The Establishment
Posted on This is My Truth on 19 February
As Rachel Banner digs out her Leo Abse press cuttings and evokes the horror of the Welsh Establishment pushing for greater devolution to feather their own nest, it got me thinking: what do you have to do to join this illustrious group?
Apart from the obligatory house in Pontcanna (though the boundaries are edging wider these days), and the second home in Pembrokeshire, what else is on the checklist for joining the crachach?
Here's a start, feel free to add your own:
A Kyffin Williams original, naturally
A copy of the Welsh Encyclopedia
A Melyn Tregwynt blanket
A fondness for skiing (can't beat a slippery slope)
Anything else?
