I like to think I give a little extra energy to the forum. I start threads and debate enthusiastically as Welsh patriot. No threads no forum.

What do you think of scrapping prescription fees and freeing up £624m extra for front line services ? I would also remove dentistry ( other than emergencies)

I see the three up arrows as a validation actually, when I check who they were from. I was a whistle blower on my time and as all Whistle blowers know, all your supporters disappear when push comes to shove. We a a cowardly people.

The post was not a wind up. It was simple assessment that is Welsh people want parity with England the first thing we need to do is free up the £600m + blown on free prescriptions charges. I am not immune from this myself so it is not self interest. People prefer to blame the NHS or Senedd.

You continue to go after the poster rather than the topic along with your sidekick Max. You see this with forums. The rump of regular s like to control the narrative. This saw the end of a previous forum I was on. I will not be gaslighted.

Pensioners should not be allowed to shelter their wealth in bricks and mortar. They can have a pensioners low cost loan to pay for prescriptions deducted on execution of the estate will. Rich people should not be on any benefits.

I highlighted the problems and typically offered a solution. This is because I do not whinge.

The changing income tax landscape
at 13:57 2 Nov 2026

I was on a zero hour contract on the railways.the money was good but no sick leave and no pension. I picked up a virus at Wembley actually 2013 and was out of action for three weeks. It must have been a severe flu or early COVID type event. No pay

Youngsters should be able to find £100 pcm. The HMG give an extra £25 on top. Compound growth will do the rest

Freezing the tax free allowance to 2031 will raise a lot of money without actually doing anything. I would scrap Winter fuel allowance immediately. It is not the job of the Government to keep people warm. UK is not Irtusk at minus 46c.

So basically we are paying for Ukraines Patriot missiles
at 13:32 2 Nov 2026

Uk are looking at the long game. In the big picture Russia has already lost. The idea of the extinction of Ukraine as an independent trading nation is over unless Russia goes nuclear.

NATO is in dream land l. Russia is being filleted militarily and economically with out a drop of NATO blood ( officially).

In th future free Ukraine will be looking for partnerships with it strongest allay. That is the United Kingdom. Flakey USA want signed contracts as they have behaved deplorably. When push came to shove their motivation was profit and this approach was supported by ordinary citizens.

At a guess that numerous wind turbine are more resilient than highly vulnerable and centralised gas electric generators plants.

Dispersing and localised energy generation is a clear lesson for this war for both Ukrainian and Russian experience.

Should the British state apologise for slavery?
at 13:18 2 Nov 2026

King Charles should apologise. It could be argued that much of his considerable personal wealth came from the profits from slavery.

All the expensive furnishings dating back a few hundred years for example

I have found the NHS to be very good in my experience but it is coming under a lot of criticism and so is the Senedd. Tha people can complain but if they want better services they will have to pay more.

We have in global terms a cheap service. The cost of private health show you how expensive these provisions are . Pay more get a better service

We in Wales can get better funding with a swipe of a pen. We gave fallen behind England and need to catch up . Around £624m would be saved by abolishing FREE PRESCRIPTION CHARGES.. Want the same service? Then get in with it. We are a democracy. It is about £20 a citizen. Older people in properties with £250k plus fully paid off are pleading poverty.

How to buy defence on tick
at 21:30 30 Oct 2026

So if you borrow £60 billion in 2000 at 7% how much is owed in 2026.

It works out at £360. billion. It's compound interest.7% interest sees double growth every 10 years .

Borrowing is always expensive if it is not paid off.

The banker got paid bonuses the banks could not afford and the taxpatvailed them out and in effect paid the banker bonuses with taxpayer money. A London banker f pocketing a cool £500k ( off the taxpayer) would invest it in a new house car and jewelry and holidays.

It is therefore not soaking the rich in taxes to bring in a mansion tax. It is simply revolving money back for the taxpayer that was shafted.

I probably have a lot more experience than you.i have worked in two islamic countries for instance for a total of eight years and that was within the community not in camp.

I have numerous things Muslim friends some devout and some not. I also have Muslim friends and neighbour in Wales and get in with all of them. Again some devout and others not. Most are not devout at all.

My Turkish mates are very warm and loyal even the devout ones. They tell me their faith is a personal matter.

It is a debatable who is more patriotic. Jason Mohamed or Lara Jones of Reform. I would back Jason.

UK has always taken a dim view of incitement to riot and the stirring UK of racial hatred. We in Wales stopped fighting the English in the1400 s and many in Wales are deeply insecure and distrustful of Welsh speakers and the movement. The movement it's self in order to be palatable is " pacifist"with means it can easily be be taunted by Agitators. We have them in Wales and they use "language stresses" to divide people .

A recent extreme version of deliberate agitation was used by Russia. They used language stresses in the Donbas and agitated their way to annexation by violence. Little green men infiltrated the Donbas like Strelkov who is a FSB officer and is trouble big time. ( He is wanted for shooting down a Malaysian airliner.) A separatist movement was created by the FSB with promised of patronage later. Propaganda later presented the temporary quashing of the separatists as ethnic cleansing of " Russian speakers ". The Donbas people in 2012-2013 objected to their children being taught Ukrainian in schools. People of big nations do not respect smaller ethnic groups in many cases and this can cause them all sorts of problems as Russia is finding out. Russian friendly people in the Donbas do not have Ukrainian taught in their schools but their western cities are ruble and thousands of their men folk are dead or crippled. Water sewerage and electric supplies are not in good shape. Russian duped them and replaced their location xalnlwadeex with the FSB.

Xaxley is an agitator and an agent from a foreign state which is annexing land illegally and violently based on race and religious beliefs . He is probably funded by Thirds parties. UK is a stable country which is good for business and wealth. Most Asian immigrants are not interested in religion and not fanatical at all. This disinterest is likely to increase with assimilation. Xaxley will present them as all fanatics.

UK voted for Asian over Europe immigrants in 2016 . If you live in a city you do not need to see official statistics to realise the extent of this.

Anthropic warning
at 10:41 27 Oct 2026

I lived in a Muslim country for seven years . Turkiye. I would happily live that again. Apart from Ramadan I did not notice any thing different . I was respected as a non Muslim .

More relevant was Turkish nationalism which meant I had to be carefuvwgaf I said with regards to Kurdish self determination.

Turks have two main groups Sunni and Alevi not many Shia. With me they claim no difference.

We need to keep an eye of militants and agitators who can create fake narratives and violence. Ai could be used for this. There is no where in UK I would be afraid to walk.

Even by the end of the century UK will still be less than 30% Muslim. Brexit fast tracked this percentage UK needs immigration for workers .We chose Asian over Europe.

Senedd debates banning face coverings.

Of course I could be wrong. However any you g women being on of a tiny minority of say 1 in 10,000 would wonder why she is treated like this an d no one else is. The answer could well be fear.

This can only be determined by interviews. I wonder if the ,young PC MS gas dine these interviews over simply defending the right of her husband. If she has not determined this she is out of order defending the practice. It goes against PC pe to Coles if integration..The o JH ect if this celebration of diversity is to fast track assimilation and contribution which is good for employment and paying taxes and reducing anxiety hate and frustration leading to violence.

He made a mistake in saying this as they are illegal immigrants if they do not claim Assylum. They are also illegal immigrants if their Asylum claim fails. The Reformers will run his nose in this is correct comment. What he said was not party policy.

I believe that many women wearing the Burka would prefer not to.. They young Plaid MS needs to speak to these women in confidence . Only a person with zero self respect would agree to this dress or be one of several wives.

There is some thought that the Home Office are puting local Afghan in the main customs over UK law and turning the a blind eye to polygamy. I like to think this is not true. It would be even worse it the rate layers are sponsoring it by paying benefits to large families with only one male breadwinner..

More SNP waste
at 20:59 25 Oct 2026

They can do this by not replacing retiring people with new employees. It is not necessarily wasteful in itself.

However with no redundancy rule one can expect sick leave rates to rise and people feeling less than100% might feel less likely to " battle on" and make it to work.

This is the way people think. I had a zero hours contract for 11 years but was on decent money. No sick leave.

I do not but the narrative of one region of UK subsidizing the others. The £500 billion bank bail out of bankrupt London in 2009 is never called a subsidy and neither is the Monarchy and Parliament basing themselves there. Birmingham is a more logical base.

The Ospreys must have calculated 8000 crowds are adequate to generate a profit If they do become successful where will they play. With 3000 fabs locked out the only way to profit from success is to increase season ticket and ticket prices.

The strategy of shrinkage makes no economic sense.

Most of the 2-3 m Muslims in UK are fully behind the £88m and so am I. We are held in high regard by some of the richest Arab states in the World. £88m . The Arabs of Man city just spent that plus another £40m on player from Nottingham Forest over the Summer.

We need young (Christian) European male and female workers. When that happens we can deny Visa for Asians students mostly Male (Muslim).and others.
