Pensioners have lived through the great days and worked to end them by voting to end free trade with Europe.

Pension funds stocks and shares and housing have all flourished over ths last few decades.

People who have planned and invested in any of these things will have benefitted from government incentives such as tax benefits for housing and pensions. The Government encouraged people to do this. Some did and some did not. It is a free country. You get £1000 a month free of tax. Enough g for most. Many are claiming poverty struggling to heat £400k empty houses. UK love property.

Free school free university back then free health no TV Licence. It all adds up. Free bus pass.

If you have rented and not invested anything then you might find it tough. Others have done well and have to pay a little tax.

USA is not the only show in town. UK has a number of huge mining firms that would welcome UK government support and will give Ukraine a much better deal than Trump presumably.

Glencore , BHP, Anglo American Rio Tinto all have the cash and knowledge.

Europe and UK need to get in there and compete. They should be offering decent terms not the insulting terms Trump has offered.

Europe needs to turn that $300 billion frozen Russian assets into weapons before any peace talks. Russia is out of troops and our of the tanks.

The tide may have turned with RF losing small amounts of ground in Proprosk and near Suzdja. The mighty Russian army has had Ukrainians on their oil van cannot shift them which is pretty pathetic.

The Wales is subsidised argument is largely a book keeping issue with the profits of Welsh workers reflected in accounts of companies based in London.

I have just come back from Bosnia which is an independent federal country of the same size and population with event greater challenges than Wales has. Welsh people would be worse off probably after independence. English people voted for Brexit understanding they could be worse off but went ahead anyway and are worse off.

Everyone is wrong most of the time. Bob was probably a half decent coach as suggested by his long record of employment. He had no chance at Swansea.

Fans do not know best as is indicated by the ownership group they own.

Marsch did not make good signings at Leeds but that would be outside his remit at Swansea.

Form falling off a cliff is a relatively recent situation.

One problem is that there are a raft of young 22-24 prospects have been brought in and many are showing very little improvement or even regression. Cotterill the most and he is home grown and in loan.

Ronald Eom Kuharevych Vipotnik Tymon Key. Williams has not progressed these players.

Swansea needs a manager that improves players.

Weighorst was Laudrup's own successor pick.. He would presumably play an attacking pragmatic brand of football . Denmark is a SA mall nation and hits above its weight year after year due to talented players and c good coaches.

A lot of posters were completely wrong about Montague and Williams. Suggesting Williams had a free ride because they were mates was clearly a bogus analysis and fake. No surprise there.

I suggested that their relationship had no bearing and I'd f the results continued to be poor he still would get sacked especially after some unwise statements about the Chairman.

I started ted that in the forum the club would have to give the manager a " points target" which failing to achieve would have had consequences. In the end the target was not needed and Williams left with Montague' s approval.

He was voted for by the Ukrainian people who want to join the EU.

Some Russian speakers in the Donbass do not want to join the EU and got violent a encouraged by agitators. Many Donbass men are now dead or injured many towns have been reduced to dust. Scots wanted to stay in the EU and did not get violent.

Americans offered Zelensky a taxi. He said no. Trump wanted him to take it.

The Russians of the Donbass live in poverty and the men folk have been ravaged leaving widows. They were never very important. Many of their leaders have been bumped off either by Ukrainians or by the Russian mobs. The Russian nation has not been mobilised because they do not care much.

Trump is incompetent and is not able to organise a peace deal with his weak support staff. What will he do? Who knows? Europe can the ability to grab and ring fence $300 billion of Russian assets and need to get on with it and ignore Trump's words.

The Normans arrived in England in 1066 and rapidly colonised the Anglo Saxons. They are never projected as a "beaten people".

Wales finally accepted Norman (now English) rule in 1463 some 400 years later? What do you think they were doing all that time?. I do not like criticising individual posters but you seem pretty ignorant of history.

Lots of history in there I suggest. Remember during this period the hard nut Norman had trampled all over the middle east building castles in Turkiye and Lebenon and Cyprus among others. These were brutal times and the Welsh were no push overs.

Not like today when the poodles sing "we know what we are" and reject English hoodlums do anything wrong with their ethnic slurs.

It is not that simple. Wales cannot sell its water to anyone else either.

England would have huge difficulties replacing the current water supply including new dams and new pipelines. It would take decades. The designs for dams are ultra safety conscious.

People like to cast Cymru and a receiver of subsidies but I do not buy it because the odds are stacked against us. Welsh did themselves no favours by siding with Farage and co.

People underestimate Germany. The world has been keen to see them timid and liberal but Trump is leading the cause for a new mighty German "Wehrmacht".

They have pretty good record of building formidable and courageous forces. I woud fancy them against any Russian rag tag outfit remnants of 3 months of torrid meat wave losses.

People vote for who they trust in general and let them get on with it.

The general positions are pretty well understood. I cannot watch Question Time as you pretty much know what they will say because on where they sit.

On this forum everything the WAG does is bad because cap doffers want to be run from London not Cardiff.

It sounds as if the Greyhound world professionals have played fast and loose with animal welfare over the decades.

If they had been sympathetic to their animal partner, they would have had a future presumably.

Bravo the WAG.

They will not be going there to fight and their presence theoretically will be agreed a by Russia. If Russia attacks again after agreeing b not to this will probably after the appeasing President has gone ( 2029).

Hopefully EU will have tucked into the $300; billion frozen assets to pay the UK military and Bae Systems for some nice new kit.

We are living the Brexit nightmare and cannot sit back.
