Usually when it's a Labour proposal. Maybe even ,"always".

Both still widely used in farming communities in the 1960s. So, hardly "ancient" methods as described on #r4today.

So jealous of Canadians who are now affiliated to the EU whilst we in the UK are not. All my Brexit angst surfacing yet again. 😥

#r4today Surely there is a long tradition of political commentary in popular music in the US. 1960s? Blues music? Anyeay, concert goers can always vote with their voices and their feet. Literally not a "captive audience".

#r4today Good to have a mention of the Eisteddfod although glum about our language. The reality is far more complex ...and encouraging. Tens of thousands immersed in Welsh on the Eisteddfod "maes" this week. "Yma o hyd"

The Business of War: Who Really Benefits From Britain’s Planned Military Spending Surge?
As the Government gears up for a military spending bonanza, Iain Overton asks whether Britain is really defending its territory, or simply the profits of the global defence industry

Surely it was because the guard who had to watch the tide and shut the gates to keep out the flood was asleep ( or drunk?). That's how I remember tge story we were told.

#r4today Nick devoting a lot of airtime this morning to Andy Burnham. Getting into the groove of tearing down the new Labour PM. Pretty sure he didn't do this for the sequence of Tory PMs we had to endure.

Unfortunate...not a good look when the "jobs for the boys (girls)" has been a recurring criticism of Welsh politics.

Astonishing how appealing any hint of an "establishment conspiracy " can be. Clearly meant as a trigger for Reform voters.

"The Return To Iron Mountain" worth a read ..." the establishment" is such a trigger for conspiracy peddlers.

If only no journalists turned up for Farage's 2pm announcement. It would be so good to be rid of him.

I suspect his main aim is to scatter alms to the North. Not much interest in other parts (for now) of the UK.

Reading Macmillan's diaries...he seemed to read Scott or Austen in an evening in between dealing with parlt.papers etc. Astonishing.

Unsurprising that The Telegraph should feed the climate crisis sceptics. 1976 was nowhere near this hot. Drought was the real problem, not extreme heat.
