And I applaud them. No 1 success of any company is their people.....unfortunately someone with skills and acumen need to build and make things and if you look after them....I mean feel appreciated and valued......basic successful management skills your workforce will deliver. It's not rocket science it's like Royal mail...all the crap printed about losing 1 million a day.....they made 743 million pound profit but instead of investing it ...in the business and workforce they gave all of it to their greedy poxy shareholders. So the 1 million loss is utter crap led by a guy who wants to wipe clean the current contracts that our father's fought for for zero contract monkey's with no sick pay or any benefits. When you don't believe the press ie the gaslighting BBC etc and peer under the surface the new owner consortium of another foreign country money making crap...just wants to sell it all off...again this poxy corrupt government are allowing it. The NHS my son crashed his Mazda MX5 on black ice, car upside down bit of a mess...he is in RAF on leave....take him to Morriston Hospital he has been involved in a RTA...books in as urgent had to wait 18 hours just to be seen...a lady in a wheelchair had already waited 23 hours and she still hadn't been seen......its a disgrace unless your private which is again what this corrupt tories/robbers want. After waiting 10 hours for treatment and more and more people coming in from more RTA...he decided to go back to his RAF base for treatment and eventually ended up in Bangor hospital with Sepsis...if you voted for this government we'll done.....what a way to treat our people and our servicemen..

Sorry to hear that about your son and hope he recovers fully at an appropriate rate, not rushed.

2 weeks ago today I spent 14hrs in A and E with my mother ...I was talking to the main nurse and she said that at 1am when I was leaving there were 101 people waiting and they only had 39 beds ....This situation has been created by those right wing bastards , don't believe any if this is by accident

It's interesting to see today that Bravermans policy of sending migrants to Rwanda, has been declared Legal, by the High Court!

Interesting to note the UK Govt response to the Scottish Parliament passing the Transgender Rights bill today. Whatever anyone's opinions on the bill itself, the UKG is threatening to unilaterally overrule the Scottish Govt. Of course, if they do that it'll end up in court. Last time the UKG took the SG to court, polls for Scottish Independence put on an extra 5%. They'll go past 60% if the UKG goes down this road. There's a saying in indy circles ... Unionists will be the death of the Union.

Always raised a chuckle with me! They seem to be doing their damnedness to kill the UK. There's a book called "The Breakup of Britain" by Tom Nairn. Written in the early 80's. He compared the UK with the old States of Europe that broke up during the mid nineteenth to twentieth centuries that gave way to many of the modern Nation States. The complaints back then were of economic inequality, the desire to improve economic conditions and the lack of democracy. At the time, the British Empire was at its zenith ... Scotland and Wales were doing very well economically from their participation in it. Over the course of the twentieth century, the Empire waned and eventually passed. The UK economy changed dramatically and particularly in Wales where inequality has become embedded. The doctrine of the supremacy of the House of Commons has come to the fore with the Eurosceptic wing of the Tories wrestling control of their party. This is all very much wrapped up with sovereignty. Theirs is a vision of a single British Nation with the Commons being the sovereign parliament. That, in and of itself, is a pernicious nationalism. For a British pluralist such as myself it is an anathema. For the record, I am in favour of a British Union ... just not on current terms. It might surprise people but this was Gwynfor Evans' vision. He called it a "Brittanic Union." The model I favour is the Confederal model. Here's one quite well formed proposal: It's probably a bit too close of a union for Yes Cymru members, but it's one I could live with. I think it's the sort of compromise that could win broader support.

Interesting read , and the change called for is probably now the last chance before the ultimate breakup , which personally I feel is inevitable...one aspect that it don't cover ,which in my view affects Wales more than Scotland is the fact that the power of England to vote to leave the union ...I see a big change of the regions of England for some type of devolution added to comments

You've touched on something there Oracle. The re-emergence of English national identity post Empire. Richard Wyn Jones has a book out on it. It's a significant political factor now. Putting everything together, it seems to me to be futile to try to impose a singular centralised British national identity. It just doesn't work. We have our historic nations and we have a broader cultural identity. Any British Union has to reflect that. Trouble is, the Tories and Labour go for a political 💩 or bust approach on account of their mindset wrt power. I'm reminded of Yeats: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."

I've always remembered a statement my deceased father used to say ....as an ex Swansea player ( I know , it's a family shame of biblical proportion) and he also did a bit of reffing.....his mantra was always
'If you don't kick the man when he's down ....you might not get the chance when he gets up ....Typical scrum half and a guy who fell out of love with rugby when they removed the rucking from a base of ruck... |

Now would be a very good time to kick the Tories into touch. It is a source of enormous frustration to me that the Labour leadership are refusing to countenance PR and that they've put such a weak and incoherent constitutional reform proposal forward. The UK's lobsided constitution and electoral system is precisely what gives the Tories their power. Take it away from them! Trouble is, the likes of Starmer are seduced by it themselves. My old man was a hooker. Was a pupil of Carwyn James. Went on to teach and coached football and cricket at schools level. Was very successful. 3 things he said he learned from the great man was, drill fitness and skills, select a team not individuals and think - play what's in front of you.
