\"\"<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got a spare 90 minutes, watch this video<\/a>. If not, push on.<\/p>\n

This is only a quickie, so let’s get started . . .<\/p>\n

\u25ca<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

LET’S HAVE A CONFERENCE!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Wales must do this . . . and that . . . to generate ‘clean’ power for “four million homes<\/em>” (in Wales?), and “5,000 jobs in the process<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

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<\/a> (SIPs) “as a one-stop shop for approvals<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 . . .<\/em> “.<\/p>\n

The offending – and offensive – article was penned by Rebecca Ives-Rose, “a director with Freshwater, on planning for a clean energy future in Wales<\/em>“. In Wales, but not for Wales.<\/p>\n

Her approach to SIPs, and much else, is summed up with:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Actually, Wales can<\/em> afford to “lag behind<\/em>“. Because we already produce more electricity than we consume.<\/p>\n

And of course, “endless delay<\/em>” is a reference to annoying little people complaining because their lives and livelihoods are about to be blighted. Cheeky buggers!<\/em><\/p>\n

So who is Rebecca Ives-Rose, a woman with the authority to speak to and for Wales; and who or what is Freshwater?<\/p>\n

According to her Linkedin profile<\/a> (saved here in pdf<\/a>) 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?<\/p>\n

Stick with me.<\/p>\n

There is a company called Freshwater<\/a>, 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<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At first attempt, I found nothing registered with Companies House under that name.<\/p>\n

It was only by following one of those listed as a leading Freshwater director, John Haydn Evans<\/a>, that I found the Waterfront Conference Company, which of course is where Rebecca Ives-Rose’s Linkedin took us.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, only on the Companies House entry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then I thought to myself, “Hang on, Jones! Hodge House rings a bell, who else do we know at that address?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s our old friends from Bonnie Scotland – the Bute gang!<\/em><\/p>\n

Small world, innit?<\/p>\n

HOW DO THE PIECES FIT?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Evans has been involved with many companies<\/a>, 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<\/a>, with six outstanding charges<\/a> going back over 20 years; and Freshwater (UK Regions) Ltd<\/a>, with one charge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Both use the Hodge House address. And filings for both show losses in the most recent accounts.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The next job was to track down who actually owns this parent company. And the answer is, Raglan House Holdings Ltd<\/a>. Which also uses the Hodge House address.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Another document I found confirms that Raglan House Holdings Ltd took over Freshwater at the beginning of 2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

So who’s behind Raglan House?<\/p>\n

The answer to that is David Matthew Rustin Howell<\/a>, through Hillco Investments (UK) Ltd<\/a>. As the latest accounts tell us he has a number of other investments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among the shareholders you’ll also see, ‘DBW FM Ltd’ – Development Bank of Wales. Does anyone recognise any of the other names?<\/p>\n

UPDATE 08.10.2025:<\/strong><\/span> 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?<\/a> He was also involved in the Banc Cambria scam with Plaid’s Mark Hooper, who’s now a Penarth councillor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Getting further and further away from Wales all the time. And the subject matter. (Slaps self on wrist.)<\/p>\n

\u25ca<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CONCLUSION<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 . . . “<\/em>, then slips a piece of paper into your hand that tells you where to go.<\/p>\n

Those were the days!<\/em><\/p>\n

Though we know that the company arranging this conference, and associated outfits, all share an address with Bute Energy.<\/p>\n

Which could of course be pure coincidence. Or not, as the case may be.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t end there. For Rebecca also tells us:<\/p>\n

\n

Later this autumn, Waterfront Conference Company will hold its\u00a0Planning for Infrastructure in Wales 2025\u00a0event.<\/a>\u00a0That forum will dive into the detail of the new planning regime, offering insight into how the changes will affect developers, investors and local authorities.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love the way it ends with “our ambition<\/em>“. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I regard you all with contempt.<\/p>\n

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’.<\/p>\n

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<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But if so, then I’m not sure stupidity, or gullibility, is a big improvement on avarice.<\/p>\n

For those of you attending today’s conference – ‘Have a nice day, y’all!’.<\/em><\/p>\n

Because the days are getting shorter.<\/p>\n
