I would think that the freedom of 95% of the “Tibetan” population would be of value to you. It was China, not the Dalai Lama, and not the CIA, that freed the slaves and serfs in Lasha and “Tibet” almost 50 years ago. That is right, even the Dalai Lama’s slaves were finally set free.

Congratulations to Nicole Cooke on that fantastic win for Wales, and let’s give credit to the strong supporting role in th race by her English colleagues. Pity that it all has to be in the red, white and blue, and not a Welsh flag to be seen – by order!

The BBC seemed to have a few problems with this yesterday. Not that they failed to mention Wales: they’re pretty good at that now, but they couldn’t quite pin down where Nicole was from, most of the time. First of all she was from ‘Glamorgan’, later and correctly the Vale of Glamorgan, but in between times Swansea. And putting in an appearance was that mythical territory South Wales – with a capital ’s’ no doubt.

Looks like Jill and Dafydd were really prescient on this. Their early action now has a further edge with the banning of the Welsh flag too.

And with the Georgians suppressing the Ossetians, it’s about time these sovereign so-called ‘nation-states’ were put in their place
