The funny thing is that no-one is talking about the coming war, the real reason tweedledum called the surprise election - he supposedly wants out before it happens. Meanwhile tweedledumber - the guy who is perfectly OK with cutting off the water to Gaza - has no such qualms.
So off we'll trot, photo identification in hand, to cast a vote in what may well be the last election for a few generations, it doesn't really matter does it? Our Plaid Cymru candidate - I voted for them in pre-woke days - was the Green Party choice at the last election. I wouldn't vote for her then so why should I now? There's an abolish the Welsh Assemby guy, a limited ambition while you have two main candidates eager to abolish the world. I'll probably not bother.
UPDATE:
The LibDems won B&R which was probably the best possible result of the parties in with a chance- hopefully they are less likely to lust after war than the Tory or Labour leaderships.
Plaid are exactly where they have been for the last 50 years, the party of choice of the diminishing Bro Gymraeg. The promised breakout is as distant as ever and they were easily outshone by Reform unknowns. Do they ever think why? Perhaps they'll blame the racist voters - that's the usual go-to of the Western globalists. The election of Llinos Medi was one bright spot, a candidate who clearly has some understanding of the voters.
The new Labour defence secretary quickly scurried off to Odessa to pledge undying support for the occupying regime - plus ça change.

Wow, now that's pessimistic. Probably right, but still.
Well hopefully all the mad Nato rhetoric and actions such as cluster bombing a Crimean beach are just aimed at convincing the Russians that they are dealing with lunatics and better pull back. Unfortunately they are lunatics so who knows where it all ends.
Just came back to this good blog after years. Very sad to see you swallowed the russian lies about the beach bombing.
The missile was hit by air defence and deflected towards a civilian beach. Not the intended target. Unlike Russia lobbing bombs into civilians areas killing hundreds of children
Where is the complaint about Russia invading a country which wholly voted for independence in 1991.
btw....the actual meaning of Woke = questioning the impact of colonialism and imperialism on vulnerable groups....
I ignore any fabricated meanings created by the like of the the Telegraph....and its endless English imperialist dribble ..... woke is nothing to do with sexuality
I can't remember a quieter election than this, I've only seen a handful of placards about the place down here in Gwent.
Dear Bryn, Have you ever considered that you might be the one who has swallowed the propaganda. As for woke, words have a trajectory of their own, you might have your own definition but for the masses it refers to the "progressive" side of the culture war, which has very little to do with colonialism - other than seeking to impose Western values on traditional societies.
There were actually two referendums in Ukraine in 1991, in March there was a substantial majority to remain in the Soviet Union with only the area around Lvov voting for independence. The second referendum in December voted to leave the already disintegrating USSR. This decision was accepted until the coup in 2014 with the elected president forced to flee and the governing Party of the Regions banned along with the still substantial Communist Party. Crimea took advantage of its special status as an Autonomous Republic to rejoin Russia and a civil war broke out in Eastern Ukraine.
I was hoping that Bryn would come back - but no. Anyway he may be right about missiles being hit by air defence, it happens. Most of the civilian deaths in Kiev are caused by wayward air defence coming down to earth. What is different is that the beach casualties were caused by cluster munitions - you don't aim cluster munitions at cities.
Hi trying to contact you regards information about Sir Charles Edwards from Llangunllo. Not sure if this is allowed, but my email is:
trevor.jones4@btinternet.com
I'm trying to put finishing touches to an article for the Llangunllo website. Many thanks, Trev Jones. Llangunllo.
I haven't got an ancestry account at the moment but someone posted detail of the 1871 census on an earlier comment
"Taken from the 1871 census
EDWARDS John, h, m, 40, ag lab, RAD Llangynllo, Crungoed Cottage,
EDWARDS Catherine, w, m, 37,, RAD Heyope, Crungoed Cottage,
EDWARDS William, s,, 11,, RAD Llangynllo, Crungoed Cottage,
EDWARDS Richard, s,, 7,, RAD Llangynllo, Crungoed Cottage,
EDWARDS Thomas, s,, 5,, RAD Llangynllo, Crungoed Cottage,
EDWARDS Charles, s,, 3,, RAD Llangynllo, Crungoed Cottage,
EDWARDS Martha, d,, 2,, RAD Llangynllo, Crungoed Cottage,
As you can see Charles lived at the old Crungoed Cottage which was just 60 good radnor yards from my front door, now just a few stones remain but the garden is still visible and used. This information has been verified by my good father-in-law who's own father was very taken with him when he spoke at Gravel Chapel in the early fifties.
John Edwards was a farm worker at the Crungoed and once Charles left school at 12 went to work at Lower Sign, Llanddewi."
If you search welsh newspapers online you might find something, he was described as being from Pontllanffraith and Blackwood, a miners agent, JP and county councillor.
Sadly the SNP are even bigger NATO / EU bootlickers than Plaid Cymru. Did you you Sturgeon in Holyrood the other day talking about the importance of getting Kamala elected and backing the Ukraine? Deluded and they're no real friends of Cymru either, Dennis Skinner had the right idea about them.
Mae pethau yn sicr yn symud ymlaen yn y byd ers yr etholiad mawr arall yr Unol Daleithiau, efallai mae'n bryd am ddiweddariad?
