As the Welsh and Scottish mark 10 years since the dawn of devolution can we wish them a happy birthday?
It is arguable that we can not.
Devolution has been and will continue to be a disaster for the United Kingdom. Rather than taking the sting out of the Nationalist tail, the approach of the current British government has allowed a much more dangerous creature to be born.
We can see this in the clamour from Cardiff for primary legislation-making powers and the earful emanating from Edinburgh with an SNP-led minority government.
The devolution disaster can and should be tackled by whoever forms the next government.
