I'm not interested in articles that laud the government, nor blame them for everything. The reality is far more nuanced.

Decisions were easier for Welsh Govt as they know the big economic decisions have to be made by Westminster, and they are happy with that. There's much less risk involved.

But I don't particularly praise or critique the Welsh Govt either. Or the Scottish, or the Italian, US, or New York State or any other government.

It's been a nightmare pandemic and very difficult to manage, with some things done well and some badly.

But, an article that totally ignores facts and presents a distorted image of reality - no, I don't like that. It's making a cheap political point and should be called out for such.

If there was a right-wing journalist in a right-wing newspaper claiming the Welsh Govt were the biggest problem and illustrated that with zero facts whatsoever, you would see it. Because it isn't, you decide to gloss over it, or in this instance, activity promote it. But that article, opinion piece as it may be is borderline misinformation.
Your absurd antidote to this is to read another article from a different publication i.e. The Daily Mail which is ideological, ignores facts, lies, and presents a distorted image all the name of tolerance and balance. You're actually no genius Mr J but merely a Trojan Horse of a debater. You aren't an analytical thinker nor are you balanced in any way. Anyone who uses the term lefty has just exposed their bias in neon letters.

I'm off to read Kafka's Metamorphosis in equal measure along with Mein Kampf so I ensure there's a sense of balance between two works of fiction.
