YouTube video by Ellie Blackwood Visiting 40+ Doctor Who Filming Locations in One Day

Earlier this year, I took a trip to south Wales to see how many Doctor Who filming spots I could find in one day. Watch my new video to learn what I discovered during my adventure through time and space ... and Cardiff! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRA7...

Nov. 2, 1925: A collapse of two dams in North Wales inundates a small village below, killing 16 people. Three loud booms are heard before a rain-swollen avalanche of 190 million gallons of water comes pouring from a hydroelectric project downhill onto Dolgarrag. 1/2

Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People - The Glee Club The iconic Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People season extravaganza is headed to Cardiff for the first time

We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money

Politico: "MPs should consider deleting X, according to a committee led by Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle...

"On social media, the report said MPs should feel “empowered to step away from platforms that pose more harm than benefit.”

Absolutely. Please get on with it.

Hi, in Wales it's this now: www.gov.wales/live-fear-fr...

Ahead of our next episode about candidate selection, this clip from the Fifth Floor / @walesgovernance.bsky.social event about the beneath-the-surface workings of Welsh Government features former Education Minister Kirsty Williams questioning whether the right people can, and do, enter politics:

Absolutely love it there but not been for a few years. Great photo

Devil's Bridge?

Yesterday, the people of Cymru mourned and commemorated the tragedy of Aberfan, where 144 people, including 116 children, died tragically from a preventable coal slip. This is how Neo-Nazi Group White Vanguard decided to respond to a post about the TRAGEDY: threats, jokes and anti-semitic dogwhistles ON A DAY OF NATIONAL MOURNING.

These thugs have nothing to offer the people of Cymru besides violence and hatred. They do not care that Welsh people continue to live in the shadow of coal tips, and they do not care that Welsh people continue to experience extreme poverty. The far-right do not care about the children who died at Aberfan; they do not care about the people of Wales. ¡No pasarán!

Ddoe, galarodd a choffodd pobl Cymru drasiedi Aberfan, lle bu farw 144 o bobl, gan gynnwys 116 o blant, yn drasig o ganlyniad i lithro glo y gellid ei atal. Dyma sut y penderfynodd y grŵp neo-Natsïaidd 'White Vanguard' ymateb i bost am y drasiedi: bygythiadau, jôcs, a chyfeiriadau gwrth-Semitaidd ar ddiwrnod o alaru cenedlaethol.

Does gan y lleidr hyn ddim byd i'w gynnig i Gymru heblaw trais a chasineb. Does dim ots ganddyn nhw fod pobl Cymru yn parhau i fyw yng nghysgod tomenni glo, ac nid oes ots ganddyn nhw fod pobl Cymru yn parhau i brofi tlodi eithafol. Dydy'r Dde Eithaf ddim yn poeni am y plant a fu farw yn Aberfan; dydyn nhw ddim yn poeni am bobl Cymru. ¡No pasarán!

The far-right do not care about the people of Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ✊

Today, we honour the 144 lives lost in the Aberfan disaster, 116 children and 28 adults. On October 21, 1966, tragedy struck when a coal tip engulfed Pantglas Junior School, devastating an entire community.

That's not the official department X account though, is it? @DHSgov is the main one at least, I think.

1 Nurse: It’s become a real problem in this area 2 Nurse: We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction 3 Show a building sign posted: Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it Nurse: Ministers, Spads, Researchers… 4 Nurse: Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely [Nurse on phone taking a call] Ok - we’ll be right over 5 Nurse: We just have a gentle chat [Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster Minister: I understand your concerns… 6 Nurse: Are you OK love? Minister: Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters 7 Nurse: That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian [Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters] Nurse 2: Give us your phone, love 8 Nurse: At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to [We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.] 9 Minister: YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR [woman looks baffled] 10 woman: I just want a bus service Minister: LOOK AT MY FLAG [produces a St George's flag] [ends]

Duzhe d’akuju - Diolch am y Croeso - what you've built is really special.

German far right setting agenda as opponents amplify its ideas, study finds Normalisation of far-right stances likely to affect success of such parties at ballot boxes across Europe, say researchers

There is now mountains of incontrovertible evidence that if you repeat, amplify and parrot the #FarRight then voters go and vote for *them* in numbers. Will any of the centre learn this before it’s already far too late?? All signs from Labour say point to no ☹️

Think we’ve crossed a pretty major threshold – and a very bad one – if a journalist working in the lobby for a major newspaper group can tweet like this without professional consequences.

I've just discovered there's a chip shop in Llangynwyd called 'Frying Nemo' 😭

Jacob. People like us. Murdered because they were dehumanised.

Is the position being argued here "Welsh Labour should have been clearer that their refugee policy was designed to mainly help white people"?

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨

😱Sounds outrageous?

You know the drill…

If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏

Faith leaders and Politicians standing together to bridge divides following Heaton Park attack and suspected arson on Peacehaven mosque.

Last night we welcomed the new Minister for Faith & Communities Miatta Fahnbulleh to our latest event of the Optimistic Alliance.

Hamas and Israel have agreed to implement the first phase of the Gaza peace plan. Qatari media says that includes the release of the 20 living hostages in one go. Sky News Arabia says it will also include an Israeli withdrawal from 70% of the Gaza Strip.

To be fair it's only breaking the law in a limited and specific way -- wait...

Politicians are using Ukrainian refugees as a political football.

The Welsh Conservative leader says he is against Wales' Nation of Sanctuary policy.

But this wasn't always his position...

It seems his morals have changed because he is worried about Reform taking his votes.

A human rights position is universal, requiring us all to extend rights and protections to those we disagree with

Yes, you can deny some groups are owed human rights, but only by denying their humanity

Moving to large scale sites won’t save money. The last government tried and it ended up costing more with people housed in unsuitable places. The cheaper and faster way to get out of hotels is to give leave to people who will either eventually get it anyway or who can’t be removed.
