I’m still waiting for information promised on a matter I’ve written about recently and so, until it reaches me, I’m going to take an opportunity to clarify my position on Welsh independence. ◊ BACKGROUND I have always believed in Welsh independence. I will always believe in Welsh independence. This is an article of faith, beyond … Continue reading Why I’m Putting Independence On Hold| Jac o' the North
While I wait for more information promised on the Siddiqi gang, eHarley Street, and a raft of other companies, here's a quickie I kind of stumbled upon after following the money trail when someone pointed me towards a piece in 'Welsh Government'-funded Nation.Cymru. ◊ WHERE WE AT? We're in Carmarthenshire, around Brechfa, between the A485,…| Jac o' the North
Last week I put out a piece about a GP management company, eHarley Street Central Management Ltd, that had been given a contract by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board to run a number of GP practices in the Gwent valleys. The piece was written following many reports that eHarley Street’s behaviour towards patients, staff, and … Continue reading eHarley Street: An Update| Jac o' the North
Problems with primary health care provision in parts of south east Wales have been reported for a while. You're about to read a fuller account. And the fuller it gets, the more disturbing it becomes. ◊ TO EXPLAIN . . . It seems the contract to run a number of GP surgeries was awarded to…| Jac o' the North
Let me stress that the blog is not back, as such, not up and running as in days of yore. I'm just putting out the occasional piece. This one because it complements last week's offering about Globalists who dreamed up the 'climate crisis' now profiting from measures introduced to combat that fantasy. And as with…| Jac o' the North
This is something I considered putting out on X; in fact I did, briefly. But more digging made me realise it was so illustrative of the state of Wales it merited a piece on the briefly revived blog. ◊ HOW IT BEGAN It all started when I noticed a couple of unfamiliar vans in our…| Jac o' the North
After a long run, during which I hope I've educated a few people, even inspired one or two, while pissing off those in need of pissing off, I am retiring. This blog is closing down. I've had a good innings, but I'm an old git now, and I want to spend more time with my…| Jac o' the North
This is another ‘quickie’. It began life last week when someone made me aware of what’s happening in Cwmparc, Treorchy, a community in the Rhondda Fawr. In a nutshell . . . the new owner of a substantial property at the end of a terrace had put up heavy gates, denying locals access to the … Continue reading Cwmparc: Gates & Guards; Answers & Questions| Jac o' the North
This piece was prompted by someone asking me if I’d read an article recently published on the Nation.Cymru website. I smiled to myself, and responded in the negative. But I went to the site anyway, and read ‘140 hectares of Welsh land purchased to restore woodland and nature habitat‘. Then one thing led to another, … Continue reading Wales Being Bought Up Acre By Acre| Jac o' the North
This is another 'quickie', which I'm putting out partly so people can be aware of what might be in the pipeline, and also to see if anyone out there can add a little meat to the bones. ◊ WHERE WE AT? As is my wont, I'll start by showing you the area in question. It's…| Jac o' the North
Let me start by explaining that the title does not refer to the sad buggers in forgotten communities who vote Labour out of force of habit, nor the careerists they vote for. I'm dealing with those who bring city streets to a standstill waving terrorist flags and shouting anti-Semitic slogans. Antifa, BLM, and all the…| Jac o' the North
