I work with a fair amount of local politicians. Jeremy Miles is one of the few who actually seems to take personal responsibility for issues in his constituency rather than delegating work to his constituency staff and just adding a signature to a letter.
Nia Griffith is similar. Mike Hedges is a decent constituency representative too.
The less said about Lee Waters the better. |

And voted for by the trade union members.
Most of those are based in SE Wales and they voted for the representative from SE Wales.
Jeremy Miles is a good politician and a decent guy, he'd have been by far the beter first minister. |

A vaccine primes the immune system for a future infection, it's the immune system that has gone wrong it could well have happened to the lady further down the line after a common cold or being infected with Covid
Similar to Myocarditis - it's far more common after infection than vaccination. |

The 20 mph speed limit will be forgotten about in 3 years time at the next Senedd election.
Given the recent disasters we've seen in Wales such as COVID, road building etc Drakeford increased his vote at the last election. I find that baffling.
We could have given the labour administration a bloody nose at the PCC elections 2 weeks ago and we didn't. The turnout was less than 15%.
We deserve what we get really. |

60% of people couldn't be bothered to vote. He's clearly not hated by about 75% of Londoners in that case.
The Mail, Telegraph and GB news tell you he's hated becasue they hate him. For one reason. |

Cat - Evri take the prize for crapness for me.
I've tried returning a parcel for a refund to sports company in Belgium, parcel sent on March 19th but it hasn't arrived at the destination. I've had an email this morning saying it's been returned to me and I should receive it in 8 weeks. As a "good will gesture" Evri have refunded the £8.95 postage fee I paid. For a parcel they never delivered.
I'll comfortably miss the 30 day deadline for my £150 refund. As the parcel hasn't been lost Evri reckon they aren't liable. |

I believe sexuality is innate or almost certainly so. I don't know enough about gender dysphoria to comment really, although I believe it's a genuine condition but very open to abuse.
Although as people become more aware of gender dysphoria, incidence is bound to increase. |

Do you realise how daft it is for someone who has never been to pride, telling someone who has been to pride what happens there via a third party? Especially when that third party is a deliberately provocative, cutting edge publication?
I've never seen anything like that at any pride event. It may happen, but that's because it's a a festival not because it's pride, my daughter wouldn't see anything of that nature. Because it doesn't happen if families are around.
Exactly the same quotes could be used about Glastonbury, should children be taken there? |

It's only achieving cultural change if it works, and there's no evidence it does or even has the potential to.
These "ideas" have existed throughout history. They're just been suppressed by those feeling them because being open about them could get you punished, even today in 2024 with the death penalty in some countries.
The only cultural change is recognising they exist and are normal just different to the majority. |

I think that's the entire point. GB news makes up a load of nonsense to rabble rouse. There are no 4 year old LGBT champions and it's not "pushed" in schools, similarly pride events aren't full of perverts.
The Telegraph isn't a million miles behind.
Nobody is trying to push anything on anyone, rather just enable kids to understand their feelings if and when they need to, and most importantly not to be bullied and abused because of them. That's good.
I have a colleague with a transgender son who is now about 14. The abuse the family (including the child, directly from adults) have received in their mid Wales town is incredible. All from people who don't understand the issue, how massively difficult it is and it's obviously nothing to actually do with them.
Go to pride, get to know LGBTQ people or even just watch "it's a sin" don't just read extreme examples fabricated and exaggerated by bigots. It's not an easy life, don't make it more difficult. |

I'm willing to bet that's exactly the situation these kind of schemes are designed to address.
It's why they're needed.
Unfortunately though, some people would probably rather see the child in care than have two loving Dad's. |
