The forests still absorb carbon from the atmosphere and still generate oxygen. Diversity can be improved in later planting phases. It could be mono culture is only the first step to get a foot hold. China will care more about the environment as their wealth increases and they can afford it.

They are racing to improve wealth for their people.

Planting trees in Africa compared to the list of dreadful work by Westminster. This is beyond a joke post. Laughable.

The airport suppogets4000 taxpaying jobs in Maintenance and freight. We need to get people back k to work and paying tax.

Jobs in developing fields is also important..Reducing traffic on the road helps with 4 million unneeded journeys some over that creaking A48 bridge ( the first seven bridge is approximately 60 years old)

Swansea folk on hear complain about Bryn Glas Tunnels then say I'm off to Bristol Airport.

The £400 m " investment" is from NATS.

A public-private partnership the UK government holds 49% and a golden share, with 42% held by the Airline Group, 5% by NATS staff, and 4% by UK airport operator LHR Airports Ltd

48%. of £400m is £192m. One is an investment of taxpayers money £192 in the next year or two the other is a gift or subsidy over10 years. UK Government is also supporting Doncaster. These are wealth creators potentially.

CWL already support 4000 jobs all paying tax. The UK Government cannot be allowed close down another employer in Wales.

Bristol announced a £400m investment in October 2024. Private money right ? Not the Welsh subsidy of £200m.

In the last few days the investor has been identified. NATS the privatised air traffic controller firm.

It is 51% owners by HM Government. Do not worry about Wales they will fight amongst themselves. We have unionists over there.

Scunthorpe all over again. Shut Wales invest in England. If we do not fight for ourselves the English will not. Common sense really. Let the plebs travel to Bristol is only adds an hour extra.

It is a percentage and misleading. Actual tonnage is a far better guide. I suspect will drop as China modernises. Whether the percentage drop depends on the whole.

They want to be like us of even more advance than us. I have read that they are simultaneously greening desert areas and have planted 1 billion trees. The right wing never mentions this.

The right wing commentators have no imagination and want us to following current day China (without the tree planting ) not the future China they see for themselves.

Giving asylum seekers summer 6 month temporary work picking fruit and veg for minimum wages while being assessed seems like a good idea to me. Demonstration of good work ethic (time keeping etc) would count in assessment.

Arrivals would reduce expect. But many might be keen to graft. I would make it compulsory but it could be optional.

I cannot see anything morally wrong with this but forced labour is not popular in liberal democracies but neither is illegal immigration and paying billions g for homes and hotels.

Samson in 2022 talked out of turn with inappropriate comments. Aluko did not confront him and got an apology but trashed him in the HoC committee where he was unable to defend himself. Dan Ashworth the football manager was the only one that defended him. ( He was no angel that be said).

Now Aluko has fallen foul of unwise comments on national treasure " Wrighty" and her apologies rejected. She will be frozen out of the pundit gravy train as well. She can moan about it like Mark Lawrenson for the next 5 years when bumping into Mark Samson at the job centre.

My only agenda is that the Senedd stays. I others wise accept the will on the voter. Brexit was a disaster but I accepted the results and the consequences for Welsh people.

All the bloke in the petrol station are now male Asians instead of mixed young Europeans of 10 years ago .

1m Welsh heading to Bristol . I suggest to you the vast majority would fly from Cardiff if the options were available .

One wonders why Bristol Airport cannot buy Cardiff off the Senedd and serve their customers closer to home and still profit cutting carbon.

Bridge tolls might return when a new bridge over the A48 is required.

Yes I agree and it was a big disappointment to read about this. It is dumbing down suggesting the vote does not ready discriminate between individual candidates and just puts a cross on the party. It supports the idea that the votes are weighed in Wales to save a time.

Black communities identify with Kaba and support him as he is " one of their own". It is not logical but it happens.

My example is how would I look at if "one of our own " did such things. WR is a hero of mine so used it as an hypothetical example. I would not give him any slack at all. He would never behave like this of course.

We a democracy and it is up to us all to select the best people that fit your values and are competent.

Poverty is defined as follows.

*"In the UK, poverty is generally defined using relative income poverty, where households with incomes below 60% of the median UK income are considered to be in poverty."

Some people will use such figures and argue for the "eradication" of poverty in disgust. It is and always will be impossible of course because it is a ratio.

There is also for me an issue about whether " poverty ' is actually bad for you or character building. These are not popular thoughts of course. I was brought up in poverty I suspect. A dose of hard work on the grandads farm. No insulation in the house in the he Brecon Beacons. No spare cash. We always ate healthy food from the back garden.

Work is good for everyone. I am surprised how cheap healthy food is in Lidl. Historically low. Healthy sardines for 25p.

The data on health is more important than relative poverty. Cut diabetes drug abuse anti social behaviour mental health. I am sure mental heath issues are related to c substance abuse.

I would like to see severe sentencing for drug dealers including physical labouring.

The Scottish and North Irish governments have more members and there will be 8 less MPs in Westminster. They argue there is extra work to do.

I do not like the new election system of voting for parties not individual MPs. I leaned of that on here actually. Individual MPs can avoid responsibility for their own actions. Welsh committees do not work well .

The "Black Community". need to mature and thank the Police from removing a particularly nasty criminal with a careless attitude to guns which are highly illegal in UK. UK police ars normally unarmed.

Many deaths associated with gun crime are innocent bystanders it seems to me often female. If I was a black commentator I would thank the police.

I have a deep respect for (say for example) Wayne Routledge but if he started behaving like Kabba I would hav no sympathy for him whatsoever (highly hypothetical comparison) .

UK will move back closer to Europe without actually rejoining a I suspect associate members. Trump has single handily destroyed Brexit logic by tarrifs on UK and Europe together.

USA could change their ways and make cars more suitable for the tight street of Europe and improve the food standards to EU standards of they want to compete.

You are defined by British Nationalism with name and flag well to the fore. I do not see why in these times you cannot be proud to be Welsh and British.

British have a lot to be ashamed of, of course but so do other states and cultures. Welsh people played a full part in this imperial abominations as well.

Wales in not Glasgow or Northern Ireland. Fast too relaxed for that. The Union flag should not be associated with anti Welsh culture sentiments in 2025.

I cannot stand nationalist icons myself. Flags songs etc . What is want us high standards and aspirations. That is why I take a dim view of lurid chanting which would be very serious u indeed if t it was targeted at any other social group. ( Even possibly closing down of the stadium for a few weeks).
