• 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

All the multi millionaire "celebrities" on the TV telling hard up folk to part with their cash to help. How much are they giving? Not much I'd wager, maybe they've waived their fee?
 
We do this every year, and it's the same answer, it's a con, to many feeding from the trough, not enough going to where it should. Wont be watching it. Having said that, I hope any monies raised helps those who need it in some way. Another get out clause for the govt not to put their hands in their pockets.
 
Charities like this picking up the tab for often quite rudimentary and essential services like mental health support for bereaved children that should be paid for by universal taxation. Philanthropy and individual voluntary contribution should obviously be admired and encouraged for its fundamental altruism, but I get very angry when things like the vital Air Ambulances have to rely on charitable donations.

Top post. State should be providing for basic needs in UK . If it’s about Ukraine tonight then fair enough.
