Drakeford does no wrong in the taxman's eyes.
He can happily shield at home taking his pension, he doesn't care the rest of Wales have to earn a wage.
You can point our Drakefords massive mistakes but he ignores them and calls you a Tory.
He now seems to think that Drakeford knows more about handling the situation than sage and Professors Whitty and Vallance. |
That is because,in south Wales it's the worst insult.Miners Strike innit.
On a par with being called a paedo.
Actually ,probably worse as many paedos vote Labour too. |  |

I accept he has a differing view but because mine and others do not align we're called tory , right wing or what ever other moniker they choose to use. Maybe he's afraid of posters who have a broader outlook on life and politics in general. | |

Ive never understood why people are branded as they are.
I don't even see why somebody has to vote for just one party.
Might as well live in east Germany,Cuba,North Korea or fasicst Germany.
Other parties got rid of,as builthy suggests. | |

Same here , to be honest why dismiss the bad and only celebrate for example the fact that Wales introduced 5p on a plastic bag which in itself admirable but not a reason to ignore the failings of to many other life affecting decisions. | |

Its what strikes me most with the left it does happen in the right but its mostly the left. 'Vote for us or you're a tory istaphobe. Here's a new age idea if you try and shoehorn and coerce people into your way of thinking people tend to do the opposite, freethinking is funny like that.
Come out with policies, plans, frigging ANYTHING to persuade people that Labour are THE party to go for. I'd happily vote for them if they showed something to improve Wales but they're dead behind the eyes mun. |  |

Morning Vince.
I simply distrust ALL political parties.
By nature I am a socialist but also a hypocrite being a human being.
I see many "working class "Tories here. As for posh,it's a word banned from my house as it's simply an insult,like middle class and "ordinary people".Both Tories and Labour use this filth to keep people where they are;the wealthier and the poor,whoever they might be.
Conservative party was THE party for small businesses.It aint now.It was a party for law and order.Absolute horse poo was that mantra.
This country is still suffering from our rigid class system of by gone days that sadly has enslaved many in traditional Labour voting areas. | |

People are what they vote. If people choose to vote Labour then they are Labour. If they choose to vote for or support Tory policies then they are Tories. People cannot say one thing then do another as many on here do. At least OHG is honest and I respect him for that. There has been an anti Drakeford agenda amongst many of you and you have admitted to that yourself.
What isnt in doubt is that daily except for a very short period Drakeford has got more right than Johnson. The Welsh figures are lower every day than England. This is because of the way Drakeford and co have handled it. Even yesterday Wales had 60 new cases which is the equivalent to the UK having 1200. Yesterday the UK had over 4000 new cases over 3 times the Welsh rate. You dont look at that because it doesnt fit with your anti Drakeford agenda just like Scotia and others.
As far as things like pubs and gyms re opening the figures clearly show that up until pubs reopened in August cases were continuing to drop. Gyms opened a week later. Prior to that we had opened schools, non essential shops, tourist attractions, hairdressers etc and the figures dropped.
On 12 August 9 days after pubs opened so before any effect took place the figures were at their lowest with 8 cases in a day. 2 weeks later when the effect of opening pubs and subsequently gyms had taken effect it had raised 4 fold to 34 and escalated further. That isnt myth. It is a fact.
As far as gyms are concerned my son used to go to a cross fit gym in Cornwall in one of the lowest areas for covid in the country. He had a facebook message showing 3 of his old gym colleagues had covid. This is just 1 example from one of the lowest covid areas.
The people who are calling for gyms and pubs to be opened here are the same people who called for it last year which ultimately led to us going into lockdown. | | | |

Drakeford's biggest problem is that he doesn't understand that people need hope. All these declarations of "No Back to Normal" and "Things that will still exist despite vaccines" are doing is encouraging people to think, "F*ck it, might as well".
Even if the roadmap elsewhere allows for later loosening, it's with a view to lifing all restrictions as soon as possible. In Wales you get the impression that restrictions are lifted grudgingly, that they'd really rather not as they'll only have to impose them again later. |
Would you prefer Drakeford to be dishonest and say everything will be fine, when nobody know what will happen. It's far better to be cautious. Would you like your doctor to say things will be fine when doc knows they won't? The virus doesn't recognise hope or human rights. | | | |

Morning Big Man,
Agreed you only have to look at uncle Bozzer and co to see the underhand activities they're involved in. Just an observation but the working class Tories are being bolstered in numbers as they seem like the only party that want people to work, a party for the working people... the irony. Labour the party of the workers seemingly want everyone in rolling lockdowns and keep the workers off work.
the class war is still raging on old battlegrounds that for many do not exist anymore hence why for many politics is unrelatable. Only a few activists on Tw@tter and FB still push that narrative while the rest of us just want a better life. | |

I'd prefer him to follow the science. SAGE have agreed the roadmap in England, and this has been publicly acknowledged by Whitty and Vallance. Calls to move more quickly have been rightfully ignored.
We are in a better state than England regarding the virus, but are moving 4-6 weeks more slowly in some cases and absurdly quickly in others.
All the Welsh approach is doing is harming peoples wellbeing and keeping many very low waged employees on furlough.
I know it's a pipe dream but i hope we have a new first minster on May 7th, who would have the bottle to ditch this current "plan" whatever that may be. | | | |

You have admitted that Wales is in a better shape then England so I don't really know how you can criticise Drakeford. His first responsibility is to keep people as safe as possible and then worry about the economy. Economies will recover, families won't. | | | |

Depends on how dumb people are. Signs aren’t good .Recently ,we had a warm couple of days which saw puss ups And gatherings then litter dumped everywhere .

It's not some sort of morbid Wales v England competition.
The sole reason we are in a better position now is because the Kent variant was not dominant before we were in lockdown, Drakeford lucked out there as we had already reached the point of having the highest level of infection in the world with the original variant.
Some people won't recover from poverty, and keeping business closed is keeping some of the poorest people in poverty.
What do you think bar staff, restaurant and gym staff earn? Almost certainly minimum wage, they are now earning 20% less than that for no scientific reason. They are earning that just for Drakeford to appear different. | | | |

You've criticised Johnson for not following the experts but when he does and Drakeford doesn't, Drakeford is correct.

Here is what he has said today. There has been decisions made which he hasnt agreed with. Like all civil servants he has to put forward government policy not his own belief.
England’s Chief Medical Officer suggested there have been rifts at the heart of Government over decisions during the pandemic.
The advisor who has stood next to Prime Minister Boris Johnson at numerous historic Downing Street briefings did not say which decisions he may have disagreed with.
But he has suggested that Cabinet has made decisions which should have been led by the science - rather than the politics of the pandemic.
He made the comments in a an online question and answer session with the Royal Society for Medicine. | | | |

Prof Whitty reportedly clashed with the Prime Minister in February over the easing of lockdown.
Mr Johnson's hopes to reopen schools quickly were met with resistance from Prof Whitty, according to The Guardian's sources.
He was said to be “very unhappy” with the idea of all 10 million children and staff returning to schools in England on March 8, although the Government denied this and insisted that Prof Whitty was not opposed to any of the options being discussed. | | | |

Whitty also said they will treat covid as if it's the seasonal flu in future. I was hoping that was an April fools joke in very bad taste, but I actually think he is serious. | | | |

He is right it will be similar to flu. The deaths in under 50s are largely similar to those having flu. Having an annual vaccination like the flu vaccine will cut down cases and deaths. It has been the lack of having a vaccine ready that has caused so many. The Welsh death rate shows
over 90 16.6%
80-89 38.6%
70-79 26.7%
60-69 11.6%
50-59 3.5%
As can be seen if you can vaccinate over 50s there will be very few deaths slightly more than Flu. | | | |
