Exactly. ‘Dave’ doesn’t seem to understand devolution: it’s all about impressions and deceptions.

Fundamentally, devolution is allowing a bunch of third-rate politicos to expend a lot of hot air deciding how to spend Wales’ pocket money, while the policy decisions are made by civil servants posing as ‘advisors’.

But devolution must never, ever, be used to in any way disadvantage England or the English. Which is why I regularly argue that devolution is a load of old bollocks.

In reply to dave brooker. But this would be at the expense of the English which is why it is unlikely to happen.

What would boost Wales would be giving the assembly the power to set business rates.

In reply to anonentity. Yes, I know what you mean. The creepy, sneaky, back-stabbing type, who turns on his own family.

Fair play, and not much disrespect intended, but that David Jones could certainly make a living playing the creepy character in films

The man who famously travelled 100 yards down Whitehall in a limo. This guy is a total waste of time and money. Has a non job. Elected by nobody.
