I seem to recall this subject being discussed in another thread.
I don't think anything surprises me anymore with the bat crazy ideas of pure waste and sheer stupidness our devolved government come up with, what an absolute bunch of clowns they really are.

Think this is linked to a £135K grant that the Welsh Government gave to CILIP to develop a training programme to assist librarians in "de-colonializing" library collections.

https://www.cilip.org.uk/news/624473/135000-funding-for-Anti-racist-library-coll

As far as i can gather, this involves a survey of the views and practices of library staff, a literature review, and development of a training programme.

As pointed out above, the latest statements suggest librarians should avoid meetings in "racist" buildings. Presumably we may want to reconsider our visits to ancient sites where horrible things happened (like Oystermouth castle), as racism is not the only evil.

Call me old fashioned, but I was always of the view that in university libraries, where many of the CILIP mob work, academics determine the curriculum and reading lists, and librarians arrange for those books to be available. Their degree of expertise in a given substantive area is likely to be quite limited.

I read this,

Advisers on the process have made clear that planned training sessions should not take place in buildings with a “racist” past.

And that was enough for me, a building isn't racist, it doesn't have a racist past becuse it's building. People are racists, buildings are buildings.

Whar next, are we to not use horses because of their role in the slave trade back in the day? maybe we shouldn't travel anywhere because that's what slavers did.
People defend the Senedd OR criticise people who criticise those who do so, can't they see how batshite crazy the place is.
Maybe we should claim those reparations off Italy for what the Romans did, how about the norse countries?

People are stupid, crazy and pathetic, none more so than our politicians.

The Telegraph has a deep hatred of the Labour party and the devolved Governments. They have agitated you and you have accepted it.

The Senedd is elected by Welsh people. It in itself is a reflection of the wishes of the people of Wales and it's minorities. It has proportional representation.

You can call them clowns but you me and our neighbours voted them in. You are welcome to write e mail or telephone your objections.

I didn't vote for them, but even if I did, it wouldn't take away my right to call them clowns if that's how I see the way they run Wales, and when I get the chance, I'll vote to get rid of them, if that's ok with you.

I want Wales run by Welsh people who are probably better than the Eton old boys club we have had for the last decade or so.

I didn't vote for Labour either, I went Green. My neighbours are no fans of Labour either, well those immediately either side of me.

O want Wales run by good people, I don't care if they are Welsh or from outer Mongolia, as long as they are good at their jobs. As we have plenty of proof to show, the curent incumbents have for over 20 years been making a right mess of Wales.

This story, it's another massive waste of money when there are far more important things to worry about. It's typical of Welsh Labour, fiddling around with the garden shed while the main house is collapsing.

You seem to have very low expectations of how your country is run myself I expect the people in charge to be capable,competent and experienced none of which we've failed to have in Cardiff for the past 25 years shame on you for allowing your hatred of the English to cloud your judgement.

He couldn't have wanted Gething, judging by that. He won't be too keen on a member of the house of lords being first minister either, maybe?

I'm a Welsh, working clas, Comprehensive schoolboy....maybe I should run? Hang on, I'm from Swansea and we know how he feels aboit Jacks, we're not bright enough.

How about Brian Josephson, he's a bright fella?

He has an unerring devotion to anything Welsh, especially the those who govern us regardless of its incompetence . The sheep in the valleys it is said that as long as its anything wearing red then it'll receive they cross., case in point. The dangerous type of Welsh snobbery, ignorant either by design or by accident, looking down not noticing his own inadequacies but quick to and highlight others .
