PCC too, although they're obviously not long for this world.

By some margin, I would add.

Did the pub get named yet? I need to know where to avoid!

Bookies follow the money, they'll adjust their odds according to who is betting on what. That's it, they don't know anything more than anyone else.

Are you getting up to the north? Kazbegi is one of the best places I've ever been I think.

Genuinely sounds like an episode of W1A (which was great television).

He's earning 80k a year from the Senedd and he'd never get elected in England.

Looks like Clarkson blocked me for asking this. Israeli propaganda and use of the passive voice is pervasive that even intelligent, Very Sensible people are still using it three years into an actual genocide.

Plenty of people on the left were critical of Hamas' attack three years ago. But we shouldn't have to reiterate that criticism every single time we criticise the Israeli government three years on.

Just curious, what would the Israeli government have to do for you to describe their actions as "vicious brutality"?

Of course, but how many of the others have been handed capital city status? I'm not saying it would have been radical growth, but you'd think things would have gone at least slightly differently if it were named capital in the 1950s.

You'd think if Aberystwyth was chosen in the 1950s it would have evolved quite differently over the past 70 years though, no?

We would have had better infrastructure across mid-Wales had it been chosen. Personally if we're looking in that neck of the woods why not go for Machynlleth though?!

Glad you had a nice time but it's hardly some David v Goliath story when you've got an oil rich nation state behind you 🥲

I know the wording on the amendment is unequivocal, but this isn't a guy that plays by the rules. I'm not saying it'll necessarily happen but I agree with Pete that the assumption he won't even try seems bizarre given his track record. He is 100% going to try.

What do you mean? Where's the mechanism to stop him? He secures the Republican nomination, gets put on the ballot paper. What then? Legal challenges? The Supreme Court has already been more than willing to do his bidding.

I've had the flu jab at Boots in town before, not sure if they'd do it on Cowbridge Rd

By November everyone will wonder why it was any ever different while those of us that risked our lives cycling down it will carry the scars until our dying day.

Great thread. I think Michael Rosen said let them read whatever they want, as long as they're reading. Our kid loves reading instruction leaflets, manuals, whatever. As well as actual books, of course.

Surely this doesn't need to be said but you're enabling fascists you are not centre left, 'ostensibly' or otherwise.

Be sure to check out Bier Market next time, best range of lambic I've seen outside Belgium (and a huge amount of other stuff as well).

I have no problem with people responding, what are you even talking about? I engaged with you in good faith and you were wondering why I posted it...I could ask the same about literally any post on your own account, surely?

Peoples mentalities have shifted so much, when I moved to Walthamstow in 2007 colleagues turned their nose up (presumably they remembered it from the 80s) when it was already quite nice. Now it's unrecognisable even from then. Tbf, the 1970s was really quite a long time ago now.

Is this your first day on the internet? People say stuff on here all the time. It's not that deep, a lot of us are just thinking out loud.

I'm not sure I would say I was lamenting it, just stating observations. I also didn't say I'd prefer they remain so, just that I'd rather my political leaders didn't prioritise it as you suggested. I'm not sure it's the job of the Welsh to educate anyone else when we've enough to be dealing with

100

I'd prefer they focus on governing effectively and, in the case of Wales, developing our own national media tbh. Not sure it'd do much for the people of Wales to have English people more aware of what is going on, unless it somehow resulted in fairer investment here.

Update: I have been listening to the latest couple of Neil Young albums which are...a bit patchy. I always go back to Prairie Wind, which is an excellent Neil Young album.

I've no real opinion about the America part, the US dominate our media and culture so it's not massively surprising. But I'd wager a lot of people know more about the politics of Germany or France than they do about the politics of Wales, too.
