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.

I have argued that spending on the Welsh language was an expensive gaffe but I didn't know they spent more on it than on the economy. What a shambles!

We need to spend on climate change but not at the expense of an already struggling NHS. We all know it was struggling before the pandemic too. Now a 2 year wait for a hip replacement has become more like 5, it's as if they are waiting for people to die before they have to treat them.
I bet Drakeford never has to wait very long for treatment! Nor Gething.


I wonder how much the Senedd spends on public information adverts, there seems to be loads of them, basically telling us the bloody obvious, and others of the most stupid things you can think of.

Good friend of mine has recently retired after working all his life for the NHS, he reckons that the Welsh NHS is an utter shambles, compared to England's, Scotland's and NI NHS, and has been for many years, if I want to wind him up, I just mention "Drakeford"

Sadly, nothing will change.

I have several friends in the NHS and the picture that gets painted is quite sad. It's a relentless uphill battle to keep treating people in the face of shortages of staff and resources and some utterly rubbish senior management that goes right up to the Minister for health. Drakeford and Gething caused a lot of damage, we can only hope Morgan does better but the way she talks, I won't hold my breath.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

Google Betsi Cadwaladr special measures, its an eye opener. They were in special measures for years and run directly by the Senedd, they only came out of it during covid to assist in pandemic care.

I know about Betsi Cadwaladr. The Senedd running it was a joke, the people they appoint to run our health boards are often a joke.

For a while SBUHB seemed more interested in pushing the LGBT+ agenda than treating patients.
When I'm in hospital I don't care who treats me, I don't care if they are gay or straight, trans or non binary, I just care that they are good at their jobs.

Lots of specialist operations and treatments are only available in England, but if you live in Wales where there are no such facilities, you have to apply to the Welsh NHS authority for funding to be treated in England, sadly, by the time it takes to come through, it's either to late or you are dead.

Sure I read somewhere once about patients in North Wales requiring special treatment having to travel to Cardiff for it instead of simply going to Manchester, Birmingham or Liverpool because they weren't allowed.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Cardiff Council perhaps inadvertently put out a very telling statistic this week, when the council boasted that the vast majority of jobs in Wales had been created within the city’s borders.

“Almost four out of every five jobs in Wales being created in Cardiff between 2015 and 2020,” the council said in a tweet.

That the tweet was put out at all suggests the Council may be rather oblivious to the growing feeling elsewhere in Wales that economic and political opportunities are becoming overcentralised in one corner of the south-east of the country.

Only about 13% of Wales’ population live in Cardiff yet the council doesn’t see any problem with claiming that 80% of the jobs in Wales were created there.

This isn’t of course Cardiff Council’s fault as an entity. But the same political party dominates Cardiff as dominates the rest of Wales, all our major political institutions are based there, the bulk of our media and think tanks reside there, and for over half of devolution’s lifetime we have been represented by First Ministers who represents Cardiff constituencies.

Furthermore, in the pre-pandemic world if any of us had anything to contribute on matters of national import we were generally expected to haul ourselves down to Cardiff to say it, and as life unthaws and we enter a post-emergency age the same is likely to be true again.

Despite, like London, having a lot of contrast in wealth and opportunity within itself, visiting Cardiff from another part of Wales today feels a little bit like visiting an alternative world, in which entire communities elsewhere could probably fit inside some of the monumental glass and chrome shopping centres.


A second London

In 2018, Professor Calvin Jones of Cardiff Business School warned that Wales was in danger of creating “the United Kingdom in miniature”.

“So we’ve swapped a big city in the south east of England for a big city in the south east of Wales,” he added.

But I don’t think the comparison with London is entirely fair. This is because London, for all its faults, is actually quite easy to get to from most places in the United Kingdom.

This contrasts with Cardiff, which remains very poorly connected with large parts of Wales.

Some improvements are now being made to rail transport in particular across Wales, such as the south-east Wales metro.

But Professor Mark Barry of Cardiff University argues that calling for a Carmarthen-Aberystwyth railway — which could form the first leg of a railway up to the north- is to ignore the “demographic reality” that most of the population resides within 20 square miles of the south-east.

There is certainly merit in this train of thought but I think it hits the buffers when one realises that it’s the same one that sees Wales ignored altogether for transport funding from the UK Government.

It’s the thinking that has led the UK to become so economically unequal in the first place as it makes it possible to continue to justify feeding what Boris Johnson in his Mayor of London days (before his pivot to levelling up) “the goose that lays the golden eggs” of the UK capital.

It’s also a Catch-22 argument for the rest of Wales because large cities with better connectivity will attract more people and then in turn require even more capital spend to maintain their growth — and so on.

Support

But beyond economic fairness, I think it also ignores the political ramifications of centralising too much opportunity in one corner of a nation. The political class in Cardiff need to remember that the reason they have power in the first place is that people all over Wales felt they were being ignored in London’s corridors of power.

The vote for devolution was narrowly delivered in 1997 by some of the exact places that now, two decades later, still struggle to get to and have any political influence in Cardiff.

Devosceptics have not been as slow to notice this as those in power have. At this week’s debate on Wales in the House of Commons one Conservative MP after another lined up to say that, in the words of Clwyd South’s Simon Baynes, “north Wales feel left behind and uncared for by the Welsh Government”.

This is divide and conquer stuff but the Welsh Government have handed them a crack to get their crowbar into.

The vote for devolution was a vote to bring power — economic, political and cultural — closer to home so that it could be used to improve all our lives.

It wasn’t a vote to create a new London within our borders that for many in Wales is harder to get to than the previous incarnation.

If we want to maintain support for devolution across Wales, that means that whatever the demographic reality it has to be seen by people in all parts of Wales to work for all of Wales.

And it definitely — at a minimum — means realising how bad tweets such as Cardiff Council’s look to an audience outside the capital’s boundaries

I have said many times that the Senedd is doing to Wales what Westminster has done in England, making the SE corner rich while the rest stagnates.

I thn her the same nonsense from devo supporters about Westminster being bad for Wales, they don't care, blah, blah, blah. They are too blinded by hate for Westmisnter and/or the English to see the truth, the Senedd is ruining mot of Wales.

I know something for a 100% fact, if we had a win on the lottery, several million, we'd be off to a Greek island quicker than you could say devomax. Not because I or we hate Wales but because we are fed up of the carnage being inflicted on the majority of us by Welsh politicians who we are told really care about Wales. They care about their status, pay packets and their perks and that's about it. Not forgetting as soon as they can get it through, they will increase the size of the Snedd at a big cost to the Welsh budget.

They are scam artists, just like Bojo just wearing a different coloured rosette.

There's an elderly couple a few doors up, the wife needed an eye operation, cataracts. She was told the waiting list was 2 years. They sent her to Bristol and she only waited 10 weeks.

The Senedd is spending OUR money on it's own pet projects regardless of our needs. We don't need 20 more MS's, we don't need more money spent forcing people to learn Welsh when they may not want to (it should be personal choice in a modern world) we need money spent on the NHS, we need the infrastructure improved throughout Wales so we can all hopefully have a better future.

The Senedd is only really interested in Cardiff though. They throw crumbs at the rest of us.

Mrs TJ needs a cataract Op, she has been waiting over 2 yrs and the best estimate we could get was it should get done in the next 5yrs. Her eye has deteriorated so much over the last 6mths, she can't read anything and that kind of gets in the way of her work. So contacted Sancta Maria, a few weeks ago and she has her op next week. It's the same surgeon !!!! So basically by paying 3k she has jumped the queue and pushed other people down further. She feels a lot of guilt over this, but the alternative is give up work and sit on her arse waiting for a date that could be anytime in the next 5 yrs.The system is badly flawed and desperately needs overhauling.

It's shocking, really it is. We are told what waiting lists are but all too often they are lying. They told me 12 months for my hip replacement but when I went on the list it was already up to 2 years apparently and I waited 5 in all which caused other health problems.

Do Drakeford, Gething and now Morgan understand that the waiting for surgery has massive knock on effects on peoples health?

Maybe they think that having people on health related benefits is better than unemployment benefits because they are also mismanaging the economy!

My mum recently had hers both eyes done , under the NHS but at Sancta Maria, grateful as we are but Covid put an end to previous waiting lists . We pushed for my mum to get seen and fair play it took her 18 months to get sorted .

...I' trust you'll all be voting Tory next time will you?
Or does Labour just need a few more decades to implement the masterplan?


Don't you dare suggest Plaid is a viable option, same policies except they hope to cut off the cash from Westminster.


But we get free prescriptions mun !!!


I supported an independent Wales at one time loved the thought of the Senedd, but as soon as they plonked it into Cardiff instead of Mid Wales the writing was on the wall. It has been an unmitigated disaster for most of Wales

Plaid just like Welsh Labour is not bothered in the slightest that Wales (HTV Wales reporting) has a 1960's transport system.

Ditto the English hating nationalist loons and YesCymru types who seem to be just as silent on the zero progression regarding desperately required transport infrastructure improvement.

But hey!.... Better to "keep em poor and keep em voting for us" along with having the continuation of a siege-mentality along with isolationist/nationalist victimhood, whereupon Westminster/England can continue to forever get the blame.

Their lives would be empty without an anti-English blame game! And boy doesn't poverty arf provide 'jobs for the boys n' girls' in the third sector!

The aforementioned reluctance and ambition for Wales to be a modern and prosperous nation just goes to show the fact that the backward yokels do not even want Wales to progress. It does not suit themselves. They and their warped politics/adgenda(s) comes way before the country they profess to love so much!

Argus!

Its quite noticeable that no one who "supports" the WAG have popped their heads around the corner to defend the disastrous record of the past 20 odd years of labour rule . Any politician over the river is fair game for criticism (and rightly so if its warranted ) but to me it seems those who should be doing right for the whole of Wales but don't are beyond it.
