This blog has been set up to complement the Syniadau Forums.
Much of what will appear on this blog will also appear in the Syniadau Forums, but the emphasis on this blog is slightly different. The forums are focused more on the structures and institutions that Wales will need to develop in order to become a successful independent nation, arranged on a subject by subject basis, but the blog will have more of an emphasis on day to day political news and developments.
People are welcome to reply or leave comments either here or on the Syniadau Forums. If anyone wants to initiate a new subject they are very welcome to do so there.

Such a talent ,such a character -we could do with a few more
Dorian Grey?
Such an irony that the Giants of English literature, the ones who like Wilde, Shaw, Dylan Thomas and Rabbie Burns, the ones most often quoted, are in fact denizens of the Celtic Fringe!
These days, I find myself more drawn to a quote attributed to another Wilde (Jimmy) and who is only 188; but once said “the dirty bastard hit me after the bell”.
Sorry for the typo, that should have been 118.
