Metro

Sadly, I think we may have gone beyond sarcasm on this one.

OMG, I've been a fool about my voting intentions regarding the EU referendum. I should have opened my eyes more when I was in Germany last month and seen that it was actually experiencing catastrophic financial ruin.

I'm so glad that I managed to read the REAL TRUTH in this Express article (and associated reader comments) from a few months back before I put an X on the ballot paper.

Thank God it's not too late to act before we go down with this undemocratic and unelected NWO ticking economic time bomb.

Let's TAKE BACK CONTROL people.

I too am so grateful for this being pointed out to me, I don't know how I would have lived with myself If I'd found out about it after the referendum. It's clear to me now and I can't thank the Express enough for bringing me from the darkness into the light, I feel born again as if a giant burden has been lifted and it will be impossible for me to ever repay you.

Sorry guys but it's this kind of attitude that could lose the referendum. I'm usually the last person to agree with the Francophobia of the press but the strikes there at the moment are a serious business. The President is a complete lame duck. Wizard - no-one is suggesting there is chaos in Germany, the trouble is that the Germans have a tin ear to what's happening elsewhere. The EU is morphing into a German Empire which won't prove sustainable. There is a political uprising across the western world going on of which our referendum is a small and comparatively tame part (whatever the consequences might be).

Now I'm coming to terms with the emergency budget, house price collapse and 3rd world war! but now the metro is a stake if we vote to leave...

This forum will have to be closed as will most of the UK internet connections if we vote to leave.

I read somewhere it is due to the Systematic Hierarchical Integrated Terminal Emulator in EU offices in Strasbourg and Brussels.

It does really matter anyhow as you won't have any electricity either, the 2GigaWatts of Electricity the lovely French supply to us for free will be also switched off an Economic Expert has said.

The thing is that if we leave the EU the current funding model for the Metro won't be available.

Now it is entirely possible that the UK government might decide to provide the funding from the savings achieved by pulling out of the EU. It's equally possible that they might choose to spend that money on HS2, garden bridges and tax cuts. Wales would be swapping a guaranteed income stream for the vague promises of Johnson, Farage & co.

While there are an awful lot of stupid scare stories being put about by both campaigns I don't think this is one of them.

Yes, the EU will save the South Wales Metro!

This is the same EU that has caused a 5 year 50mph restriction on the Brynglass tunnels as its classified as a trans European strategic route. If they do any work on it, it must come up to modern tunnel standard. Trouble is, this will cost a fortune, where are the EU when it comes to providing this money. No Where. But they will fine the WAG if they lift the temporary restrictions.

This is why these tunnels will be closed every night on and off until 2018. Great for economic development in Wales, at least they did no coincide it with the Severn Tunnel closures, oh hang on

Do you have evidence of such a speed restriction?

You obviously don't drive!!

The "temporary" 50mph speed restriction which has been on the west bound bore 24/7 since July 2011
I put in a FOI to ask why about 3 years ago?
