Guto Visits the Welsh Wizards
Some strange goings on over at the Plaid Cymru annual conference in Wales today. As Guido reported earlier they kicked things off promising to magic some growth by reducing oil usage, and now they have been graced by the presence of a somewhat unexpected guest:

As if that were not enough Plaid’s new leader Leanne Wood has given her maiden speech, telling conference goers:

Moving swiftly on…
Nice tie.
You don’t irritate me by beating me to first so I am not sure why you bother. I only need 7 more “firsts” to be the first one to 1000 firsts on this blog – a record you will not be able to beat.
I bet cumming first has always been your problem.
How do you know you’ve had 993 ‘firsts’? Have you been keeping count?
And didn’t the count get reset when you changed your moniker? So you’re really on about.. 20? 25?
Methinks you will finder that i have more than that this week
“I only need 7 more “firsts” to be the first one to 1000 firsts on this blog”
You are a truely sad individual.
W.W.
Forgive my asking but I expect I’m not the only one here who wonders…
Do you have any sort of trade of occupation, or at you of independent means, or do you exist in some sort of institution?
Christ, we can’t say p*a but no one will block this stalker’s IP address.
He’s like that annoying kid from school x 1000.
Please feel free to taker a full refund and fuck off it you dont lick it here
Mate, no matter how much you base your life around this site you don’t get to tell other people to leave.
You’ve got your own blog – we all know that due to your incessant attempts to whore traffic from Guido – feel free to tell me to leave that, in the infinitesimally small possibility that I visit.
I’ve never licked anything on this site, keep your Freudian slips to yourself. I like it here if that’s what you mean, despite your constant attempts to hijack it with your frenetic attention seeking.
Thank you.

Glad I’m not made of Welsh wood.
Isn’t that what Boris said.
Well, well, well, boyo. I suppose he was hoping to get away undetected because he has a welsh accent, look you.
I know loads of Welsh folk and I have never, ever heard one say “look you”.
Or “boyo”. Or “indeed to goodness”.
As a young girl I once heard John Charles say “oh fuck” .
Oh yes wasn’t he a famous cricketer fro A C Milan ?
Ray Charles did it better
and I, Yvonne, once saw John Charles, Ivor Allchurch and the others sneak handfuls of the Ambassador’s free fags into their jacket pockets. They also lost their match.
I’ve heard ‘em say *uck you!
She’s might think she’s a visionary but it’s rather stretching things if she thinks she can read the male delegate’s minds!
Nearest wood to her, is a green toilet seat

…her maiden speech, telling conference goers: Hopefully an intended pun G.
Wales?
Is that not the place thats such a shite hole they all started stringing themselves up a few years ago.
I went once, a strange place, inhabited by strange people.
W.W.
Don’t go to a chippy. They are still using rendered dinosaur fat.
Unfair. They do boast some of the biggest shit holes in the UK (e.g. Merthyr Tydfil) but parts of Wales are very beautiful and the people are generally pleasant (except in the valleys and in the north – where they are mostly scousers).
I never said they weren’t pleasant, most where, but they where all a little odd.
And I was working close to Bridgend, which is a complete hell hole.
But by and large I liked most of the people down there.
W.W.
They can be ‘odd’ I’ll give you that.
As for Bridgend. Well, you have to bear in mind that many of the natives of Bridgend have never even been to Cardiff.
Oh, and they used to have a famous mental hospital there. Years ago the phrase “you’ll end up in Bridgend” was a common Welsh euphemism for going insane.
Bala is particularly interesting. Very pretty. Very deceptive. It’s OK I guess if you keep your car doors locked and try to avoid getting stopped at lights. By 7pm on a Saturday, the local kids were already decorating the pavement with vomit.
Add Blaenau Ffestiniog to your list of shite holes.
….Or, Abermaw(Barmouth to the likes of us) mostly Brummies!
Once went into a charity shop in Bala town, where a nice old local grannie volunteer said something to me in Welsh. Upon realising I was English she said.
‘Ah,you pushed us back to the sea and the mountains’. I thought she was holding me personally responsible, as it was 1600 years ago or thereabouts, I call that holding a grudge.
The place you refer to is Bridgend. The subject matter is the odd, strange and bizzare suicides – by many young people. The D Express referred to this matter and some shrink called Dr Tegwyn Williams – who appears to have been a ‘put up’ man to deflect somewhat away from the issue. (Move along nothing to see here!)
So – what of the South Wales police investigations into this matter or even the Lynette White murder? Could they be hoping it all goes away for 23 years and more a la Hillsborough? Perhaps now that Guto is snooping around in Wales for his new paymaster – he might be reminded of what the Sun “Published” about Maverick flying vet – Maurice Kirk back in 2009 but that they failed to follow up the story – strangely enough?
I think this tin-foil hat must belong to you.
To ‘Lost Property’ – I hope you die a slow and painful death.
If reducing oil usage would produce growth then Zimbabwe would be the richest country on earth.
If they printed money too they could be the richest country in the Universe.
The only things Government seems proficient at growing is debt and senses of entitlement.
JH:: Do you think folks will dance on Ebagum’s grave when he finally gets round to popping his clogs? Medical science has a lot to answer for!
this Thai green curry paste is brill. I think I’m going to try it with fish.
OK Kate, that’s enough, put your top on now, I can see you’re getting chilly.
Snivelling left-headed dragon. How dare that… Welsh promise growth and prosperity for nothing more than a PRINCIPALITY. Gosh. My language I must desist
If a few MPs had their way, the place would be called a Princessipality
Now that they’ve wasted a lesson a week (or whatever) for the past 30 years learning to speak a foreign language (and not anything useful like Chinese or Spanish or French) – why is she speaking in English?
Amazingly, she doesn’t speak Welsh. Must have sneaked in on a non-Welsh speaking quota or something. Mind you, we’ve had vegetarian Agriculture Ministers over here, so no great surprise really.
What’s wrong with vegetarian agriculture ministers? Who grows the vegetables?
Asda?
Oh yes indeed, Wales is famous for its leek and onion production and I in no way associate it with the rearing of any kind of woolly livestock. To which a committed and militant vegetarian might in any case not devote her unbounded enthusiasm.
I think the best of them all was Barbara Castle, the Labour transport minister who had never driven a car.
Although Vince Cable, the Business Secretary who has never run a business (nor, indeed, never really worked for one), must come a close second.
I think Stephen Byers was another Sec of State for Transport who didn’t drive. Gordon Brown doesn’t drive (maybe due to his poor vision). I suppose some of us are just born to be chauffeured.
Most of Labour have never actually worked.
To Anonymous – Most of the Tories and Lib Dims have never actually worked themselves either. The tribal in-fighting by those who spin and throw for one against the other is all part of “The charade” – Are you a part of the charade – or haven’t you worked it out yet Neanderthal Anonymouse?
Not before Cameroon and Osborne surely?
What kind of name is Guto? Is he a johnny foreigner?
Used for stringing banjos.
Welsh for “Guido,” innit?
Yes. “Guto Ffowc” is Guy Fawkes.
“What kind of name is Guto? Is he a johnny foreigner?”
From his Wiki page it states…
“Guto Harri was born in Cardiff to writer/physician Harri Pritchard-Jones (born 1933), and his wife Lenna (née Harries).”
Well, that clears that one up then!
Fuckwit by name…fuckwit by nature. Ergo he works for Murdochs NI kosher schilling.
A fuckwit is he?
Are you from the BBC.
Are they still burning him in effigy in the car park?
So his real name is Guto Pritchard-Jones. Still very odd, where did ‘Guto’ come from? Is it short for something?
Says here it’s celtic. I wonder…
It’s pronounced “Gitto”
Appropriately.
Just git will do.
Is it tha past tense of Gito?
The answer is staring them in the face, Wood burning stoves.
” No varnish . No veneer. Just Wood” (?)
As I recall from my misspent youth in Californaiii – ayy.
“wood ” is the ” industry ” term for the achievement of male erectile function in a porn shoot .
Nothing to do with the female body .
Now if she were to have referred to herself as a fluffer girl … whole diffrent
” ball ” game.
She might give some men the “wood,” if they’re fetishists for what the porn industry calls “wifey” types. She’ll probably bypass “MILF” and go straight to “mature,” though. We do keep abreast, you might say, of all the niches in porn; we have to stay on top of things, as the actress told the bishop…
As any fule kno, the next stage after MILF is Cougar…
Which release of OS X was MILF?

Chuka Umunna @ChukaUmunna
We’re not in a recession because of the rights our constituents have at work – its cos of the govt’s failed economic plan
Hmmm……….Chuka is a weapons grade fuckwitt
Plus the fact that digging the Nation out of the shit which Libor left is going to take many years.
Remember the immortal words, ‘There’s no money left’, uttered by their Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Liam Byrne ??
That was then, it’s different now. Dave’s giving away £13 billion in foreign aid this year, so there’s obviously plenty of money left.
But it’s money well spent: Dave gives Afríca billions, Afrícans show their appreciation by burning down our embassies.
That was then, it’s different now. So different, in fact, that Dave’s giving away £13 billion in foreign aid this year, so there’s obviously plenty of money left.
But it’s money well spent: Dave gives Afrí-ca billions, Afrí-cans show their appreciation by burning down our embassies.
But I distinctly remember Chukka at his smarmiest on the telly last night telling us that giving the employers more rights to get rid of feckless workers will crash the economy.
Oh, and can we apply that principle to feckless and useless MPs too?
You cannot argue with Chuka because he is just too thick
Bit ‘Wooden” is he? See 104 above too.
The scandal of Manchester children going hungry because their families can’t afford decent food is revealed by the M.E.N. today.
A damning report shows that 42 per cent of the city’s youngsters are now living below the poverty line – double the national rate.
“Unbelievable” as in ” I don’t believe it “
Poverty line = not having a five foot wide TV and the latest must-have trainers (not that any of the fuckers ever run anywhere).
True that. I’ve always found it amusing that the non-working classes favour track suits, football shirts, trainers, but most of them would probably die of heart failure if they had to run for a bus.
Why do you always go on about giant plasmas as a sign of people’s wealth, or lack of it?
These things are cheap as chips second-hand. Alternatively the said TV could be stolen. And I don’t suppose these people pay their TV licence, as we don’t have detector vans any more do we?
And the trainers will have been nicked off Wythenshawe market.
Is it cos Libor threw our borders wide open to all-comers thereby casualising work and driving wages right down so hard-working Brits were better off on benefits ?
It doesn’t happen here. Everyone makes sure they get their full benefit entitlement plus more.
Mr & Mrs send their regards to all the bloggers on this site.
How terribly decent of you both.
Mrs Bone is an absolute bargain at £40K p.a. – a national treasure.

No violent mass protests whatsoever expected at publication of this image.
Ha ha! Class!
Plaid Cymru are lost in the Woods and remain but a splinter group in UK politics.
Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder.
If you are angry and drunk at the same time, does that make you a cross-cut?
I’m pining for a dash of lime in my Tenonts.
That pun is trying to carry more significance than it can beer.
Yew think I missed my Carling ?
Kate might have a pear. Or is that an old chestnut?

If yew have a map lead on, stout porter – but spruce yourself up fir heaven’s sake.
That silly Wood woman from Plaid wants Wales to turn greener.
I am not with her.
I don’t like sprouts and neither does anyone else in my family .

Leanne Wood is a bit of a plank, surely, judging by her tv persona!
Is this a woodpecker or……I know woodrot!
Woodchuck actually. Her and Chukkie wood make a fine pair.
New Plaid leader Leanne Wood: “What you see is what you get. No varnish, no veneer, just Wood.”
Yes, two planks thereof, somewhat short.
So if she had a wooden whistle it wooden whistle wood it?
