Pedryn Drycin: The Wales Bill: will Wales find its teeth?

http://pedryndrycin.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-wales-bill-will-wales-find-its-teeth.html

Saturday, 29 October 2016. The Wales Bill: will Wales find its teeth? It was refreshing to see Prof Richard Wyn Jones publish a direct, unequivocal and “excoriating” criticism of the Wales Bill in the Western Mail. This blog called it as it saw it nearly 18 months ago. Labels: Lord Elystan Morgan. 29 October 2016 at 10:45. Course theres nothing wrong with criticising a piece of legislation and seeking to improve it, and i certainly hope the tory government will take on board the views of people like Elys...

Wednesday, 8 July 2015. Protecting Welsh Place-Names: Discursive, Ethical and Regulatory Norms. National Assembly committees rarely get to consider questions of philosophical or theoretical interest while scrutinizing legislation, but the Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee had such an opportunity on Thursday last week. Questioned by Alun Davies on the scale of the problem, she reeled off a litany of recent changes to farms and cottages in Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire:. Committee membe...

Pedryn Drycin: Remain

http://pedryndrycin.blogspot.com/2016/06/remain.html

Saturday, 18 June 2016. I will be voting to remain in the European Union for the following reasons:. I have no problem whatsoever with immigration, whether from the EU or elsewhere. It is a sign of our prosperity not our impoverishment. What is more, I actually prefer the multi-cultural UK I live in now to the knotted-hanky and knobbly-knees UK I lived in 30 years ago. The EU has enriched my life and that of my generation immeasurably. Pluralism – that one size doesn’t fit all; that exception...Redistrib...

Tuesday, 20 September 2016. The Moral Imperative of a Second EU Referendum. But what they were actually voting for was an undetermined ‘change’ to the UK's formal relationships with the EU and the rest of the world. 8216;Brexit means […], and the British people support it’. But that didn’t happen. Nothing was defined, not even informally. The referendum mandate was therefore for ‘change’, but what on earth too? So we’re changing everything. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Reserved Powers: Wait and See or Full-Frontal Attack? I don’t know if Welsh TV and newspaper editors read Pedryn Drycin. 8221; etc., etc. “Not those on offer” was the First Minister’s reply, as he repeatedly declined to spell out the constitutional specifics of a ‘home-ruled’ Wales. In fairness to Carwyn Jones, it might just be political hara-kiri. The full meeting can be viewed here. Tuesday, 23 June 2015. Reserved Powers, Constitutional Crisis and the C&LA Committee.

Sunday, 28 August 2016. UKIP and the Conservatives open up new front in the pro-Britain/anti-Wales constitutional debate. So UKIP have finally shown their cards on Welsh devolution with Mark Reckless claiming that the Brexit vote will result in a decrease of support for the National Assembly. In the future, followed quickly by the Conservative leader in Wales, Andrew R. T. Davies, who has claimed that the people of Wales would reject devolution. If there was a new referendum “tomorrow”. But UKIP and the ...
