@dylanllyr @Sian_Parry This tweet has really brought out the very best of Wales, hasn’t it?
English
I agree with this, but as a Welshman, I'd prefer English. There are perhaps 3 farmers and a dozen sheep in Wales that speak only Welsh, so it's pointless (they'll vote Plaid, anyway.) The reading of the Senedd election results was ridiculous with the duo doing the English/Welsh bit.

If you're standing in a British election, you should be campaigning in English, or in another of Britain's national languages. How can we have a proper debate when some candidates are campaigning in languages most of us simply can't understand?
English
@stueymaco @Sian_Parry Would you be more convinced if we didn't bother learning English? Or would you just find a way to whinge about that as well?
English
@Sian_Parry It’s not. Look, I appreciate your patriotism, but this is pointless. Nobody in Wales speaks only Welsh. That’s just a fact and I’m sorry it upsets you.

This is pathetic. The man’s spend his life shovelling people’s shit. Let him crack a joke about it, FFS.

@ClwydEnComu @zoekennedy Don't be so bloody gullible man. It's exactly the same playbook as 2020!

I think we’ve genuinely learnt nothing from Covid. Even if it’s a low risk of spreading, the virus is in Wales now.
The idea that those passengers (bechod) were allowed to fly home on commercial flights to *self-isolate at home* is bonkers to anybody who has a 6-year memory.

@tayzthecreator @ifanmj I've searched for this in my podcast app but all I can see is their series on the 2020 US presidential election. I can't see an RSS feed anywhere for their current episodes. Any idea?

We need a few more Welsh politics podcasts. So desperate for another fix of post-election political analysis on my walk I listened to Holyrood Sources.

@Lockdownlover6 @CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul Yes, because you're a weak weirdo and pretending to get people's names wrong is all you have. Whatever.

A short family story about Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth - clearly destined for politics from a VERY early age - as told to me yesterday by his (exceptionally proud) father Edward

@Lockdownlover6 @CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul The name he uses is the name he has and the only name he's ever had. The explanation is in the thread I quoted. You already know it, you're just pretending to be extremely stupid because you're a weird freak.
English
@dylanllyr @CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul Im just asking a straightforward question. Is he embarrased of his name? Does it sound too English or does he think he is rhun the great or something?
English
@Lockdownlover6 @CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul I know, I get it, you feel weak and helpless, and refusing to use your perceived political enemies' proper names is the only way you feel you can project any sort of power over them. Whether you're actually this thick or just pretending, that's all this silly charade is.
English
@dylanllyr @CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul So it is ron jones then

@20NPHartleyHare What point are you trying to make here? Be as specific as you can

@CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul Why does it matter? Anyway, he's addressed this (e.e. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…) His parents didn't want to include the Jones but the jobsworth registrar wouldn't allow it. Neither he nor his parents ever used it afterwards.

@ClwydEnComu either that or the e-mail has gone to the spam folder

@ClwydEnComu I think it's clear now that the King of England is playing for time while he gathers his armies and prepares to march west

@CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul It's not an affectation, that's the point. There's no ambiguity, there's nothing to discuss. His name is what it is, and the people trying to cast doubt on it are being weird and stupid and unpleasant.
English
@dylanllyr @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul It only matters if it's an affectation, like Farage and "Farrige" as it's often pronounced. I, like many ppl, know very little about the new FM, some of PC voters I've spoken 2 didn't know his name at all. I'm teasing out if he's genuine or another political chancer.
English
@CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul This refusal to use perceived enemies' proper names is a fascinating phenomenon. We saw it a lot with Obama. It's a common tactic among very stupid and/or xenophobic people who see it as the only way they can attempt to project some sort of power over politicians they dislike.
English
@CamdenVoyager @TonyMer74881043 @gazer117 @adavies4 @MackesonPaul The Ron thing is just stupid, and pretty ugly. Rhun and Ron are pronounced completely differently and aren't even cognates. Two completely unrelated names. If you see anyone throwing around the idea that he's "ditched" that name to "sound more Welsh", you're dealing with an idiot

Political speech in English: Hard working families. Let me be clear. Reaching across the aisle.
Political speech in Welsh: Allow me to quote an inter-war pacifist poet from Pembrokeshire... who my entire audience will be familiar with...

I'll vote for any party that promises to radically reduce the role of consultations in British public policy.

@NathanJRobinson @EricLevitz It is in fact important to treat tankies/campists with maximum contempt

@EricLevitz just what the world needed, another article about The Problem With Hasan Piker
English
The problem with Hasan Piker isn't that he's an anti-Zionist. It's that he's a campist.
Too often, his commentary is a mirror image of what it claims to oppose: If Washington’s jingoists downplay or rationalize the crimes of America and Israel, Piker does their adversaries the same favor.

Really good on shoddiness of progressive NIMBY arguments against energy projects ("just put it on rooftops" etc).
Section on community energy very relevant to current Welsh election debate where it's been used to dodge real trade offs & tough questions on energy policy.
