• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Government are onto a hiding with this whichever way it goes.

Don’t do it and you’ll have hoards of people, especially the patriot lot, screaming about national security and net zero.

If he does do it, they’re going to hammered in a years time for taking on a business that is losing £120m + which is being footed by the tax payer. It’ll mostly be the same lot that will hammer him if he doesn’t nationalise it mind.

Who’d be a prime minister eh

We need to be able to make our own steel in this current climate for our defensive needs if nothing else, we don't want to be relying on Chinese/Indian Steel.

So regardless of whether you agree with the decisions they’re making or not, we have a government making actual decisions and taking action. For the first time in about 10 years. The patriots don’t like it of course but it’s well established that they aren’t actually patriots at all. They actively cheerlead for foreigners against British interests. We live in strange times. When I was a lad it was “the left” who were always suspected of acting against Britain. Now it’s literally obvious that the Conservative and Unionist Party, their ideological bedfellows in Reform U.K. and all of their cheerleaders are dangers to national security.

Not quite made a decision yet, as it’s going to be debated in the HoC over the weekend (which in itself probably proves your point about getting things done, as it’s rare they sit on a weekend).

I’m not sure left and right holds any more though. Labour are far from the left and their roots. I’ve been very disappointed in how they’re courting Reform voters (but you can’t out-Reform Reform).

Yes they’re making decisions, but us the people seem to be not especially important to them.
 
I still don't really know what Starmer believes in. Jeremy Hunt seems like a sensible, liberal Tory and their views appear to be similar. I'm not complaining, just puzzled. But taxing private schools as businesses is a good start.
 
And yes, we do have to nationalise steel, but who has the worse hand here? The Govt because they have to buy it, or the Chinese because they have to sell it?
 
The only way to get Britain on the up is to restart manufacturing and coal mining to create jobs, revive communities and get the snowflakes into the world of work and off benefits. Plus stop this "working from home bollocks". Imagine if we turned up forca home match and there were no actual players on the pitch because they were "working from home".

My mate works for the Council and he "works from his caravan" FFS!

May I respectfully suggest the world has moved on and most of your suggestions are living in the past?
