Not only are we the taxpayer bailing out an airport we now have to bail out the railways , as far as I'm concerned the South Wales Metro scheme benefits no one west or north of Maesteg , its intention is to ferry workers /shoppers to and from cardiff , no benefits to the rest of Wales ( our very own HS2) so why should we bail it it out.
The we have this from the arrogant fool

It's clear that public transport only really offers a viable alternative to private transport in large, densely populated urban areas.
Maybe they can get away with restricting car use in London, Greater Manchester or the Midlands Conurbation. Everywhere else you're just going to cause utterly unnecessary inconvenience and expense to people who have no other option if they want to live full lives.
I've been on both sides of the equation. I didn't bother learning to drive until I was 40. I worked either walking distance away (as I do now) or a short bus ride. I didn't think that I really needed a car. It's only after I had one that I realised how much of my life I had pissed away waiting for buses that never showed up, or opportunities I had missed because I simply couldn't get to places via public transport.
I don't want future generations to be denied the opportunities I had by a lunatic Government doing their level best to force people onto non-existent buses and trains by lying about "safety", or pretending that it's an environmental issue when the volume of electric/hybrid vehicles is growing fast. |  |

Hate to keep agreeing with you but this is again spot on.
One doesn’t need a car in London .
Having one in a remote valley or island is essential ,literally .
A car is essential for most families for anything likes normal life.
Ok it’s a fact I’ve had my own transport since 16 when I first passed my bike test then car test a year later .
Relying on public transport is last resort land for me anyway . [Post edited 23 Nov 2023 10:55]

An interesting read .
"SOMETHING strange and secretive is happening in the heart of Wales. In 2017, Public Health Wales published its International Health Strategy 2017-2027. This publication referred to the World Economic Forum’s ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ and United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development in the context of its rationale for an ‘international’ strategy.
March 2018 saw the World Health Organisation designate a WHO ‘Collaborating Centre on Investment for Health and Well-being’ at Public Health Wales. Thus, Wales became the UK country seemingly with the closest links to this unelected organisation. The IHCC (International Health Co-ordination Centre) in Wales states openly that its work aims to support the WHO in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Apart from a press release by IHCC, this event appears not to have been reported on by BBC Wales or traditional media outlets. Surely this unique partnership would be newsworthy, especially to the people of Wales? Particularly since its aims were to improve health and well-being, reduce inequalities and improve prosperity for all.
One would be forgiven for thinking that Public Health Wales and the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 – mentioned in the press release – would both be focused upon matters specifically relating to health in Wales. Closer examination, however, shows that this Act is Wales’s equivalent to Agenda 2030 and encompasses six other goals in addition to a ‘healthier Wales’. These goals are:-
. A prosperous Wales
. A globally responsible Wales
. A resilient Wales
. A more equal Wales
. A Wales of cohesive communities
. Having a vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language
Essentially this means that all public bodies must ensure that future decisions must be made only if all seven goals are met.
The chairman of CBI Wales in 2017 described the Act as a ‘dog’s dinner’ and expressed concerns that the environment could be prioritised over jobs.
In 2018 the Welsh Government published their plan for health and social care which stated that more services in the future would be provided outside hospitals, closer to home or at home, and that people will go into hospital only for treatment that cannot be provided safely anywhere else. This was to take the pressure off hospitals, reduce the time people have to wait to be treated and the time they spend in hospital when they have to go there.
It is therefore evident that moves to meet the UN Agenda 2030 goals were under way in Wales several years prior to Covid-19. How very convenient, perhaps, that a pandemic should occur, enabling many objectives already in sight to be put into place within Wales’s so-called ‘necessary’ pandemic response. Note, here, that the WHO definition of ‘pandemic’ changed in 2009 to focus upon cases rather than deaths.
The Welsh WHO Collaborating Centre on Investment for Health and Well-being published a report in February of this year regarding Wales’s public health response to Covid-19.
It states that the education sector ‘could be transformed completely by re-envisioning the learning space’ and says there is an opportunity to develop ‘agile response educational systems’ such as ‘schools (formal teaching) disappear altogether due to rapid advancements in AI, virtual reality and the Internet of Things’.
Public Health Wales now has a ‘Health and Sustainability Hub’ which supports it in applying the sustainable development principle in its organisational functions. It has been very busy working with the Carbon Trust to produce a report dated Spring 2021 entitled ‘Green Opportunities’.
An interesting fact contained within it is that the NHS is apparently the ‘largest public sector emitter of carbon emissions in the UK’and that Wales has an ambition for a carbon neutral public sector by 2030. Indeed, the Carbon Trust has also partnered with NHS Wales to produce a report in March 2021 entitled ‘NHS Decarbonisation Strategic Delivery Plan 2021-2030’.
It would appear that ‘decarbonisation’ is more of a priority than encouraging the people of Wales to focus upon taking more control of their health and relying upon the NHS less.
The Decarbonisation Plan mentions a ‘smart’ approach such as digital monitoring of patients and remote consultations, tying in with the 2017 International Health Strategy.
There will also be a feasibility study by next year to aim for 30 per cent of NHS staff to work remotely.
It does seem curious that, having declared a Climate Emergency in 2019, Welsh Government departments should need to use Covid-19 as an excuse for implementing targets which were already planned. An emergency is an emergency, after all.
It is as if governments have to justify their pandemic responses by adding the ‘climate emergency’ into the mix.
The Welsh Government Engagement Approach for Low Carbon Delivery Plan 2 mentions that, amongst other ‘stakeholders’ (a word popularised by the World Economic Forum), Welsh Government have worked with Extinction Rebellion. It also implicitly suggests that activities prohibited during lockdown, such as exercising indoors in gyms and pools and buying new clothes (rather than upcycling them) are not environmentally friendly.
Welsh Government is also encouraging people to share their tips for change during lockdown on social media by using the rather puerile hashtag #lowcarbonheroes.
Perhaps First Minister Mark Drakeford had more in mind than controlling a virus when imposing lengthy lockdowns and being selective about the types of venues and businesses that were targeted. Many of these are SMEs – small and medium sized enterprises – that have been estimated in European studies to cause 64 per cent of environmental impact.
Given that there are huge implications for the world’s natural resources, such as that meeting UK electric car targets for 2050 would require nearly twice the current world annual cobalt production, governments worldwide are going to need many more crises to exploit in order to control our behaviour.

Which will probably send more traffic the long way around, thus increasing emissions.

I guess it depends on how much the charge is and whether is financially clever to go the long way around, given the price of fuel. | | | |

Pollution my hairy arse, we're the only country that seems to give a fig about it, its just a massive con to swindle yet more money out of the down trodden tax payer.
Public Transport is a f..g joke to three of us travelled to London last Friday morning my Lad stood all the way there, train was rammed, a scheduled 10 carriage service was cut down to 5 carriages, whoever made that decision should be sacked and horse whipped daily, shocking service. |  |

A net zero policy relying on people to fork out 10s of thousands of pounds will not work, ordinary people don't have the money.
And now Labour have realised that we can not afford it as a country either.

Yeah, I'm fine R just getting completely peed off for the way the general public are treated and the excessive costs they have to incur, due to the negligence, corruption and lies created by this substandard government and there seems like there'll be little change with the next government either.
I remember my Dear old Grandfather telling me at one time that he'd rather be the age he was at the time than 21, I can see what he means now, I despair at the path this Country is travelling on. | |
