Wales Gets Europe’s First Black Leader, Vaughan Gething

March 18, 2024 This article was posted by TLB Staff WORLD 0

ER Editor: We wouldn’t ordinarily go for a story like this because who really cares? And whoever gets appointed (not elected, note), it’s going to be another major disappointment and sell-out of the people.

However, it also seems to be a further provocation on some level. As well as illustrating the utter failure of affirmative action. Some tweets, with the most pointed and relevant first —

‘Three Largely Mediocre Politicians’

Aha!

A Blairite? Pretty much tells you all you need to know

Remember the furore and hope around Obama getting elected in the US way back? We’re going to find out how that really turned out. Hopefully soon.

Bluster, fluster and ‘word salad’ nonsense: Vaughan Gething ducks and weaves like a boxer at the Welsh Covid Inquiry

For some bog-standard reporting, see The Guardian —

Who is Vaughan Gething, the new Welsh Labour leader?

Vaughan Gething — meet Europe’s first Black head of government

And he has already angered critics by accepting donations worth £200,000 from a firm run by a man convicted of environmental offenses. Miles’ supporters also claimed that he was the victim of a “stitch-up” for the way Wales’ largest union, Unite, declared support for Gething. (Gething and Unite insist rules were followed.)

The dreaded Brexit ratio

“This result is very, very difficult for the Labour Party,” said Richard Wyn Jones, professor of Welsh Politics at Cardiff University. “This was a very unhappy contest … and there is a very widespread feeling amongst Mr. Gething’s opponents that he has basically bought his way to the leadership.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
