Bear in mind ,Polis are still investigating the missing £600k (could only be authorised By Krankie and her husband, not forgettinge there are numerous law suits pending over COVID deaths in care homes and that this might be the real reason together with the GRA fiasco, rather than the no doubt, "can only shoulder the burden for so long" lines that will be trotted out at the press conference. This, and a lot more beside I suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, there’s some people in Europe probably saying the same about us and Brexit 😆 That’s a solid bet. The left, the brain dead woke and the luvvies lapped that ‘line’ up when that idiot in New Zealand jumped off her particular sinking ship. Thankfully, there's not a cat In hells chance that Wales will ever see independence, certainly in my lifetime anyway and I'm hoping for a good 50 years remaining yet. There is a tiny amount of people making an awful lot of noise (where have we seen that before?) for Welsh independence but I'd bet next years wages that a referendum would see less than 20% vote for Welsh independence. We simply aren't mature enough, wealthy enough or smart enough as a country to work independently. The country would die in flames within a year with Welsh government spending the entire time arguing over having male, female or other signs on toilet doors or giving dogs and cats the right to self assign gender such is the futile and childish nature of politics in Wales. There is also no way that Welsh government could let the old anti English chip on their shoulder go. It's the whole basis of their existence.

Blackpowder Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Good news wee Krankie is going to resign let us hope the Scottish Parliament can now get down to the job of looking after the Scottish people rather than banging on about Indy 2 and taking orders from two MSPs from a very minority party.

johnphilip Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Does not matter who is chosen one is as bad as the other , time they where out . Only 1/3 third of Scotland voted for them and take the greens with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Analysis of the speech, there is significant division within the party on a number of issues (GRA, indy, women's rights, etc) and her clique is now in the minority and she is getting out before being given the chop. Analysis of the non BBC questions on her 'failures' such as education gap, NHS, etc and police investigation of the missing £600k.... Good, analysis of her answers..... Fluff and radio silence. As per the selection of the last 2 Westminster PM's, where SNP and NS were demanding UK elections, time to make the same demands of the SNP and confirm how big a hypocrites they truly are.

They are here and remain the silent majority. Most of those in Wales who do the work and do the earning quite quickly realise that any form of independence would quite quickly see any earnings over £50k being taxed at 75% or more. Independence is being used as a tool to gain votes from those who have nothing and therefore stand to lose nothing when it all goes to ****. **** the English will remain the governments unofficial motto for as long as they can.

They don't need independence for that - check the C on your tax code.... The Welsh lot remind me of a prostitute that doesn't like paying punters.....

The Welsh lot remind me of a prostitute that doesn't like paying punters..... Exactly, they hold the tools they need to impose a super tax but just need the excuse to use them. Not even Welsh labour can justify the raising of taxes above the national rate at this time but being independent and no longer able to suckle on the tits of Westminster is all the excuse they need. A good example of your second sentence is the years of heavy promotion of tourism in Wales while simultaneously vilifying anyone who happens to own a holiday home or AirBnB here and stifling investment into infrastructure needed to bring people here under the disguise of Net Zero.

It hasnt bothered her so far , I think she likes being portrayed as the villain. But the fact is, she is, she was a dictator, elected by her cabal, who , with no other title besides 'first minister' is now about to exit the political stage, probably forever.
