Sue. The two people mentioned in that report about "Wales would be 40% richer today" are Jill Evans, MEP and Adam Price. I am told by friends that these two (both about 40) are the ones to watch in Welsh politics. Extremely clever, extremely committed. Jill is a Rhondda girl (like the Plaid leader Leanne Wood) and Adam has been in USA honing his political muscle. Leanne, Jill and Adam are three to really watch in next decade imho.

John - go bile your heid. You profess you do not understand my post - but then you never do - then I would say that your education did not do you much good, certainly not your grammar.

Wonder where you got your grant from?

Meanwhile, just a thought, if the Welsh become independant, if they're as passionate about it being Wales for the Welsh as John infers...someone will be skidding on the seat of his pants all the way back to Wolverhampton >>>>>>>>>

Suzanne. Your MP is Labour!!! Glenys Kinnock is from Holyhead and she is Labour and has helped to direct European money there. And teh County Council is being sorted out by Cardiff (Labour controlled) as we speak. So if the "Nationalists" (Plaid Cymru?) are in control, they must be bl***y good back seat drivers.

I think the maths have been done over and over. I was a cynic when I went to Bangor in the 60's and heard all this independence stuff. But I went through the maths in detail before I joined Plaid and I think personally there was no maths argument against then and none now.

Do you not think that if we ever approached the question of independence that your points would not be discussed very fully? And I am sure the maths argument will also be at the forefront of Scottish independence in next couple of years.

@Hayley-he thinks I want to rule Wales instead of him & his Druid lol

Our own Government in Cardiff Bay.
Our own Welsh TV channel
Loads of Welsh language books.
Eisteddfod still attended by huge crowds

Shortly, there wil be tax raising powers granted for Cardiff Bay Senedd.

That's a great start to a self supporting country, the Eisteddfod alone may keep a Welsh hospital running for a week or so-get real John

Will someone please wake me up when either the M4 is extended to the West Coast or b) the railway line is relaid between Carmarthen and anywhere within 30 miles of Cardigan?

Huge lorries pounding along the A and B roads on their way to the ferries to export Welsh products would destroy the roads within months. They aren't even maintained now.

Re coal, when Welsh prices rose in the 80s imports of Polish coal rose by gawd knows what percent. Even our Welsh neighbours were buying it. Each delivery came with stones which exploded on your open fire and produced red hot missiles travelling at warp speed which the kids had to dodge. Even with that in your hearth nobody wanted to pay extra for home produced coal.

West Wales airport? google the row that caused same with the tech park. Cardiff airport, they are stopping some flight routes. All that really bodes well for a self sustaining economy with inward investment doesn't it?

I could go on and on but I am knackered with all this thinking.

Chris. Am really not too sure what you are on about. Wales has moved forward an awful lot since the 60's when we were walked over (Tryweryn, slag heap removal by NCB, hardly any Welsh TV or radio etcetc).

Since then:
Our own Government in Cardiff Bay.
Our own Welsh TV channel
Loads of Welsh language books.
Eisteddfod still attended by huge crowds

Shortly, there wil be tax raising powers granted for Cardiff Bay Senedd.

And so far, the majority (including those who speak Welsh as their second language or not at all) seem reasonably happy about these changes. Many of them are Labour and Tory led, not always Plaid.

DR Robin Lewis talks about the English and colonisation.
colonisation means and correct me if im wrong. INVADING AND TAKING OVER.

ITS BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 6YRS, the local council have not had it removed even after several complaints to the local paper,but hey,this is north wales
