Reply		How far Swansea has fallen ?

I believe that the whole nation is in post Covid malaise. Working from home has been bad for getting things done and leads to poor communication and all sorts of work complications.

The nation is soft on drugs and it is beginning to show in national statistics. One million new workers on benefits due to mental health issues.

EU has already given the UK very good terms. In 2021 a good deal was agreed. THE EU has been very generous to UK.

From AI

"The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) provisionally entered into force on 1 May 2021 and provides for zero tariffs and zero quotas on all trade of EU and UK goods that comply with the appropriate rules of origin."

Immigration free movement is blocked which is why the French are perhaps not too tough on people smuggling.

I disagree. This issue is worth a thread. Profits of our natural resources are not being shared with Welsh people.

The king owns fees from Wind off Porthcawl. The Senedd dare not block new ones.

The Senedd learned long ago to disperse those waiting on decisions.one year minimum to wait and another year for an appeal.

If you disperse the people the public will not notice so much. One might expect that the refugee will abscond if the appeal fails or get hooked up with a local girl and start a family.

Refugees and camps are what they expect. They should of course be decent places to live. A fast turnaround is possible if the authorities put their mind to it. Losing the right of appeal would help.

The law is always minded to drag things out as some of them are on time based payments.

Big companies avoid tax by basing themselves in RoI where the taxes are lower. Almost all food packages show the firm is in RoI.

EU and UK should force companies to list where the profits were made. The profit it's taxed on where the profit was made. This is a common sense.

When is common sense is not used you have to ask why. It is likely that the big firms have a disproportionate clout with Governments.

PS. We have had some technical issues today. Now back in order Apologies..

The country went into overdrive knocking up all sorts of camps and mobile hospitals within weeks over Covid. If they wanted to speed things up they could.

The public do not want them in old RAF camps on boats in hotels on in shared houses

The boat people should immediately be arrested put into a basic clean warm camp and given medical treatment.and psychological testing. Their religious beliefs established including any anti western issues.

There would be a fast working team on site looking to fast track asylum claims. There should be a judge to assess " fast track" appeals.

One wonders why they cannot act decisively given that it is an obvious election winner.

Get the winners to work and the losers on a plane out.

Brexit is a scheme to turn the nation into an Anglo Asian powerhouse. The money people want Asian businesses and people to help drive the country forward.

Young single Europeans male and female have been replaced by Asians males. They are economical more productive and wi do unpopular jobs.

Meanwhile Eluned "encourages" workers to come into the office as there are so many empties desks to justify paying for the office. She is too timid to instruct them it seems.

I think my post man or woman is working from home.

The Gulf of Mexico is heavily polluted from leaking old oil Riggs and the Deep Water horizon event.

There are hundreds possibly thousands of old rig leaking oil and particular gas. The oil men will never clean up after them and have cut and run. Trumps mates did real well.

Now he is going after wind and solar power.

https://www.eenews.net/articles/trump-is-escalating-his-attacks-on-wind-solar/

They say the renewables are subsidised. But so is coal oil and gas because their subsidy is not having to clean up after them ..We see this in Merthyr.

In UK K there are no plans for the disposal of nuclear wastes. Germany and Sweden have built big shafts costing billions to dispose of nuclear waste.

It shows how dumb civil servants are. They offered him 25% of fees for offshore wind farms s just as they were expanding massively. Unfit for their position s and pensions.

The Senedd gets it both barrels while these elite London civil servants are left alone.

The King is due to receive a $60m pay rise this year. This rise is mostly for increased profits at the Crown Estates and most of the profits are from off shore wind farms.

A large percentage of offshore wind farms are in offshore Wales. We citizens have to put up with the turbines and pylons and the King pockets the profits.

The Senedd asked for parity with Scotland on this I but it was declined. Many Welsh people do not want to control their assets and the money goes to the south east.

I read that the King took 25% of offshore wind fees. I read somewhere ha had agreed a reduction to half that Offshore wind fes for England and Wales could be £400m with Wales perhaps 25% of that.

When the USA left the trained Afghan army chose to run rather than fight.They had all the kit and the money they needed to repel an heavily out numbered rival.

They behaved in a cowardly way and ran. They were not prepared to fight for a decent life for them and their women and submitted to a scary but limited opponent. Millions ran away.

Afghanistan majority do not want the Taliban but we're not prepared to fight as they do not have a clear set of principles of moderate Islam and defer to the fanatics.

Money is static and crooks cannot get at it unless a mechanism is made to move an institution's money.

One the money is in transit and things need to be paid for it is easy to over invoice and get the boss man to sign it off.

Construction over design is one way. Order top of the range a d get kick backs.

Not saying this relevant to this case just a general comment.

at 12:17 23 Jul 2025

The club is owned by David Clowes
He bought the club out of adminstration which means he did a deal with the creditors to give some of their money back. He paid £13.5m for the club and bought Pride Park for £1.

Administration give highly indebted clubs a bit of an advantage as most of their debts generated by the Frank Lampard era are washed clean.

For that reason there are point deductions. Derby obviously played well enough to avoid the drop despite losing points.

Clowes is wealthy but looking for new cash and willing to give up some of the club.

He signed two of them and the other did very well at Plymouth and was no bother at all there until some harsh words at the end. They sold him for £5m.

The only manager I know that fell out with three much needed players simultaneously. Patterson Obafemi and Whittaker.

Potter I belief fell out with McBurney but kept it out of his press conferences and was able to enable Swansea to a whopping £20m fee. He actually apologised for leaving Swansea in the lurch.

I doubt this will turn out well. Welsh coaches have not been up to the mark over the years. I hope to be proved wrong.
