Nonsense verse by ......

..... our politicians, not content with wishing to order our lives, our very own Lords and Ladies of misrule at the Welsh Assembly are now taxing the shoppers and handing over the revenue to the shopkeepers themselves.

I wonder if the "Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing", a mouthful in itself, and her staff had thought things through, all they needed to do was outlaw 1 use bags that do not decompose, and let the markets do the rest.

Jane Davidson,the minister, is to retire and take up a sinecure with ..... I can't remember who .... but sooner rather than later please, you are very high maintenance.

An example for the Welsh ...

... Assembly, it is an example of how businesses are created, some grow, less prosper, a few become successful;  Howies is an example of success.


Before AM's speak of growing business in Wales, they might take the time to consider how this little company made the grade, it took a decade and a half, and the book is still being written, if there is an ounce of sense in the Cardiff Bay debating chamber they might like to look for a structure that could be applied in Wales.


We have "early years education" for toddlers, we need "early years business" for "ideas", the ideas that create prosperity, the prosperity that creates jobs, jobs that require education and training, education and training that needs teachers and mentors ...... get the idea, not a monolithic government organisation, a framework so that business can be supported (not subsidised) in the way it needs.

I don't understand ..

.. why other voles here on Skomer run away when I meet them in the hedgerow.  I just say "hi, have you heard the latest from Cardiff .." and all you can see are tails disappearing into the undergrowth.


Today I noticed in the news that the German firm "Bosch" is getting ready to up sticks and take back to Germany the 600 or so jobs from Miskin near Llantrisant, all's fair in love and war I guess, but this war hasn't been declared formally, its just in the small print ...


... you know the words, "when the going gets tough, the jobs go back to the homeland."  So says Germany's Angela Merkel, the Welsh Assembly on the other hand are unable to read any writing on any wall.


I wonder why they are so stupid ?
