New Green Party leader Zack Polanski has accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of betraying a ‘colonial mindset’ towards Wales.
What on earth has possessed people to believe that Reform’s motley collection of our most abysmal, prejudiced and corrupt politicians - all with a proven track record of epic and piss-taking failure would be a remotely credible government? Seriously people… and media… you’ve lost your goddam minds.
Ok. I’m not going to manage more than a couple of clips because the cringe is so bad I feel sick. But the Reform conference is like a spectacular of stupid. A place where vicious idiocy and prejudice have come to tell us how they will fuck up our country. The death of all self-respect and sanity.
Martinus van Regteren Alteat's portraits are not like looking at a painting; they are like meeting the sitter. This work from 1902 is a profound, complex, compelling intense and deeply affecting work of a farmer from North Holland.
Bravo, ripped him another hole to spout his crap from.
Truly great backline
"If they gave me a pound for the moments I'd missed and I got dancing lessons for all the lips I should have kissed, I'd be a millionaire, I'd be a Fred Astaire"
Brilliant rugby!
You missed his second name, 'Sadly'

Utterly baffling and massively disappointing.

I've had 'Love Shack' for what seems like six years.

Yes, while still being a part of it.
I think you'll find it's become a slightly different world since the glorious 1950s.
We haven't even got a written constitution - it's not as if we haven't had enough time. Mother of parliaments my arse.

How good was Shingler
What makes you think it is?
Absolutely.
If they think it's a good idea, it isn't.

We used to chant "We want food" while banging our cutlery on the tables in the school canteen. No idea why, it was always bloody awful.
Seriously, what are the chances?
Also back to the seventies in the sense that I didn't listen to R4 back then and have stopped doing so now.
Thanks Tony

Yes, in the Sketty team.
That has “A.I.” Written all over it. And I say that as the person who designed the current Scarlets logo

I'd be miserable sat next to her, to be fair to Tandy.
Like Neath and Swansea did in 2003 you mean Ed?
Please tell me that's not the new Wales shirt behind them?
Close Combat - a bridge too far
A good solid set from John at Elysium last night. Here are the short prep sketches. I used Conté Crayons for the first time in ages and had forgotten how much I enjoy them - and how dirty I get! #lifedrawing #nudeportrait #nudedrawing #bodypositive #nudemodel #artoftheday #nudemalepainting

Totally agree, what consensus did they have to do this? Did they even ask their members? What have the Scarlets got to say about it?
Likewise
Pathetic. And I say that as a Scarlets supporter and someone who pays council tax in Swansea.
Why?
I have just completed this 40x60cm painting of William Sunderland, the clockmaker. William is an expert in restoring Tudor clocks and is a liveryman of the Worshipful Society of Clockmakers. The portrait took about two weeks. It has broken gilded edges and is framed in oak. #portraitpainting #art
It hasnt been a democratic country for a while now.

Meh
Still chuckle at that from time to time

I have a new article on life drawing published by Counter Arts online magazine. This one discusses the 'Scrunchers' - poses where the models tuck themselves up with knees in to chest. medium.com/p/cfe247b4ae52
Did they sashay into each other?
And the Pogues
Is there hope?
Yes but there is also the chance of 15 Ben Earls. The ref would risk deafness from them all celebrating an opposition knock on.
