Meanwhile the gap between the haves and have-nots gets ever wider. The haves don't seemed to mind so long as they are carefully insulated from their less fortunate brothers/sisters who are now mostly content to sink into a life of escapism. But that won't last forever.

LLANELLI'S TOP POLITICIAN
Lord Elwyn Jones, born in Old Castle Rd and a socialist---the old type--never forgot where he was born. I met him a few times, he actually was a member of Tarbanacle Chapel Town Hall Square, the first time was a week after he was part of the team that sorted out Ian Smith in Rhodesia. He also was a figure in the Nuremberg Trials. Lord Jones's brother Dr Idris Jones played for the Scarlets and I believe captained Wales, I do know Lord Jones was a supporter. All the above is 100% true, and I think that Ian Smith played against Llanelli as a youngster---SMALL WORLD. Sorry to say no one in the Labour Party can tie his shoe lace, and sorry leaves The Lord Howard of Lympne for dead. Socialist, WelsH Speaker, Rugby Man, Chapel Man.............and a good man at that. |

If I know about something I will. If I don't I won't. You can't have an opinion on something you know nothing about. That's ridiculous. |

My worry is that the SNP got all its votes in less than 60 constituencies where it won almost all of them while UKIP competed in ten times as many constituencies for its one seat. Electoral reform will need to allow for this, while avoiding the dangerous course of ignoring the perfectly legitimate case for secession some Scots and Welsh feel they have. No-one managed to do that in the 19th century for the Irish vote, and it's not clear anyone (except the nationalists!) has much idea how to cope with it today. I don't know what the answer is, but I think we may need to start with a more "federal" approach where laws that apply across the federation - i.e those where the members choose to pool their sovereignty - are legislated separately from laws that apply only to individual member states, by parliaments that are elected by separate mechanisms. They have something like this in the U.S. and Canada, but manage it with conventional two-party systems in the main. |

Oh, and david Coburn lost his deposit. I'm delighted that this piece of human detritus got what he asked for.

Then they were entirely supid enough not to do a little research for themselves, happy instead to allow their political thinking to be coloured by the Tories and their media pals. Hell mend them.
