Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

My experiences of the Welsh NHS have been entirely positive.

It needs more investment, of course, but that depends on the UKs Brexidiot government passing more money through to all 4 NHS organisations.

Maybe they need to think the unthinkable …. and cancel pet Tory projects like the new Royal Yacht that even the queen does not want. Cancel Trident. Cancel HS2. Rejoin EU. Stop illegal wars. Claim money back on unusable PPE. Investigate Track and Trace England. Plenty of money then.

You cant blame the Welsh NHS for uk govt spaffing money on vanity projects.
Politics is about choices.


You obviously do not know that NHS Wales is the publicly funded National Health Service of Wales ( not of England, Scotland or N Ireland )
The National Health Service is mainly paid for from general taxation with a small proportion raised through national insurance contributions.

NHS Wales receives its allocation as part of the process of negotiation between Westminister and the Welsh Government. The sum available for health and health services in Wales forms part of what is called the ‘block grant’ which is the total amount of money for all the areas for which the Welsh Assembly Government has responsibility since devolution.
The Senedd cannot actively encourage the migration of the rest of the UK aging population into Wales which has the highest proportion of older people in the United Kingdom, ranking highest with the amount of over-65s and over-85s, according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Mr Drakeford previously said the Covid-19 pandemic would have a greater impact on the country because of its "typically older, sicker and poorer" population.then moan when a large proportion of its budget is then spent on looking after them .
I'm not sure why rejoining the EU and with it a substantial proportion of our GDP being given to Brussels , history shows we've contributed far more than we ever had back just for the pleasure of propping up failing economies .

Um - yes, the Welsh NHS still needs more money to provide higher levels of service.

If Wales has more older people then that need should be recognised and funded.
Otherwise whats the point in being part of the uk union…?

Wales got more money from the nice European people than other parts of uk.
Thats because the uk made us a poor area that needed and qualified for help.



Welsh people who voted for Brexit have been conned. Simple as that.

It’s absolutely frightening the prospect of wales leaving the U.K. and somehow joining the eu.
Not that I think it’ll ever happen


It could happen IMO in a generation or two, but it would need a couple of massive changes:

1. The Senedd needs to be far, far more effective. While things like Health and Education lag behind England, it’s hard to make a case for breaking away.
2. The tone of the campaign needs to be right - positive about Wales and not just negative about England. This is something the Brexit campaign got right.

The Brexit campaign was about lies and the denonising of the EU.

I think 2 events need to happen to get Wales over 50%.
~Scotland to vote Indy.
- people in the north of Ireland to vote for a united Ireland in a border poll.

After that, why would woles vote to stay aa walesshire…?

Its all done and dusted in next 10 years.

Well yes it could happen, in regards to Wales leaving the U.K., but somehow can’t see them leaving the U.K. and joining the eu and all living happily ever after.

There is every chance the eu will collapse within the next 20 years.
Even countries like Spain could splinter, and even the USA.
There is a growing amount of people who believe in accelerationism, especially in America, with one branch of the accelerationism theory being western civilisation will eventually collapse and that collapse is inevitable, and therefore that collapse should be accelerated.

Drakeford has decreed their will be no foreign holidays for people living in Wales. He hax confirmed today that you should only travel abroad for essential reasons.

Genius. Spend tens of millions buying and subsidising a useless airport and then do his best to stop people using it.

Another misrepresentation from you.

Can you show us where Drakers has “decreed” there will be no foreign holidays abroad for people living in Wales? The WG have adopted the same stance as the UK Government on foreign travel however their ADVICE is “we continue to advise against all but essential travel abroad.”
Advice and a decree are significantly different.

For what it’s worth, I think advising against all but essential travel is a sensible approach. Scientists identified a significant number of last autumns spike has been traced back to foreign holidays, in addition the Brazilian, South African and Indian variants all arrived here via international travel as did the original virus.

Maybe if Boris had been a bit more on the ball some of those variants wouldn’t be circulating in our communities.

It’s not going to be because we have the same rules as the U.K. government, Drakers hasn’t decreed anything about not having foreign holidays. See my previous post.

Not just schools, also places like supermarkets. Not sure I agree with it tbh, but if it encourages people to vote and it’s applied fairly and consistently around the country in all areas and increases participation in the democratic process it may be worth piloting. The big issue has to be maintaining the integrity of the process.

I suppose he had to look at other places besides schools. He had to be seen to be trying to encourage all age groups to vote or be accused of bias because we know younger people are far more likely to vote Labour.

How secure voting in a supermarket can be I don't know. Schools usually have somewhere suitable they can set up secure polling booths.

Getting more people to take interest in politics and to vote has to be a good idea. We have rubbish politicians because not enough of us hold them to account.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

So you think the whole world should just shut down and ban any travel between countries so new variants cannot spread. Hardly possible as we import half our food and over half of other goods you but in shops.

We are going to have to get used to living with the virus and getting the economy back to near normality otherwise we will not be able to continue to fund health and social care among other things.

The sooner the 10% of the unvaccinated realise this the better.

Where have I said I think the whole world should just shut down and ban travel between countries. What I’ve said is that I think cautioning against all but essential travel is a sensible approach - our vaccination programme is well ahead of most countries and as they catch up we should be extending the destinations accordingly. Scientists identified the links last year and the impact of the Indian variant which is causing problems for a much younger element of society could have been reduced if Boris had prevent travel between the 2 countries earlier.

I agree with you re vaccination.
