EXCLUSIVE: Pwllheli Marina Scandal

Exclusive, as in, it excludes anything new?

More old news from P4P, who has "learnt that there is much more to the North Wales Pwllheli Marina scandal than has been made public." Unsurprisingly, he fails to expand on this.

P4P quotes an email sent to him from a Gwynedd Council officer, and praises the officer's courage for having come forward.

However, there is nothing in the officer's email that is neither exclusive nor scandalous, and P4P resorts to asking for handouts.

There have been some developments in this matter.

One in which you should not trust a site like Natwatch to respect a source, apparently.

It was perfectly obvious what would happen if his name was published.

It's all well and good having a bit of a laugh at the expense of nats, but he's lost his job because of Natwatch.

But that isn't good enough for Natwatch, who're now really putting the boot in, with gleeful malice.

Hateful people, literally.

I remember just before the '97 election reading a column by Jeremy Hardy where he said that he would be voting Labour with clenched teeth. Although he despised Tony Blair and everything he stood for, he believed there were "still decent people in the Labour Party", which was more than could be said for the Tories. I believe that Hardy now advocates the Lib Dems, though I may be wrong.

This business with Natwatch, with all its petty vindictiveness, is a world away from the crimes that Tony Blair has committed in the last few years, but it does prove, to me anyway, that the culture of absolute cynicism has permeated the party by now, that there is no significant moral distance between the Tories and New Labour. The fact that that sentence sounds so pathetically naive when I read it back shows how far we've come since 1997.
