechfa and Pumpsaint, and the whole Towy Valley, deserve to know what deals were struck about Wind Turbines and Pylons and Cables in their area. Surely someone who was there could leak out the details and make them public. This Falcondale meeting allegedly took place the same time as there was an open Residents’ Protestors Public Meeting, at which apologies were given on behalf of prominent local people who were probably at the Falcondale, although that reason was not admitted.
Who was there? What was the Agenda? What was decided? What public mandate did the participants have for decisions? ANSWERS PLEASE.
I have no idea at what took place in the Folcondale the other week… My take on Plaid is not as rose tinted as your’s Ioan. I find the fervent plaid supporters quite nasty and intolerant of any welsh speaking person who does not conform to their narrow belief. Plaid is a far left party, with more in tune with a socialist utopian tenet. Extremes of socialism and facism are horrible. I suppose Plaid and Bute were discussing the “final solution” for Cefen Gwlad Cymru.
As you know a “secret” in the Lampeter area has a very brief life. Someone will have seen or heard something, then it’s a case of “did you know….” or “bet those bastards are up to something..” Which Baroness does Ioan refer to? The barren Eluned or Plaid’s new dame in the Lords or maybe both of them?
Ta for this excellent piece… I started to foam at the mouth when I first read the words ‘Hodge House’…. I shall now go and have a cup of tea to calm down.
Calm down, Morfydd, it could be pure coincidence.
sadly, I agree totally with the comments and will vote reform. The previous MP for Wrexham has gone to Reform and will stand as a Reform candidate in the WGov elections in May. It is corruption, total corruption but its there and as Jac knows I was involved with a major planning dev over a decade ago and that was an education as to who had which finger in which pot, and its shell companies and down the hole you go!!
There’s no question that Wales is corrupt. Simple greed is one thing, but what we have in Wales is people believing, or pretending to believe, things that are obviously untrue. They’ve adopted an agenda – on climate, race, gender, etc – that is being dismantled by the tuth.
So those who’ve swallowed the lies, and preached that they were true, demanding we follow them, now find themselves in the embarrassing situation of trying to hold up a vast, crumbling edifice.
They can’t admit they were wrong, and lied to us, so what are their options? They can either slowly backtrack, be less vocal on these issues, admit there are legitimate alternative views, or they can dig their heels in.
Those who’ve fed them this nonsense have too much invested in promoting these ideas to just back down. Which is why they’re now pushing censorship (to protect free speech), and Digital ID (to deal with illegal immigration), which give the game away.
In the short term, the political class, the universities, the media, will have to dig their heels and try to silence those telling the truth. So I fear things could get worse before they get better.

Mine’s one them!
I’m half convinced bonkers policies from the Scottish Parliament and Senedd are by design, directed in secret from Westminster, to put the respective bodies politic off the idea of further autonomy. Either that or women with penises and outdoor dogwalking spaces being racist are legitimate tenets of a bunch of seriously deranged and detached people.
A bit of both. On the big issues, like helping the UK meet its green energy obligations, there is undoubtedly pressure from London.
As for the minor lunacies, like racist dogs, and Islamophobic countryside, this is home grown. Or at least, this nonsense comes from freaks and oddballs attracted to Wales by the culture of Corruption Bay.
Parasites who have moved into Wales with loads of highly suspect loony ideas seem to have a lot more cred among the denizens of the Bay Bubble. Any native with a set of well thought through ideas gets short shrift from the demented Senedd machine.
Perhaps a relatively recent (or recently revived) wrinkle to it all is afoot also – given we have two Labour governments at present, the Wales branch office is used as a testing ground for more ‘outside the box’ policies?
Excellent as always my only comment is there are only 1.482000 homes in Wales ( according to the internet as of 2024)
They’re not talking about Wales. If they are, it’s only in the sense that Wales can be exploited.
As usual, excellent article Jac. I will watch the video later today, though I’ve seen some of Kathryn Porter’s insightful comments and hold her in high esteem. If you’ve not seen last year’s output on the Net Zero scam, can I direct you and readers to “Climate: The Movie” on YT. They have an excellent line up of cancelled and retired professors who expose the scam.
I’m not going to dispute Jason’s comment below, but the only realistic way that we will sweep the uniparty out from Corruption Bay is to vote Reform.
That’s a major problem – expose the scam and get blacklisted.
But it proves the scam cannot stand up to scrutiny, or debate.
I smell fear in the air, they must rush through approval before the public mood catches up with them and the political mood alters to fit.
In May we have a Senedd election and I kept telling myself that there was nobody to vote for. Traditional parties are all net zero bonkers, Plaid have just formally come out in favour of net zero and renewables and I don’t trust Reform.
Where do I go?
Well, I made my decision and I am running my self for my ward of Sir Gaerfryddin (Carmarthenshire)
I joined the Heritage Party, check out their manifesto ( heritage party.org/manifesto ), I applied and got selected.
I am not a politician, I loath politicians, but I am an engineer and I can see through their lies. My intention is to expose it all, the lies the hypocrisy, the back handers. Your blog is a very valuable tool for me there.
The storm is coming to Cardiff, I’m bringing it.
Best of luck to you.
Hi, I admire your stance, but we need labour and Plaid out of welsh politics. I am voting Reform hopefully that this party can play a big part in getting rid of some of the corruption. Yes there will always be an element of corrupt politicians. But to think at this late stage that any other party has a chance, well. I am hoping that Reform will halt this madness of net zero, wales has gone backwards long enough.
The big job remains making enough voters realise that Plaid offers no real change from Labour.
Plaid have issued a statement supporting renewables and net zero, Welsh speaking Labour.
The real challenge is showing people what reform are actually like, they are not a challenger, they will not come out and denounce net zero and the destruction of the Cambrians, Heritage do/
I fear Reform is controlled opposition.
I’m not sure language has any relevance here.
Hi Robert
Unfortunately I don’t think Reform are what you think they are. They will not stand up on this issue the way we want them to, Nigel Farage would not stand up to Laura K the other night. I would have, see my conference speech below, my first ever political speech:

There is no Climate Crisis to justify this ecocide, none of the doom predictions have ever come true, not a single one, the Arctic and Antarctic ice is growing, polar bear numbers are up and the great barrier reef is fine, etc.
They are raping our country side for profit in the name of an emergency that doesn’t actually exist, and making us pay for it.
Sounds like you should explore the Gwlad website and contact some local members. They are patriotic, sensible and heavily reliant on a data rational and analytic approach which makes most of the mainstream party bigots cringe.
After all the Bay bubble has thrived in a weird sort of way on a diet of lies, half-truths and oddball “science”. The prospect of confronting reality on a regular basis makes them shudder. Witness the hoo ha when they were told that sex was/is a straightforward binary deal, with only a few notable exceptions due to innate defects, rather than some choice made while struggling with mental health issues.
I will, thank you very much
