My sincere apologies Dave; I jumped to a wrong conclusion from you're first entry.  :-[
No problem, mate, I've been called worse things than a LibDem in my time...but not very often!  _))*

Please don’t put your faith in Plaid. Our local Gareth Jones OBE AM sat in my lounge just before he was elected and told me to my face and I Quote "Well we don't really want the Tourists here do we"  ))* and at a pre arranged meeting at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the Imperial Hotel with our Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones A M he actually had the audacity to fall asleep right there in front of us.  ))* ))* No way, Jose. In a past life I was proud to be counted amongst the 23000 who stood up and helped put Martin Bell into Westminster to represent us  >>> The only way forward is to vote in at every level of representation an Independent Candidate

Thats utterly hilarious, imagine the mind-numbing stupidity of a man saying to a hotelier...''we don't want tourists here do we?''   L0L _))*

What the Plaid councillors seem to forget (and I am thinking of one in particular) is that the vast majority of people in this town originally came here as tourists at some stage in the past. (Including him)... but they are too stupid to realise that.

Gareth Jones is a former Headmaster of Ysgol John Bright, so can hardly be called stupid (I would hope).

Well, if you look at what BlongB says.... its hardly the most intellectual of remarks by an ex-headmaster is it?

''Certain'' Plaid representatives remind me of the vast majority of BNP candidates in this respect..... ''some'' have a 'hot-headed' and nationalistic basis to thier beliefs,.. but once elected have no idea how to administer basic elements of local government such as street lighting or waste management.
There is more to being in high office than just hating outsiders.... but it can often get you the vote!

Maybe the answer to our problems is to import the Scottish National Party with Mr Salmond et All.    L0L

At least it would put a new perspective on politics in Wales.    *&(

In my experience, the most ardent Welsh nationalists are those which weren't born in Wales.  :o

Gaz Grecian we called him, due to his grey hair (Grecian 2000 shampoo)

I see from Jason's blog that Cllr Peter Kraus has been suspended for 12 months from Conwy Town Council:

"The case tribunal found that Cllr Kraus on five occasions failed to show respect and consideration for others and used foul and abusive language, aggressive behaviour and insulting comments. "

After all, Owen Glyndŵr, Welsh hero, was after all nothing more than a Yorkist rebel fighting for his own ends  $wales

Is Gareth Jones the same person who started at JB at the same time as Hoppy?
