- The welsh pubic sector have pumped huge money into this one. Still loss making and stock hugely down on what it was when public money went in. It’s the way it is but seems so little scrutiny on these areas IQE posts improved year-on-year profitability www.insidermedia.com/news/wales/i...
- Posted this on then other place. Many seemed surprised so posting here The average reading age in the UK is around 9 to 11 years. Uk gov websites are written for a reading age of 9. I wonder if we should focus on raising our own national reading age a few years?
- I have a cunning plan re immigrants. Farage is a surname, believed to be of French Huguenot origin. It has also been used as an anglicised form of the Arabic surname Faraj. See where I am taking this 😉
- Reposted by CerithevikingLabour are teaching us that if you have over 400 MPs and are in the first year of government, so no need for elections until 2029, you should definitely focus your policies on what a party with five MPs is calling for, rather than doing what's best for the country,

- Reposted by CerithevikingYet again the Guardian overlooks the elephant in the room: £64 billion of public money is being spent on 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports over the next 25 years.
