But the prospects of a Plaid Cymru-controlled Anglesey are just to awful to contemplate:- <br /><br />1.Plaid Cymru is pacifist - so that's RAF Valley gone or, as party traditionalists might prefer, burned to the ground.<br />2. Plaid Cymru is anti-nuclear - so that's Wylfa B gone for the chop.<br />3.Plaid Cymru is the only political party which contrives to be both socialist and fascist at the same time. <br />4.Plaid Cymru's declared aim is to "build a national community based on equal citizenship and the equal worth of all individuals, whatever their race or nationality". Sounds great, except that it doesn't appear to apply to English immigrants to Wales who Gwynedd Councillor Seimon Glyn famously wanted to place under strict numerical controls.<br />5. Plaid Cymru also wants to a "bi-lingual society by promoting the revival of the Welsh Language" This ignores the fact that the population of Wales, of course, had the great good sense to begin abandoning the Welsh Language at the back-end of the 19th Century and have continued to do so ever since.<br /><br />...So off it drifts, a backward-looking, Welsh-speaking, socialist, fascist, quasi-communist island where everyone is equal....equally poor.Richard Sletzernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-69234807946831269082011-11-29T00:02:15.920+00:002011-11-29T00:02:15.920+00:00MmmmMmmmCai Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349645242691098245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-10315582599636929992011-11-28T22:26:41.231+00:002011-11-28T22:26:41.231+00:00Cai - you're just going to have to trust me.Cai - you're just going to have to trust me.Paul Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021606156107333019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-34514804972522967642011-11-28T22:10:13.444+00:002011-11-28T22:10:13.444+00:00I suppose that it would be toomuch to ask for the ...I suppose that it would be toomuch to ask for the basis for your predictions.Cai Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15349645242691098245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-9389565264752168512011-11-28T21:26:45.538+00:002011-11-28T21:26:45.538+00:00As I've said elsewhere, we'd get a much be...As I've said elsewhere, we'd get a much better set of councillors if we stopped paying for them, boundary changes or not.<br /><br />So, come on residents of Anglesey, let's somehow work out how to get back to the past, the past when being a councillor actually meant something, when it meant being a public servant!kphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313438657508449613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130000348899973408.post-25115029215038860752011-11-28T20:07:51.112+00:002011-11-28T20:07:51.112+00:00The Boundary report welcomes alternate suggestions...The Boundary report welcomes alternate suggestions for names of the new wards.
