Fair play to Darren Millar raising this important point with regards the social problems facing North Wales and cheap accommodation. The same applies to Llandudno and the problems of hotels being used as permanent residences for many people fancying a new start in North Wales. Where is Betty Williams or Gareth Jones though? Nowhere to be seen or heard on this most important subject! "The AM fears...

Guto Bebb has sent a circular around about the MPs expenses issue and the desire to restore faith in the MPs. First thing that I thought was, not that old chestnut, just as the people were beginning to get over some of the most shocking examples of greed we have ever seen, he rakes the coals and made me think what a greedy load of Bastards most of them were! However as a reader of Guto's blog and also...

Have a few more, and don’t forget that VDH and I are giving you nothing like an unabridged list -- we are just scratching the surface: Howard Dean, on the eve of becoming chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said, “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for. This is a struggle of good and evil. And we’re the good.” Former senator John Glenn said of Republican...

If what I hear is true, wait till this hits the fan! I hope the councillors will be well prepared with a full explanation. The large premises on Madoc Street, formally 2 shops known as Bonjour coffee shop is soon to open as a glorified youth club, for those who have nothing else to do in the day. It will have computers,other facilities and soft drinks and snacks available, and be open I presume evenings....

When was the last time anyone heard or saw anything of Betty Williams? Beside this the following piece about her fact finding 16 day trip to Fiji and the area I have seen and heard nothing of her. When has she ever been seen on television being interviewed? She has to have been the most ineffective MP the constituency has ever had in living memory. She ranks as bad as Denise Idris Jones who was the...

Nice to see that Speaker an Tory drip John Bercow is getting tough on MP expenses and freebies: A group of MP and peers enjoyed a £65,000 jaunt to the South Pacific at the public’s expense. The delegation took business class flights for a 16-day visit to a number of South Sea islands. They stayed in a five-star hotel on Fiji for seven days and enjoyed the resort’s lagoon-style pool...
