Thread		Betty Campbell was great but is the disproportionate?

Being first in any thing is creditable but being Wales s first Black head mistress serves a plaque for sure.

However the massive structure outside Cardiff Railways station is enormous. Bigger than anything for Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King.

I was not familiar with the word "woke" but visitors must be baffled when asking what she he achieved. She became a head mistress and did good stuff in general.

There is another statue in Cardiff for Sir Gareth Edwards who player "white skinned only" rugby in Apartheid South Africa.

Mark Allen was upgraded from the head of Academy to head of Football. He has links to Celtic and Man city.

He brought in Ogbeta who was probably a decent enough young football who has established himself elsewhere in the Championship. More useful than Pederson for sure.

Finlay Burns was way too young and never looked happy at Swansea. He also brought in Ntcham who performed well. Swansea signed him for free and got all his wages back after selling him and getting a World cup payment.

Overall his record was not too shabby. It looks like he did not get on with Martin who managed too fall out with all of his goalscorers at once except the chosen son Cullen.

Patterson Obafemi and Whittaker. Whittaker was a brat but so was McBurney. Potter played down his problems with him and got a massive transfer fee close on £20m. Martin didnot manage Whittaker well as Martin was not looking after the clubs interests so well. He was bounced out of the club for a £1m. Plymouth said thank you very much put up with his nonsense perhaps and sold him for £6m.

A lot of Welsh people carry these opinions and have done so over the decades. The valleys people who use to turn the TV aerial to HTV West to avoid hearing Welsh language news.

You must remember that many Valley and urban people immigrated to Wales 200 yeas ago to work in the mines and later had sympathy with the Labour party where centralisation was the mantra. These good folks do not hate Wales h just think the English including Tory's can run Welsh affair better than the locals.

This all changed in 1999 with Blair and the formation of the WAG. As we see elsewhere loyalty to the origins can go back through the generations.

There has always been more money in England which has massive urban centres which are now international not English. It is the same as with the football.

Skysports went to Merthyr about 15 years ago for an u21 game. The coverage was aborted as the OB van could not get to the ground.

Merthyr have shown no ability to get to the EFL A few years ago they spent money of the squad and could not pay the tax bill. They had to have a whip round. They will have no difficulty beating Clevedon Devizes and co but will run into a brick wall v. Yeovil, York, Scunthorpe Maidstone etc

Reply		Trump puts 25% tariff on imported cars
at 18:34 6 Apr 2025

The USA is doing fine that is why the S&P 500 was racking up to last month. Trump is a hustler by nature and wants it all.

Europe got shale gas fro North America at a higher cost which is good for USA. I even gave you rough figures.

If the USA was not worried by 8,000 Russian tanks why do they have 100,000 troops in Europe still. Ukraine has heroically reduced the Russian army massively well over 50% and new production cannot keep up. This gives Trump the option or relocating some of these troops or laying them off the public purse.

USA sent about 170 Bradleys (light fast tanks) but 3/4 have been lost. They are light and better suited to the conditions doing hit and run missions.

USA is using the Ukraine war to bring forward new kit a year or two. Trump wants the old kit to be paid for. Other nations who are not hustlers were prepared to write them off as was Biden. It is the same with Joey Allen. Swansea could have sold him in January and asked for £10m. Trump is charging the full value for Joey £15m the 2011 price. Coleman is not Trump and would have given him a free to get his wages off the books.

USA always had to replace t its kit and it is more expensive. Finland and Sweden have capabilities and with the rest of Europe allow USA solders to relocate to the south Pacific. (saving billions).

Lend lease was never taken up and was agreed by Ukraine. It can be restarted at any time. UK had one in 1944.

Unless they change their ways the military production complex will lose big orders. F35s for example. USA technician are needed t for back up support and maintenance. If USA threatens its partners with non compliance their partners will ditch them.

In the short term USA is f doing fine. In the long term y they will lose influence. It is not difficult to understand. I am not an expert but can read the way the wind is blowing.

There is a cost of living crisis and everyone is complaining about prices. In a recession prices drop. People with fixed rate bonds or guaranteed pension need not worry about it too much.

The main problems are cause by theiving land grabbers. Russia and Israel. The other trouble are civil wars and religious fanatics.

Muslims might not like their religion but cannot notionally convert without consequences. This is not in keeping with our culture. All British Muslims should be allowed to convert without worry.

The way I see it the USA has had 100,000 troops in Europe for 80 years and seemingly wants out once the Russian tanks started rolling.

The red states have demonstrated their automatic machine guns are for bouncing oil can around the yard not a real war.

USA is doing very well out of the Ukraine war and now want paying for its help up to now.

a) Liquefied Natural gas.

I believe the USA blew up the Nordstream forcing Europe to buy USA LNG

The amount is 45m tonnes at $450 per tonne = $20.25 Billion each year. Roughly $60.75 billion over three years.

b) The significant destruction of Russian tanks, Infantry fighting vehicles Military Patrol Vehicles artillery and trucks along with massive loses of the better Russian infantry. This means the Pentagon can spend less.

c) The use of ageing military equipment due for scrap. Old Abrams tanks and Bradleys in particular. The $100 billion + of aid to date is a notional number representing the notional value of Militarily equipment which previously was due for scrapping.*

d) The joining of Finland and Sweden means USA need to spend less themselves.

e) Increased Europe spending means US troops in Europe 100,000 can be reduced saving billions.

f) US want repayment for much of it military aid. It actually has a Lend lease deal but not used it.

g) Intelligence information of performance of US kit in the field with no loss of US personnel. There is a gold mine of information being collected in the field with US people not at risk.

* Pro Russian shrill use the vagueness of the accounting to accuse Ukraine of systematic corruption. The $182 billion in aid for example might include say $30 billion for Bradleys but written off or given a notional value of $1 billion. Zelenski clearly cannot know all this. Shrills will then say "$29 billion is uncounted for" in headlines.

Trump is talking about $350 billion which might be off the shelf prices for "replacement as new".

USA has become seriously unreliable. This will cost them big time in the future and even now.

Russia is already massively sanctioned. He wants to use sanctions on Russia to force them to stop their brutal attacks. LNG from America replaced Russian pipeline gas and is a lot more expensive for Europe.

Germany in particular have been very timid with Trump over the Nordstream explosion which was a US job in my opinion. US are making the eal good money out of the Ukraine war.

Growth is normally considered the best way out debt not a forced recession.

Swansea are a nice club. Cotterill could replace Fulton as a squad player reducing wages.

Swansea were brutal with Asoro. Copper told him. " You are not in my plans for this season". He was gone shortly after.

If the club is serious about cutting costs ageing squad players must be replaced. McLoughlin Allen Naughton Christie Fulton Ollie Cooper . Swansea sent Abdullai on his way but not Fulton.If he is not playing he will serve his contract out on loan..

USA deficits are huge. Tarrifs go from the consumer to the government to help balance the books in Dollars. Most of their credits want Dollars. Of more significance are interest rates on loans. In a recession interest rates come down.

The fall in oil prices with companies fear a recession could push Russia into dire straights which is a useful unintended positive consequence.
