I think it’s important to try and show Doucas that not all people of a certain age are like he thinks they are, but I was telling my nephew and nieces a decade ago that they’ve got little to thank my generation for - they’re all around the thirty mark now and their lot is much worse now than it was when I told them that. When I think back to what my life was like at thirty, it was a doddle compared to what they have to face up to now. So, although Doucas goes too far at times for me, I do look at the world and what it’s become in the last six and seven years and think that it might start to be a better place again when the generation I belong to are either dead and gone or there’s not enough of us left to exercise the amount of power we have at the moment.
As for the gas price rise, it’s obscene and, although I don’t think you can get too party political about why it’s the price it is, I think the UK Government’s (don’t know how the Welsh Government responded so can’t comment on them) non action yesterday was also obscene and a disgrace which I hope voters remember come polling day.
