I see the Ospreys are demonstrating their commitment to Welsh rugby by signing Australian players for the forthcoming season. See also: the other 3 regions / franchises.

How many new Reform UK councillors in England have already resigned. I'm hearing at least two. It's almost as if Reform UK had a lot of "paper" candidates.

I have voted in the Senedd elections. I did NOT vote for Reform UK. They are NOT our friends. They are a bunch of blinkered, misguided people following a self-serving self-centred right-wing racist grifter.

Whilst the GOP protect Trump in 'murica, police in the UK arrest Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (the former Prince Andrew) of suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Welsh Water= far too high bills. They're supposed to be non-profit, so why so high?

Suella Braverman, the latest Tory to switch to Reform UK. Vote Reform UK, get a bunch of re-branded Tories. Y'know, the ones that got us into this mess.

Reform UK in Wales? A bunch of failed Tories who've jumped from a sinking ship. Vote Reform UK, get Tories. They're not on our side.

The new Mozart Estate album, "Tower Block in a Jam Jar", revisits old Mozart Go-Kart songs. Enjoyable pop fluff. Do listen.

Another great night for Starmer's "Labour" party as Welsh Labour lost the Caerphilly Senedd seat to Plaid Cymru. Tactical voting by many to keep out Reform UK? Probably. Horror by voters as Starmer lurches "Labour" to the right to try to gain Reform UK votes. Again, probably.

How many of Farage's small Brexit boats have crossed the Channel in the past week or so? Stand up Farage and take responsibility for the madness & the loss of life you've helped create.

Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia & Spain are all boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest should Israel take part. The European Broadcasting Union needs to ban Israel, as they did Russia in 2022.

People getting stopped by the Police for wearing "Plasticine Action" t-shirts. Yep, that's what Starmer's continuity Tory Govt has done. Utter madness. Oh & stop selling arms to Israel.

Fuhrage's private company has banned the flying of the Ukraine flag at the Councils it controls. Could there be a better sign that he's a Russian asset?

Dear media. It isn't "British" steel because: 1 - the Scunthorpe plant was owned by a Chinese company; 2 - various Govts have allowed plants in other parts of Britain to close, most recently the Indian owned plant in Port Talbot.

So, China has imposed a 34% tariff on all goods from the USA. Well, in 2024, the USA exported $13.35bn of oil seed, fruits, grain etc to China. Guess this doesn't bode well for the US agricultural sector. Great job Trump, you absolute idiot.

All economists today (I paraphrase) - Trump is an economically inept moron & everyone will suffer because of his idiocy.

Just watched a video on the cost of healthcare in the USA. So, I calculated how much tax I pay to fund the UK National Health Service. Context - I'm retired & live in Wales, UK. Annually, via tax, the NHS costs me £270 ($335 / €324). That's for all treatments, all drugs, everything.

After a weekend of watching international rugby galore, forget about the 6 Nations, Wales would struggle against teams in the Rugby Europe Championship (.div 2 in Europe).

This is the reality of Reform. They want healthcare via private insurance. A vote for Reform will seriously injure your health & pocket. 👇

We're still reaping the "benefits" of the Milton Friedman inspired Reagan/Thatcher economic nonsense, aren't we. Except now it comes with the added "bonus" of extreme right-wing populism/ fascism. What times we live in.
