Did Tory racists force Oscar to join Plaid?
The biggest surprise was that he had ever been chosen as Plaid’s second nominee for South East, for he is clearly out of sympathy with any idea of “independence”. He said he a strong believer in the United Kingdom, and seemingly in the Royal Family.
I asked him whether he suspected racism among the Tories and whether he believed that the Tory Party had really changed its spots?

New-style Tories now David’s in the imperial Parliament ?
ARE WE seeing a new-style Tory party in the Assembly?
Nick Bourne has done much to rescue the party group in the Assembly from the right-wing days when everyone harked back to Thatcherism.
Independence
Tories and ‘the slippery slope’
DAVID MELDING spelled out a few Conservative principles to the weekly Conservative party briefing.Mr Melding stated the obvious – that his party is not united on devolution. He reckoned it was split in three equal parts – pro extra powers; happy with the present split between Cardiff and London; or favouring the abolition of devolution.

The Welsh Tory strategy for countering Nationalists appears to be to ‘give in’ on national sovereignity and full devolution but repair Unionism byinsisting on ‘ federalisation’ to the UK in a sort of United States of Britain.

ARE THE Welsh Tories showing their true colours in these Euro-elections ?
The election leaflet pushed though my door contains NOT ONE word of Welsh.
Apart from a line saying that if you want to read the election manifesto in Welsh (in pamphlet form), you have got to phone a number in Cardiff (and it’s not a freephone number), presumably only during working hour.
Welsh Politics
A case of newspaper inequality at expense of the Tories
Nick Bourne and the Welsh Tories seem to be storming to political advances within the next year after the collapse of the Western Mail concatenation of attacks
