The you can tell us what she said.<br /><br />I'm with Leanne all the way on embargoing weapons for Israel. It is where the US tests its latest weapons and drones on real people. The BBC doesn't publicise the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza by these unmanned weapons nearly every week. It is too busy grovelling and harping on about this royal or that - and their military passions.<br /><br />Wales could well do without all the British bases here. The UK spends a huge amount of money on destructive conflict. All of them have left the world in a worse state. It is one very good reason for independence.<br /><br />Btw Jonathan and Adam both support Leanne's candidature - as do I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-71024237407227639632012-02-12T21:00:17.767+00:002012-02-12T21:00:17.767+00:00A friend of mine who knows ParcAberporth *very* w...A friend of mine who knows ParcAberporth *very* well commented to me:<br /><br />"where for example is there room for six to be employed at WWA, (there is only the control tower!) or are they all part-timers (one at a time) or are they at head office at Ross-on-Wye?.<br /><br />4 employees at UAV centre....I've only ever seen 2.<br /><br />As for the other 30-35 Watchkeeper employees? .....I don't suppose a single one was resident here before the testing started."<br /><br />As for Leanne Wood on military UAV testing at ParcAberporth, can anyone point me to a vote, a statement, a quote, or anything where she, personally (not Adam Price or Jonathan Edwards) opposes it? <br /><br />The article quoted above merely says:<br /><br />"Plaid Cymru AM Leanne Wood called on the Welsh Assembly Government to back an embargo on providing export licences for weapons to Israel.<br /><br />Which is not the same thing at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-81066661092127365092012-02-12T11:56:45.258+00:002012-02-12T11:56:45.258+00:00Anon 20.11,

A general 'service bus' going round corners was horrific- and yes it took over four hours. Ridiculous. <br /><br />I hope the new service is faster, doesn't stop in every single place and gives the good people of Aberystwyth a decent service to Cardiff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-58628821104123512462012-02-12T08:50:13.492+00:002012-02-12T08:50:13.492+00:00I don't live very far from Parc Aberporth.

This has pre-empted WAGs announcement of who would with the TrawsCymru service on the X40 route. What will happen with the X50 is up in the air.<br />The new service info is here: http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/serviceInformation.aspx?id=17010&r=Wales<br /><br />Also the new TC service between Newtown – Cardiff has received new buses which you can see here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gcbp/6776197549/ Looks very interesting.<br /><br />TrawsCymrus website is: www.trawscymru.info<br />Theres also a good deal of info on this forum, in the last two pages: http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=53747Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-31428768130970398162012-02-11T18:57:01.327+00:002012-02-11T18:57:01.327+00:00It's all about closing the gap from what we ea...It's all about closing the gap from what we earn to what we need to earn.<br /><br />Why the hell would anyone want to stop us doing that?<br /><br />The only logical conclusion is that it is in their bes interest to stop us doing that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11475962539522399975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-15622231355620188622012-02-11T17:46:24.266+00:002012-02-11T17:46:24.266+00:00I agree with you that energy decisions should be d...I agree with you that energy decisions should be devolved to Wales, as they already are to Scotland, Mairede.<br /><br />It is entirely possible for all our electricity consumption needs in Wales to be produced from renewable sources. I wrote two lengthy posts with the figures in <a href="http://syniadau--buildinganindependentwales.blogspot.com/2011/06/tan-8-and-devolving-energy-to-wales.html" rel="nofollow">June</a> and <a href="http://syniadau--buildinganindependentwales.blogspot.com/2011/07/flapping-in-wind.html" rel="nofollow">July</a> last year. In essence, we are already on course to provide more than all the electricity we need from wind power alone when windfarms in the round three offshore zones in the Bristol Channel and Irish Sea are up and running ... i.e before it is realistic for any new nuclear power station to have been built. <br /><br />This doesn't take into account the huge potential for tidal power. I wrote about why we should be building tidal lagoons <a href="http://syniadau--buildinganindependentwales.blogspot.com/2010/10/why-wales-should-build-offshore-tidal.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and there are of course other renewable resources too. <br /><br />In "A Low Carbon Revolution" the Labour / Plaid Cymru One Wales Government set as an aim "to renewably generate up to twice as much electricity annually by 2025 as we use today". And even the 2011 Tory Manifesto aimed for Wales "to produce 100% of our energy needs from renewable sources by 2025. We will aim to achieve 70% delivery by 2020." Details and links <a href="http://syniadau--buildinganindependentwales.blogspot.com/2011/08/unambitious-plans-of-simon-thomas.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. So being able to produce all the electricity we consume from renewable sources without needing any electricity from nuclear energy isn't an issue on which the major parties in Wales are in much disagreement.MHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329059309196746446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-56437484273029765112012-02-11T15:29:29.790+00:002012-02-11T15:29:29.790+00:00I trust that this article will reassure you about ...I trust that <a href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Evidence+from+Amnesty+International+implicates+Wales+in+Israeli+human...-a0192417273" rel="nofollow">this article</a> will reassure you about Leanne's position on UAVs at Parc Aberporth, Webswonder.<br /><br />However this <a href="http://www.bepj.org.uk/mps-ams-uavs-and-jobs" rel="nofollow">article seems</a> to show that Elin Jones supports it. <br /><br />Adam Price is also quoted in that article, but as being highly critical of it. Adam is one of Leanne's high profile supporters ... so it's hardly surprising that they think the same way.MHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329059309196746446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-38491491014381562842012-02-11T15:15:33.734+00:002012-02-11T15:15:33.734+00:00Anyone who cares about Wales has got to call for t...Anyone who cares about Wales has got to call for the decisions about energy infrastructure to be taken locally. So energy infrastructure developments above 50MW have to be taken in Wales, at the moment that is not the case as the ultimate authority to take these decisions rests with the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. His energy policy will be interpreted by the National Infrastructure Division within the Planning Inspectorate.<br /> <br />However, if authority were to pass to Wales for these decisions, it is then essential to be realistic about Wales' requirement for energy and how that might be provided.<br /><br />At the moment, according to 'A Climate Change Risk Assessment for Wales', published in January this year, just 3% of generating capacity is currently from wind in Wales. Although the document is not very precise or clear, my understanding is that is from both on and off-shore wind.<br /><br />So you have to ask what does Plaid consider it is realistic to use in place of nuclear?mairede thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985080357558043054.post-42217342801406891852012-02-11T09:47:34.203+00:002012-02-11T09:47:34.203+00:00Prominent politicians only get where they are by d...Prominent politicians only get where they are by ditching principle for party and the greasy pole.<br /><br />Before the general election, and even at the Aberystwyth "peace hustings" Mark Williams, LibDem MP for Ceredigion stated that he was against the use of ParcAberporth for military drones.<br />http://tinyurl.com/7y28n2h <br /><br />Since being re-elected, I have not heard one word from Mark Williams condemning the fact that ParcAberporth is being used *exclusively* by the military, the civilian UAV project having failed.<br />http://tinyurl.com/76fshzh<br /><br />Perhaps I'm being too harsh and we should cut Williams some slack. After all, for LibDems, hypocrisy has become a way of life....<br /><br />I have Tweeted both Elin Jones and Leanne Wood on ParcAberporth but they appear to be ignoring the subject.
