THE WINDMILLING OF WALES CONTINUES - WHEN WILL IT END? You don't need a Weatherman to tell you which way the wind is going to blow.

........Not while Ioan Richards and other Patriotic Stalwarts are active in the campaign to rid our landscape of the Metal Monsters. However, the arguements go back and fore in angry letters to the press, and as each side pitches their case it gets harder and harder to make sense of it all. As facts and figures are bandied about. Is it not time to engage in more pro - active struggle? almost on a daily basis year after year, the arguements go on and on for one, I am tempted to go the way of Harry Hill and simply say ''FIGHT!''.
.
There is only one fact I am interested in, and that is quite simply, I don't like this ''Industrial Furniture'', be it windmills or pylons all over our landscape, not least when such blights out Heritage in the Landscape or our land is used by Lords to make a fast buck. Thus, I say quite simply, it's time to rise up the Red Pitchfork and blow the horn of Liberty, then all rally to the call >>>> TRECH GWLAD NAG ARGLWYDD! It really is time to make a stand, to take action that shows we mean business, the time for pussyfooting around on this issue must come to end, so where and when shall some real struggle commence? REMEMBER REBECCA!!!!!
.
This is my personal opinion and may not be that of the below or others involved in the Campaign against the Metal Monsters, neither do I intend to jump the gun on any action, suffice I await the call and I hope many others will too. In the mean time do all you can to help the Anti - Windmill Campaign as and when you can, see info and requests for support below.

Swansea City & County Councillor Ioan Richard, 23, Mountain Rd., Craigcefnparc, Swansea SA6 5RH Tel 01792 843861


I’d like to ask you AND your friends a big favour. Can you all OBJECT to Swansea Council Planners about the proposal by Npower for Wind turbines on Mynydd y Gwair in northern Swansea. You will have to give your detail (names and addresses) and your reasons for OBJECTION – mostly Planning Reasons (plus anything else). Write by Royal Mail to:-

Mr David Owen, Case Officer, Planning Dept., City & County of Swansea, Civic Centre, Swansea SA1 or by e mail (giving all details) to david.owen@swansea.gov.uk QUOTING PLANNING APPLICATION Ref 2008 / 1781 wind Turbines Mynydd y Gwair.

Here are some background details on internet:- http://www.socme.org/

and http://www.socme.org/photogalleries.html

If objecting, it is best to write your own letter (however brief) than just filling in boxes on a protest Form.


I’ve been in this for over FOURTEEN YEARS – you can forget Plaid Cymru – they desperately want Cymru to be a world leader in anything / something and the only “something” they can latch onto is for Wales to be the fall guy accepting all the Wind Turbines from foreign developers from Germany; Spain ; Japan; USA & Denmark AND ENGLAND to totally plaster Wales’ scenery! The only politicians who have actively opposed Wind Turbines are those with proposals in their BACK YARD – as individual NIMBYS vote huggers – not here - but OK everywhere else - NIMBYs. Nick Bourne and only Nick Bourne has consistently opposed Wind Turbines everywhere - because a very astute and articulate English Architect and rural countryside lover a Mrs Anne West of Powys is a very big shot in Nick Bourne’s local Conservative Party and she got him strictly mandated by the Powys Conservative Party to oppose Wind Turbines - which he has done under orders to do so. All the others of all Parties all MPs & all AMs & all MEPs & most Councillors (except the Nimby cases and vote huggers) all want Wales totally covered in these useless monsters!


What needs highlighting is - Who is advising Government etc over Climate issues? Examples are:- Al Gore USA – his adviser on Climate is a “Green” former Railway Engineer; Wales Assembly Chief Scientific Adviser is a former Graduate Lab Technician; Wales Assembly Adviser on Tidal Energy is a middle ranking former Sewage Works Engineer; Westminster Government BERR Department (former DTI) use “Green” Neil Crumpton a former Navy Signalman; the Welsh Press and Media use “Green” Gordon James who does not reveal if he has any qualifications (??) at all and Wales Plaid Cymru Party used former Wales Assembly Member Cynog Dafis a former literature lecturer who has publicly admitted he is in-numerate! Our local Launderette Assistant says she is thinking of applying for one of these positions herself as she left school without “O” Levels but she can guess weather predictions by the way soap bubbles blow around her back yard.


Yours, Ioan M. Richard

I had a laugh at this below from a pathetic Chris Franks AM. As a Councillor myself of decades of service I am used to Political Banter. I do not hate Plaid Cymru – what I do hate is (1) their pathetic Energy Policies and (2) their modern brand of Politicians POST (after) Owain Glyndwr; Saunders Lewis ; Gwynfor Evans ; Dafydd Wigley - all pandering to the UK “don’t rock the boat brigade!”. When is Ieuan Wyn Jones AM, Wales Assembly Deputy First Minister going to reply to anyone on Energy issues? He is losing his own constituency prime jobs at Ynys Mon Aluminium just as I type this e mail - because of flawed Plaid Cymru’s Energy Policies! We need to respond to this dick head Chris Franks AM, christopher.franks@wales.gov.uk. and ask him what is his answer to the forthcoming Energy crisis let alone natural Climate Change. Is he a Climatologist or an Engineer or an Economist or just full of horse manure – ask him for his CV.

Here we go.... the happy new year has started here!!!! All of Wales to be covered soon!

That's not the end of it, I am sure.
