But for the majority of people in Wales, they'll only focus on the referendum and the arguments for and against it when the refrendum is actually called. Until then it's only us junkies who bother ourselves with it.Hen Ferchetanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824537681698480500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-21329509841623556362008-12-23T22:38:00.000+01:002008-12-23T22:38:00.000+01:00rog - I knew about that, and its good.

The problem is that the nobody has been. Its been left to wither on the vine. I've probably campaigned more on this blog than has the Assembly Coalition Governemnt - which is supposed to be committed to it - and I've taken a lot of stick for that from fellow Tories too. Its been frustrating watching those wimps phaffing about with their silly little procrastination Commission, which is wasting a million of taxpayer's money just to cover Iuean Wyn Jones backside. Its bl**** pathetic. Fire your arrows at them.<BR/><BR/>P-man - There's no fault on newspapers. Its pathetic politicians who are usually to blame.<BR/><BR/>Anon - Brynle is one of the greatest Welshmen ever. He single-handedly brought the Blair Government to its knees - but I shouldn't think he's much of a dancer. Google him along with 'Fuel strike'.Glyn Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344589217554138315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-1647168766182825512008-12-23T18:17:00.000+01:002008-12-23T18:17:00.000+01:00Who is Brynle Williams?Who is Brynle Williams?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-13400085129366192732008-12-23T17:27:00.000+01:002008-12-23T17:27:00.000+01:00Maybe the bottom line is the controlling factor. ...Maybe the bottom line is the controlling factor. Meaning, newspapers have to sell to pay the bills to meet the expectation of owners to satisfy latent demand for what people want to read. It's all about money - all about meeting demand for what people want to read and making money for the newspaper owners. <BR/><BR/>There was a situation in Florida a few years back. A kid was smuggled into FL from Cuba, the mother died on route. She had taken the boy against the wishes of the boy's father, who was still in Cuba and had no intention of leaving Cuba. <BR/><BR/>President Clinton got caught up in the fight - local Cubans wanted the boy to stay, but his father wanted him back. Eventually the boy was given back to his father who travelled to Florida to take him back home to Cuba. <BR/><BR/>One newspaper was rabid about wanting the boy released to his father. Another newspaper was rabid about keeping the boy in FL and letting his mother's relatives, who lived in FL, to keep the boy. <BR/><BR/>It got ugly and then very ugly. There were street protests and scenes where people yelled in each other’s faces. <BR/><BR/>There was one FL paper that took the side of the mother's relatives, and another newspaper that took sides with the Father back in Cuba. Turned out that both papers shared the same owner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34112832.post-32676708452225439052008-12-23T11:03:00.000+01:002008-12-23T11:03:00.000+01:00I don't get the iea that there has to be a big pol...I don't get the iea that there has to be a big poll lead before we start campaigning for a Yes vote - isn't the whole point of a referendum campaign convincing people to make such a big lead?Hen Ferchetanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824537681698480500noreply@blogger.com
