shit rag i know,but you can't ignore the hate
The Daily Fail and it's readers are defined by their hate for various things.
Living in a permanent state of outrage must be tiring.
Fair play to Drakeford, it took Oliver Cromwell 16 months to turn over Chester.
The article underneath descrbes the situation in Northwest England, highest infection rates, NHS under massive pressure, staff shortages in schools etc. The hypocracy would be beyond belief, if it wasn’t in the Daily Mail.
Logic would indicate it's less a hatred of the Welsh and more a hatred of the remarkable double standards. Chester FC have never been regarded as a Welsh club, policing has been responsible by an English police force not Welsh; taxation etc would have been under English control not Welsh.Quote:

Out of interest, are TNS playing behind closed doors?
Is this the defend Drakeford thread on the subject? If so, I'm in. There's an antimatter one below for those of a different ilk 😜
Oops, looks like I posted too early, before the Logic machine turned its plug on. 😶
There ia an old law which states that it is OK to kill a Welshman in Chester on a Sunday with a bow and arrow as long as its within the city walls and after midnight.Quote:

I heard they pay rates to Flintshire, their bar is licenced by Flintshire and they claimed some benefit off either the Welsh Government or Flintshire council during one of the earlier rounds of the pandemic (seen something on their message board yesterday can be arsed to trawl through pages of the stuff on there again).Quote:

Have read that’s the case with NDBR, etc too. I imagine the police issue is probably one of logistical convenience for match days, given how the border between the two countries has developed and where this ground sits in relation to that. Seems an odd place to have built a relatively new ground in the first place, so close to different administrative borders but I can’t say I’m well acquainted with that part of the world.Quote:

There's a little village of Evanstown, near Gilfach Goch, which is in the Bridgend local authority. Gilfach Goch is in RCT. There's only one road in and out of Evanstown, which runs through Gilfach. Until a few years ago, Bridgend refuse lorries would make the decent journey to Evanstown until a deal was struck and now RCT lorries serve the small village.
My point is that there are occasionally these little quirks and are best solved when there's a bit of common sense applied.
One of the most popular sites in Canyon Country is Four Corners Monument. This unique location marks the point at which the borders of four different U.S. states meet: Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. It's the only place in the United States where you can be in 4 states at the same time!Quote:

Welsh zealots, or being over zealous is pretty apt here isn't it?
It's a total joke of a situation. Why would anyone defend this?
Great, that will save time en route to Vegas when the wife wants to see more of the states.Quote:
