Glyn deplores the throwing of eggs….2 consecutive posts by Syniadau on the number of students taking Welsh GCSE – some good news & some not so good. Vaughan in Welsh and ,Google translated here – you can get the sense?, has a nice occasional series of video clips.
Clwyd West Tory MP David Jones asks: “How ill is al- Megrahi?”

    thanks Dewi, have enjoyed your Welsh background posts as well.

    Interesting to see Price as leader.

    Ieuan seemed like a steady leader but somewhat a steady as she goes type.

    Price seems like a more charismatic personality.

    What type of leader would he make and politically how focussed is he on the drive for independence.\

    To cast a Scottish tinge on this – is he another Salmond?

    J = it’s a strange time. Me, I’ve become a Ieuan fan – unemployment in Wales down two months in a row – astonishing in the current climate. As Industry minister Ieuan deseves some credit.
    It’s a difficult mechanism to get Adam into the Assembly – every path suggested will upset a lot of people. He should stand in Neath next time – not easy and will annoy his Carmarthen East constituents – difficult.
