\"\"<\/a>There will be no posting this week, but I may get something out before Christmas. This links with my decision to start winding the blog down in the new year, for two main reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To begin with, I’m not getting any younger. And yet, despite that, I find myself taking on fresh responsibilities. Things I want to do before the Grim Reaper comes a-calling. So it has become a question of priorities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But also, having spent some ten years writing this blog and its predecessor I feel there’s a limit to how much can be said of a spectrum that runs from lying politicians and their grant-grabber cronies through to more honest crooks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My plan is to keep the blog going, with a reduced output, until the Senedd elections in May. When I hope to see signs of our people rejecting the Corruption Bay consensus that’s destroying Wales.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For while I still entertain hope of events external to Wales having influence it would be encouraging to see from within a desire for the radical change this country needs. Something of substance and lasting impact.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But if Welsh people continue voting for Labour and Plaid Cymru, parties with absurd priorities divorced from Wales’<\/strong> true needs, then Wales will soon be finished as anything other than a tourist destination.<\/strong><\/p>\n
