You have to forgive me if the content is not up to date as I started writing this in February. Unfortunately I have approximately 4 blog started but not published let alone the ones in my head!

"That's why politics is far too important to leave in the hands of politicians!"That's how I last closed the post in June 2017 and a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. Leanne Wood replaced, and unfortunately in Jeremy Corbyn's case the London neo-liberal party of parliament got the media and press mechanism to get it out too.

It is heartning that Mark Drakeford is prime minister, and now the 'red clear water' between Welsh Labour and 'National' Labour with Starmer competing with flags and rhetoric to be the most Nationalistic British leader, and which, as Blair before him, supporting Imperialist NATO militarism, and accusing Stop the War coalition of siding with NATO enemies.

Of course now NATO is seen as the savior of the world, but that's another story.

It must be remembered that Mark Drakeford intends to stand down this session and there are more than enough blairite members desperate to take his place. And anyway, everything is relative and the governments faults would take many posts to discuss, and hopefully I will have published several posts by the time he leaves!

Of course it is the Tories who are still in power. And they got Brexit Done 'to protect and increase their wealth. And they are willing to betray their DUP friends in Northern Ireland and the peace treaty for the same reasons.

Boris Johnson lies, more of a party than politics?

Moving goods to northern Ireland like moving goods to Camden?

In the last blog I referred to the Yes campaign in Scotland and of course, mention must be made of the tremendous growth in Yes Cymru membership, but of course also the structural and political problems and the internal rebellion that did so much damage (with a narrative that the left is to blame).

I didn't join Yes Cymru because I didn't want to be a member of an organization where right-wing members were welcome, but I must point my sadness for these events.

It was therefore good to see the arrival of Undod and I am a member of this movementhttps://undod.cymru/cy/
We are a democratic movement, socialist, republicans established to secure independence for Wales. '

To solve the problems we face this is the kind of Wales I want to live and be a part of it.

Sweet and Sour Y!

I finished the first blog by stating that change is possible. Well surprisingly for me I was correct!

I am a socialist and a bit of an anarchist by now. I joined Plaid Cymru when Leanne Wood stood for the leadership of the party, and that because of her clear left wing views and unambiguous terms, as highlighted in Green Plan for the valleys. I voted for Hywel Williams, who has a fault free record in his fight for social equity issues in Parliament. I am also active with the Welsh Language Society locally and nationally.

It's no secret that I have been supportive of Jeremy Corbyn, and indeed more supportive than some local members of the labour party.

The Labour Party didn't win the election but it managed to secure support for left wing policies (no different to policies of Governments of all colours in London since the second world war). A large proportion of the electorate rejected the savage message of the capitalists papers together with the establishment based BBC (the same bias was observed with independence referendum in Scotland) . The neo liberal regime has shocked and hope that there is little to no austerity agenda idiolegol. Managed to inspire young people to register to vote and to be involved in politics and to fight for a better world. This in part is a reflection of what happened with the YES campaign in Scotland.

However in case we over enthuse, The blaireite members of parliament who wanted to replace Corbyn are still wed to the neo liberal blaire agenda..

You could have sworn that Welsh Labour was a different party and now there is 'clear blue water' between and Labour in London, rather than the 'clear red water' Rhodri Morgan talked about in the past?

That is why politics is far too important to be left in the hands of politicians!

Protest here Monday

P.S..
The blog is available in the ' slang' of many languages including Spanish for the cultural Imperialist labour party candidate in Arfon. (She responded to a Welsh language e-mail firstly in English and then in Spanish!)

Welcome to my first blog . I do not know who will read this but I had to because of the name?

I have been on this earth 39 years before inventing the pen name. (the website has not been updated for a while)

Having thought of such a good name I had to established Pensel ! The fact that the state was increasing control and setting shackles on what Tai Eryri could do was another motive. I remember someone saying that Dai was correct not Tai .... whoever Dai is?!

Tai Eryri was formed by Tai Gwynedd to take advantage of government grants. It was strange to me that Tai Eryri operate on Anglesey and in Meirionnydd. More surprisingly is that the forces that drive the centralization in all areas in Wales (devolution begins and ends the Assembly) which led to the Consolidation Tai Eryri and Tai Clwyd and create Habitat Group. The 'habitat' all the way to the Sea of ​​Aberdaron! The Wilderbeast ddyweda to habitat!

Apologies for rwdlian but ishio explain the name I blog, in order not to have to make, but maybe if there's a young readers may not know about political imprisonment in the H blocks 6 County of Green Island where Bobby Sands died hunger strikers and other. Was also known as Long Kesh or the Maze. The prison closed 2000 and today part of which center Peace. The walls were flimsy enough in Prisoner Cell Block H program

Change is possible.
