Over 500 jobs going in Bridgend.

Another hammer blow for the local community.

You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

When De Gaulle was blocking our application,it could be argued that there already was a mini dictatorship


He did it because he knew this country could be a pain in the arse, and he was right

No he didn't but there you go , he disliked /mistrusted everyone ,a modern day "La perfide Albion " it just so happened at that time ( disregarding the US where they were in Vietnam and where the French had earlier had their arses kicked ) , we were directly involved in trying to enter the eec.

It’s amazing how 500 odd people losing their jobs (many friends of mine) has turned into a thread about Brexit which 100% had no bearing on the decision.

As I said earlier those who cannot see the poor infrastructure in & out of South Wales is effecting not only business coming to Wales but is seeing companies move out are fools.

Bit like Drakeford & Gething.

It is affecting tourism as well. West Wales is not as buoyant as normal while the South West of England is booming. Bluestone offering a 10%-20% discount for this summer has never been heard of before and its not the only business.

Really?

Drive 50 mph on a motorway from Magor to Cardiff with major congestion at the Brynglas tunnel.

Drive 50 mph from Port Talbot to Swansea with signs saying its to reduce emissions as you drive past a steel works

Soon to drive at 20mph

You wont even be able to buy a meal deal soon.

Pay a tourism tax for the pleasure.

Not sure why people are not coming!

Its not only that but on changeover days you have queues at Pont Abraham, Cross Hands, Carmarthen both roundabouts and St Clears. On a Friday it can easily take 4-5 hours from the bridge to Tenby. Then you look at the South West, yes the M5 has bad patches, but from there south as far as Penzance the A30 is mostly dual carriageway by passing the towns with no roundabouts to speak of. There is a massive road building going on down there to iron out any problems. There aim is to get you to your destination as quickly and safely as possible. Compare that to the Welsh policy.

I had work in Hereford on Saturday. I knew there was a lot of work still going on with the 465 but I thought Saturday won't be too bad. Let's give it a go! Closed at Merthyr, okay fair enough then road closed Brynmawr to Abergavenny. Brand new road. Lovely little detour through Abertillery Pontypool etc put 40 minutes on my journey. On the way back it was to be M4. Chock a block for miles around Newport. This was about 1.15pm with absolutely no events on. This is the norm I'm afraid and when I drive down to South Devon, even on a Sunday, it can be like that.

Brexiteers with no where to go on their disastrous project are trying with all their resources to blame Drakeford. Nothing else left for them.

Ford - Gone to Slovakia
Ineos - Gone to France
Biomet Gone.

Nothing replacing them. Bridgend voted for Brexit. New companies recognise Bridgend is a bad place for business. I used to be concerned about welsh jobs. Not anymore.


Well said.

We "begged "as you put it to join a trading partnership not a mini dictatorship.


Blair said in 9 years as PM there was nothing that the EU asked him to do against his will.
Thats reality.

Your dictatorship comment is pure tabloid bollox. Tabloids owned by billionaires who live in tax havens mind you.

Maybe if the welsh share of the HS2 cash could come to Wales, then we could have big new roads as well …?

Strange how extra funding helps.

I'm not sure that Tony Blair being wholly onboard with the EU's aims and objectives is much of a selling point.

The only problem with that is it traverses the country east to west not north to south

The loss of manufacturing jobs trend long predates Brexit so I’m sure you’re right, Penc.

Have they actually given any reasons? Can’t seem to find any.

Drakeford put the stopper on building more roads or even upgrading existing roads. have you not been paying attention again.

PS Blair was never asked to do something HE didn't want to do but he did a lot of things, like the illegal war. Funny how you like Blair sometimes. Just as well Bojo never said something you agreed with or I'd be calling you hypocrite.

Well then, if this country is so bad why don't you go somewhere you like...how about Russia.

DeGaulle didn't like Britain (though England may be more accurate,

As for de Gaulle, one of his closest advisors noted that he 'must constantly be reminded that our main enemy is Germany. If he would follow his own inclination, it would be England.'
