Both Humza Yousaf & Rishi Sunak seem more selected than elected.

#thisisnotwhatdemocracylookslike = #selectednotelected.
Both seem removed from popular opinion, even deranged from reality.

(ps...)
(And why does #england not have its own devolved assembly like scotland and #wales?)
(And as i ask that pointed question, I realise I dont know who's the leader of the welsh assembly, so look it up, and, Humphrey Vaughan ap David Gething, new fella, just last month. So was he actually more genuinely elected, and not selected by the inner party? "Gething won the Welsh Labour leadership election to replace Mark Drakeford and become First Minister of Wales, making him the first black leader of any European country." ... because it does look a bit funny, like triple try-hard tokenisation. I hope that's not the racist criteria. Though worse, is their undemocratic selling us out, to their corrupt masters, club, clique, class, etc.
It would be nice to have democracy.)
(I am increasingly appreciative of the perspective that political parties are not a good thing.)

Dyffryn House 3

Which is the more terrifying plant - the one that it metamorphosing into a brain, or the one that is turning into a spider out to get you...?

Signs of Spring

Daffodils in Pontypool park, Hellebores and tree blossom at Cwmbran Crematorium gardens.

Someone mentioned you could do with a bit of a lift, @Shonie Hutter. Hope this helps.

The #Beauty of #Wales, some #Photos of the lake in #Llanberis, the lower reservoir lake of #Dinorwig pumped power station, one of the most important power plants in #UK. The lake is called #LlynPadarn, it is linked to another lake #LlynPeris, which is the lower reservoir mentioned.
Llanberis is the starting point of the steam locomotive that goes up to the summit of mount #Snowdon in #Snowdonia. In summer this area is overrun by tourist, the climb the summit or take the train up, many of the hikers climb up in #FlipFlops, which is really dangerous and stupid. I have walked some part to the summit, from a point a bit higher than Llanberis, and I saw lots of bloody toes and feet at that time.

It is a nice area, if you ever get a chance or are close you might want to consider a detour, I'd prefer to come off peak season, so maybe start/end of the season.

"I'm speechless.... the Welsh government has produced a video featuring young teenage schoolgirls welcoming migrants to #Wales, advising them of all the benefits they can receive, including housing. This is in a country where many thousands of people are experiencing hardship, eviction from rented properties due to the rise in interest rates and being forced to turn to food banks in order to survive. Not to mention the featuring of young girls in the video, everyone knows about the grooming gangs despite the media trying to cover it up..."

The #video was withdrawn after a #massive #outcry. This is #MahyarTousi's #commentary on it, just under 5 minutes.

#People #power is putting a #stop to all this #bull****, but it needs a much louder voice. I really thought things would improve after Drakeford quit the stage...
