I'm the Hen Ferchetan. This is my take on the world through the eyes of Wales. While mostly about Welsh politics (that most famous of dour topics!) I try to scatter some humour around, but I doubt anyone but me will find it funny! Have a read, and if it bores you then feel free to never come back!

My Word is Gospel

Peter Hain 2006:
He said that there was "no way" Labour would introduce proportional representation (PR) in local elections.
Rhodri Morgan 2008:
“The only way in which this is going to happen is through proportional representation – a form of election which would, undoubtedly, improve our representation in counties such as Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Ynys Môn and Gwynedd,”


Peter Hain March 2007:
Asked by Plaid's Adam Price to clarify his position on a Labour-Plaid coalition, Mr Hain said: "I'm ruling it out.
Peter Hain 17th May 2007:
Asked by BBC Radio Wales whether his party could do a deal with Plaid or the Conservatives, Mr Hain replied "certainly not".
BBC July 2007:
Labour has voted by a big margin to back an historic coalition with Plaid Cymru in the Welsh assembly.


Adam Price 2007:

He (Hain) quite regularly takes a different view to those who actually make the decisions

Price of course prefers to keep the majority in the dark concerning his pronouncements, by not writing in English .....

Umm...Adam price's blog is in English Stonemason. The only Welsh posts are copies of his coloumn for Golwg which are in Welsh for an obvious reason (they are written to appear in Golwg!)

It was the column for Golwg that I was referring.

It's always good to know what our politicians are thinking of.

Golwg's a Welsh language publication - if he wrote in English I have a feeling they wouldn't have any interest in it! Quite a bizzare criticism that stonemason.

Anyway, anything of even the tiniest interest he says in Golwg seems to get a long write up by the Western Mail these days!

Everything he writes is of interest, Ordo usually produces a translation, hasn't this time, pity.

Welshfledgling - my blogroll is months behind at the moment. I've stopped regular posting and blogging for a bit due to personal things at home, when I return proper I'll review my blogroll again.

God Stonemason is a twat with a Welsh-hating obsession - Golwg is a bloody Welsh-language mag, ergo Price writes in Welsh.
What a plonker Stonemason is, it all comes down to Welsh with him, whatever the issue, it's always the Welsh language he complains about.
Join the fucking BNP and have done with it, if you find 'minority' such a dirty word.

KWK, it's almost KKK, if you read Edam Rice 23 Oct, his Colofn Golwg is written using English and Welsh.

The only issue is the content, I like to read what he has to say.

I don't find minority a problem, it's the tail WAGging the dog I have a problem with.

Oh, and foul language.
