'Clwb Ifor Bach is what I love about Cardiff' JOIN THE ONLINE DEBATE.

On luxury flats destroying Cardiff's cultural venues The Clwb Ifor Bach is exactly what I love about Cardiff.

It has become a huge part of our cultural heritage.

I just hope that the planners and decision-makers will realise how important such places are.

Unfortunately, some of the decisions around the city show a lack of awareness of three dimensions - witness the height of some of the recent buildings in inappropriate locations - even including the more recent construction near City Hall.

I hope their awareness of culture is more advanced!

Culture? Doesn't even get a look in.

You are dealing with a government of Philistines whose main priority is the appeasement of the developers. Even in the environmental debate it's the developers' aims that take priority over all else. So you can forget Clwb Ifor Bach; it'll become a block of flats. And the same goes for any other cultural venue or green area that is valuable to local communities that the developers have their avaricious eyes on.

Will Brown take us into the euro?

I dont think Gordon Brown would take UK into euro as a scorched earth policy. But he might do it as a last roll of the dice. If it is beginning to look like he cannot avoid defeat, he could take us into the euro to try and change the whole election debate.

Like the thinking, but under those circmstances if he is in that much trouble that he proposes the euro as a diversion, he's dead anyway.

I still believe IF (a big if) he does it, he will impose it on us saying he knows best. Wonder what odds you can get on it?
