• 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
    Owner, jackarmy.net

With the national debt heading for 3 trillion which works out at about 70,000 for every person in this country , what's another 1.5 billion matter , a country needs steel production for its own security and the biggest is port Talbot , Tata know this , they know port Talbot is too big to fail so they have a good chance of getting the government money

Yet again TATA Steel trying to hold the Government to ransom they've done it before and got away with it and they will again.

Yet another of the Witch Maggie Thatcher's legacy coming home to roost unfuckingbelievable.
 
Weird how they are asking for money after they made a profit for the first time in years.

Hopefully this will mean that they start paying contractor companies what they owe them, instead of ripping them off all the time.

I said something similar to my wife last night.
Every person I know currently working there tells me they’re flat out and can’t get the orders out quick enough.
 
Maybe call their bluff and threaten to nationalise it? Money better spent than on tax cuts. With Surgical Truss there we'll be needing to build planes soon to attack China 🙄
