All going to end up millionaires? That's a nonsense remark, some of them will, some will get nowhere near that. Now these dressage horses of your wife's...how many and how much did they cost because you sound very well off for a class warrior. Are you actually a champagne socialist? Maybe you should sell these horses and share the wealth. |

Another uncomfortable truth is having a lot of money to spend doesn't guarantee you anything. |

Well for myself and my son anyway. We're off to Exeter tomorrow, anyone else going? Today Boro tickets went on sale, we have ours, the hotel is booked, Boro here we come. I've never been there. Who else is going up? The positivity we have been feeling has really energised my son, he wants to go to far more away games thatn I fancy. |

Isn't that ignoring that when small businesses become very succesful, big business often comes and buys them out. it's the private equity funds way of making sure money goes to money. Vets are the best example, most are now part of chains, they have been buying out the independent vets for years and most are now owned by 5 or 6 groups and prices have skyrocketed. Ot's npot envy to believe that the super rich should carry more of the costs especially when they run the corporations that are responsible for so much pollution, destruction of habitat AND higher prices. |

Well on the other hand, we did lose of lot of manufacturing when we were in the EU, compnaies moved to Europe because it was cheaper and the Eu made it easy. Some of it was the British government trying to ensure we'd never leave. Turns out then, it's not a disaster, there have been some benefits like the trade deals that have been slow coming but are now building up and with new people in Westminster and the Eu hotseat who are being more pragmatic and trying to sort out a deal better for both sides, it's starting to look much better. A massive proportion of the UK's troubles have been caused internaly by pure greed and self serving stupidity. |

Not so much a wealth tax then as a property tax but would there be a lower limit beneath which you didn't have to oay? Becaise we already pay a tax based on the value of our priperty so we'd be taxed twice for the same thing. My idea was an increase on VAT on the so called premium items, cars over 75k for example. Anything that is high end gear, put an extra 5% VAT on it. Increase corporation tax by 2%. Simply taxing the wealthy will just see them moving their assets abroad. |

Agreeing with a certain point of view doesn't make you a follower. If I disagree with you it doesn't mean I follow another. Calling others followers is often meant as an insult and can be passive aggresive bullying, trying to insult people who don't agree with you. The Troubles in Northern Ireland, began with a civil rights movement advocating for equality for the Catholic minority, but escalated into violence due to sectarian tensions and political disagreements. It'd not at all accurate to say the Loyalists started it, it's far more complicated. PS, taking the side of a terrorist organisation over your country's government, that would have been considered treason. [Post edited 24 Jul 16:54]

The point would be that she paid taxes all her life to fund th things you listed, she didn't get them for nothing. We work and pay our taxes to get those services and health and social care are part of that, Saying that, back in the day we didn't palm our old relatives off on others. When I was 16 a great Aunt who had dementia came to live with us and we looked after her until her death. In a civilised society surely we look after our elderly, we don't abandon them unless they have medical needs we absolutely cannot deal with? |

There may have been a few who fought for Russia but generally speaking the fought against them AND the Russian controlled puppet goverment. The Taliban can be traced to the Madrasas of Pakistan and took the country by force, they were not wanted which was why the people fought against them History shows us though, no foreign power has ever won in Afghanistan, the Taliban wouldn't win an open battle but as guerrilas they seem undefeatable. Now the last bit, where have I ever said I would fight against my country? If my country was taken over by a dictatorship I would fight against that to free my country and return it to democracy.. It's just you being a keyboard warrior tho, isn't it |

Oh yeah, nobody ever complains about Westminster! What a preposterous thing to say. Besides, Wales provides about 16% of UK offshore electricity, around 7.9TwH compared to the Uk as a whole of 49twH which is about 17% of the total electricity used in the UK. |

There's hardly a country in the world without blood on its hands, we're no different. Why is it, whatever you post, you always place the most blame on Israel. It's not like Hamas have ever been the good guys, It is possble for both sides to be wrong. Israel now though, what we are seeing is them following through on things that were said, Netanyahu has ordered a genocide. Killing children at aid stations looking for water is beyond redemption. Assuming he is a good Jew (follows the teachings loyally) thenhow can a god they say is benevolent and kind allow thtis to happen. Ot's as if that god doesn't exist...whatever happened to the popcorn emoji? |

Oh I see. Maybe they should have risked their kives for nothing. maybe they should have let their wives and chikdren starve while they did so? It's not as if the Taloban would be malicious about it and hunt them and their families down...oh wait. Do you work for nothing? Do you work? If you had joined the British armed forces would you have served the country for nothing? I think I know the answer to the last one. |

They're not all bogus though. The faukt lies in useless governments that underfunded the system and so created the backlog that has caused the current and historical problems. It goes baclk beyond the tories too. These people who come here with "bogus" claims, they think the UK is a pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. We have to change that, tell them the truth. |

This is where using your freedom of speech comes in. O have personally communicated with Rhun Ap Iorwerth and told him that while I intend to vot for him, as far as I'm concerned independence is a bad idea and I would vote against it. I gave a few reasons why. He responded, acknowledged my opinions and maybe that's what people need to do. Thing is, people are calling Plaid a bit loony but from what I have seen and read Reform are by far the loopiest choice. I can tell you that ap Iorwerth agreed that South East Wales gets too much funding and there is a desperate need to invest in the rest of Wales. |

There's a few on here who think nationalisation doesn't work but the way price goiging is going on, we are all being ripped off. Having to sell a house to oay your bills is bad enough, childrens homes, vets fees, the ordianry people are being ripped off yet again by the rich and powerful. I'm no communist (or am I?) but how long do we let this go on while the politicians have caused the situation and do nothing to remedy it. |
