Reform Wales on 15:27 - Apr 9 by ReslovenSwan1 | The closure of raw steel making at Port Talbot was signalled from a decade back. Government people seeing this and the closure of Ford arranged Ineos to come to Bridgend. It was shelved after Brexit and moved to France. A Brexit knee in the groin. These people promise a lot and deliver next to nothing. US and Asian investments should now be all over Wales but are not. There is some talking of US money coming to UK arriving out of Trumponomics. We will see. |
Ineos went elsewhere because they were offered more money and a better facility. Virgin steel production has been in decline here for more than a decade, cheap Chinee steel AND Tata wanting more money either in government subsidy or by lowering costs to improve profit margins which is why they moved it to India where regulations are lesser. These things would probably have happened if we had voted remain as our membership of the EU increased the manufacturing drain with companies moving to cheaper locations across Europe. They chased the increased profits. |  | |  |

Should never have been privatised. We still need a nationalised steel industry for national security reasons. Its blindingly obvious. |  |

Once we lost trade with the EU and they booted us out that huge market went South . Thankfully by then I was out of the industry on the second round of voting came along . My initial vote was to stay in Europe due to trading contracts abroad , it was necessary . Second vote was to leave , it really was a pin a tail blindfolded to a donkeys rear end . Think that them donkies of all parties are in the spotlight and running the UK . |  | |  |

You're right, the steel, water, gas, electricity should neber have been sold off. Many reasons why. If Staermer really wants to rebuild this country they need taking back. |  | |  |

It they were nationalised they would be running at huge losses paid by the taxpayers and subject to continual industrial action by unions. Nationalised industries are always inefficient and over manned. You only have to look at our civil service to see that. Still producing 6% to before covid despite an extra 200,000 civil servants. |  |

Not at all, they are better value for money as the profits return to the country and not to a foreign country. As for efficiency, the much maligned NHS, has a management structure far more efficient than most private companies.On;y 2% management as against far more for private companies. |  | |  |

You've said this before and I have said before that it doesn't have to be that way again. Besides, is that going to be much worse than an over[riced service that is getting worse and worse even as bills keep rising ahead of inflation? How long can we go on seeing our bills rise whilst the service gets worse and the people at the top getting richer? I'd rather take the chance that nationalisation works because if it doesn't, it's no worse than what we have now. |  | |  |

Everything Welsh is battered on here on the altar of second city syndrome. Especially the guy from East Anglia. People want the airport shut down Rhoose Airport and a white flag run up the pole to the horrible Bristol Airport which is the chosen one for London. Up to 4000 jobs put at risk. People do not condemn Bristol thugs coming to Wales singing filthy ethnic slurs at Welsh grandmas shopping. Some people want to scrap the Senedd that has taken 600 years to establish. It has been a lot less wasteful and corrupt pro rata than Westminster for sure. Performance average. The Mumbles tram is a no brainier of no brainers and would add a lot to Swanse. . No support. It is "too expensive". Not to expensive for down at heal Blackpool. Posters ridicule the Senedd for moral support to Uganda to help the poorest of the poor comparing it to English excesses. it is a only moral support and good PR. £177k since 2019. The Bryn Glas Relief road is an excuse for Brexit where Welsh people gave away their jobs and prospects for no return. The Welsh resources of Wind and water and cornered off by English institutions like Severn Trent and the Crown Estate and King Charles personally. Get you kids and grand kids out with a union flags and wave when the mega cash hoarder shows up. He could pay for the Mumbles light tram from petty cash. They do not invest they hoard. |  |

The sunsets over Worms Head have been spectacular recently and the sun flower fields are to die for . I love Wales . In other news I see its come as bit of a shock to the Sound bite chamber in cardiff that Dow Corning are closing a major portion of its plant in Barry with a loss of 250 direct jobs .Brexit? By the way it hasn't been £177k , its easy to research how much it really is . |  |

Some of us really love Wales and are proud welshmen but are not happy with the decisions being made by those in power. It does not make us less patriotic, its just that we have a clearer vision on how things should be improved. Instead of just burying our heads in the sand like some others and saying everything is fine with the way we are being run. |  | |  |

That's probably because the good things don't make the headlines here or in Westminster and therefore are not talked about. The Welsh government have promised to develop an integrated public transport service in Wales, with trains and busses linked so you don't get off a train in rural areas then have to wait over an hour for a bus. Do this and I will praise them, it is achieved in other areas. |  | |  |

Wales has dropped in the rankings of basically every measure that matters since 1999. From Health, to Education, to Economy and others, they've failed on every front. That's not political motivation talking. The figures are clear to see. They've done nothing for Wales. Plenty for themselves, and the one City that they like to keep onside, but the rest of us would demonstrably have been better off if a couple of thousand people had voted the other way in 1997.
