If you mean Ineos not coming to Bridgend because of the cancellation of the M4 relief road, then check the dates. Ineos agreed to consider Bridgend about 3 months after the relief road was cancelled.

I agree HS2 is likely to be a waste of money but the M4 Relief Road so clearly isn't. The fact the Johnson mentioned at PMQs that the money was available probably means the road will never be built as the Welsh government seemingly will want to demonstrate its independence to the detriment of South Wales.

Big mistake, in my opinion, opening a load of amenities at the same time, could be difficult to spot the source of an increase in cases. I’m glad I’m living in Wales watching how it pans out for our English guinea pigs, we’ve come so far it’d be a sickener to catch it now, it’d be like being shot at ten to eleven on Armistice Day.
What about the attitude of the estimated 500000 people who swamped bournemouth from all over England the other day ?
Do you think they were " mindful " of others ? Were they positive and getting on with things ?
It looked like a load of english people ignoring social distancing and putting others at risk to me
What do you think when you drive through Ely (not in any way knocking Ely) up Cowbridge Rd, through Culverhouse Cross and then into the Vale? There’s massive differences all over the UK, England certainly can’t blow its own trumpet re. Eliteness, there are some horrendous places over the border, many areas are right scary and intimidating and are certainly lacking in wealth and prosperity.
Parts of the vale of glamorgan could be surrey stockbroker commuter belt , parts of the vale have high levels of poverty
Anyone who thinks england is all happiness and light should visit parts of easton in bristol , the swilley in plymouth , inner city birmingham , parts of hackney etc
I do think we need a more dynamic country ,however its not going to be easy as its never going to changer its political landscape.
we have control over business rates ,transport infrastructure a dynamic country woudl expose those so they become competitive and business friendly.
Do you really think that? The WG are reliant on the scientific information produced in London and then the Welsh put their own stamp on it. Wales will follow England but will put their own slant on it. It's probably more to do with the WG wanting to be seen to be independent that is the main driver.
"How can you not permit people into a stadium because of social distancing guidelines/rules, whilst allowing 30 footballers, support staff etc. to be as close as physically possible?" (AQM, 17/04/20)
"If social distancing is still in place then how can footballers, staff, etc avoid contact - one rule for one, one rule for another isn't going to go down well. Secondly, by the end of the year there'll be no sponsorship in football. Even if my first point is overcome, no-one is going to pay to watch football played behind closed doors. I doubt any club could pay wages. The only people working will be those in the public sector, and who will be paying them? For those not working - prob 5-6 million, and those furloughed, paying a monthly fee to watch pampered players stroll around an empty ground isn't really going to happen either." (AQM, 23/04/20)
"You'd have to test anything up to 200 each game. If someone comes back positive after a game you would have to restrict both teams for more testing, and waiting, and teams they are going to play, and them, and so on. Having a few thousand people travelling everywhere throughout England and Wales every 3-4 days could probably be one of the worst options." (AQM, 23/04/20)
"The so-called Premier League start up behind closed doors is fraught with problems, and I suspect will draw objections from all areas of society." (AQM, 30/04/20)
"The 'new normal' - the government locks the people up whenever they consider it's in the public interest." (AQM, 28/05/20)
A Quiet Monkfish - unerringly positive throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
I find it quite nauseating that Boris has said the UK government is going to intervene and get it build. Given the number of projects that would have benefitted Wales that the Tories have decided not to fund after all (electrification of the line to Swansea and beyond etc), for them to make political of this reeks of crass opportunism.
On first minister's Questions this week someone asked Drakeford about the money offereed by the UK Government and could it be used to fund the alternative if one was found.
He said (quite rudely) 'I've pot no idea where the member gets this information from. the UK government hasn't offered any money, never has offered any money and will not offer any money. It's a figment of your imagination"
