There is no Welsh Assembly. It is called the Senedd. ( Capital S one N and two Ds).

Kindly etc. I know it is difficult.

No governments anywhere in the World are popular and deemed to be doing a good job.

The Senedd is no different. There can be improvements for sure.

The difference in Wales is that in no other country are they asking " what it is for?" and suggesting abolishing it.

This is a ths language of agitation and trouble making and promoting " regime change".

The purpose of the Senedd is that it s defines Cymru as a devolved " state" within a state. A semi Autonomous region.

Without this we have no claims to things we take for granted. Bilingualism international football and other sports and "National Museums" and independent history..

Many want to end this. Not by force but by persuasion. Reform works emphasize Welsh weakness not promote Welsh strength. We have Anglos on this site that denigrate Wales at every opportunity.

Saving Money us an excuse. £4m is WAY TOO MUCH on one hand for Welsh democracy. However at the same time 10,000 times as Much for BRITISH DEMOCRATIC institution s is appropriate given it's historical and architectural importance.

Reform supporters have compared the Senedd building designed by Sir Norman Foster as a good place for a new Wetherspoons for Cardiff Bay. I get the joke but also see the disloyalty. No one wants to use words like traitor.

War means bombs. Bombs means death and displacement. Displacement means refugees. Refugees mean boats. Boats means anger and restrictions on civil rights.

Europe is tightening up these things very slowly. UK people ars in the slow lane. The people support losing EHCR rights in one hand but staunchly reject Digital iD. The target should not be stopping illegal migrants. The solution is blocking illegals from free services via digital id .

The cause is the destabilisation of middle eastern countries like Syria Libya Iraq Afghanistan. This was sponsored by Likud and the USA government pandering to the requirements of armed Israeli fundamentalists breaking international law and annexing the lands of Palestine.

All nations forming a threat to this process have been turned into failed fragmented states. Iran is the latest. Expect Iranians to be this next group seeking Asylum from Isreali sponsored anarchy.

The " Settlers" have the West dancing to their tune fighting amongst each other. Tommy has been out as a guest of Isreal. The useful idiot definition.

Agreed of course but why is the UK Government located in a museum historical building which needs billions for Maintenance...

The Anti Senedd movement have labelled the £4 mm an outrage but nothing to say about the House of Westminster costing 10,000 time more.

There should be a national outrage if the MP s and Lords refuse to " fully decant".

Yes it was a great historical day and the end point of 600 years of struggle for an issue identified following 1000 years of fighting and violence after the Romans de camped.

Semi Autonomous rule has not worked perfectly by it plenty of English people seem to want to come to live in Wales.

Hardly any government worldwide is popular. No difference here but talking of abolishing the Senedd needs to be discounted by Welsh people.

I reminds me of the old John Toshack story when Swansea city were dropping down the league.

JT allegedly collapsed outside the same Sun Alliance building back in 1983 and was taken inside. He regained consciousness and asked "where am I?

"You are in the Alliance".

"What happened to league 3 and 4?" he replied .

Well there will be one or two youngsters who have not heard the joke before. 40 years ago after all.

i recent years we have has some massive controversies and Taxpayer plundering.

The 2009 Banking crisis was daddy of them all of course. Then we had Boris and his Covid stunts. Some of the new Kids on the block play the populist card but do not often refer to the taxpayer. I doubt Farage or Rupert Lowe would be any more in the taxpayers corner.

I read a while back the restoration coast would be £1 billion. These figures are horrific and may have been leaked to get the public on side.

About £80 billion can run War time Ukraine for about a year including weapons according to the media.

He will cost Welsh jobs if he gets in and he closes the Senedd and CWL Barry Airport.

So why will I not support him. The reason is he is an ENGLISH NATIONALIST not a BRITISH NATIONALIST. His mssion is to save English culture and that means squashing the Welsh.

This attitude is seen in Cricket. The England team represent the England and Wales Cricket board. The EWBC right ? No the W does not count.

I am not hear to make up the numbers. No Ruperts running Wales. Mass migration is England's problem

Mandelson has played the "Gay card" .

"I was not involved because they knew I was gay".

It worked for a famous UK singer and celebrity who did 15 month inside.

You do not need a weather man to see which way the wind blows" .

The "Resolven Mantra" is buy things in local shops and go to independent cafes Restaurants bars and pubs. We are heading to a world where people never leave their houses.

Social media is full of nonsense that UK is unsafe. The other great myth is working from home is more efficient.

The upper figure is 2000 times the construction cost of the Liberty stadium and the Senedd in Cardiff and more than Cross rail.

There are two options available

a) The outrageous option A. £15.6 billion

b) the Absolutely obscene option B. £39.8 billion

The fact that option B is even considered is an outrage.

These figures have sort of leaked and looks well dodgy to me. This could be the next HNG mess up.

Option A involved a " full decant" where the HoC and HoL are relocated for a few years. Option B is a " partisa decant " a gradual fleecing of the taxpayer.

Where do these figures come from. £15 billion ? £15,000,000,000. Wow for one building . The taxpayer is being sold a pup.

If the MPs and Lords refuse to 'fully decant' they will add a whopping £24 billion to the bill. That really would be taking the urine. £2000 per UK taxpayer.

Snoops firm Death Row does sponsor Swansea city. That is why Matos was wearing a Death Row logo. I am suggesting the Snoop money is part Sponsorship / part shares with the loading being on the sponsorship.

There is no suggestion of sponsorship " over market value" . There is no reason for him to do that. He is probably not a multi billionaire.

I am suggesting the money that the club has received from Snoop and Martha perhaps is largely sponsorship with the shares a minor part perhaps. The club needs a bigger stadium naming deal.

Yes but it is probably less than 10%. Snoopy has clearly invested in training apparel sponsorship with his firm Death Row. It could be Martha is involved in that firm as well.

By "investing" in Sponsorship rather than shares the the club call call the incoming money as "income " not "investment" and cash out on Idah and Galbraith which looked surprising at the time.
