Most of the Welsh never wanted devolution. And it is quite clear that no proposal for anything further will come before the Commons while there is breath in the bodies of almost any Labour (or, almost certainly, Lib Dem) MP from Wales.

It was interesting watching Newsnight Scotland a few days ago as they tried to find policy reasons for the abject failure of the Scottish football team. It's a bit of a tenuous link with a major time lag and it's hardly a new phenomenon when you think that Scotland are so awful that we have never got past the first round in the world cup.
