This is just for those of little faith who were not inclined towards believing my shark fishing story.Many thanks also to my son’s young friends who have seen fit to defend my story telling integrity by providing irrefutable photographic evidence of m…

The Times reports that eleven Tory shadow cabinet ministers have benefited from secret and previously unregistered donations from wealthy backers. The cash was channelled from Tory headquarters and, in at least two cases the funding was from figures in…

David James Duncan, author of ‘The River Why’, has a deep understanding which can help people make some accommodation with the political forces that we are subjected to. Below is an extract taken from an interview done by the American publication Smokebox. You can substitute Bush for Brown and maybe start to have pity for […]

. . . to help less fortunate people in our land. Publicity has been started to promote organ donation. Here in our land, there are still people dying because sufficient donated organs simply aren’t available. Our nation has a reputation for assisting the underdog. Talk to your loved ones about this subject; find out who […]

. . . was on Radio Wales this week. It came on the heels of last weeks report on the massive waste of perfectly good foodstuff thrown away in Wales and the rest of these Isles. The scare-factor came from the statement that, in these days of recession, families have forgotten how to make excellent […]

. . . the FA Cup is in the offing. I understand that is some sort of sporting event. Cardiff City is involved, playing an English team, I’m told. There is no truth in the rumour that Cardiff has been asked not to win, so that England can have something with which to salve their […]

. . . for the game started weeks ago. Websites around the world were offering tickets, even though they didn’t seem to know where the game would be held! And only the most hardened of Cardiff fans would pay ten times the face value to get in. Certainly, if it was a Ceredigion team playing, […]

. . . and Cardiff’s supporters have come peacefully back into Wales, we should remember that not all “fans” are genuine: witness the behaviour of our Scottish cousins in Manchester this week! Those yobs who caused the trouble have never actually played Soccer nor any other sport, I’ll bet. Their punishment should be a month’s […]

A friend sent me a letter which he’s received from a company called ‘Vaillant’ which is in the gas-heating trade. It concerned his new central-heating system and contained the sentence: “With your FREE Gas Supply Pipe Cover you never don’t worry about what will happen if you do experience a leak as you’ll benefit from […]

I’d like to welcome a number of new Labour bloggers, and point you in their direction. I’d like to, but I can’t.Instead then, take a trip to Alwyn’s and Sanddef’s for a veritable outbreak of new Plaid blogs. I’ve added Plaid Wrecsam to my blogroll. Perhaps, like me, you could swap it for Alan’s, given this rather despicable post.

This appears in this week’s Golwg:
Hopes that a period of calm after the local government elections might help restore the Labour Party’s shattered standing have been crushed by last week’s Scottish independence referendum debacle. Like the 10p tax controversy before it, Labour’s ability to self-engineer crisis, as much as the crises themselves, is provoking despair among its MPs and AMs.

Judging from Iain Dale’s trip to Crewe & Nantwich, Tamsin Dunwoody’s prospects of becoming an MP next week are not good at all, and that leaves Gordon Brown’s fate hanging in the balance…

The current slump in the local housing market highlights how we can’t rely on the market to provide solutions to our housing needs. Just because developers are waiting to maximise their profits doesn’t mean people should be forced to live in inadequate…

I usually leave it to Mssrs ap Huw and Mouth to run the Welsh Blogosphere’s Welcoming Committee, but as it’s two Pleidwyr, I’d like to extend a shameless plug a warm welcome to Mssrs Dixon and Fowler, both of whom I’m sure will make a valuable contribu…

As you’ve probably noticed, OurKingdom has recently been migrated onto the main openDemocracy site, and from now on will be using the same Drupal technology as openDemocracy’s other specialist blogs (such as openRussia, and openUSA). This move comes at a time when openDemocracy itself is changing rapidly, and internally it made sense for OurKingdom to move onto the same platform as the rest of oD. It also gives us a lot more scope for technological improvements than WordPress was able to.
