Trump and Vance
at 23:42 28 Feb 2025

No one is winning. Ukraine is losing potato fields and Russian is losing Oil refinery capabilities military equipment and 1000s of men every day. Export loses are massive.

Ukraine will fight and $300 billion of Russian money is in a vault in Belgium ready to be spent. It shows what an idiot Putin is . That he did not move it.

No one is allowed to criticise Putin. You, Sachs, McGregor, Ritter, Galloway and now Vance and Trump.

at 22:13 28 Feb 2025

WW2 was paid off in 2006. I remember reading about it.

Trump subjected Zelenski to a shake down and Zelenski said no deal.

There is no point in him signing a bad deal as they will take the minerals andnot provide support anyway. He rightly cannot trust Trump nor Vance who have not said one bad word about Putin. (no one can) Like Prof Sachs they are probably contracted not to do so.

USA has already profited massively from Ukrainian dead buy selling US LNG to Europe instead of cheaper Russian gas. USA blew up the pipeline. How do I know? Because Victoria Newland said on film that is exactly what they would do if Russian invaded.

Richard Montague confirms Swansea Independent report
at 22:04 28 Feb 2025

He is not going to sign a new deal. The longer it goes the less likely a deal becomes. He should have been moved on last summer by telling him he was done at Swansea. One or two players would sit it out but not many. Those that do sit out a season rarely make it back to the same level.

This was weak management.

Zelenski knows he is on his own with 30m of his people. They have been thrown under the bus like Gaza and like Gaza will go down fighting. There is no half way house it is now all in for them.

Europe must decide if they want to be involved. Trump volunteered European soldiers with our asking them. Starmer dutifully obliged.

Hopefully the new German leader will get the tanks rolling and get the Taurus missiles over the Kiyiv.

Trump is an appeaser. Neville Chamberlain mark 2. Forget about him and look after Europe. Europe is more than enough.

There is no where to hide unless you are the other side of the Ocean. The Russian tank is on OUR lawn.

Winston Churchill once said "America will only do the right thing when all other alternatives have failed".

It is not exact but big cities in China have poor air quality. By comparison UK and Europe has better air quality. Bejing Olympics has the embarrassment of poor air quality.

Fans see to have advice for foreign owners but none for their own ownership group.. In 2015-2016 buyers were offering £1m for 1% holding and they did not even have a mandate.

The board member told the membership and the world their shares would never be up for sale. I commented on another forum that this was unwise but no on else said anything because they were not shrewd enough or thinking strategically.

"Lack of understanding of British football". The fans had a lack of understanding of basic mathematics. A 10,000% return on their investment was ignored.

Goykeres was poor at 22 as well funnily enough. Cullen was not much use either. That was three years ago and only now is he showing real consistency.

There are no big number 9 s coming through as far as know. Crole prodigious at Cardiff plays now for Penybont. I have not seen Woodward. Bickerstaff at Wrexham will probably get cut. No one at Newport even better than CBR.

The last great Welsh centre forward (no Anglo) were Hartson, Iwan Roberts and Gareth Taylor. They come in threes.

I presume the talk of analysis of the increase assuming "cost were frozen" is talking about inflation.

Say a Challenger tank cost £1m in 2024 but cost £1.04m that is 4% more expensive and £40,000 in cash .

The new money announced has to cover this inflation as well as provide money for new tanks. Some of the money is inflation with no new military capabilities..

This is how I understand the point

You are assessing it from only your point of view. You have paid in your dues but what have you and your dependent taken out? Free schooling free health care do not come cheap.

Fit taxpayers accept to carry the burden for the sick and old as well as the incarcerated as part of the community. Many jobs are not wealth creating.

The retirement age has increased in line with life expectancy. It was 70 thirty years ago and is now around 83. This has been dripping for the first time in modern history.

They apparently have a lot of clout on social media which the MSM should report on.

The fact that they represent a particularly nasty exploitative philosophy and Trump has applied pressure for their freedom is yet another 'red flag" that we are indeed in dangerous times. The mentality of our alley is suspect and not shared by us.

Wales has a shocking colonial record. T E Lawrence and Stanley, Henry Morgan Bartholomew Roberts were from Wales. Welsh rugby has never apologised for playing rugby v Apartheid South Africa in recent times.

There is an abundance of Welsh surnames in the NFL testament of a major Welsh role in the slave trade. Derwen James is a safety for the Los Angeles Chargers team not a prop for the Ospreys.

You minimize the achievements and bad stuff on your ancestors. It's what you do.

Many of those struggling to heat their homes are home owners in houses that are very expensive. They are asset rich and cash poor. This is a choice in many cases. Many have even cleared their mortgages They want to be subsided to remain in the family home to maximise a very chunky inheritance for their children. Not all are like this of course but many are.

Poor families ars often the result of runaway fathers. At one time the state went after the father's to contribute to family funds. I gave lost track as to whether you the state still does this. I suspect not.

We can live cleanly or continue to be the "dirty man of Europe". The Scandinavians cared when we burned coal. Their forests were being ravaged by acid rain. We did the right thing and close our coal fired stations. In this matter at least we were good neighbours.

China and South east Asia will follow our lead because they want to be like us.

UK is living beyond its means with the national debt increasing every year. winters are very mild these days and most can turn down the heating to save money. There has barely been a frost in Neath.

People have been seduced by "cutting red tape" and "easing back on regulations". In real terms this includes shoving guano into the river to keep the price of KFCs down.
