Wales 2019: state-subsidised colonisation

PLEASE APPRECIATE THAT I GET SENT MORE INFORMATION AND LEADS THAN I CAN USE. I TRY TO RESPOND TO EVERYONE WHO CONTACTS ME BUT I CANNOT POSSIBLY USE EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION I'M SENT. DIOLCH YN FAWR
u'll recall that in the post before Easter I reported on 'Welsh Government' generosity in Aberteifi. Now another case has been brought to my attention.
This one in Talyllychau, a village not far from Llandeilo, where a gang called Talley Community Amenity Association (TCAA) is lined up for £522,653 from the self-styled 'Welsh Government'.
You'll have noticed that in my playful way I just referred to them as a 'gang', but they couldn't really be a gang because one of them is an an ex-copper, who seems to have bought 'a place in Wales' and then got a transfer for the final few years of his service.
In fact, many police officers get pre-retirement transfers to Dyfed Powys and North Wales. To which we can add others who get transfers because they can't cope with the pressure in England's towns and cities.
And this phenomenon is not confined to the police service, it's widespread with cross-border employers, Royal Mail would be another example. I wonder how many jobs we Welsh lose due to transferees filling vacancies in scenically attractive parts of the country?
But I digress, let us hie back to Talyllychau.
WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT DO THEY DO?
In the hope of learning more about Talley Community Amenity Association I turned to documents filed with Companies House. The company was Incorporated 18 July 2002 and gives as its business, 'Support services to forestry'. The TCAA also registered as a charity – number 1097539 – 15 May 2003, where its 'Activities' are listed as 'Management of local woodland'.
Clearly, TCAA is interested in woodland around Talyllychau, partly explained in a piece by one of the company's original directors, Stephen Upson. This document also makes clear that TCAA existed in some unspecified form before it became a company and a charity, and that it was in discussions with both Forestry Commission Wales and the Welsh Development Agency to acquire local woodland as a community amenity. (This map might help you better understand the area. The village proper is just visible on the far right centre.)
These negotiations probably explain the need to become registered, for in the first 'Financial statement', for 2003, we see that the money is rolling in, and there is now £81,733 in the pot, but no mention of whence it came. Though I couldn't help noticing that these accounts were prepared by 'Gray & Associates, Accountancy Services, Talley House, Talley'. This is presumably the Sarah Ellen Gray who became a director of the company on 12 September 2005.
Isn't this cosy!
The balance sheet for year ending 31 July 2004 shows fixed assets of £64,999, explained as 'Land sold to the Association by WDA repayable 9 May 2029'. Elsewhere on this filing we read of 'grant funding' of £112,021, but again, no clue as to the source of this moolah. But don't worry, because 'Grant work completed' amounts to £111,748, leaving just £273 for tea bags, sugar and biccies.
These second 'accounts' – and I use that term loosely – give no indication as to who prepared them, who audited them, who the company's solicitors are, or its bankers. Talley Community Amenity Association seems to be using every loophole in the Companies Act to give out the bare minimum of information.
The newly-acquired asset is further explained by a Welsh Development Agency charge against TCAA for 'land at Plas farm'. But by the time we reach the 2008 accounts the £65,000 ex-WDA asset has disappeared. Where'd it go?
Well, according to the title document for 'Land at Plas farm' the asset passed into the ownership of the 'National Assembly for Wales' 28.03.2007. Which throws up a wee conundrum.
I mean, if the land was returned to the 'Welsh Government', or the Notional Assembly, then surely the charge held by the WDA would have been satisfied. Or if the happy band at 'Talley' had been paid £65,000 – as the title document suggests – then they would have used that money to pay off the WDA, wouldn't they?
Yet the charge remains and there is no sign of any income – or little activity of any kind – in the accounts after 2008. The Talley Community Amenity Association has just been ticking over with a few thousand in the bank gaining interest.
Am I missing something in the Plas farm land transfers and sales? Or is something being omitted from the minimalist documents submitted to Companies House?
THE CAVALRY ARRIVES – IT'S BOOTS AND SADDLES!
A recent addition to the 'Talley belongs to us' crew is Angela Gail Hastilow, who seems to have arrived in 2012, along with husband Ian, from West Sussex. The Hastilows are saddle-makers. The firm seems to be still based in England, for the website tells us 'Angie runs the office from Wales'.
I'd like to refer you now to a document filed with Companies House 27 July 2018 telling us that Angela Gail Hastilow replaced Peter Graham Knott as a 'person with significant control' (PSC), which usually means the person running the show.
Let me quote Companies House, which words it thus: 'A person with significant control (PSC) is someone who owns or controls your company. They're sometimes called 'beneficial owners'.'
What is also strange is that this occurred on the same day as Mrs Hastilow became a director. I'm sure there's no legislation forbidding someone joining a company and becoming the PSC on the same day, but it's unusual.
The only times I've come across it is when someone buys out a company. But Talley Community Amenity Association is not that kind of company; for example, it has no shares to be bought or transferred, so it's difficult to see how anyone could take it over. Or why it would be allowed.
Yet that's what Angela Hastilow appears to have done. Not only is she now PSC but the company's registered office has moved to her house in Talyllychau. And it's the same with the TCAA charity. Hers is the address and she is the contact for the charity. It appears to be a clean sweep.
This takeover throws up another conundrum. I've told you that Hastilow became a director and the person with significant control on 27 July 2018, and yet there is another document filed with Companies House that suggests otherwise.
According to this other form, Hastilow became a/the person with significant control 02 September 2017 . . . before she even became a director!
Of course, it may be a genuine mistake. But if Angela Hastilow did really take the reins in September 2017 how was this achieved without her having any declared links with TCAA?
This anomaly has been reported to Companies House.
And now Talley Community Amenity Association is lined up for £522,653 of our money; and it also looks as if they're going to be gifted – or at least given control over – 800 hectares of prime Welsh land. That is, land we own.
Yet who can blame them for this very human acquisitiveness, for Talyllychau is an idyllic location. Its has lakes, a ruined abbey, and is reasonably close to the M4; all features that make it very attractive to well-heeled English folk.
And the area around Talyllychau has great tourism potential.
Despite all the talk of 'biodiversity' and 'community benefits' it is being suggested to me that more mercenary motives may be at work. So before money or land is given to Talley Community Amenity Association certain things need to be established:
Why are the TCAA accounts so rudimentary and uninformative?
Where did the £81,733 come from that appears in the 2003 accounts?
What is the source of the 'grant funding' of £112,021 shown in the 2004 accounts?
For what was this grant funding given and was its spending monitored?
If the TCAA was paid £65,000 in 2007 for the Plas farm land why didn't it use that money to clear the WDA debt?
And if TCAA was paid £65,000 then what happened to the money?
If the TCAA was not paid £65,000 then by what route did the 'National Assembly for Wales' gain the land?
How was it possible for Mrs Angela Gail Hastilow to become the 'person with significant control' of TCAA before she'd even become a director?
Does Mrs Angela Gail Hastilow now control TCAA?
If so, how did this come about?
What are the terms under which the 800 hectares mentioned in the newspaper report will be made available to TCAA?
Will the 800 hectares remain in public ownership if this project goes ahead?
Will the directors and trustees of TCAA be allowed to use the land to further their own business interests?
If this project proceeds will the 'Welsh Government' require TCAA to produce full and independently audited annual accounts available for public scrutiny?
How representative of the wider community is TCAA?
Why is there so little Welsh involvement in TCAA?
BOTTOM LINE: Why is the 'Welsh Government' paying wealthy outsiders to take over publicly-owned Welsh land that they will almost certainly use to make money for themselves?
PART OF A PATTERN
Returning to the article that appeared last week in the South Wales Guardian we read that the scheme delivering the loot and the land is 'the Sustainable Management Scheme (SMS)', administered by the Welsh Government Rural Communities – Rural Development Programme'.
Alun Davies reading his lines, click to enlarge
This scheme can be traced back to 2013 when then Minister for Natural Resources and Food, Alun Davies, acting under orders from 'his' civil servants, transferred 15% of EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding from Pillar 1 (farmers) to Pillar 2 ('rural development projects').
Despite the order coming from London, via its Wales-based civil servants, 'Welsh' Labour enthusiastically endorsed this diktat and justified the decision by waffling about 'biodiversity', 'sustainability', 'parsnip trees', etc.
For the bruvvers had already been moving in that direction by becoming the first administration on Earth to surrender to a rabble of hippies by implementing the One Planet legislation in 2011. Since when things have snowballed.
Next came the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 with a Future Generations Commissar. And as I mentioned at the top, before Easter I reported on the 'Welsh Government' 'selling' five acres of good land on the outskirts of Aberteifi for just £1 to yet another a bunch of 'Gimme! Gimme!' Greens.
Though I'm pleased to report that resistance to this invasion is growing. People are angry that the planning regulations they must abide by can be flouted with impunity by people they are funding!
Resistance encouraged by those with designs on our country over-reaching themselves with their Summit to Sea extravaganza, a vast project that has George Monbiot and his playmates hoping to take over 10,000 hectares of land (and even more of sea!)
The Rewilding Britain website tells us that its partner in Summit to Sea is the Woodland Trust. To understand the quintessentially colonialist nature of this project listen to Natalie Buttriss, the Woodland Trust's Director of Wales, speaking about the project on BBC Radio 4's 'Farming Today' programme.
https://jacothenorth.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Natalie-Buttriss.wav
Or watch Rebecca Wrigley, Director of Rewilding Britain.
The attitude of these latter-day memsahibs is clear – 'If the locals don't like our plans then they can jolly well fuck off'. (From their own country.)
The truth must be faced that we have reached a stage where things done in the name of 'Wales' that are antithetical to the interests of the Welsh. Which in turn reveals, among other things, that devolution is nothing more than a confidence trick that allows our masters to filter their colonialist ambitions through their local management team.
This 'Welsh Government' is only too willing to comply because 'Welsh' Labour hates country people, and especially indigenous country people; with hairy-arsed, Welsh-speaking rustics being the favoured targets down at the Lord Tonypandy Memorial Firing Range. (Garters optional.)
And because it's a party of very woke and posturing planet-savers Plaid Cymru will support Monbiot and his memsahibs against Welsh farmers and the interest of the nation.
Everywhere we look we see Welsh people being elbowed out of attractive localities like Talyllychau. And as locals are squeezed out they are replaced by white flighters and good-lifers, grant grabbers, retirees and the human detritus of urban England. (This last category brought in by our housing associations.)
With these incomers funded with hundreds of millions of pounds that for some reason was never available for locals.
As we approach the third decade of the twenty-first century there's a welcome in the hillsides for just about anybody . . . except us. Last year I reminded you of the term coined by Martiniquais poet and political activist Aimé Césaire to describe this phenomenon, it was 'genocide by substitution'.
This is exactly what we see happening in Wales today – a deliberate and systematic strategy of replacing one people with another. A bloodless form of ethnic cleansing.

Education and training/entrance requirements
To become an Air Force officer you usually have to gain your HSC/ACT Year 12 with passes in English and three other broad subjects.
To join the RAAF you will need to successfully complete a series of aptitude tests, medical assessments and selection interviews.
If you are successful, there are four different education and training pathways for Air Force officers. You may apply to join the Air Force as a non-degree, direct-entry officer cadet; you may complete a degree through the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA); you may apply as a sponsored undergraduate; or you may apply after completing one of a selected range of specialist degrees. Entry to all officer cadet positions requires the completion of the 17-week Initial Officer Course at RAAF Base East Sale, Gippsland, Victoria. This is followed by specialist training with the RAAF.
Entry to ADFA usually requires you to gain your HSC/ACT Year 12 with passes in English and mathematics, as well as an appropriate score in prerequisite subjects relevant to your chosen area of study. All ADFA students are required to complete a 3-year course of academic study at the academy, followed by single service military training.
Sponsored undergraduates are full-time university students who are currently studying a degree relevant to the Air Force at a recognised tertiary institution. They can apply for sponsored undergraduate entry into the Air Force after having completed at least one year of their degree. Following completion of their specialised degree, they must then complete the 17-week Initial Officer Course before becoming officers in their specialised field.
People who have already completed a specialised degree may apply for direct entry into the Air Force as Graduate Officers. These applicants are required to complete the 17-week Initial Officer Course before undertaking training in their specialised field. Each specialised occupation has its own entry requirements.

Officer Aviation (OA) is the term the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) uses to group together all the officers who are responsible for the application of Air Power. In 2018 the RAAF moved away from using the previous "Employment Specialisations" terms of Air Combat Officer, Joint Battlefield Airspace Controller and Pilot and now uses "Operational Streams" to more accurately describe the roles. The term "Job Types" is used to indicate the environment that the streams perform their duties.
Officer Aviation manage and organise Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) combat missions, ensuring that missions are successfully completed in the most efficient and safest manner. They make real-time command and control decisions regarding the movements and actions undertaken by combat forces. They perform surveillance and control duties on the ground and in the air to locate and identify air and surface targets, disseminate this information to associated units, operate mission systems, undertake search and rescue missions, detect and identify warships, illegal fishing boats and merchant vessels, and offer tactical support to combat missions.
The term "Air Combat Officer" is now NOT used.
Alternative names: Mission Aircrew, Air Combat Officer, ACO
Fast Jet Pilot (FJP). FJPs fly F/A-18 Hornet aircraft and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft.
Remote Pilot (REP). REPs pilots control Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA).
Fixed Wing Pilot (FWP). The pilots who fly the remainder of the aircraft (not Fast Jet or Remote) in the RAAF are called FWPs.
Weapons Systems Officer (WSO). WSOs operate systems from the back-seat of F/A-18F Super Hornets and E/A-18G Growlers.
Maritime Patrol and Response Officer (MRPO). MPR OAs fill the Tactical Officer (TACCO) and CO-TACCO roles of P8 Poseidon Aircraft and other specialist surveillance aircraft.
Air Mobility Officer (AMO). AMOs perform the role of the Air Refuelling Operator on board KC30A Multi-role Tanker Transport Aircraft. They are also work with the KC30A pilots to plan and coordinate refuelling and Air Mobility sorties.
Air Battle Manager (ABMs). ABMs control the tactical battlespace; controlling, coordinating and integrating an array of ADF and Coalition aircraft and forces in combat operations. An ABM can perform these duties from within the air environment in an E-7A Wedgetail Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft using on-board radar and sensors, or from within the ground environment using ground based radars. ABMs also conduct surveillance operations to inform and shape the mission using long-range sensors and satellite technology.
Air Traffic Controller (ATC). RAAF Air Traffic Controllers control all Australian Defence Force (ADF) Air Bases and some joint user aerodromes within Australia (Newcastle, Townsville and Darwin). However, what makes RAAF ATC different from civil controllers is that they can also assume some control responsibilities on the battlefield such as de-confliction of artillery and air delivered weapons, and aircraft operations. RAAF ATC can also be asked to operate at short notice from established and temporary airfields anywhere within Australia and overseas.
You will need is confidence, a sense of competitiveness, commitment to a long journey of training and study, and a dogged determination to succeed. A sense of humour will also help to get through the intense training and critique that is involved along the way.

The working environment for a Pilot, regardless of Service is in the cockpit of an aircraft and flying the aircraft.
The working environment for a Maritime Aviation Warfare Officers is in the cockpit of a Navy Helicopter, performing the duties of a mission commander, as well as other cockpit duties.
Mission Aircrew perform their duties as part of the crew of a RAAF aircraft, but do not fly the aircraft.
Mission Controllers do not fly as part of the crew of an aircraft; they perform their duties in the ground environment.
Officers Aviation often work in stressful combat situations and may be required to make decisions that affect the personal safety of others. They work in all types of conditions during combat missions. They work irregular hours and have to do shift work. Officers Aviation may work at one of the many RAAF facilities around the state, either in metropolitan or regional areas.
Officers Aviation use a range of air combat equipment and mission systems including aircraft systems, electronic warfare equipment, radar and infra-red targeting systems and weaponry.
To become an Officer Aviation in the Australian Defence Force you can choose from multiple entry pathways. You can apply for:
direct entry through the Officer Training School in Gippsland, for people without a degree,
a degree program through the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra,
a Defence University Sponsorship in a specifically approved field of study, and complete your undergraduate degree at a university of your choice, or
a Graduate Officer position, if you have already completed a university degree in a specialist field such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, law or chaplaincy.
To apply to the Air Force, you will need to undergo a series of written, physical, psychological and medical checks and interviews. You will also need to undergo a National Police History Check and pass the Officer Selection Board.
Successful applicants are required to complete a 17 week Initial Officer Course, followed by an Officer Aviation course at RAAF Base East Sale, in Gippsland, Victoria. Following graduation from the OA training, Officers Aviation progress into their chosen specialisation within the Royal Australian Air Force.
You can also become an Officer Aviation on a part time basis in the Air Force Reserves.
"The next 10 years [2017 - 2027] will see significant changes in the Air Force as the Service transitions to a networked force. The Air Force seeks to translate an information advantage, enabled in part by information technology, into a competitive warfighting advantage through the robust networking of well informed geographically dispersed forces. The networked Air Force will require highly motivated and professional Air Combat Officers (ACOs) to make real time command and control decisions in a 3-dimensional environment, effectively being a mission manager who will ensure the mission is successfully completed in the most efficient, safe manner.
Following graduation from initial employment training, OAs will be streamed into one of three specific areas of employment; Air Battle Management (ABM), Air Combat (ACCAL) and Maritime Patrol and Response (MPR). The specific roles undertaken by ACOs within each stream are detailed below.
Air Battle Management
OAs selected for employment within the ABM stream will perform surveillance and control duties using complex electronic command and control systems in both the ground and air environments. You will operate as part of a team in the Air Defence Ground Environment (ADGE) or in the airborne environment on board the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft. Regardless of the environment, you will operate technically advanced systems including radar, communications, tactical data links and electronic support measures in the accomplishment of your assigned mission. Throughout the conduct of your mission you will operate these systems to detect, locate and identify air and surface targets and disseminate this information using a number of different communication and information systems.
OAs selected for the Air Combat stream will be employed as aircrew on the F/A-18F Super Hornet. In the Super Hornet, teamed up with the Pilot, you will operate state of the art mission systems including aircraft systems, electronic warfare equipment, sensors including radar and infra red targeting systems and weapons. Roles of the Super Hornet are varied and complex in nature and include air-to-air combat, air-to-ground and air-to-surface weapons employment. You will be at the heart of Australia's Air Combat Capability.
Maritime Patrol and Response
OAs selected for employment within the MPR stream will perform the duties of a mission commander, otherwise known as a Tactical Coordinator (TACCO) on board the AP-3C Orion. You will operate as part of a crew performing a variety of missions including anti-surface strike, anti-submarine strike, search and rescue; and maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
You will be also be involved in the detection of illegal, maritime activity, counter-piracy operations and even over-land operations providing critical intelligence directly to both conventional and special operations forces. To put it simply, you are an integral part of a team with responsibility for the defence of Australia's sea-gap; and wider areas of strategic interest. With the introduction of the P-8 Poseidon aircraft (in 2018), you will be at the forefront of military aviation technology.
P-8 Poseidon
In the future, OAs will also be needed to transition emerging capabilities such as Space, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Joint Terminal Attack Control. OAs will continue to provide essential support and direction to assist in transitioning capabilities that they might not be directly employed in such as the Joint Strike Fighter. ACOs, together with Pilots, will make up an Air Force Battle-space Command and Control personnel group who will be responsible for the direct application of air power in any theatre of operations on a global scale.
OAs, together with Pilots, are not only the air warriors of today, they are the future leaders of the Air Force."
