will hold its first meeting at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on FridayWhat a bloody depressing cliché. They may as well have launched the Commission down The Big Pit or on a mountain farm where the farmer had been arrested for shagging his sheep – if the Millennium Stadium is their starting point, we may as well accept that the ending point will be a report full of platitudes and bereft of substance.
If the Commission had any intention of delivering a visionary way forward for Welsh governance and finance they might, at least, have launched their consultation in the memorial hall of a deprived community or in the canteen of a thriving company. Either would have shown some appreciation of the needs of Wales.
Launching in the spiritual home of the 80 minute patriot bodes ill for the value of the Silk Commission!
It's not so much the launch that matters, but the destination. Unfortunately its voyage has been mapped out by Cameron to ensure that the Assembly and the Welsh Government remain puppets of Westminster.
ReplyDeleteVote Labour (in Wales) get Tory.

ReplyDeleteWere we really expecting anything else from the Commission? Its an empty gesture dressed up as something important to delude an ever gullible welsh electorate into thinking the Tories give a toss about Wales.
