Be kind to our new comrades, they put effort into their names.....

It must be exhausting for the poor dears.

I am but an ignoramus, so what do I know?

Sorry, I forgot

This be kind is a lot of nonsense anyway

It's also a waste of thread space, but here we are.

Tears will not be lost on those who freely abuse in answer to a simple question about how many islands there are in an archipelago off mainland Europe.

😂

🤭Are you feeling better, evenstar?

Yes thank you apart from an awful cough, I think the shingles has affected my asthma. The family have rallied round and I have had a lot of help and support

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus to all the Welsh MNetters!

(I can only claim 2 Welsh great grandparents 😁)

Thank you @Evenstar, it’s always good to start the day with a smile. I’m glad you’re feeling better, long may it continue.

Happy St David's Day. March already

Diolch yn fawr!

My bit of Wales has decided to celebrate with rain.

I am very glad you are feeling better @Evenstar

Farage and the DM are continuing their meltdown, foreign-born voters stole the election

Diolch yn fawr. Picau ar y maen (Welsh cakes) all round.

Complaining about a stolen election. Who does that remind us of?

This article is very interesting, if chilling. I must admit I didn't realise the AfD were doing so well in the polls.

So are quite a few Mumsnetters, I see.

They all crawl out of the woodwork when Reform is doing badly

I love Welsh cakes. Good excuse to buy some today.

Reform are also considering stopping the postal vote if they get into power.

I love Welsh cakes. Diolch!

I can happily deal with them plastering the place with shit if it’s the price we pay for Reform doing badly. 😌

I enjoyed one last night at the London Welsh Centre.

Happy St David's Day to all who celebrate it. Cymru am Byth.

Awful - my Mum had it for years, due to being immobile and housebound - she always, always used her vote, a matter of deep principle for her. Neither did I ever take it and fill it in with my preference- I did know who she voted for as she said, but to pretend that chat can’t happen is disingenuous.

There will be many older folk who are conscientious about voting who would be dismayed - yet not enough to disrupt any vote, as most manage the completion themselves, and independently with privacy.

Not to mention the disabled - but we know Farage doesn’t like them already.

I so don’t want to live in a cosplay US with a cosplay Trump.
