As for the Welsh getting upset about being refered to as British etc, the moment that they stop accepting huge handouts from the English taxpayer, that can call themselve whatever they want, even if that word has lots of double f’s & no recognisable vowels in it. We wont be able to hear their persistent whinging because we will have dug out Offa’s dyke & blown both the Severn Bridge & the Second Severn Crossing. In any case, who cares about what the Welsh do or do not think, not even the French...

Children cheered, bugles sounded and the Prince of Wales inspected the guard, yet an air of improvisation tinged the pageantry at President Sarkozy’s ceremony at Verdun to commemorate the 1918 Armistice ...That was not the only hitch. Speaking outside the ossuary that contains the unidentified remains of 130,000 French and German soldiers, Mr Sarkozy hailed Britain’s sacrifice in the Great War. “France will never forget the English, Scottish and Irish soldiers who fought on our soil as if it was their own,” he said. There was no mention of the Welsh, whose Prince, with the Duchess of Cornwall, was present,

As for this non-sensical 'report', it is the usual claptrap but it is not nearly as interesting as its author, Ron Davies. In September 1998 Davies was Secretary of State for Wales when he defeated Rhodri Morgan to become Labour's candidate for First Secretary of the Welsh Assembly. A month he resigned this post, two days after resigning as Secretary of State. He stood down citing "an error of judgment" in agreeing to go for a meal with a man he had met while walking on a part of Clapham Common, well-known as meeting place for homosexuals looking for casual sex. He was mugged at knifepoint. The full details of the incident which he euphemistically called a "moment of madness" didn’t emerge at first while the Nu Labour spin machine tried to cover up the story. Davies later acknowledged that he had been bisexual for some time, and was receiving treatment for a personality disorder which led him to seek sex in risky situations.

However, like so many Nu Labour politicians, they get to make more comebacks than Lazarus & the story only gets better when they rise from the political grave – Mandy is a classic case in point & so is Davies…

Just before the 2003 Welsh Assembly elections it came out that Davies had been visiting a well-known ‘dogging’ spot near a motorway lay-by. When challenged as to what he had been doing there, Davies initially denied being there for causal sexual encounters & said that he had been going for a short walk, adding: "I have actually been there when I have been watching badgers." I promise you, I am making none of this up.

So Davies with his predilection for errrrrrr Meles meles, is now trying to dictate how we speak ? Who says that governments don’t have a sense of humour?
