Ieuan, Elfin and Dafydd been to Ponty on a flying visit have they? I heard they are looking to put a nuclear power station on the old phurnacite site in the Cynon. Its to link up with the new one near Aberystwyth and the replacement at Wylfa.

Perhaps it was an emergency visit from the Caerphilly Labour Party .....

Apparently there are many 'rainbow flags' around the world, and the colours seem to represent the following ... (wikipedia)
Quote: European history - "The use of rainbow flags as a sign of diversity, inclusiveness, hope and of yearning has a long history ... (wikipedia)
Like the rainbow, this flag is a symbol of hope and peace. The seven colours from flags around the world fly in harmony. Each of the seven
colours in the co-operative flag have been assigned the following meaning:
red: stands for courage;
orange: offers the vision of possibilities;
yellow: represents the challenge that GREEN has kindled;
green: indicates a challenge to co-operators to strive for growth of membership and of understanding of the aims and values of co-operation;
sky blue: suggests far horizons, the need to provide education and help less fortunate people and strive toward global unity.
dark blue: suggests pessimism: a reminder that less fortunate people have needs that may be met through the benefits of cooperation.
violet: is the colour of warmth, beauty, and friendship.
I don't know if this helps at all ?
Of course there's always this site that combines both the Red Welsh Dragon and the Rainbow ...

Fabulous, red Welsh dragon on a rainbow striped background.

If you're wondering ... it's a website selling Lesbian and Gay Pride Rainbow Flags and Ribbon
(don't ask ! I visited purely to assist here ... honest ! No, really !)
Cheers ...
