In my humble opinion Gwyn if in the expenses scandal….2012? which involved an awful lot of our politicians who made “errors” in claiming expenses were actually jailed for fraud then I think that would have kept quite a few snouts out of the trough that is endemic to this day…..allegedly.
Some of the best….Beach House Oxwich Bay. Stupidly expensive but the food was something else. As there’s a Florida theme mentioned by some got to say Narcoossee’s in Grand Floridian Lake Buenavista was something else. Locally The George’s and Aubrey Arms Ystradgynlais are superb. Couldn’t walk coming out of there! We’ve been fortunate in not coming across many bad restaurants where the food was dubious….but a few where the service could have been better.
Very informative thanks. Yet every day more people come forward pointing a finger of guilt at him the latest being Fulham women’s football club. What a cesspit of a country we live in where the wealthy and powerful treat people in this way.
Why didn’t anyone come forward when he was alive? The British establishment hated this guy with a vengeance and would have itched to get him to court. Wasn’t Starmer head of CPS at the time?
Watched Apocalypse Now….the long version the other night. Well worth a watch. At the other end of the spectrum is Watchmen the editors cut. Another circa 3 hr film which to me is total escapism after a crap day 😂
So football is allowed to financially court a politician but under UEFA/FIFA rules a Govt isn’t allowed to interfere with football to insure integrity. Someone’s having a laugh here.
I am totally confused over the whole situation. Westminster and the Senedd have pointed out that Port Talbot steelworks was one of the highest polluters in the UK and in the drive for net zero something has to be done about it. So we shut down the local coal supply and imported coal from Australia. TATA then claimed they were losing £1 million a day in PT a day and something had to be done. TATA are a private business and under pressure from everywhere to become a greener company they’ve in effect thrown the towel in…get as much subsidy from the tax payer and maybe do us a favour in staying for a while longer. In the mean time Westminster Labour blame the last Govt for the poor deal left on the table by them and they tried their best but hey ho. Meanwhile the Senedd have ducked below the parapet as Drakeford and later Gething got their knickers in a twist over their Green image…but still want the steelworkers votes. What will the outcome be? Well we’ve seen the results when BP shut down Llandarcy and Baglan refineries. When Fords shut in Swansea and later in Bridgend. Politicians will expel a lot of hot air and nothing but nothing will be done to alleviate the suffering of the local communities. Rant over and apologies for boring you all.
To expensive to means test everyone. At least that was the reason behind universal child allowance. Govt reduced it to a max of two children instead. No…I believe free health care is for everyone. It was the founding principle of the NHS. Over the years we seem to have to pay more and more. Perhaps we are at the point where our taxes should be reduced to account for this.
Personally I believe the sick and elderly shouldn’t have to worry if they can afford a prescription. If Govt spent our money wisely then it shouldn’t be an issue.
Far from it. However it’ll be interesting to see the effects on illegal immigration now Germany has signalled it will be closing its borders to them. Also the chattering class still keep alive the hopes of rejoining a failing project. Perhaps if everyone’s energy was directed to making Brexit a success….and I include the judiciary in this…then things might be a little better for us.
