The information I gain from Social Media is biased, about 80% of the people I follow on Twitter are members / supporters of Plaid Cymru , the SNP or Mebyon Kernow. I have a bias towards family and "real" friends on Facebook but many of those are political too.
When the Daily Mail made it's disgusting slur about Ed Miliband, his father and his wider family in 2013, most of my nationalist friends / followers supported Miliband and expressed their revulsion at the way he had been unfairly treated by the extreme right wing press.
On Wednesday, when a very dodgy report about a Plaid Cymru Candidate, who is an English born and bred incomer to Wales was stigmatised for opposing BNP white flight incomers to Wales as "calling all English in Wales Nazis" Labour members and supporters jumped on the bandwagon to vilify him.
Today's very odd slur against Mr Miliband in the Daily Mail which seems to amount to an accusation that "a young man had many girlfriends – shock horror" has been almost universally condemned on my social media timelines by nationalist friends.
That is an important difference between Plaid Cymru and Labour - Plaid is opposed to mudslinging in any direction
Labour just opposes mud thrown in it's direction but is always happy to throw it back!
Hypocrits!

Vote Labour - Vote England
I have had an interest in electoral politics since the 1970s. I can't believe that was 45 years ago! Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying your elections?
During the whole of that time I cannot remember a single general election (or other election) where the Labour party hasn't tried to blackmail the electors with the same old mantra Vote Liberal get Tory, Vote SDP get Tory, Vote SNP get Tory, Vote Plaid get Tory etc.
Electoral statistics show that to get a majority Labour needs to win in England, it doesn't depend on the Welsh and Scottish vote. In 1951, 1955, 1959, 1970, 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1992 Wales gave massive support to the Labour Party, but still got a Tory government. If Wales had voted for 40 Monster Raving Loony MP's in 1997, 2001 and 2005 we would still have suffered Tony Blair's Labour Government.
If you are a Labour supporter don't waste your time canvassing in Wales, English marginals are more important to your cause / gravy train.
The sad thing about the Vote SNP get Tory, Vote Plaid get Tory crap, isn't the historical inaccuracy or the slogan, but the full stop! Plaid and the SNP stand to get the best for Scotland and Wales. If Labour went further than the full stop and explained how Scotland and Wales would benefit from voting Labour they would lose votes in England and absolutely scupper their ability to form a government – voting Labour is not in Wales' or Scotland's best interest.
The Labour deal seems to be please vote Labour so we can win in England -for England's beneft. Labour offers nothing for Wales!

Labour's Problem with the Patriotic English Working Class
In the days when the Lord Chamberlain's office use to have to censor the morality of stage productions one of the ways in which the Music Hall, in particular, and other production companies use to avoid censorship was by the use of the double entendre A phrase, saying or sentence that can be interpreted in two different ways. One of which is usually dirty. A classic example would be the Mari Lloyd song She Sits Among the Cabbages and Peas a song which is clearly about a lady gardener. If you can see a less innocent meaning to the words it is because you have got a dirty and corrupted mind, and if you have a dirty and corrupted mind you are not fit to be an arbiter of public morality.
And therein lays a problem with the Labour response to Emily Thornberry's controversial tweet:
The picture IS just an Image from Rochester, that the Labour Party, as a whole, can see a double entendre in the picture - that is so damaging that it has lead to Thornberry's registration / sacking, revels a great deal about Labour's corporate thinking about those who live in terraced houses, work in white van jobs, are proud to be English – that they saw the "joke" reveals as much about the rest of the Labour party's thinking as it does about Ms Thornberry's.

Bugger Blogger
My number one reason for not supporting Labour was supposed to be published automatically at 8 am on Thursday Morning, for some weird reason it appears to have been published 2 days late!
Apart from blogger making a balls up I also, inadvertently left numbers 10 and 28 out of my 101 reasons for not supporting Labour.
That is a problem easily resolved:
10) Glenys Kinnock being elevated to the Lords (amongst many others to fill the Labour ranks). Gordon Brown seems to think that every Lord he selects is an addition to the talents that the government can call on. He appears to be stuffing the Lords with Labour supporters in a way that would have embarrassed any Tory government and even Lloyd George. (Plaid Lords still not approved, of course)!
28) When I made my comments about the abuse of Civil Liberties I noted:
It appears that the situation is worse than that. Apparently the police have been instructed to arrest, without sufficient evidence, children who they think might be potential criminals in order to harvest their DNA!

101 Reasons for Not Voting Labour # 2- 9
Some odds and sods to finish of my penultimate post on reasons for not voting Labour
2) Gordon Brown promises British Jobs for British Workers, but fails to deliver.
3) Labour MP's condemn those who took Brown at his word for being racist!!!
4) Keith Vaz MP condemns the video Game Canis Canem Edit (Bully). Vaz thinks the game should be treated like a violent film and should go before the British Board of Film Classification or be banned completely. It is actually a game that a parent can play with teenage children and use to tackle issues of bullying, from both a victim and perpetrators point of view.
5 (For Peddu) Irene James
6 10p tax fiasco
7 bitchy blogs that do more harm than good for Labour
8 If you have a bowler hat they’ll help you; a hard hat, they’re not interested
9 Creeping privatisation selling off Wales

101 Reasons for Not Voting Labour # 11-27
Whenever a Welsh nationalist complains about the Labour party not giving due support to Wales, one can always guarantee that one of the party's rent-a-gobs will come up with the line that it was Labour that delivered the Welsh Assembly. One has to accept that it was a Labour Government that passed the Government of Wales Act 1998, but that doesn't make Labour the heroes of Welsh self determination. One of my main reasons for hating the Labour party is the fact that they have had to be dragged kicking and screaming for almost 100 years before allowing Wales to have a second rate elected chamber.
When he was elected as the first Welsh Labour MP in 1900 Keir Hardy promised a legislative parliament for Wales. The fact that Labour have failed to keep up with this 109 year old policy form my next 15 reasons for not voting Labour
11) 77 years latter, the Labour party introduced a bill to allow the weakest possible form of devolution for Wales.
12) The Labour Government didn't support devolution for Wales out of principal, it promised a bill in order to gain Plaid and SNP votes in a hung parliament, in order to hang on to power for a few more desperate years.
13) Labour renaged on its promies to the national parties by insisting on a referendum
14) It skewed the referendum by ensuring that dead people who couldn't vote were considered to be opponents of devolution
15) It allowed members of the party to campaign against government policy without fear or hindrance. Indeed it allowed the likes of Neil Kinnock to base their future careers in the Labour Party hierarchy on the basis of opposing the Governments supposed support for devolution
16) Labour realized that it had to secure it's Scottish heartlands in order to form a government, so agreed a policy of Scottish devolution fort the sake of self preservation. A weakened form of Welsh devolution was thrown into the pot for good measure.
17) Wales was offered a parish council, rather than the parliament that Scotland was given.
18) Despite the good offices of some Welsh Labour politicians, Labour party members were the most vociferous opponents of devolution, yet again, in 1998
19) After electing a new Assembly for Wales, Westminster Labour decided who the First secretary should be
20) Realizing that devolution to wales wasn't working, Labour decide not to change things, but to employ a commission, the Richards Commission to investigate the devolution settlement
21) One million pounds latter Labour ignore the findings of the Richards commission
22) The Government of Wales Act 2006 invents LCO's
23) LCO's prove unworkable but Labour refuses to back down on the system
24) Despite the findings of the Killbrandon Commission and the Richards Commission, Labour employs yet another commission, the Emyr Jones Commission to look again at devolution.
25) Labour politicians (and most Plaid AM's) can't see that it is elected members who are employed to make decisions - not unelected commissioners!
26) Welsh Labour MPs with the support of English Tories make the ELCO system unworkable
27) The GoW Act 2006 contains yet another referendum clause. And Labour's anti Welsh brigade join in with die-hard Tories to form "True Wales" to oppose further right for Wales

101 Reasons for not voting Labour # 29 - 53
When the Labour Party was first elected back in 1997 Gordon Brown gained a reputation for economic prudence and competence. It was probably never deserved. Little of the so called economic miracle effected Wales, which has remained as poor as it was in the aftermath of the de-industrialization policies of Mrs Thatcher. Without doubt that reputation is now completely shattered. Rather than causing the end of boom and bust Brown has presided over one of the worst busts since the 1930's. My next 25 reasons for not voting Labour are all based on the economic mess that the party has caused.
29) The worst economic recession since the great depression
30) £697 billion of government debt which it will take generations to repay
31) Unemployment rates soaring. Up to 100,000 jobs per month being lost with projections that unemployment will reach 3,000,000 before long.
32) Savings made worthless due to the 0.5% interest rate
33) Output from factories hits fastest rate of decline for 28 years, with a likelihood that the rate will accelerate.
Welsh factories closing on a daily basis
To name just a few
41) A generation stripped of self-belief as unemployment hits the under 25s in Wales particularly hard
42) Thousands of families loosing their homes
43) Northern Rock
44) HBoS
45) RBS
46) Printing £75 billion of extra money
47) Devaluing the pound.
48) Small businesses are essential to improving the economy, but they are generally ignored by Labour
49) Advice services for small businesses are being withdrawn
50) Despite paying billions to bail out the banks, the Government can't persuade the banks that it now owns to support small businesses
51) Gordon Brown refuses to accept any responsibility for the recession. Blaming "the world" rather than his own poor judgement and mismanagement
52) The arrogant assumption that those who got us into this mess are the only ones who can get us out of it
53) At a time when competence is most needed Alistair Darling always gets his predictions wrong

39) L’Oreal, Talbot Green

101 Reasons for not voting Labour # 54-65
As a party founded to protect the working classes from oppression one would have expected the Labour Party to be a staunch defender of civil liberties and human rights. Over the past 12 years, however the Labour government's record on civil liberties and human rights has been atrocious.
54) The terrorism Act 2000, replaced previous temporary measures with a permenant set of rules. The act defines terrorism in a very broad way. An act of terrorism is defined as an action or the threat of action that is made for advancing a cause, that attempts to influence the government and that falls into one of several categories including serious damage to property or disruption of an electronic system. Under this definition any "direct action" protest group, such as Cymdeithas yr Iaith, can be prosecuted under terrorism legislation.
The Act has been used against anti war protesters, protesters against expansion of Heathrow Airport and the Government of Iceland
55) The Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIP) Act 2000 a snoopers charter, which makes it compulsory for ISPs to record every customer's e-mail contacts and web browsing habits and to hand that info over to the authorities on request.
56) The 2003 RIP extension, in which David Blunket extended the right to access of records your telephone and internet activities to any government agency including jobcentres, local authorities and school inspectors.
57) Continuing extensions of the RIP Act. In 2000 only nine organizations, including the police and security services were allowed access to this data by 2008, it had grown to 792 organizations and is growing still. It is so wide now that it is even used by councils to spy on families suspected of putting their rubbish out on the wrong day
58) Keeping the DNA of innocent people on police databases
59) Ignoring a European Court of Human Rights ruling that the "blanket and indiscriminate" retention of suspects' DNA is unlawful.
60) The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006 extended the offence of incitement to racial hatred to cover criticizing another person's religious belief seriously undermining the right to have a legitimate debate about the rights and wrongs of religious beliefs.
61) The Serious Organized Crime and Police Act 2005
62) The Government being complicit in the torture of British Nationals by foreign agencies
63) Wanting to extend the time people can be held in custody without trial. Of course it is claimed that this would only be used to combat terrorism, but see how wide the definition of terrorism is in (54) above.
64) ID cards, again apparently being used to combat terrorism, despite the fact that a consultant to one of the Governments own spying factories saying that this was absolute bunkum.
65) Gordon brown suggesting that all these encroachments of civil liberties are actually a defence of civil liberty.
This is only a small selection of examples of Labour abuses of Human Rights and Civil Liberties, many more examples could be added. Further details can be found on the Liberty website

101 Reasons for not voting Labour # 66-79
The Welsh language is a working class language it has survived because it has been used by the lower classes of society.
The Welsh gentry ditched it in the 1600's when it became socially and politically advantageous for them to do so.
The middle and aspiring classes ditched the language gradually over the centuries because they saw it as a block to getting on in the world.
In 1891, the only time that Welsh was officially recorded as the majority language of Wales, almost every declared Welsh speaker was born into a working class family.
Given that Welsh is a working class language one would expect that the Labour Party, the worker's party would be one of its strongest supporters.
Not so.
The Labour party has been the greatest force in trying to kill off the Welsh language since the Acts of Union. I don't understand why any Welsh speaker who isn't embarrassed about his or her linguistic heritage should vote Labour.
Here are numbers 66 to 79 of my 101 reasons for not voting Labour
66) A Labour Councillor suggests that providing comprehensive Welsh Language Education for all who choose to be educated in Welsh, whatever their ethnic background, is a form of ethnic cleansing
67) His party leader, the First Minister, agrees with him!!!
68) Glenys Kinnock, a Lady from Anglesey, claims that non Welsh speaking kids in Anglesey are made to piss in their pants, because the can't ask for the toilet in Welsh. Even when her own father tells her that she is wrong - she refuses to apologise!
69) When a Welsh learner asks the European Union to respect the Welsh Language one would expect that the only two native Welsh speakers in the parliament would support the measure. But no Eluned Morgan and Glenys Kinnock voted against official European recognition for their own first language.
70) The Labour Party, quite rightly, apologies about their racist slurs against Gypsies, but fail to see any similarity between the way that the state has oppresses both the Welsh and the Romany Languages.
71) Rhys Williams, a fluent Welsh speaking Labour candidate noting that he hates every other Welsh speaking person.
72) Ian Lucas refuses to use his legitimate parliamentary allowance to produce a bilingual Annual Report.
73)Ian Lucas insults a constituent for suggesting that his report should be bilingual
74) Chris Bryant (and Ian Lucas again) complaining about the fact that some Welsh Railway stations use the Welsh Language in their announcements.
75)Mark Tami MP for Alyn and Deeside's claim that Welsh Language communities group Cymuned is racist, because it supports the Welsh Language.
76) Dave Collins the brains of the Welsh Labour presence on the Internet suggesting that Welsh is a Brain Dead language
77) One of the more intelligent Labour bloggers Marcus Warner is sacked for having a blog, in the wake of Dave Collns' stupidity. Despite the fact that Marcus is making the effort to learn Welsh himself and will give his kids a Welsh language education.
78) Even some some people within the Labour party accept that the party is Anti Welsh
79) Huw Lewis thinks that those within the Labour party, who recognise that their anti Welsh image is harmful are delusional.

101 Reasons for not voting Labour - #81-90
Despite portraying itself as the Peoples Party, the Labour Party has always betrayed the working class and gone after big money.
Here are reasons 81 to 90 for NOT VOTING LABOUR
80] Cash for Honours
81] Cash for Bath plugs
82] The Bernie Ecclestone Affair
83] The PFI Scandal
84] Wendy Alexander's not Scottish, not British financial donations
85] Closing Remploy factories and denying over 1000 people with a disability work opportunities
86] Closing Job Centers in Wales and centralising facilities whilst unemployment is rising
87] The secretary of State for Wales, the man responsible for the Welsh budget, can't organise his own finances.
88] London Labour refuses to match Welsh EU funding, so match funding comes out of essential services, or EU money has to be sent back unspent.
98] Labour invest heavily in London infrastructure - e.g. High speed rail, Heathrow, etc but call it "British" rather than English, and don't give Wales equivalent funding for Welsh Infrastructure.
90] Labour sees the London Olympics and all the benefits that London, England will gain from hosting the games in London as a "British affair". Wales loses out on Barnet Consequential funding and Lottery funding.

88] London Labour refuses to match Welsh EU funding, so match funding comes out of essential services, or EU money has to be sent back unspent.
98] Labour invest heavily in London infrastructure - e.g. High speed rail, Heathrow, etc but call it "British" rather than English, and don't give Wales equivalent funding for Welsh Infrastructure.
90] Labour sees the London Olympics and all the benefits that London, England will gain from hosting the games in London as a "British affair". Wales loses out on Barnet Consequential funding and Lottery funding.
101 Reasons for not voting Labour #91-101
The political party that I dislike most of all is the Labour Party. It is a party that has offered so much to Wales, and has received so much support from Wales over the past eight decades, but has failed miserably to deliver. It is the party that Wales trusted, and the party that betrayed that trust.
I hate the Labour party and I can think of a million and one reasons for not voting Labour. During the run up to the Euro elections I will mention just 101 of them!
101 Reasons for not voting Labour #91-101
91] Labour Raising taxes and calling them Green taxes or Health Improvement Taxes, but not spending the proceeds on either health or the environment.
92] Massive election frauds. Make sure you use your vote to vote against Labour lest the steal it and use it in a way which (according to a judge) would Disgrace a Banana republic.
93] Labour MP's voting to close hundreds of Welsh Post Offices whilst campaigning locally to keep them open
94] Labour supporting the lifestyles of the "wealthy and privileged" rather than hard-working families.
95] Reduced funding for Wales
96] Denise Idris Jones - the most ineffective AM ever.
97] They believe that the tax that we pay isn't OUR money, not even Government money but Labour Money
98] THE KINNOCKS
I could, probably write a 101 anti Kinnock comments but here are just a few to end off the list
99] Glenys Kinnock's lies about Welsh Language Education
100] Neil Kinnocks anti Welsh Devolution Campaign in 1979
101] The Kinnocks on the European Gravy Train
