Can I open my mouth?

Just checking, of late it seems freedom of speech once again is being questioned after this debacle concerning these Danish cartoons. I don't think I want to really comment on this topic as enough about it has been said already, but I have to say that we must value freedom of speech for all it's worth. When Marilyn Manson went to play a gig in Croatia and was orginally prohibited by the police because he 'promotes Satanism', he had said:

"If they think that an artist can destroy their faith, then their faith is rather fragile.

Wise words I feel which sums up how I feel about it. Of course in this case it is not music, but an image.

With that said, I move to home territory. Question Time last week exposed Rhodri Morgan as a bumbling fool in his attempt to explain his opinion on the Iraq War. One would think clever editing by the BBC surely must have had a hand in duping our First Minister, but no, he seemed to do it all on his own. Not only that, all he had to do was to answer a single question. Even more disturbing, is that fact that Morgan may not even have an opinion on the Iraq War, which for a senior politican governing forward our new Wales, fills me with dread. lthough rest assured, there must be a second force at work here. He daren't not oppose Blair, but at the same time he wants to remain popular. Despite that, he embarrassed himself and Wales that night. Not the news you want to hear when the new debating chamber opens next month. Check out the story here.

House is now let out, so no more viewings. That didn't stop The Letting Shop drilling a sign into the wall though, waking up Jen and I! In all this week has not been too interesting; now back in uni things are starting to get back to normal. I hope the Steed Unit had a good time for his birthday! I also wish the Welsh team all the best against the Scots on Sunday. Im pissed off that Wales' Grand Slam win last year is being seen as a fluke now that the English beat us, but I shall moan about that in another post. Til then, toodles.
