Yes, the new guy needs the 2/3rds majority to overturn and amend the changes Orban introduced. There are claims he packed the supposed independent judiciary with his own people, curtailed the freedom of the press and was responsible for rampant corruption. It appears that his government had...

Sounds really good and it’s nice to see a bit of ambition. The article mentions the concourses being small etc, and a poor stadium experienced and it’s a fair point. When I watch Wales at the CCS the difference between the concourses is striking and TBH it’s a much better experience. There’s...

All 4 served the club with distinction. I can’t remember Wyndham, but certainly remember the other 3, for me Rangel edges it because of what the club achieved at the time and the quality of the opposition he was playing against. Someone mentioned Frank Burrows earlier, I had a lot of time for...

Given the choice, I will always pick Cardiff but it does have a smaller choice of destinations. In terms of price, Cardiff is usually more expensive and but it’s not always the case. When I flew to Malaga last year Cardiff was cheaper than Bristol and a much nicer experience, we caught the train...

Yes, it really does my head in. I’d ban gambling ads.

I went through Malaga about 6 months ago. To access the non Schengen area I had to go through Border control which was after the main security area and duty free/restaurant area. There were around 12 positions for passport inspection, but less than half were open and there was a a queue. We got...

There’s big advantages in going self employed especially if you’ve got a pension rolling in because you’ll be able to pick and choose what you want to do. The downside is potentially being inundated with work especially if you’re part time and someone who cares and doesn’t like letting people...

The situation with the NHS wasn’t great in the 90s and public dissatisfaction with the state of affairs was one of the reasons Blair swept to power. The situation in the NHS improved during the 2000’s with the record levels of investment, but it went down hill again post 2010 and significant...

If you’re going on a shortish trip, have a think about Salou. We went there on a last minute cheapie holiday a few years ago and we were quite impressed to be honest. It doesn’t have the 5 star hotels and resorts (most are 3 or 4 star) but it did have a really decent beach, a great prom, good...

The point you make about money being wasted may well be valid, but there are quite a few countries who have agreements to send patients who need specialist care to other countries including Norway, England and Denmark for starters. We should always aim to provide the best possible care here, but...

Agreed. If the Americans and or Israelis end up putting boots on the ground it could get pretty ugly for them. Vietnam and Afghanistan didn’t go too well for the west. The IRGC are religious zealots, reasoning with people who are prepared to die for their cause is a tall order. Chuck in the...

I recently read that the 2021 census identified that between 20 and 21% of the population (636,000) of Wales was born in England. Around 905,000 people liv8ng in Wales were born outside of Wales. There wasn’t a great deal of context around the figures, but I’d have thought that kind of...

I really liked Seville, we went there a few years ago and had a great time. It’s one place I’d definitely return to. The airport is fairly large, but it’s not as busy as the airports on the Costas and you should be fine. Enjoy.

The hospitals you’ve highlighted above are in the main world class centres of excellence, replicating them anywhere would be difficult as there aren’t enough experts in the fields to have multiple sites. That’s why patients from all over England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are referred...

Just done a bit of googling, I can see what you mean.
