God Save The Queen.
Ponder that instead of today's being a public holiday throughout the United Kingdom, we, uniquely in the world, have celebrations of the mere fact that the banks are on holiday, making them almost the only people who are, since the term "public holiday" does not apply to a day on which the public are routinely compelled to work.
And, if you can, vote No on Thursday. This one can be won. Let's win it.

Knew we could rely on you. Saint David's Day on the Monday when the further devolution referendum is on the Thursday, and what have the MSM to say about Wales? Diddly squat, that's what.
ReplyDeleteThe seriousness that you devote to Wales makes you probably the only real Unionist commentator in Britain today. You also write from the North East, which is not "The North" as defined by television, permanently somewhere between Manchester and Leeds. And you are interested in the South outside London.
Yes, you are the only real Unionist commentator. As only an Old Labour right winger can be.
Very many thanks. But less of the "right-wing", please.
ReplyDeleteThe referendum is on a knife edge, but no member of either House is associated with the No campaign even though many of them are known in private to be voting No.
ReplyDeleteThe best we have is Kim Howells on the news last night, he was in that same position last time, like a lot them: undoubtedly voted No but was bound by collective responsibility in public.
In any case he is not in Parliament now. Not even any of our many Unionist Labour peers is out on the stump for a No vote, the opinion of half those who will vote and which might well win.
Let's not even talk about the useless Welsh Tories, almost all of whose supporters are No voters but you would never think it.
Where is the representation there?
Well, what are you doing about it?
ReplyDeleteThis referendum has laid bare our disenfranchisement. Our UKIP MEP has done nothing, but Tories do still have UKIP I suppose. Meanwhile, as of course I know that you know, True Wales has its roots in the Labour tradition here. Watch that space.
ReplyDeleteI certainly will. And True Wales should look at both the People's Peer mechanism and the European Election. In the latter case, at least, in unison with the rest of us around the United Kingdom.
