Because were in a slumber and WAG is not that concerned about the economy in my humble view .
What gets me is that live music is allowed a few miles away but not here, as this article says. I took a look at the Music Venue Trust web where there's a map of all the gigs they know about. Not much in Wales and when you check it out you find it's all maybe, if, hopefully, later in the year etc. Either leave the venues closed or let them do their job. Why not in Wales? My humble view.

Why do people get so outraged if something is different from England in Wales? Isn't that the point of having a Welsh government?
Wales was praised on Radio 4 this morning for having the best vaccine rollout in the world and surpassing even Israel.Quote:

Really that's surprising - Israel were miles ahead at one point.Quote:

This makes no sense.
Why do you think it makes no sense? Just because there's a soft border doesn't mean that the Welsh government has to agree with and comply with Westminster?Quote:

I heard recently that it is illegal to even sing along to a tune on the juke box.
This can't be right shirley.

Why not have crowds at Welsh football clubs?
Test events need to be managed properly. Head of Premier League was saying events had gone well but testing process was a difficult process.
What is the percentage of people in Wales that are fully vaccinated? I can only find information for first doses.
29.8% for Wales and 59% for Israel according to https://ourworldindata.org/Quote:

It won't be long, the vaccines are very effective at stopping serious illness, combined with those that have had the disease the immunity within society must be high and only getting better. But we will wait and see what happens in England first.
Oh.Quote:
