You can't - I think it's a lemmy/feature of federation thing.

Use the search function for communities, posts or whatever.

Well I guess so, but they are still further left than the Starmfurher... Which is a plus.

So it begins. The defangng of Welsh Labour by the Westminster elite....

I am broadly in favour of independence, however not on the terms currently apparently promoted by Plaid - nationalism has limited use in the world today unless you are big enough and ugly enough to ignore what others might think.

Whatever the ultimate destiny of Wales, it won't be a success if we are lead by people blaming the current situation entirely on Westminster and refusing to engage with the larger nation next door.

There seems to be a tendency, here in the Valleys as well as in Wales at large, to abdicate "personal" responsibility - everything is someone else's problem (Westminster, local authority, police whoever can be conveniently blamed but never, ever, the locals or their actions) sadly, in the political arena, this plays right into the Tory playbook - they are masters of divide and conquer, having spent much of history doing just that.

The Welsh rosette is rather less blue than the English one... I remember when red and blue were distinct and different.

I suspect that many Welsh men who vote blue to get rid of "Dripford" would be horrified if their local authority were to go blue. Which is a distinct possibility if the anti-Tory vote is split.

So Plaid will team up with whom? Showing their true colours... Nice shade of blue that Ddraig goch!

That's what the National Savings Bank was... Shame it was privatised. Can't have the govt. making money!

Yup. The curse of the 'fair to middling'... Too well off for social benefits too poor to be able to ignore money...

Hi it's your long lost cousin Scratchy Bottom (dry valley west of lulworth cove) Our grandpa still lives in Shaggs (hamlet north of Lulworth) but grandma is in Shitterton (hamlet next to Bere Regis) ....

Au contraire...

They want to lose them so that the Starmfurher has to do unpopular things to counter all the seeds of disaster already sown, so that in 5 years time the Tories will be back in for the foreseeable future. You read it here first.
