PM cusses Wales

The guilt about Wales

"The gap between Tony Blair's appearance and the reality, between all that squeaky-clean preachiness and the shoddy, self-serving reality of his quicksand mind, is now a well-established feature of British politics." (Guardian)

I've never trusted him I haven't. Any one who grins as much as that man has got a lot to hide. I wouldn't trust him to look after my cat for the afternoon.

As it happens, the entire Herald team has been working undercover in Wales for some time on a secret project. I tried to get a local to translate the previous message but she was a bit reluctant to say, so I'm guessing it's probably a bit of flattery for the PM, as she seemed to find it a bit unpleasant.

As a responsible organ of the press Mr Woodward perhaps you will use this episode to explain to the public why we are campaigning for three months detention for terrorist suspects and those suspected of sarcasm and less than wholehearted allegiance to Queen and Country and Flag.

Mr Troedyrhiw's comment is a case in point, exactly what the measures are aimed at. We need to find out exactly what his remarks are all about. Are they a cheery Welsh "hail thee, old fellow" (in which case why didn't he use English? English not good enough for you Mr Troedyrhiw?) or are they a coded message to the Welsh peasantry to rise up. In my estimation it could take up to three months to break the code he is using and should certainly be interred until the code is broken.

I think I may be able to help. I am doing my Ph.d on the role of the Goddess and her vagina in Celtic mythology. My speciality is Breton folklore rather than the Welsh tongue but the languages are not totally dissimilar and much can be reasonably guessed. The message seems simply to be an invitation for Mr Blair to come to Wales to enjoy hospitality 'in the front rooms and back rooms' (or possibly 'passages').

Isn't it wonderful how the internet allows all these people to communicate, who would never normally meet? I'm especially delighted to hear from Barbara Moonchildren and invite her to visit my favourite website, which in view of her speculism she will surely like.

Why do they need 3 months to interrogate these fifth columnists? Give me 3 days and a cattle prod and I'll get his message deciphered for you.

For a moment I read that speculism as speculum and swooned. Now much recovered i have visited your site and I believe if I use Norton Wordjumbler I may be able to use that entire page in my ph.d.

My husband was much taken with the picture. He had thought that Mary Millington invented that pose in the 1970's. Men!

I should like to allay any worries that anyone living in these islands but outside Wales may have that the methods mentioned by Sgt Davies are used by our forces on any other people than the Welsh. They are not. I hope this clarifies.

Ohhh, I've had just about enough of this. Bring them in, Davies, all of them.

Yes sir! You'll be pleased to know that following your strong leadership, I travelled by helicopter this evening to interview Mr Troedyrhiw myself. As I expected it took very little time before he was singing like a bird. It turns out the message was an order from Al Quaeda's representative in Wales, apparently one Osama Al Yoni. We are appealing for anyone who knows the whereabouts of Osama Al Yoni to contact the police. That's all I can say for now.

Excellent work Davies. Perhaps Mr Woodward will also take note that under The Disrespect and Shouting Out Nonsense in Conference Act Mr Troedyrhiw is being questioned in Syria on our behalf about the exact intent of his expostulation.

Ah, the usual gullible suspects, leaping out to defend the enemies of Freedom I see. Yes, Ms Pierced, Syria.

As part of our continuing efforts to bring economic prosperity and Freedom to the Middle East we have privatised what parts of our police work could be done by our foreign friends and outsourced them to these said friends . Since Welsh is a close relative to the Arabic dialect of Aleppo Syria was the natural choice in this instance.

To live in Wales is to be conscious
at dusk of the spilled blood that went into the making of the wild sky, dyeing the immaculate rivers
in all their courses. It is to be aware, above the noisy tractor and hum of the machine of strife in the strung woods, vibrant with sped arrows.

I've about had enough of this.

Mr Woodward, under the terms of the attached D Notice please be aware that should your august organ print details of the movement of troops into Wales to quell the insurgency that it is apparently now raging (no thanks to your own provacations) throughout that wretched country you will be liable to arrest under the Expostulation and Sarcasm Act 2005 and may be subjected to rendition to Benghazi.

I heard that Al Yoni isn't even Welsh. He's from the Isle of Man. And foreign fighters are flooding into Wales from Gloucestershire and Avon.

Mikipedia has the following: "Osama Al Yoni (1963-). Born Hywel McTavish, in Aberdeen to a Scottish father and a Welsh mother. Chairman of his local Young Conservatives, he became disenchanted after an incident at a bring and buy sale, when prevented from setting up a dirk and sgian dubh stall. In 1985 he was convicted of lewd and indecent behaviour and spent 6 months in Barlinnie prison where he converted to Islam. In 1990, he moved to Cardiff under a council flat exchange scheme. He is the founder of the Jihadis of Glendower."

I heard he hasn't got any legs.

I read that he controls the global pricing mechanism for the fish market.

I would suggest that Mr Rainbow Spike acquaint himself with the Spreading Despondency Act (2005) and be aware that he is sailing close to the wind with that last remark of his.

Just to correct a misapprehension postulated above I should point out that a man with no legs such as Mr al-Yoni is unlikely to be controlling the global price of fish. He simply wouldn't have the mobility.

I don't rule it out absolutely but it would be unprecedented. Having said that a diet rich in fish would be beneficial to any reader who has lost his or her legs, and indeed it would be beneficial to children eating an otherwise poor diet.

Can you help?

My name is Betty Evans. We aren't even Welsh, we have lived in Willesden all our lives but when our son foolishly got caught shoplifting a jar of manuka honey (to put on his veruccas) in Boots at Brent Cross he was transferred to Burkina Faso for questioning under the Economic Crimes and Terrorism Act 2005. We know he has done wrong but please believe me when I say that he has never mixed with Welsh people and doesn't even like them. Because our surname is Evans and because Mr Troedyrhiw worked for a period in the fishmongers near Willesden Green station and the police found a receipt from there when they raided our house the police are convinced that we support Mr al-Yoni. We don't. We think the Beast of Penrhiwceiber (as The Sun have called him) is a nasty piece of work.

At last a voice of reason (concerned of Canning Town) against the constant torrent of anti-British and anti-American tripe we hear so much of. You people want to sleep safe in your beds but don't want to pay the price of safety, which is constant vigilance against its enemies such as these Welsh thugs we are hearing so much of. If any of you had been in Cardiff on an international day you wouldn't be so quick to complain about our handling of these thugs. And let me tell you something, all of you would find it much more pleasant to be questioned by the Syrian police or our comrades in the war on terror in Burkina Faso than to be tortured by al Yoni, vile legless beast that he is.

If it takes another 37 acts of parliament to strengthen the war on terror and match the 37 acts already passed this year that is a small price to pay for sleeping safely in one's bed and for Freedom.

Think on.

The Herald is expecting a message from Al-Yoni on the anniversary of the Cod War, which is probably about now, or sometime during this present year anyway.
