Petition demanding penis for all dragons on Welsh flags gains traction

Aug 31 2021

A campaign has amassed massive support in demanding that the red dragon on the Welsh flag be given a penis. The petition is an official Welsh Government initiative, calling for the mythical beast and national symbol to be able to flash it’s privates on all flags flown on public buildings. As of writing this article, around 623 people have signed the petition and, considering that any petition with more than 50 signatures will be discussed by the Petitions committee, it seems as though the dragon might just get to show off its phallus.

Those in support pointed out how millions of coins featuring the Royal Mint’s Welsh dragon had penises added to them. These were added to the £1 and £20 coins by coin artists near Cardiff. The petition was initiated by artist Rhyn Williams who researched ancient depictions of the Welsh dragon. Were the petition to reach 10,000 signatures, it would be considered for full debate in Cardiff Bay in the Welsh Assembly headquarters. Williams questioned why the dragon was ‘made a eunuch’ in the first place, attributing it to either obscenity, politics or plain forgetfulness.

PN proposes more PE lessons in bid to fight obesity

Aug 31 2021

As part of their strategy to battle obesity, the Nationalist Party stated how physical education is crucial and should thus be given a priority and an overall boost. Addressing a press conference, the Nationalist Party also stated that a government led by Bernard Grech would work on a national study on the existing obesity strategy. The press conference, addressed by education spokesperson Clyde Puli and candidate Justin Schembri, revealed how the country is still facing a problem with obesity, being a major public health challenge and in how it is viewed in the Mediterranean.

The PN urged the Sport Promotion Unit to be strengthened, with each school having its own physical education teachers operating for a full week. The Opposition promises to bring a radical change in thought when it comes to this subject by involving and consulting all stakeholders, from teachers to parents to students themselves. The PN’s belief that the schools can be the catalysts to overcoming this crisis is backed by the promotion of healthier diets and monitoring of such practices.

A post shared by @maitlandniles

In the story, he says “All I wanna do is go where I’m wanted and where I’m gonna play”, followed up with three crying emoji’s. In the story he also tags Arsenal in an attempt to get a response from them.

The right back turned midfielder is said to be wanting to move up north to Liverpool to play with Everton. New Everton coach Rafael Benítez reportedly wants the player too, as he admires his great versatility and attitude. Ainsley spent the second half of last year on loan at West Bromwich Albion where he got to play regularly in his preferred position of centre midfielder.

Ainsley will be hoping for a move but it isn’t looking quite good for him, as reports have come out that Arsenal would like to keep him for depth. All the player wants is game time, all we can do is hope that he’ll get the playing time he deserves.
