Alun Davies - one of the weakest, dimmest, smuggest and poorly-informed members to ever 'grace' the Senedd - a match for Michael Grade? Words fail me. Is this irony?

So with the web for information-gathering. I'm currently trying to impose order on last week's election results so I can write about them. The Cardiff press has all but abandoned ward results and the statistical compilations based on them. Torfaen was one of Wales's most interesting results. But the council site is a disaster - each ward has to be accessed separately for the results; but party affiliations can only be found by accessing the nominations, again on a ward basis. Why doesn't someone invent something called a newspaper so they can be easily collated ? Beware the newest kid on the block – he might not be worth as much as he thinks he is.

And I don't share the notion that printed newspapers are dead. It would have been better if Y Byd had been more ambitious in its aims: at a minimum there should be a nationwide free delivery, five days a week to every school, educational institution, and to every councillor - oh and AM's bless them. The only self-called national newspaper in Wales (the Western Mail that doesn't have much about Wales in its title does it?) relies for its very existence on huge public subsidy through exorbitant rates for large public sector recruitment and statutory adverts.
