Oh come on, I'm a member of Plaid and I don't think this was any more than a purely commercial decision by the Beeb. They wanted a central site with good transport links, and Rightacres offered them a good deal, that's all there is to it.

In any case, the British establishment aren't competent enough to operate a conspiracy against Wales, nor are they interested enough in us to want to do so, quite frankly.

Didn't Glyndwr burn Cardiff to the ground? Buggered if I think we should have a statue of him here.

Isn't a great that members of political parties can disagree? I don't know which branch you're in, or how active you are. The only Lyndon I know in Plaid is from Caerphilly. Is that you? I'm very active in Cardiff....

I take a very different view about the British State. But we can agree to differ, if you want, as there's no proof either way.

I'm a floating voter strongly considering Plaid and you're putting me off a bit to be honest. You do come across as threatening and aggressive.

I'm in the threatening and aggressive faction - we're a lot fewer in numbers than the "well-meaning" lot.

I know plenty of Welsh nationalists who think that Plaid have been fatally compromised by infiltration and will have nothing to do with the "Party of Wales".

I'm not one of those pessimists, but I do know that when you're up against the establishment and the British state, it is important to have fighters in your ranks; people who can't be bought and who have utter disdain for cosy, consensus politics.

Part of the reason that floating voters are attracted to Plaid is that the factIon that I'm part of has demanded change and pushed the agendas which we believe are most important.

Leanne's leadership is down to separate factions having overlapping aims and Leanne's personal qualities being congruent with many of these aims.

In any revolution - something that is unfolding slowly now in the UK - each side will have its workers, leaders, dreamers and fighters.

The only way I've "threatened" anyone is that I've said that I may quote Cambo Dai.

He is a public figure - he is on a tax advisory panel for the Welsh Governmnent - and he is very opinionated - and like all of us, sometimes very wrong in his analysis and assumptions.

My view is that if public figures say things which others find unpalatable, there should be no moral dilemma in disseminating their words to a wider audience.

I haven't done that, because Cambo/Randy may be regretting unveiling his identity on this forum, which means that I don't want to "expose" him - I'm not a bully or a creep.

All the same, if a public figure wants to make quasi-public pronouncements then they should be careful what they say. That is part of the price one pays for being a public figure.

Which, by the way, I am not, and never will be.

Been on the vodka and coke on your day off Damien? Or just the coke? I know that it is your day off from bean counting - but the devil makes work etc etc

As to bollocks, you are a renowned expert on talking - and writing - it. Get your own blog and see how many people "tune in"

Mixing alcohol and cocaine, incidentally, can cause heart and brain damage. Cocaethylene is a helluva by-product.

Paul, can we remove this guy from the forum? I don't look at CWM to see this sort of online abuse.

I've had a lovely bike ride over the bay today with my family. It was lovely. I generally don't drink vodka unless it has redbull or orange juice.

Thanks for asking. I had you enjoyed your day too.

I don't need a blog because I don't really have anything g to say. I'm not on a crusade nor do I want to change the world. I visit this forum for a bit of whimsy And nothing more.
