This is Glyn Davies' Blog

This blog is about the random thoughts and opinions of Glyn Davies (me), Montgomeryshire politician (currently resting), countryman, farmer, lover of wildlife, sports fan, gardener, Welsh speaker, person with fingers in many pies and occasional public speaker. Subjects are whatever catches my eye, my ear and my sense of the ridiculous. It is not a blog about Lembit Opik, Liberal Democrat MP for Montgomeryshire, even though I will be his Conservative opponent at the next General Election. In general, all comments are welcome. I've been content to approve whatever comes within reason, whether they agree with me or not. The only comments I reject are those I think gratuitously offensive or which may be libellous. I have been content to approve comments about Lembit, but over the last few days, there have been a huge number of them, several very unkind, and several referring to matters about which I have no knowledge. To prevent this blog becoming unacceptably personal, I'm having to suspend temporarily approving comments which refer to the MP for Montgomeryshire. And I'm going to make an effort not to mention him myself, no matter how much I'm tempted. Sorry about this.

Chwarae teg i ti, Glyn. Mae angen bod yn garedig ac yn deg mewn gwleidyddiaeth. Llongyfarchiadau ar y blodau, gyda llaw.

It just goes to show you can't be too careful.

I think you're over-reacting here, Glyn. The fact that he's your opponent, and a weakened one at that, means you HAVE to talk about him. If the pople at large in the constituency are asking questions, then there's a reason for it, and you ought to be prodding on their behalf. You can't just bury your head and behave as if Opik does not exist because you want to somehow look dignified. We pay for Opik and his ilk. His behaviour is very much of concern, and I use the word advisedly, to us

Anon - Diolch.

Shelley - There's a time to careful, and a time to be bold.

Anon - Its nothing to do with me wanting to look dignified, though I consider that a worthy aim. Its that I don't want him to dominate my blog. And in any case, because I am his opponent, any comments I make will be dismissed as partisan. Its more effective coming from others.

Well done Glyn - I think better of you for it! Not a fan of his, but seeing comments on your blog about him is more likely to blacken your name than his, even if they don't come from you!

Gary - What on earth are you trying to say. No, don't explain.
