There's been a lot of talk in the media over the last few months about major water shortages in the South East of England. This isn't a particularly serious problem in Cymru (just goes to show our shite weather does have a plus-side!) In January, the Welsh Assembly debated the new Government of Wales bill, which has basically been designed to strangle any hopes of further devolution (I'll come back to that later). What particularly interests me - and should interest all Republicans and Nationalists is THIS clause - 100b: It basically says that Assembly Measures can be blocked if they “would have a serious adverse impact on water resources in England, water supply in England or the quality of water in England”. There was a programme on about the water shortages this afternoon called "The Pulse". A ticker tape was running along the bottom of the screen with comments from the English public - one of them caught my eye: "What we really need is a new reservoir". Who exactly is "We"? :?
