Hi
@ILovesTheDiff
@ceri
. I have launched a petition following your tweets. Great idea I Loves The Diff. We are calling on Cardiff Council to name a small road near to the new Bus Station as 'Cheers Drive'. It would bring a smile to many faces. Please sign

to serve the people of Cardiff North. Mo is all about the people and local issues and has a work ethic which is second to none. Working hard gets rewards and I hope to see him elected as my MP.

Just a handful of protestors outside the Assembly shouting ‘boo’. Shame people don’t have respect for people holding high office. There’s many more constructive ways of getting your voice heard. They were very small in number, however, and appeared to have no traction!

I cannot understand the decision by Welsh Government to stop licensed premises selling alcohol - I can understand decisions regarding closures, time limits (10pm) but closing at 6pm and not being able to sell a product which is fundamental to their business makes no sense at all.

Another day. Another meeting with the Police. More unbelievably awful messages.
Investigations continue, so I’m confident the culprit or culprits will be caught. It’s making me work harder each time I’m abused which will irritate the bullies!
