Excellent. More needs to be done to address mobility & balance issues. This benefits everyone. I live in a town with a lot of elderly people uneven paving stones. Younger people don’t realise that one day they will suffer from reduced mobility & difficulties with their balance. Level playing fields

When I worked at Cardiff University I was told that leadership was about the ability to say “No” to people. I disagreed. I thought leadership was about the ability to say “Yes” when a request or application merited approval. Your council is showing leadership.

Congratulations to all of you. And to your wise council for recognising the need to invest it community centres to make them work for those communities.

Farage is condoning racism once again. Referring to Chinese people as “chinks” or “chinky” was regarded as racist and unacceptable 50 years ago.

I’m glad you’re feeling a lot better. The boys are looking warm, comfortable and happy. I hope all 4 of you have a long period of good health.

I wonder why she isn’t a member of Trump’s cabinet. I imagine she’d be a perfect fit.

Candace is a sane and reliable source. After all, as she said (the video is on Youtube) , Hitler was absolutely fine until he decided to start invading other countries.

Not at all. The bloody French can’t (or won’t) forgive the USA for renaming french fries “freedom fries” during the Iraq war.

Further, as George W Bush revealed, the French are suspect because there is no French word for “entrepreneur”!

God bless America.

So sorry Dee. I’m thinking of you and yours. Be brave and take care.

The 750-page document also has stinging criticism of “toxic and chaotic” culture inside Boris Johnson’s Downing Street – which it said the then PM. actively embraced – in which loudest voices held sway and women were sidelined.

What’s new, pussycat?

It’s difficult, Sam. I want Labour to succeed but I feel this is a tipping point. I’m not persuaded by either the Greens or the Lib Dem’s (and certainly not by Plaid). So for the moment I remain a Labour supporter but am no longer enthusiastic and am open to a leftward alternative.

I’m 70 so my memory reached further back than yours but you’re absolutely right Georgia. Trump went into politics to enrich himself. Every other president, even the crooked Nixon, went into politics to make life better for people. He degrades the US presidency.

Is this Andrew Milne a practising lawyer? If so, is he a solicitor or a barrister? If he is a solicitor I hope someone will report him to the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This is despicable behaviour which brings lawyers into disrepute.

Why didn’t Derek Brockway describe the Taff so memorably?

Fabulous metaphor for the mighty Taff, David. Thanks for your post.

How low can you go. Is the Labour Party becoming the Limbo party?

Is it significant that the person chosen by Trump to be the chief law enforcement officer in the USA (ie FBI director) is called Kash?
