The Assembly is so full of its own self importance that it has declined a request to allow scenes to be filmed for the new James Bond movie "Spectre" at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay.
A statement from the WA is quoted by the South Wales Argus:
"The Senedd's Siambr is the home of Welsh democracy and seat of government for Wales.Self important pillocks!
Some media activity is allowed in the Siambr when it relates to the work of the assembly or reflects the Siambr's status as the focal point of Welsh civic life.
It is not a drama studio.
Decisions on requests from the creative industries to use the assembly's estate are made on a case by case basis, and we are proud to have collaborated with many television and film companies on drama productions such as Sherlock and Dr Who .
The request by James Bond to use the Siambr was turned down and they were offered alternative locations on the estate which they subsequently declined."
The Queen was happy to be filmed, and have Buck House used as a set for the opening of the Olympics, for a James Bond sketch. Evidently the WA thinks itself above the Queen, even though it is playing the part of a drama queen over this request.

A great shame, as it would be the first occasion that anything remotely useful happened in that hugely expensive box of hot air.
