To be fair if you read what I said I’m literally saying that I’m not sure whether it’s party performance related or structural and it’s not long established so there’s no certainty about long term survival especially in these very extreme political times. I do think the level of political...

I can’t really answer that for you and I’ve long bored everyone on here moaning about the one party state in Wales because I just think we’ve gone backwards ever since the WAG was established. The 90s was a very optimistic time for Wales, cool cymru and all that. We were a hotbed for...

Where is the media holding him to account? They have a lot to answer for. The right will of course turn a blind eye and the left just obsess over “racism” that’s already priced in. If they went heavy on this stuff it could cut through.

Much more successful, lots of inward investment then.

Maybe. I’m self aware enough to recognise I might be being unfair and it’s a case of time that’s required. But it really needs to start improving not a bit but dramatically. There isn’t a proper revising chamber which for all its faults the Lords does have the expertise and experience to amend...

In addition to my post it will refreshing to see plaid having a go but we have to remember they’ve been junior partner on a number of occasions and are very similar to Labour. It’s not a big change which is what is required.

I think it’s overwhelmingly failed. It’s just a job creation vehicle in the bay. Outcomes are shocking and it’s increased Nationalism. Intentions were good but it’s been a disaster for Wales. Id not shed one tear if it were to go. But that ship has probably sailed.

A quarter of this Country are thick as shit.

Bethall was fantastic but I don’t like the ott reaction. He’s a good prospect but he needs to get games under his belt and learn his craft.

I’m with you sorry for the misunderstanding. That does make some sense. I think Plaid will be a better option than Labour in the sense you’d like to think they’ll be more Wales as a whole than the poverty stricken bits of the valleys and Cardiff. With everyone else just putting up with shit...

I hear you I think it’s because some odd people enjoy it and enjoy the “buzz” of it all. I always try as best as possible to avoid trolleys to make sure I only come back with what is required. Two reasons, no impulse purchasing and in and out as quick as possible.

Let’s just say our funding is “unfair” that is in the context of the Barnett formula. If we were independent all of the revenue for spending would need to be generated ourselves. No more city of London. We would be in a huge deficit. I can’t believe people believe we’d magically be okay. If...

I’ve tried not to comment on the independence stuff as it’s likely to derail the thread. All I’ll say is that goes against precisely the issues we’re discussing. Further retrenchment to borders, further splintering. Imagine Cardiff bay standing up to trump - I mean give your head a wobble...

It’s almost like post war Germany when they rightly had a period of de-nazification as the population was so brainwashed at the time. It’s like we need a truth and reconciliation period to remove the poison. Again this would be much easier in a different time but we now have the musks of the...

Agreed. They were warned, they’ve had overwhelming evidence ever since. But no who’s the guy for them Farage?!! The guy who smashed it up. But as you say it’s a global phenomenon, with people in the shadows pulling the strings and the idiots walking off the cliff like lemmings. I don’t see how...
