Yesterday

The Shark Fisherman was awake all night with headphones in his fish like lugs listening to the coverage of the National Assembly Elections 2016. After listening to Liverpool beating Villarreal on Radio 5 live, I turned over to BBC Radio Cymru at 10.00pm. The Presenters could have turned up for work at 2.00am thus saving 4 hours salary of each pundit and politico but that is churlish. Listening to BBC Radio Cymru is akin to what I imagine it was like listening to broadcasts by the French Resistance during the Second World War. We, the minority tongue, in the country that bears that languages name were huddled around the old bakelite radio and what news we heard. I was supporting the Greens this time around because of the overlord of darkness, the right royal pain in the arse Lord Arglwydd Dafydd Elis Thomas. I was disappointed for Plaid Cymru because he was returned for Dolgellau, Aberdovey and surrounding boroughs and launched the independent voice salvo in his acceptance speech.  Another nemesis of the Shark Fisherman got a right royal kick in the pants in Blaenau Gwent and it was a pleasure to hear him squirming in an interrogation by the Gestapo in the shape of Dewi Llwyd, who said that it was a personal statement on him that he had dropped a majority of almost 9,000 from the last time. He failed to mention in reply that he had been a slippery bastard who was not to be trusted. If you wish to learn why the Shark Fisherman hates this git so much click by ere! The night got better when we heard that the chauffeur driven Leighton Andrews was required to take a taxi away from the count in the Rhondda. This was a major achievement and hearty 'llongyfarchiadau' to Leanne Wood who I hope will realise her dream of becoming First Minister one day. Adam Price had an excellent victory in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr and congratulations to him, obviously the Tory placards in the middle of Llandovery had no effect. My concern that the Liberals were going to take Ceredigion were unfounded. Kirsty Williams as leader won the Mrs Royal Welsh popularity contest but will be alone in the chamber wearing yellow. 
Disappointment in hearing that the Purple Meanies namely UKIP will be there in force getting in through the Regional list. 
As a Born Again Green I am 'siomedig' that the people of Wales are more concerned by what is going on in their own back yard than by Climate Change but then again they always were a contrary lot. Blydi Nimbys the lot of em!
