Welsh First Minister, Mark Drakeford, eagerly jumped on the Scottish gender recognition band wagon suggesting that Wales should have its own self-identification system.
Proposed plans to make it simpler for someone to legally change their gender were subsequently unveiled by the Welsh government despite much criticism of Nicola Sturgeon's stance.
More recently the Welsh government announced that major road building projects in Wales are to be scrapped in a move to 'put environment first'.
That is reminiscent of the First Minister's decision to scrap the M4 relief road around Newport in South Wales leading to "permanent tailbacks on the M4".
Described as a 'Kick in the teeth' for North Wales the latest move has again attracted some well deserved criticism that citizens have been ignored.
The best thing the First Minister of Wales could do is to once again follow the lead of the Scottish First Minister and resign taking his crackpot obsessions with him.
