"Croeso i ddyfnderoedd fy isymwybod: Welcome to the depths of my subconscious. Shark Fishing in Wales is one man's odyssey to understand the land of his birth through anecdote, observation and reminiscence! By learning about his country, perhaps he can learn more about himself. A process of individuation which Carl Jung suggests we should all go through. Less assuming one nationhood and more working towards one nationhood before we become Independent." Daf Williams

Yn nwylo Brydeinwyr
Cwestiwn i ddechrau. A fydd yr Iaith Gymraeg yn ddiogel yn nwylo Brydeinwyr? Bob deng mlynedd mae'r cyfrifiad yn datgelu fod yr iaith yn colli tir. Rydym yn edrych tuag at y Blaid Lafur a 'Our Man yn Nhredegar' 'i sicrhau bydd na miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050. Nod digon teg a canmoladwy gan Gymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg ond i drosglwyddo canran fawr o'r cyfrifoldeb yma i blaid sydd erioed wedi bod yn rhi’ brwdfrydig dros ei thranc yn ateb fy nghwestiwn gwreiddiol. Yn fy hanner cant o flynyddoedd mae wedi dod yn ddigon clir i mi na Llywodraeth Brydain yn rhoi ei hunan gyntaf a briwsion o'r bwrdd mae Cymru wedi cael erioed. Arberth gan Gwynfor Evans a Chymdeithas yr Iaith sicrhaodd Sianel Deledu yn yr Iaith Gymraeg ond ers 1982 mae nifer o siaradwyr wedi mynd ar ei lawr er gwaethaf y datblygiad yma. Tybed beth fasa wedi digwydd tasa na Llywodraeth Llafur mewn grym yn yr un cyfnod. Os ydy Plaid Wleidyddol ddim yn brwydro dros annibyniaeth i'w gwlad sut maent yn disgwyl i'r iaith frodorol fynnu gyda hi yn bodoli drws nesaf i'r iaith fwyaf pwerus yn y byd? Oni bai fod mwy o ddatganoli yn digwydd ble mae Cymru yn gyfrifol am fwy o bethau ac yn cael yr hawl i ddeddfu dros yr iaith ac yn rhoi'r iaith gyntaf bob tro fydd na ddim ffyniant. Gan ddatgelu'r nod yma, fydd perygl i bobol eistedd nol a meddwl bydd popeth yn iawn. Mi barhâi i fynych y capel ar eisteddfod a'r dafarn Gymraeg. Mi barhâi i Bleidleisio i Blaid Cymru. Beth arall rydych yn disgwyl oddi wrtha’i? Well gyda'r Alban yn chwifio'r saltire yn uchel ar hyn o bryd a dwylo'r Prydeinwyr yn arwain ni'r Gymru allan o Ewrop beth sydd gyda ni ar ôl ond datgan ein gwrthwynebiad yn uchel ac yn groch i Brydeindod. Mi fyddan ni yn cael ein llyncu yn gyfan gwbl gan Jac yr Undeb os fyddwn ddim yn ofalus. Yn rhannau o Gymru mae hon wedi digwydd yn barod. Oni bai ein bod ni yn rhoi tranc yr iaith ac annibyniaeth ein gwlad yn gyfystyr ai gilydd mi fyddwn ni gyd yn llenwi'r ceubwll gyda'r baw ci, sef pwnc hoffus Cynghorwyr lleol.

Care Co-operatives
Nobody should be making a profit from care. Period. If you see a Ltd behind the word care, alarm bells start to ring for me. If we have a National Health Service it follows that we should have a National Care Service but we don't we have a bitty service provided by private business people. Whilst their motives might be quite honourable they are in it to make a profit and this why I am proposing the idea of Care Co-operatives.
There are or have been too many sharks in the pool. We need to get the sharks out and provide for the tiddlers. Care staff should be on a guaranteed £10.00 an hour minimum wage enshrined in Labour and Trade Union Law because after all they might be looking after a Banker or Lawyer or Politician's elderly relatives. If a Council can afford to pay £15.00 an hour then £10.00 goes to the carer and the rest goes to overheads and mileage allowance. If a bank of care workers could be assisted to run a co-operative by agencies and not for profits then one or two can person the phones and do the admin while the others are out and about and then swop so the admin is done on a rota basis giving carers ownership of their team. These can be small scale or large scale. There is no place for business people or entrepreneurs in Care otherwise what legislation would there be to stop somebody opening a Care Home and a Funeral Directors right next door to each other.
