I must confess I found it hard going as sufferer from Attention Deficit disorder trying to get into Adam Price's interpretation of Welsh history that he delivered to the Institute of Welsh politics last week. However I was not surprised by the negative comments that were found in the Wales online article that it was published in. considering some of the rather incendiary type of polemic that it contained....

JURIST - Paper Chase (Free subscription) | yesterday
[JURIST] UK government reports leaked on Sunday revealed many shortcomings in the country's involvement in the Iraq War, some possibly rising to the level of illegality. The documents show that the UK's plans for invasion of Iraq began secretly in February 2002, while former Prime Minister Tony Blair misled the public by saying there was no planned military action, but rather a plan for disarmament....

Che notes that excerpts from one of Rhodri Morgan's last speeches deserve a wider audience than simply being in the pages of the Western Mail. The outgoing First Minister's comments about Wales' increasingly internationalist image are more examples of why he will be fondly remembered, despite doing a number of things with which Ramblings disagreed like sitting on the fence and protecting Tony Blair...

In quite a vindictive and bitter appraisal, Peter Black has given his views on the speech delivered by Adam Price at last nights Institute of Welsh Politics lecture. I don’t know what has wound Peter up so much. Maybe it is his jealousy seeping through. Must be difficult seeing Adam receive glowing praise from the national media when Peter himself has never been deemed capable of performing at...

I’m still (thanks to DW) reeling from what can only be described as a quite astonishing ethno-nationalist diatribe delivered by the Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price.For students of the euphemistically labelled "cultural" nationalist theorists lurking throughout the United Kingdom today it’s a classic:1.The employment of what Conor Cruise O’Brien described as "ancestral voices"...

So far the response of the Welsh blogosphere to Adam Price''s lecture to the Institute of Welsh Politics in Aberystwyth has been a resounding silence. Even the Plaid bloggers seem a bit too embarrassed to do any cheerleading. The Western Mail of course has gone a bundle on their favourite son. What will they do when he goes off to America? But the comments on their website are not so generous with...

…… with his usual style, in 8491 words , belittled every achievement made by the people of Wales, according to this political failure we are little more than subjugated serfs with a colonial past, what a fool, does this parody of a Welshman deserve the title greatest fool in Christendom ? The industrial revolution received a certain vindictive appreciation, it was notable that the great...

"As nationalists the lesson is clear: we should each of us start to think and behave prefiguratively as if our nation is already free. We must be the Wales we want to create: a vibrant, self-empowering, dynamic country that emphasises the power of our own initiative." From Adam Price's lecture for the Institute of Welsh Politics on Monday night. We need to build up our confidence and our...

Since Labour’s sometime blog Aneurin Glyndwr (AG) is back up and running, it has taken the predictable pot shots at Plaid Cymru, Adam Price and the Conservatives, but its latest post shows why Welsh Labour has such a credibility and reality gap with business and why Wales’s GDP is the lowest in the UK because they still can’t see past the ‘radical socialism’ their party...

Fantastic news. Aneurin Glyndwr is back. After giving Labour a one day reprieve the welsh blogsphere’s political punch line, and a continued reminder that Peter Hain, David Taylor and Leighton Andrews are leading the party to terminal decline. Today’s breaking news, their first post in almost a month, notes that Adam Price is a success and has won a Fulbright award to go to America to study....

Edwina Hart's campaign manager Andrew Davies has called for Wales to lead the way in promoting co-operatives and mutuals, in response to what he deems the "catastrophic failure of the banking system". Considering he is the Welsh Government's Finance Minister, these comments are very welcome. Mr. Davies' speech that is quoted in the Western Mail article contains ideological references resonate...

MPs attacked the Press Complaints Commission last night after the regulator said there was "no new evidence" of widespread phone hacking at the News of the World. Its report was described as a "whitewash" and there was a promise that another inquiry, from the Commons culture, media and sport select committee, would be more rigorous. In a report published, the PCC also said it was...

I was delighted but not surprised to hear of another court victory against the council which casts doubt on the competence and integrity of Carmarthenshire County Council Planning department. Mr Nigel Humphreys has been trying to make safe and sympathetically convert an old mill in Llandybie, near Ammanford. All planning has been refused and is now subject to Appeal, to be heard in January. The mill...

Kim Howells calls for a withdrawal from Afghanistan is welcomed news. The former Labour minister is following the lead set by Adam Price way back in August when he put forward an early day motion on the issue. The Lib Dems have been flirting , incoherently at times, with the idea of coming out in favour of withdrawal. The more political pressure that can be put on the government now the better. The...
