Already on its knees in recent years thanks to the Welsh Govts unnecessarily heavy Covid restrictions, refusal to deal with M4 congestion and seeming intention to actually make getting around in Wales even harder. To top that off we've still got the mooted tourist tax to come.
Is there anything in this country that they can't screw up? |  |

People who can afford to retire to the nicer parts of West Wales May well be a drain on the NHS, but they have invariably spent their working lives paying more into it than the average person. They also invariably have bigger pensions and therefore pay more tax than most. |
Yes but all those of a certain age who worked hard ,paid their money into the state via income tax national insurance private pensions etc now reaping the benefits are denigrated called baby boomers who never had it so good.
I fall into that category and my view is I worked hard & bettered myself and if anyone has a problem with that then that their problem not mine |  |

How many times have you been told that places like the Rhonnda Valley and Cynon voted leave...yet once again you blame English people! |
I’m on record as saying “working class” areas were more prone to xenophobia . This is proven by the EU vote . Clearly,the working class see immigrants especially illegals as @ problem and a threat .
This can’t be admitted for obvious reasons.
Rhondda rather working class as I remember . | |

If it was an equal ‘ebb and flow’ of retired folk then there would be no issue.
But thats not whats happening.
The welsh demographic is being skewed due to large numbers of elderly English migrants.
That means its one way.
A net influx into Wales.
So it costs Wales more to look after them.
Yes they have paid in, but Westminster is not allocating extra funds to Wales to pick up the tab.
They also skewed the welsh Brexit vote. Being Boris’s Little Englanders. |
It's only a matter of time before they "skewered" the Senedd vote. Actually all they would need to do is turn out in force and Drakeford is buggered. |  | | |

You had it far easier than young people today. Fact.

You are forgetting that nice little facility called the bank of man and dad. Or even the bank of grandma and grandpa. Inheritance non tax levels have raised considerably in line with house prices. With house prices outstripping inflation and non taxable it is a nice little earner for little Johnny.
My elderly folk's neighbours passed away and left the house and estate to their feckless son. Preferring a few pints to application he failed in college and as a gas fitter and now is a council gardener. He inherited a house and a nice wedge from his grafting parents. Has to wait until his 50s though. |  |

This inter generational nonsense is a recent phenomena which is used for purely political purposes. I don't understand how anyone can fall for a principle that seeks to divide children against their parents. Who benefits from this?
My father owned his house, had a car, a business and had investments. No one told me that it was unfair that I could not afford a house until I was in my thirties and that my Dad was to blame. All my Dad's money was spent on his care at the end of his life, what he worked hard for kept him well looked after.
The question that the gullible need to ask themselves is if you vote for this, what happens next? what do you and anyone else gain? |  |

yeah, it was very lucky that from 1979 - 1998 the interest base rate never fell lower than 6.25% making buying a house quie expensive. Today the base rate is the hghest it's been in 15 years at 5.25.

You like to state FACT yet you rarely provide anyreal facts, just your opinion. My father was born in 1937, he did national service in the RN and when he finished he walked into a job and it was his for life, a privilige most haven't had since the 80's.

Fact! The Cynon and Rhonnda voted leave. How many English live there. The article actually says ' could be in part atributed'. I've no doubt many English people in Wales voted to remain.

just so you understand a little better , my Dad died leaving my mother with nothing except a mortgage , not because he was feckless , a womaniser , drinker nor gamble but because the jobs he had paid a pittance , no savings just a debt.and a percentage of g his well deserved state pension .
A debt which my mother at 92 still has , we as a family of 5 kids who were brought up there ( a 3 bedroom bungalow ) are trying desperately to support her so she sees her days out living in the home she loves ,
Everything I have is what I've earned and I mean everthing , maybe what you've posted is what you've experienced but it bares no reflection of my and millions of others lives . | |

High interest rates, no central heating. A lot of housing still with outside toilets. Hard to get loans credit etc. You talk utter nonsense! The one thing I will say is the price of property is steeper now but you can still get on the market if you go out of certain areas.
Well done to anybody who has made a success of their lives. It's normally called hard work! It's not luck. | | | |

You are very self confident for someone who is mostly wrong.
Your grandparents generation would have seen 2 world wars, the great depression and Spanish flu which killed 50 million people.
All you had to suffer was England winning the World Cup at the early days of mass TV.
You are also wrong about the current house price to wage differences - never been as bad as todays generation have to face. Try google. Your analysis lacks the depth required on this complex issue.
I do hope you are not advising any young people. | |

The article is about Wales.
Why are you harping on about Rhondda…?
Repeat after me, Wales voted for Brexit by a very small margin. It was such a small margin that the English retirees , who brought their politics with them, were numerous enough to have been statistically significant and very possibly the difference in such a close national vote.
Its been a disaster for Wales, of course, as predicted by all the sensible people.
Hows the taking back control of ‘our borders’ going ? 🤣
Hows Johnson doing as PM ? 🇬🇧 | |
