Re: Lose Welsh Assembly Petition Growing Save 70.Million Per Year

It would be better to petition to stop the increase in the number of member of the Sennydd. Together with the associated increase in staff and 'advisers' how much is it going to take out of the budget.
It could be better spent on other things.. (Like road signs ) or health care or care in the community?

Or child poverty or human trafficking or modern slavery

People getting their knickers in a twist over a 20 mph in residential areas when we have a shit storm on our doorsteps that has been created by all politicians regardless of their rosette colour cos they are all fecked in the head and useless and out to line their own pockets - certain subjects need to be left out of politics because the problems are not going to be solved by a parliamentary term of office they are generational and need time to solve bit people too busy point scoring when it all turns to shit

Is that the case for all governments or just the Welsh one?

As this 20mph protest goes on, it’s pretty evident its mask has slipped and is no more than a Tory attempt to do away with a government that happens not to be Tory. The Tory response to voting against them? Disband the government. Very democratic.

Really? 450,000 people signed it. And a handful of people on a Cardiff City messageboard subsequently talking about scrapping the Welsh parliament - an opinion that has always had traction and some support ever since it was created.

Tories are obviously going to try to exploit opposition to this policy because that's politics. I do also think there is some genuine ideological water between the parties too on this mind

Re: Lose Welsh Assembly Petition Growing Save 70.Million Per Year

Funny you should say that if I was English I'd be done with Welsh, Scottish, Irish, they all hate them , on their own England would prosper and save on the crazy subsidies they dish out.. English taxpayers pay a lot for that hatred .

I have friends over the bridge who think the same.
I would much rather abandon the terms English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish and instead just have the word British.
Like any partnership - it's not exactly fair and square at the moment. We get back more than we contribute - so why would the 'English' vote to get rid.
If we were all lumped in together as one - there wouldnt be an us vs them debate - other than from the usual bog eyed cretins

I usually disagree with your posts but on this one I'm with you 100%. I hate to see the break up of the UK and, in my opinion, a Federal organisation would have been far better than devolution which I detest.

I used to regard myself as British and felt proud, even serving 6 years in the army. Now I no longer call myself British after the way the Tories have trashed this country and its reputation over the last 13 years.

This was once a nation that supported those struggling with life, mostly through no fault of their own, now almost all ladders and safety nets have been removed. During this time governments has increased the burden on the ordinary worker, whilst allowing the wealthy to use multiple tax loopholes to avoid paying their fair share of tax, whilst cutting the number of tax prosecution of wealthy tax evaders through cuts to HMRC. They have abrogated their responsibility for looking after the poorest and have turned us into a country of food banks

They have trashed our reputation as a country that follows the rules of law and that of adhering to treaties and agreements. They are talking about removing us from the European court of Human Rights, aligning us with Russia and Belarus. The reputation we had was hard won but will extremely be hard to regain.

We used to a country that had a reputation of getting things done, but the miss-management of the country over the last 13 years has turned us into a country where nothing no works and delays are the norm.

I am no longer a proud Britain, I now regard myself as just Welsh.

1. Thank you for your service.
2. I had a good friend who executed by the side of the road in Iraq. He had a wife and 3 kids.
3. Unfortunately we went to war in Iraq based on 1 big lie and the war in Afghan was equally as futile given the end result.
4. Defence reviews have been conducted by both red and blue over the years and spending is based on where they think the threat is coming from.

If you can think of a legal way to solve the small boats issue - please let us all know. As so far - every method has failed.

With such a low turn out , it’s argued it shouldn’t have been possible in the first place. Cardiff voted No

Re: Lose Welsh Assembly Petition Growing Save 70.Million Per Year

Why any Welsh person is happy being ruled by England is beyond me. If you're happy with that, support England in all sports. Show your allegiance with England. Then fck off and leave Wales to those who love Wales.

Any Welshman happy being ruled by England isn't a true Welshman.

Where not were ruled by a second rate Welsh Assembly and third rate First Minister who in the last 20 years have done very little for Wales other than hold it back .

If it wasn't for the evil Westminster funding government sector jobs in Wales like WAG , ONS, Patent Office , Companies House, DVLA , Wales could be in trouble , in fact the Welsh economy is dangerously over-reliant on the public sector..

I was born in Wales originating from Central London stock , who were sadly bombed out in WW2 , and ame and happily embraced Wales and added value .. no chip on thier shoulder or hatred .
