I hasten to say that it's not ALL bad, though finding the good is getting increasingly difficult.<br /><br />GH-J - I hope I'm not just an 'eighty or a ninety minute' patriot.<br /><br />Essentially a radical is a person who wants to tackle evils or wrongs at their roots - to deal with the root causes. In that sense radicalism is a worthy objective. I wish that more people In Wales were radical in that sense, for there are many evils and wrongs in our society which need tackling. The increasing gap between rich and poor might be one example. It's a shame that the adjective has been linked with pejorative terms, like terrorism.<br /><br />I hope to see Wales becoming radicalised to the extent that its people realise that the solution to its deep-seated problems lie in their own hands, and not in those of others. Only then can we hope to live in a fairer and more just society.<br /><br />You mean there's more??? - I agree that the WM is a rag - with a rapidly declining circulation.maen_tramgwyddnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-88006457853879507542013-05-01T22:10:49.774+01:002013-05-01T22:10:49.774+01:00This whole ntion of turning people away from radic...This whole ntion of turning people away from radicalism has a real resnonence for us in Wales. Some years ago we had our own radical wing. <br /><br />I sat in a room with John Bernard Jenkins someone who the state, via the Western Mail had deradiclised me so I would never agree with him. <br /><br />Trouble was I left thinking he spoke sense and the Western Mail was a rag. <br /><br />R<br /><br /><br /><br /> You mean there's more???https://www.blogger.com/profile/12736627336832800972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-53963400162558336582013-05-01T17:40:44.619+01:002013-05-01T17:40:44.619+01:00John
