Two lovely, well attended ceremonies of remembrance in our villages today. Red poppies to honour those that gave their lives that we may know some peace and white poppies to show we work for a lasting peace.

Calling for the violent overthrow of an elected government, and stating it's that or death.
What isn't "terrorism" about that?
Why isn't "Robinson" in custody?
Why isn't Musk being sanctioned?

A Community Right to Buy for Wales Give communities the right to buy local assets like pubs and parks at risk of being sold off.

Farage promises to build more jails
by Our Reform Correspondent
Nick Money

BRITAIN'S next prime minister, Nigel Farage, has vowed to expand the prison service to deal with the increasing lawlessness in Broken Britain.

Farage said it was imperative that we have more prisons to accommodate law-breakers such as Reform MPs.
Said Farage, "No, let me finish! We are looking at hundreds more Reform MPs after the next election, and with our vetting systems we are guaranteed to have a vast number of criminal members of Parliament, who have stolen public money or pushed their girlfriends down the stairs."

When asked how much all this would cost, the Reform leader explained in great detail that he didn't have a clue and couldn't care less.

Farage also promised to send the worst offenders to El Salvador, following a successful pilot programme sending Reform supporters to live in Dubai.

When so much of the media rolls out the comfy red carpet for Farage, Private Eye trips him up and milkshakes him.
Be more Private Eye.

I am not in favour of banning/proscribing Palestinian supporters for non violent direct action. I took action at Greenham common and Brawdy US base in South West Wales to protest against and try to prevent nuclear use and our populations being made a target. I would do it again.

Diversity, equality &!inclusion are core values of true socialism & Labour values. Don’t forget, equality legislation is about inclusion and fair treatment of everyone. Many that Reform would wish to recruit; Women, low waged, disabled, are still not treated equally. NO TO BLUE Labour
