It’s all very well you talking about freedom of speech but we haven’t heard you talking abou blogging. What about the man/woman that got sacked for blogging in the civil service? Not one AM is talking about it and you are a blogger. If he/she has divulged secret information we’d have heard about it by now.

There will always be a suspicion that politicians are dining out and lording it at the public’s expense. Sadly, as the IPod proves, or the IKEA list in westminster testifies, the cynicism is bourne out (pun partly intended).

You have lovely blog Bethan Jenkins AM. It’d be great if you would consider reciprocating the link I am placing on my site.

I agree completly that Conservative AMs have used this issue to create further problems for their ‘leader’.

To take your logic a step further, I would add that Conservatives are more than willing to push this sort of story up the news agenda – because at the end of the day, it harms devolution.

Through Tory eyes, anything that reflects badly on AMs or the Assembly is fair game.

Bethan,

I think the ‘pool’ idea is a great one, one which could be extended far wider than stuff like tv’s and the like. Indeed, i was always under the impression that the tvs in the office i worked in was the NAoW…

Bethan Jenkins, even though I list you as rebel in my blog, you are one of the few who does not need to defend your claims.

Glyn Davies is inclined to touchy, put it down to age and carry on being honest, his rhetoric morphs into hot air very quickly, whereas honesty remains honest.
