@dikkydoo1

The man is speaking up for the best interests of Wales

I'm sorry but that just doesn't make him a " wanker " .

When I see this kind of reaction it shows me that it's high time

England had a similar politician standing up for the best interests

of English people . It's about time England raged against the machine

that everyone in the UK is now disgusted with .

If you ask me how i think the English electorate are , in one word

i would say disillusioned . It's high time England !

@Skurataw

what you said was slightly demeaning to the Scots and the welsh .

What's so great about England then ? I think you need to look a bit more

closely at which country is " glorified " . Unlike you I believe Scotland

can stand tall and proud among all the other member states

in our European union .

@roflcopter2006 actually english taxpayers don't pay for scots to go for free- scottish citizens pay an additonal tax to their assembly. What has scotland got to do with wales though?

@adamjones416 Isn't that sort of strange? Also seems impossible with the amount of data governments gather.

[adamjones416]

@roflcopter2006 But thats the point it isnt an united kingdom and thats why England, Wales and Scotland should all be Independent thank you for backing my point exactly. But English people seem to assuem that they are in control of the UK and pay for everything which is bollocks, why should welsh taxpayers money go to the Olympics in London and nuclear Wars in Iraq? No thank you Independence for all Uk nations then we can make our own mistakes in our own countries

[roflcopter2006]

@adamjones416 Well if this is one United Kingdom why do Wales and Scotland need their own assemblies. Either you let everyone go to university on the British taxpayers dime, or nobody. What makes Scots so special?

Im used to the notion of the English being called bigots any time they express their concerns over the unfairness of the systems. I think you missed the point of my argument which was that they they need to be careful what they wish for because they might just get it.

@dikkydoo1 Give alot more toss about Wales and the benifites of Welsh peopel than any london anglo centric based party does!.

[adamjones416]

@Skurataw Wales is more of a nation than England, unifyed iun 12th century which is more than England was you were Wessex Mercia etc. Is England a meer county? You don't even have your own parliament!.

[adamjones416]

@roflcopter2006 English tax payers arent what bollocks, its british taxpayers, england arent paying no more than Welsh, Scottish or Irish, there may be more in England therefore you require more of the funding, but all the money goes to the treasury which doesnt belong to England believe it or not, English bigots.

[adamjones416]

@anon2999 Nope no figures are kept at all therefore no statistics could ever back that up

[anon2999]

@Skurataw Don't Wales, Scotland and NI get a lot more funding from the UK government than they pay in via taxes?

[roflcopter2006]

@Skurataw Im all for their independence personally. Why should English Taxpayers pay for Scottish kids to go to University for free when English kids have to pay.
