A note of clarification

The author of this blog does not work for any political party, does not belong to any political party and does not work in the Assembly.

Any speculation as to the ownership of the Welsh Blog Watch and Welsh Post Box are the views of the individuals posting their opinions.

Comments are unmoderated.

If anyone wants to plead the case of a comment being removed I can be contacted via my email on the side panel. Only comments that are breaking the law will be removed.

This blog doesn't care who the owners of those blogs are, it does not seek to 'out' them or restrict their freedom of expression.

Cllr. Luke Ellis calls it a day

Luke Ellis has announced that he's to take a 'break' from blogging.

His decision to take a break was probably influenced by the dark Machiavellian movements by certain members of his own party. These people have almost certainly been leaving negative comments around the Welsh blogosphere and even going as far as setting up a one post blog to demand his sacking.

Luke Ellis's crime was to post a blog asking for an open discussion about drugs within society, he added some tongue-in-cheek humour to his piece but it was done in such a light hearted way that no-one except those with an axe to grind against his boss would be 'outraged'.

These people have clout though, and apparently a direct line to Labour spin-meister in chief at the Western Mail, Martin Shipton.

I offer my full support to Luke at this time and wish him all the best in the future. Let's hope he takes up blogging again because despite the naysayers the more voices the better.

Illegitimi non carborundum

Welsh Blog Watch: Dumber than first thought

Here's the latest 'offering'.

Good to know my personal cyber stalker, the completely-impartial-and-not-at-all-a-Nationalist-front blog "Free Wales Speech" is quick on the uptake. What a shame he's not that quick witted.

Wow two blogposts in one day, I've really stirred the hornets nest. Regular posts? What next? Good posts? We'll have to wait and see.

P.S. 'cyber stalking'? Nice way to undermine a true criminal offence that many people have suffered. This is merely a satirical poke at your precious ego my friend, I don't care who you are, where you live or what you do for a living.

He does seem very upset that I've criticised Welsh Drivelings. That wouldn't because you ARE Welsh Drivelings, would it? Oh no.

Well if the main target of your blog is Welsh Ramblings then the logical assumption would be that you were specifically aiming your blog at WR wouldn't it? I'm not Welsh Ramblings by the way.

Anyway, good to know your reading Ramblings.

I'm not WR, no matter how many times you write it won't change that.

And good also to know that I'm being so well read in the Assembly.

In summary,

How can you summarise anything? You've said sod all!

we are told to believe that Welsh Blog Watch is out to stifle debate by taking the piss out of others,

Yep that's about it.

while Free Wales Speech is performing some sort of democratic duty by err...taking the piss out of Welsh Blog Watch.

It's called satire. There are dictionaries available online if you need to look that up.

Work that one out if you can.

Most people would be able to, take as long as you need though.

To me it's just another fine example of just how far up their own arses most Welsh bloggers are.

You really can't deal with criticism can you?

Welcome! Croeso!

This blog has been set up to counter two blogs that have sprung up in the last couple of weeks. They see themselves as 'Watch' blogs. They are in fact nothing more than partisan attack blogs designed to limit free speech and shut down debate. They see themselves as 'Watchmen' but who watches the 'Watchmen'?

The answer? We do.

So far the blogs in question have been relatively quiet with few posts and comments so we'll sit here and wait to see the kind of impact they'll make. If they can be bothered to post again that is.

So c'mon Welsh Blog Watch! C'mon Welsh Post Box! Come one come all, if you think you're good enough.

PS If the two blogs should disappear, I'm thinking of keeping the blog active as a general free speech blog.
