Conservative Assembly Member David Melding's latest bizarre idea is to turn City Hall into a Royal Palace.
Not only is the City Hall owned by the people of Cardiff but the cost of turning it into a Royal Palace would be hugely exorbitant in the middle of an economic crisis not seen since the Second World War.
And why should we have a Palace in the capital that might be used a few times of year when the Royals make their sojourns to Wales? It was only fairly recently that Prince Charles deemed to buy a house in Wales.
It seems David Melding has no sense of the history of Cardiff, even though he is a member of the Cardiff-based Welsh Assembly.
His last suggestion was to remove the John Batchelor statue, again part of Cardiff's history, and replace it with a more well known person.
The suggestion is that David Melding may be targeting voters who support Plaid Cymru because of its backing for the Welsh language but have strong conservative instincts.
His City Hall idea is yet another non-starter. It really seems as he's got too much time on his hands.
