Happy Families






Well before this rag time razzamattaz referendum I had never heard of the United Kingdom being called a family of nations before but then I have led a very sheltered life but we all know about families don't we? We all know about families and their secrets? So who has England been playing all these years? The Domineering Matriarch, the Bullying Patriarch. Scotland is the snotty nosed, street urchin who flicks the two fingered salute to the pomposity of Westminster. This is not anti-English which ever way you want to square it. This is about Anti-Westminster. After Scottish Independence has been announced on friday, a new Facebook page will be set up called 'Cockneys against Westminster'. Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool will all fall to proportional representation because its fair and it makes sense. Why should a geographical, class based elite be running the affairs of people hundreds of miles away. As a wee shark fisherman off the coast of Wales I am quite happy to sit and wait like a garden gnome for an Independent Wales. I don't care when it happens as long as it does happen. Today is Owain Glyndwr day that's why and if you don't know who he is, you'd better 'ap google' it or 'ap wikipedia' it. Dydd da i chwi teulu dedwydd!
