I’d imagine a sizeable chunk of the negativity is definitely is down to racism which is alive and kicking in many places, that said in my opinion Gething hasn’t exactly helped his cause with what I believe to be done very poor decision making regarding the donation to his campaign or his actions and conduct regarding Covid.
My personal view is he shouldn’t be the FM. |
Absolutely none of it is down to Racism, and all of it is down to him being utterly incompetent/borderline corrupt in every post he's ever held.
He's taking no more stick than Drakeford did, and a whiter individual it's hard to imagine. Maybe a Drakeford who's into Morris Dancing would theoretically be whiter. |  |

I would say little if anything is down to racism, he is just a shocking first minister who got the position in a questionable manner. I will be very surprised if he lasts 12 months, nothing at all to do racism. |
It's always the same excuses, Westminster, Brexit, climate change, and if they don't work, try the racist card. |  |

Drakeford is white and held with the same level of contempt in many quarters as is Gething so I have to ask but why do you assume its down to race. ? |  |

Now that Plaid have withdrawn from the agreement with Labour, it must be time for a new election.
Don't do what the Scots did and go for a 3rd leader. | | | |

It's got nothing to do with racism, just plain incompetence, Drakeford was white and got far more negativity.

Nonsense.
Is that the card any incompetent person of colour now plays?
If he wasn’t an untrustworthy condescending prick nobody would care. |  | | |

He's incompetent, anybody suggesting race is the motive is playing games of a distasteful nature. |  |

I am not supportive of his conduct or decision making nor do I believe he has shown the judgements which would make him a good first minister, in fact I think he should go and if he won’t he should be sacked - end of.
In terms of my comment on racism, I’ve no doubt that across society ( I’m not suggesting for 1 minute that any of the posters on this thread are racist) there are people who dislike Vaughan Gething simply because of the colour of his skin. It’s clear from reading the comments on here that the posters on here are well informed about what’s going on in Cardiff Bay, but sadly that’s not something which is replicated across wider society where there’s a great deal of apathy and disinterest in politics and government and in the wider society is where I believe the racism that I was referring to exists. | | | |

Your comment about apathy may have been true 2/3 years ago but a combination of disastrous policies the catalyst being the 20mph limit and the 200,000k bung has opened the eyes of the populace to what is going on in Cardiff.How much of the disdain towards the Sennedd will only be reflected by the next election ,interesting times all the same. | |

He's just claiming racism to deflect the criticism.
I don't dislike gething because he's not white, I dislike him because he's useless, a man who has shown poor judgement. He was a poor health minister and he'll be another poor First Minister because as he's already shown, he plays to the gallery and gives off a good image but there isn't much substance.
The claim of racism is risible unless he's good at his job... | | | |

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. | | | |

The recent PC election was possibly the worse best kept secret ever, no or very little publicity. but I agree a very disappoin iting y turnout all the same. The furore of the 20mph continues and now with an upsurge of the partial destruction of cameras I believe this particular topic will run for a good while yet . As bad as Drakeford was Gethin cant hold a candle to him so if he does survive then imo will not help the labour vote. | |

We thought things were bad in Westminster , Sunaks and his misses wealth income just been disclosed , man of the people , my ass .
Senedd and WAG another gravy train of freeloaders on our own doorstep , added to by the fact they want to shoehorn even more of these nobodies into their inner cirle .
Drakeford a dinosaur , surely an obvious sign from day 1 of his tenure , Wales is now in reverse gear , apart from Cardiff , a useless First Minister , gone and forgotten .
Vaughan Gething , so far in inspires no confidence , waffles a lot as per Politicians .
Now trying to dig himself out of a hole over dodgy donations , in a hole stop digging mush .
Welsh Politics alongside the Houses of Parliament debates , we are being taken for a ride .
Monkey with a Red Rosette attached to its chest would get all votes in Wales as my old man used to say , never asked him who voted for , not the given thing then .
Still vote at every opportunity , my right thankfully , unlike some parts of the World sadly .
AMs and MPs across the board , sure there are good ones out there doing their best .
Now for me my trust in any Politician is rock bottom . | | | |

Sunaks wealth increases as government ministers help Infotech to gain better access to UK government projects.
There was a case a few months back where a UK minister had promised Infotech that he would do what he could to assist them.
They should be doing what they can to assist UK companies not ensuring that even more work leaves the country | | | |

I agree you’d think the Welsh government would also be doing all they can to bring jobs to Wales.
Infrastructure being key.

It looks like he's now under more scrutiny as part of an enquiry into the building of new Velindre cancer unit in Cardiff ,despite concerns by 163 doctors consultants ,you know the people experts in their field, that the location and other factors made this new build unsuitable he as health minister refused to meet representatives to discuss those concerns.Its also come to light that one of the companys awarded contracts is Neal you know the one who hands out money to Guessing as part of the nod and a wink franchise.
How much more is to come to light because like a dog gnawing at a bone this isn't going to end tomorrow. | |

Gething's statement is basically where we are now.
Any view that doesn't confirm with a centre/far left view is "fascist" or "far right". Criticism of any public figure who isn't paler than a piss poor cup of tea is "racism".
This kind of bullshit needs to be contested. | |
