Neil McEvoy, Deputy Leader of Cardiff City Council is the first person to deliver a speech at Plaid Conference. Its already very visual, with a live streaming of the speech on the screens behind Neil as he speaks.
Oh, we’re already on Labour politicians allowances- got to mention Jacqui Smith MP…. ‘Working class hero’ Huw Lewis AM gets a bashing from Neil over his allowances. Labour’s pro market mantra is in tatters according to Neil, the credit crunch an unpalatable breakfast cereal! Plaid is delivering and doing our best for Wales, he goes on to say. Who would have thought four years ago that Plaid would be in government in Wales, and in the city? Neil is concentrating on the success of Plaid here in Cardiff- how they were irrelevant, but are now a strong force. In 2012, we will replace New Labour in this city. We are a modern Plaid in a modern Wales.
Neil as a Fairwater boy is proud of winning 50% of the vote in the area. In Ely, they increased support by 600% and are elected to Cardiff Council to work for the people of the area. They are launching a capital Cardiff fund to support people during the recession. It would allow someone with drive and ideas to realise their dream. In response to the downturn they have bought forward the refurbishment of council home kitchens= a small but significant development. Cardiff Council is supporting the .cym campaign, and are fully behind Mentrau Iaith in the area. A quiet revolution is happening in relation to the development of the Welsh language.
The coalition at the Council is strong in supporting those who are seeking asylum, and have endorsed the St David’s Day parade says Neil.
Plaid are dispelling the myth of what it is to be a Plaid member. Neil is an Internationalist. People like Natasha Ashgar, Mohammed Ashgar and himself are the modern Wales, and they are here to stay.
Our Wales could be the shining light that the World needs. If we had more powers for Wales, we would not have to answer to the Windsor fomily or powers in London! We would not go to war in Iraq. We can build our own future says Neil- learn from our mistakes, govern effectively, and campaign for powers on a par with Scotland….nice music now as Neil leaves the stage…….

If Neil McEvoy is a shining light God help us all. What man would sign up to share power with a political party he himself describes as fibbers. Only a hypocrite would hold up a sign saying save our parks then when he gets a bit of power through the back door vote to build a school on a park. Having created a situation against the will of the electorate he has the audacity to call them thugs and morons. What he has ensured is that Plaid is dead in the water in the East of the City. Haven’t seen or heard from the few party supporters in the area – I wonder why??
