• 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

Wales left out..

Think we will be seeing more of this after Drakeford going rogue over this Covid lark.

Wales already has the type of scheme.
 
This doesnt apply to Wales and Scotland as it is a devolved issue ad the chancellor has no authority to make decisions on this there.
 
In England you can get a grant of up to £5k, for triple glazing cavity wall and loft insulation.

I await the devolved Welsh government following suit
 
There will be things you can get in England and not Wales and vice versa. That is what devolution is. We had free prescriptions and travel when England didnt. We had the carrier bag tax before England did. Different governments throughout the UK will prioritise things differently. Under the new Welsh scheme 80% will not pay this tax. The average price of a property in London is £480,000 whereas in Wales it is £160,000 therefore England needs a higher figure.

Isn't the Senedd complaining that Westminster id attacking devolution by grabbing powers coming back from the EU? Though Wales never had them anyway but Westminster did so a power grab, not really.

Mind you, now we aren't getting the M4 releif road it's good to see they are probably going to start congestion charging on the M4. I mean, why do something to help businesses in Wales when you can raise taxes instead and put people off.
 
If you were living in Newport and affected I am sure you would be delighted to have the M4 built but then the people of Newport sholdnt count should they. Do what is best for business and to hell with the residents affected is not my motto.

Not just us living in Newport but the whole of South Wales would benefit from the relief road.
