CYDWEITHIO - WORKING TOGETHER

Mae yna si fod arweinwyr y grwpiau nyng Ngwynedd am gydweithio dros y Nadolig. Efallai dyna beth ydi'r fideo ma sydd wedi ei yrru i mi yn meddwl.

Cliciwch ar y linc ar yr ochr.

Pwy a wyr efallai fydd Dyfed yn riportio fi am hwn hefyd ??!

There is talk that the leaders of the groups here in Gwynedd will be working together over Xmas. Perhaps this is what the video that has been sent to me means.

Click on the link on the side.

Who knows perhaps Dyfed will report me on this as well ??!

CROESO YN OL RODDERS - WELCOME BACK RODDERS

Gair wedi dod drosodd i mi fod Rodders yn ol ac wedi gadael sylw ar flog Menai.

Croeso yn ol Rodders, Lle ti di bod ngwashi ? Does yna ddim symudiad wedi bod yn flog Cangen Plaid Cymru ers i Comet Hailey fynd drwy'r awyr. Y son ydi fod Rodders wedi cael ffrae gan aelodau o Blaid Cymru fod ei floggio yn lle gwneud lles i Blaid Cymru ond yn cryfhau cefnogaeth Llais Gwynedd, a diolch i Rodders am hynny hefyd.

Beth bynnag, neis ei weld yn ol a cawn hwyl ar ei sylwadau hynod o ddiddorol, gwirion yn y dyfodol.
Word has come over that Rodders is back and has left a comment on Blog Menai.

Welcome back Rodders, Where have you been ? There has been no movement in Plaid Cymru Bontnewydd Blog since Hayley's Comet passed last time.

The story is that Rodders had a telling off from within plaid Cymru that his blogs instead of earning support for Plaid, gained support for Llais Gwynedd.

Thankyou rodders for that.

Anyway, nice to have him back so that we can laugh at his extremely funny and interesting postings in the future..

PLEIDLAIS YR YSGOLION / SCHOOLS VOTE

Ddoe yn y Cyngor daeth y mater cau ysgolion i fyny. Yn ol canllawiau Plaid Cymru, mae yna fygwth nawr i bob ysgol sydd a llai na 60 ynddi felly ardal Bala cawn weld sut fydd Cynghorwyr Plaid Cymru yn mynd.

Cynnigwyd gwelliant gan Gwilym Euros fuasai wedi golygu cydweithio ffurfiol rhwng yr ysgolion ac roedd yn gynnig godigog, ble bu i 25 o gynghorwyr ei gefnogi. Felly roedd deuddeg ohonom o Lais Gwynedd gan gynnwys un Rhyddfrydwr a'r eraill yn Anibynnol gefnogi Gwil ond bu iddo golli.

Felly daeth y cynnig gwreiddiol yn ol o flaen y Cyngor, ac oherwydd nad oeddwn yn canolbwyntio bu i mi mewn cangymeriad i bleidleisio gyda'r "extremists" yn y Blaid (ych a fi), roeddwn ar yr adeg yn siarad a cheisio cyfieithu darn o bapur i fy nghyd aelod Louise Hughes pan waeddwyd fy enw gan y Swyddog Monitro, beth bynnag bu i ni golli o nifer o bleidleisiau er gwaethaf fy mhleidlais i.

Rwan gan symyd i ardal Penllyn y Bala, lle fydd Cynghorwyr Plaid Cymru rwan yn sefyll ta fydd "gweithgor Plaid Cymru" rwan yn gwneud cyfaddawd i Bala ?

Caen weld, beth bynnag mae'r frwydr yn mynd ymlaen, gan pan fydd y mater yn symyd i Arfon, mae yna fygwth wedyn i ysgolion yn fy ardal innau felly mae'n rhaid ei stopio rwan.


Yesterday the Schools closure matter came back up in the Council. According to Plaid Cymru rules, there is a threat to all schools with less than 60 pupils, so in the Bala area, we can see which way Plaid Councillors go.

A betterment was introduced by Gwilym Euros which would have meant a formal co-operation between schools which was indeed a superb opporunities for schools to work together whereby 25 councillors supported it.

So 12 of the Llais Gwynedd Councillors present supported Gwilym on this proposal together with one Lib Dems, and the others being Independants but Gwilym lost the betterment.

So the original proposal came back up, and because I was busy speaking with my Llais colleague Louise Hughes and also translating a document for her, my name was called by the monitoring officer and in the confusion I mistakenly voted with the Plaid "Extremists" (ugh). Anyway, the Plaid motion was carried by a substantial margin (all Plaid, most of the Lib Dems and labour and some Indis) regardless of my mistaken vote.

Now we move to the Bala area, where the Plaid majority working group will tackle this area. Will they offer a solution to Bala ? Who knows ?

The battle goes on as when it moves to the Arfon area, there exists a threat to schools in my ward, so it must be stopped now.

MOHAMED YN GWELD Y GOLAU: MOHAMED SEES THE LIGHT

Tydw i ddim wedi bloggio ers dipyn oherwydd prysurdeb popeth, ond daeth gwen arnaf pan glywais fod Mohamed wedi gweld y golau a gadael Plaid Cymru. Wrth gwrs nid ef yw'r cyntaf i adael ac yn bendant nid yr olaf chwaith. Mae'n cyd fynd a beth dwi wedi ei ddweud erioed sef fod Plaid cymru yn blaid adain dde ac nid bellach yn cynryhioli y bobol go iawn.

Tybiwn fydd Mohamed yn ennill y sedd i'r Ceidwadwyr y tro nesaf yn eithaf hawdd. Beth sy'n synny fi (ond ddim chwaith) yw pan yn aelod o Blaid Cymru, roedd pawb yn uchel ei gloch, rwan gan ei fod wedi mynd drosodd i fod yn Geidwadwr mae rhai o gefnogwyr y Blaid yn ceisio ei bardduo fel rhywyn anghynnes, annifyr a ballu.

Fuaswn ddim yn disgwyl dim byd yn wahannol gan gefnogwyr y Blaid.


I haven't blogged in a long time due to a lot of work at the same time, but I smiled when I heard that Mohamed Ashgar had seen the light and left Plaid Cymru to join the Tories. Of course he is not the first nor will he be the last to leave Plaid Cymru. It goes with what I have always been saying that Plaid Cymru is a right wing party and does not represent real people any more.

I guess that Mohamed will win the seat for the Conservatives at the next election, but what surprises me (well not really) is that when he was a member of Plaid Cymru, it's supporters thought he was the best thing since slice bread, n ow as a member of the Conservatives, Plaid supporters are trying to show him in bad light and giving the impression that they have never liked him anyway.

I wouldn't expect anything else from Plaid Cymru.

GWASTRAFF O £2 MILIWN - £2 MILLION OF WASTE

Dwi ddim wedi blogio ers dipyn oherwydd pwysau gwaith. Yn y mis diwethaf dwi wedi bod mewn cynhadledd yn Llundain ac mewn cyfarfod yn y Rhondda.

Yn y cyfarfod yn y Rhondda roedd yna sgwrs gan weithiwr sifil o'r cynulliad am ei h'adran hi, sef Adran Atal Terfysgaeth. Roeddwn yn teimlo yn eithaf ansicr o'i sgwrs gan roedd bob amser yn cyfeirio i derfysgaeth fel "muslim fanatics", ac roedd yn rhoi pwysau ar yr angen i ddiogelu cymru oddiwrth yr Al Qaeda ( a dweud gwir mi fuasai yn well gwario £2 miliwn i ddiogelu Cymru o bolisiau Plaid a Llafur).

Fe dorrwyd ar ei sgwrs gan aelod o'r gynulleidfa oedd hefyd yn anhapus gyda deunydd y drafodaeth ac roedd amryw yn gytun ag ef.

Mi ddywedias air fod y Cynulliad yn defnyddio morthwl lwmp i gracio cneuen, ond be oeddwn eisiau ddweud go wir yn rhy wleidyddol ac nid cyfarfod gwleidyddol oedd hwn ond un crefyddol felly mi ddywedai hyn ar y blog.

Cyn Medi 11 1991 roedd neb wedi clywed am AL QUEDA. Roedd y grwp hwn yn casau yr America oherwydd eu bod yn ymyryd ymhobman yn y byd. Dim problem efo Prydain, na Chymru chwaith.

Wedyn dyma George "clever boy" Bush yn cael syniad o roi boost yw boblogrwydd a dweud fod y grwp hwn am gael taflegrau niwcliar efo Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran ac unrhyw wlad oedd yn teimlo fel dyma Tony "the idiot" Blair yn bachu ar yr un syniad a mynd efo fo (gan drefnu i ladd yr arbenigwr profesiynol Dr David Kelly gan iddo yntau ddatgan ei bryderon os oedd y ffasiwn beth yn bodoli).

Lle da ni yn mynd ar hyn, wel, polisi Llywodraeth Llundain ydi mynd i ryfeloedd, ac er mwyn cyfiawnhau beth maent wedi ei wneud maent wedi creu yr adran hwn yn Gaerdydd i achub Cymru rhag i'r Al Queda drwg hwn ddod i chwthu Castell Caernarfon, Cloc Bangor neu y Brifysgol yn Aberystwyth.

Maen't am rannu £50,000 i bob Cyngor yng Nghymru i gasglu gwybodaeth o risgiau, fydd £50,000 ond yn ddigon i dalu cyglog a chostau swyddog ym mhob Sir.

Lle mae Plaid Cymru yn y Cynulliad yn holi i fewn i'r adran hwn, yn ceisio newid agwedd yr adran nad nid yw pob Muslim yn debygol o fynd yn "fanatics" ond yn hytrach yn hanesyddol yn fudiad wrthryfelgar, bron iawn cymaint a'r Hindus (gweler y Koran y Vedas ac amryw o lyfrau Crefyddol y dysgeidiaeth hyn)

Dwi yn wir gredu fod yr adran wedi ei sefydlu i gyfiawnhau polisiau rhyfelgar Senedd Llundain- nid oes ei angen.


I havent had time to blog for a while due to work pressure. In the last month I have been in a seminar in London and a meeting in Rhondda.

In the Rhondda meeting, we had a talk by a civil servant from the Assembly about her department "Anti Terrorism". I felt uneasy with the talk as she was always referring to "Muslim Fanatics" and the need to protect Wales from Al Queda (i would presume that the £2 million would be better spent in protecting Wales from the policies of Plaid Cymru and Labour).

Her talk was interrupted by a member of the audience who also was unhappy with the discussion and many were in agreement with him.

I stated that the Assembly were using a hammer to crack a nut but what really wanted to say was too political and this was a religious meeting so i can now state on the blog my true feelings.

Befor Sept 11 1991 nobody had heard of Al Queda. This group hated the Americans for their globalisation. No problems with UK or Wales.

Then George (Clever Boy) Bush had an idea to boost his ratings at home and stated that these terrorists had access to nuclear weapons in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and any other country he could think of (not much thinking goig on in that mind), so Tony "the idiot" Blair latched on to this like a puppy dog and went with him (also arranging to dispose of an expert in the field Dr David Kelly)

Where are we going here ? - you might ask.

well, it's London's policies to go to war and in order to justify their action they have created this department in Cardiff to save Wales from Al Queda blowing up Caernarfon Castle, the Clock in Bangor or the University in Aberystwyth.

They are going to distribute £50,000 to every Council to undertake the task of collating information about relevant risks and track fanatical groups in the area. This is just about enough to cover an officer's salary and costs.

Why isnt Plaid Cymru in the Assembly asking into this department (if they are so against this war), why aren't they trying to change the perception that the threat must come from muslim fanatics ? Followers of the Koran and Hinduism are based on peace (more so in Hinduism) this is taught in the Koran and also in Vedas (equivalent of the Bible in Hindu)

I firmly believe that this department has been set up to back up the policies of London - It is not needed.

CANOLFAN HWYLIO PWLLHELI - PWLLHELI SAILING CENTRE

Mae na gryn feirniadaeth am y Cynulliad yn rhoi £15 miliwn i greu canolfan ym Mangor mewn amser o ddirwasgiad. Wel dyma chi un arall.

Mae Cyngor Gwynedd yn awyddus i greu Canolfan Hwylio ym Mhwllheli. Golygir gwario £7 miliwn ar y cynllun a creu hyd at 20 o swyddi.

Golygir hyn felly grant o £300,000 am bob swydd sy'n cael ei greu, ac fe fydd y Cyngor Sir (sydd yn cau cartrefi'r Henoed, cau Ysgolion, cau toiledau a cau popeth i ddefnyddwyr yn y Sir) yn rhoi swm sylweddol o arian i fewn i'r cynllun.

Rwan mae Canolfan Hwylio yn rhywbeth elitaidd uffernol, ydi plant stadau tai cyngor Pwllheli am ddefnyddio'r adnodd hwn - nac ydi wrth gwrs. Plant i Gyfreithwyr, Cyfrifyddion, Uwch Swyddogion Cyhoeddus a ballu fydd y targed.

Pam ar y ddaear gwario cymaint o arian pan mae Plas Menai ger Y Felinheli eisioes wedi cael swm o arian i wneud Canolfan Hwylio yma.

Gwrandwch Cyngor Gwynedd, fydd na ddim ffadan goch gan y Cynulliad i'r cynllun hwn, mae hi yn amlwg fod unrhyw arian i'r maes wedi mynd i Plas Menai felly pam gwastraffu mwy o arian trethdalwyr yn ceisio creu rhywbeth sydd ddim am ddigwydd.

Gwerthwch y dam Marina, neu well byth rhowch 20 mlynedd o les allan am £12,000,000 a codwch rhent bychan wedyn fydd yn golygu fod gwasanaethau yn y Sir yn cael eu cadw.

Cofiwch am y Meerkats - Siiimple



There have been criticism regarding the Welsh Assembly giving £15 million to create an Arts Centre in Bangor in a middle of a recession.

Well here's another one.

Gwynedd Council are anxious to create a Sailing Centre in Pwllheli. This means spending £7 million on the scheme which will create up to 20 jobs.

Now this means a grant of £300,000 per job created and at a time when the council is closing old people's homes, schools, toilets, and everything in the county that reatepayers want, in addition to giving a substantial sum for the scheme.

Now a Sailing Center is an elite establishment and will the children of the council estates in Pwllheli use this resource - of course not. Solicitors, Accountants and Senior Public Servants's children will be the main beneficiary.

Why o Why waste so much money when Plas Menai (National Watersports Center in Felinheli) have received a considerable amount to create such a center

Listen Gwynedd Council, there will be no public money from Cardiff fod this scheme, it is perfectly obvious that the money has gone to Plas Menai so why waste more time and resources and ratepayers money in trying to create something that ain't gonna happen.

Sell the damn Marina, or better still sell a 20 year lease on it for £12,000,000 and charge a small rent which would mean that services for the people of Gwynedd can be kept.

As the Meercats say - Siiimple

ARFON 7

MARCHOG - KEITH GREENLY JONES (LLAFUR)

Fedrwn eistedd drwy'r dydd yn gwrando ar Keith yn siarad. "Bangor lad" go iawn. Dyn gwybodus a cof anhygoel ganddo yn cofio pethau sydd wedi digwydd bell yn ol. Dwi ond yn ei weld unwaith y mis mewn cyfarfodydd cynllunio ar wahan wrth wgrs i gyfarfodydd y Cyngor llawn.

MENAI (BANGOR) - KEITH MARSHALL (LIB DEMS)

Mae Keith a'i wraig yn gynghorwyr, ac mae'r ddau efo'i gilydd mewn cyfarfod fel "double act" da. Mae yna achlysur lle mae'r ddau wedi pleidleisio yn wahannol, sy'n ndangos eu bod gyda safbwynt reit gryf fel unigolion.

MENAI (BANGOR) - JUNE MARSHALL (LIB DEMS)

Fel yr uchod, mwy neu lai. Yr unig wr a gwraig ar y Cyngor erioed (dwi'n meddwl). Mae na ebrthnasau eraill wedi bod yno (tad a mab & brawd a chwaer).
mae June yn ymgyrchu i gadw datblygiadau oddi fewn i reswm, ac dim ofn ganddi fynd yn erbyn swyddogion y Cyngor ar adegau.



MARCHOG - KEITH GREENLY JONES (LABOUR)

I can sit all day listening to Keith speaking. A true "Bangor Lad". An ex paramedic with a fantastic memory for incidents that has happened in the county. I only see him at the planning meetings and of course the full council meetings.

MENAI (BANGOR) - KEITH MARSHALL (LIB DEMS)

Keith and his good lady are both Councillors and do a great double act. There have been occassions when both have voted differently which show that both of them have an independant and strong point of view.

MENAI (BANGOR) - JUNE MARSHALL (LIB DEMS)

As the above more or less. The only Husband and wife team on the council ever (i think). There have been plenty of other relations there (Father/Son & Brother and Sister). June is an avid campaigner to keep developments sensible and is not afraid to go against officers on occassions.
