I have noticed Welsh people are generally very loyal people, almost to the point of being gutless so I have to agree with your comment. Having lived in Canada, Australia, NZ they all are very passionate about their own and the stuff they do well, Welsh are often dismissive and lacking in any belief of their own products, companies, culture. Wales has done a lot of for the world for the size/stature of the country but the lack of self belief in society is suffocating.

This. Too many aspirational Tories. Too many royalists. Too many people afraid to do anything. Leaving the UK and joining the EU is a political and financial no-brainer. We'd have a say, and we'd get a TON of investment.

This 100%, completely agree. Agree with every single point, how a government can make another countries taxpayer pay for its own rail network is frankly absurd but people just accept it and complain we are too weak, poor etc. The furlough disaster in 2020 when Wales was rejected an extension only for it to be put in place a week later when England needed it showed exactly the pecking order of the UK, regardless if Wales pays in more/less tax, Wales should be able to access Welsh taxpayers funds, especially in the middle of a pandemic.
