ER Editor: We wouldn’t ordinarily go for a story like this because who really cares? And whoever gets appointed (not elected, note), it’s going to be another major disappointment and sell-out of the people.
However, it also seems to be a further provocation on some level. As well as illustrating the utter failure of affirmative action. Some tweets, with the most pointed and relevant first —
In card terms this is what’s called, I believe, a full house now that Vaughan Gething is confirmed leader of Wales
Could you imagine a white person ever achieving such positions in any of these guys countries of heritage
No me neither

Zambia-born Vaughan Gething becomes Welsh First Minister, meaning every national leader in “systemically racist” Great Britain (Gething 🏴, Rishi Sunak 🇬🇧, Humza Yousaf 🏴) is an ethnic minority. Interestingly, they were all appointed by the political class between elections. pic.twitter.com/A5cF6C8lFe

‘Three Largely Mediocre Politicians’
The political ascendancy of Rishi Sunak, Humza Yousaf, and Vaughan Gething, shows that British democracy is an open-minded and tolerant one.
But make no mistake, we are talking about three largely mediocre politicians with highly questionable judgement.https://t.co/D465pOHjta

🚨 | Vaughan Gething – ‘Following a security rebuild all of the WhatsApp messages were wiped’
💥 Was told many months earlier to retain correspondence – not done.
💬 Confirms he was in a WhatsApp group with Mark Drakeford – who told the Welsh Parliament he didn’t use it

Aha!
Vaughan Gething is the new FM.
Chosen by only 0.64% of the Welsh population.
Doesn’t that say everything….
about the state of democracy here?
It’s almost like something out of the old Soviet bloc.
Surely there’s a case to be made
that the FM position
should be directly…

Covid rule breaking Wales Labour leader Vaughan Gething refuses to return dodgy £200k campaign donation
Stinking Labour hypocrisy at its worse ! https://t.co/NqgOjb55tE

If Vaughan Gething is elected , we shall have Welsh First Minister a politician who has repeatedly shown a disdain for scrutiny, an antipathy towards openness and a tendency to surround himself with sycophants.
A disaster for good governance.https://t.co/0TjW6BtZRp

3 of the 4 UK leaders are now unelected & yet we pretend we are still a democracy. Labour have been demanding, since Sunak became PM for an election due to him not being elected, I assume Labour will call an immediate Welsh election rt@davidjobrexit https://t.co/edgWNyUV5t

People of Wales. Stop voting for these globalists/socialists. They are destroying your country and turning it into a third world hell hole. Vote for independent candidates and get rid of them. #VoteIndependent pic.twitter.com/CinVsjTL5O

Remember the furore and hope around Obama getting elected in the US way back? We’re going to find out how that really turned out. Hopefully soon.
Bluster, fluster and ‘word salad’ nonsense: Vaughan Gething ducks and weaves like a boxer at the Welsh Covid Inquiry
********
For some bog-standard reporting, see The Guardian —
Who is Vaughan Gething, the new Welsh Labour leader?
Politico.eu has more interesting reporting —
Vaughan Gething — meet Europe’s first Black head of government
And he has already angered critics by accepting donations worth £200,000 from a firm run by a man convicted of environmental offenses. Miles’ supporters also claimed that he was the victim of a “stitch-up” for the way Wales’ largest union, Unite, declared support for Gething. (Gething and Unite insist rules were followed.)
The dreaded Brexit ratio
“This result is very, very difficult for the Labour Party,” said Richard Wyn Jones, professor of Welsh Politics at Cardiff University. “This was a very unhappy contest … and there is a very widespread feeling amongst Mr. Gething’s opponents that he has basically bought his way to the leadership.”

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

LOL, agreed. Affirmative action is going down the tubes rapidly.
He’s not black. He’s a light mulatto. Why is it that even light mulattos are called black, but never white? Even a drop of black or dark dna always eradicates the white. Well, happy “affirmative action” to him.
