Earlier in the week, the collaborative site came in for considerable stick here & elsewhere for its apparent loss of devolutionary zeal in pretty much dismissing an attempt by Edwina Hart to have Wales go it alone on alcohol pricing and licensing hours.
The widespread criticism prompted a comment from Lib Dem Peter Black who claimed that FC is “an independent though Lib Dem inclined blog” and that “official Lib Dem policy is to devolve justice powers to the Assembly”. Identical phrasing appears in today’s FC post and the long-winded title suggests that the text has also been issued as a press release.

Mind you it’s only Peter Black who seems to have been embarrassed by the original “Subordinate Central” article. I wonder if he’s spoken to the original poster? I would like to be a fly on the wall there.
I am still of the opinion that the original post reflects a core within the Lib-Dems in Wales, who are in fact hostile to more powers being devolved to the Assembly and this reflected this. The question is how high up this attitude is amongst the Welsh Leadership?. Perhaps they should tell us who was responsible for the post so we can judge how “independent” he or she actually is?
Can't decide if glynbeddau is naive or doing a windup. Either way, the widely held suspicion is that Black is the author of the majority of 'unsigned' posts on Serf-Central.
Black has the ability to do 180 degrees on any subject without blushing or even pausing for breath.
