They are making a fuss, demanding more moeny form the Senedd and one of them, a Soprano, is on Welsh politics this morning saying Westminster should agree an emergency funding package to safeguard jobs, seriously...WTF? They can't safeguard TATA jobs, they can't safeguard the NHS, schools, police or social care and rhe Opera demand more money from government. I say they can go forth and multiply. There are far more important things than jobs for a few hundred people that only a few thousand go to watch. |

| Forum Thread | More Westminster F-wittery at 15:10 5 Apr 2024
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68740332 In what world is it ok to give other peoples data out these days? Let alone giving out other Mp's private numbers. Bad enough he did it but then apparently 2 MP's responded to naked pictures by sending pictures of themselves! Westminster if full of F-wits! They need to be removed. This Wragg, of he had any clue at all, onstead of doing as he did, he should have gone straight to the security services and reported this. National security has to come before whtever compromising info they had on him. That was probably pictures he'd sent back anyway the total cockwomble. After reporting to the security services he should then have resigned immediately. Instead he's still in post and Jeremy Chunt is praising him for apologising! Never mind a general election, if he hasn't resigned the Tory idiots should have suspended him. If you cannot trust an MP to know about data protection then they should never be allowed to be an MP. |
| Forum Thread | Aid workers killed at 18:35 4 Apr 2024
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-68729082 My personal belief is that Israel did it on purpose. They don't want aid reaching Gaza because their intention is to wipe it out completely, they want those that aren't killed to leave so there is no more Muslim presence there. And please, of you can't be sensible, don't post. It's ruining the forum and preventing decent debate. |

I've had many concerns about how our club is being run and while new owners would be preferable, maybe be careful what we wish for, https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2024/3/15/24101235/is-the-end-nigh-for-read Readings owner is selling their training ground. It is alleged he has asset stripped them and that he has done it twice before, asset stripped 2 clubs then liquidated them when there was very little left. Maybe our owners aren't that bad! |

Good to see him really on the offensive, having a proper go at the tories. I know some will disagree but for me he should have been doing it for months, in politics, why not kick the oppo when they are down? In his own words "what is the point of a party that is out of touch, oit of ideas and nearly out of road" |
| Forum Thread | This recession at 18:46 15 Feb 2024
isn't ironic, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68285833 people stopped spending which contributed to creating this recession but people stopped spending bcause of the high cost of living caused by the unflation the government didn't do enough to get under control quick enough. If they'd removed green taxes from petrol for 3-6 months that would have been better, in my definitely not expert opinion. Now we're told there won't be tax cuts in the next budget unlesss they cut services too, well what a surprise. We know the country is broke and we know it's because of decades of financial mismanagement by successive governments. The diesel scandal, PPE scandal and the green taxes which appear to be a rip off also as all these green taxes take a lot of money but where has it gone? |
| Forum Thread | QI tonight at 21:34 19 Jan 2024
I know it doesn't seem football related but tonight Cyril the Swan was a question on QI, I'm sure some smart alec will find the clip in time. It's when Cyril ripped of the Millwall mascots head and kicked it into the North bank shouting don't feck (sic) with the Swans... The audience loved it! At the Vetch and on QI. |
| Forum Thread | Have we finally had enough at 08:20 10 Jan 2024
What we have seen with the Post Office scandal, the mass outpouring of support for those poor people, is this the start of us using our voices and making the powers that be pay attention, or is it just a flash in the pan? Will the great British public stand together going forward, will social media drive people on to demand what is fair and right and will a unfied voice see changes happen? Or will we all just climb back into our boxes? |
| Forum Thread | The Welsh Brain Drain at 12:19 29 Dec 2023
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/truth-welsh-brain-drain-told-28318 As has been said many times on here, young people are leaving Wales because there is very little opportunity for them. The Welsh population is the slowest growing in the UK and much of that is the retirees moving here with their nice private pensions having sold bg expensive houses elsewhere which means Wales is indeed turning into an English retirement home. This is because of the Senedd so in basic terms those who hope for an indy Wales are peeing into the wind because as th years pass the number of Welsh in Wales is falling and the English number is increasing. Kilkenny thinks the young will take us out of the Uk but how can they when they will have taken themselves out of Wales? Those elderly English people are also more likley to be Tory voters so one day, if we have a decent Tory party (right now the idea is laughable) Wales may vote Tory. Even the Plaid leader is calling out Labour on this, In response Plaid Cymru’s leader Rhun ap Iorwerth MS called on the Welsh Government to develop a new strategy to tackle depopulation in Welsh communities. The Member of the Senedd for Ynys Môn said “tai, gwaith, iaith” – meaning "homes, jobs, and language" in English – were the cornerstones of “vibrant and resilient communities”. Although with the numbers of fluent Welsh speakers still falling despite all that's being done it's hard to see how "iath" is so important, surely homes and jobs are what is really important? being a homeless, unemployed Welsh speaker is hardly good. |
