Is Westminster really any better in that regard?

I’m only saying what more and more people realise.

The scale of their cognitive dissonance is of that seen in radicalisation.
I cannot bring myself to listen to the live Senedd debates for fear of where elevations in blood pressure may lead to a subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Wales is crumbling and falling apart, the Senedd is a drain on limited financial resources, not fit for purpose and would be best scrapped.
Thank you for your accurate summation of those who line the corridors of ‘hobbit land’. 🙏

Absolutely agree!

Politics in Wales attracts those unable to make their way in the real world, the real economy. It’s why Wales is declining in every measurable metric.

Having worked in 3 private companies who were World Class like Rank Xerox has Production Manager…and then being in the Senedd has a Senior Re-search Officer, seeing the gulf in ability opened my eyes! Unfortunately I cannot see that changing?

I’ve thought as much myself. What a stupid hill to die on – so incredibly tone deaf it seemingly could only be contrived as a definite plan to annoy and repel as many as possible.

We live in the age when of people getting to decide far too much for themselves. The logical next step of absurdity must surely be people being able to decide their net worth. I’m reminded of what the fat prick who barred me from Bangor Wetherspoons for ‘racism’ said at the time, that it’s apparently up to the ‘victim’ to decide what is or isn’t racist.

This kind of subjectivist, kangaroo court bollocks way of thinking isn’t normally espoused by your common or garden chief microwave monger in a budget chain pub kitchen. It must have come from on high, delivered to management staff as the received wisdom of today’s society in ‘re-training’ seminars, delivered by some sanctimonious, gravy train-riding twat.

Remember that in Scotland, where devolution was made to work, it very nearly led to independence in the 2014 referendum. But the SNP government was led by Alex Salmond, who knew a bit about how the world worked, he’d been in the oil industry for years and he knew that Scotland could be like Norway with independence.

But then came the contrived ‘scandals’, the rise of Sturgeon, and the takeover of the party by the same kind of lunatics we see in the Senedd. People with no background in, or experience of, the real world. Playing student politics. Sturgeon eventually brought down by insisting that a double rapist be put in a women’s prison because he wore an ill-fitting wig. (The news about hubby dipping into the party piggy-bank came later.)

If I was a conspiracy theorist I could see the fall of Salmond and the rise of Sturgeon being externally controlled to thwart Scottish independence.

Yes, with a definite emphasis on how devolution didn’t work because it was a Westminster project from the start. I can imagine a graphic, one of those of that style with a quote and the quoted’s mug on it: “Power devolved is power retained”. I never realised it was Enoch Powell who first said that till I just looked it up now, funnily enough.

Life’s too short.
