Mathew(5) I wasn't going to even bother to reply but why not!
The reason I apologised for the Welsh was I only realised that the photo I had taken caught the Welsh translation on the display board! It would probably make more sense to most if I had of used the English version, since last time I checked every post on here is in English, I would do the same again if I posted a link to a planning application in Welsh by mistake. Don't think of it as a slur, grow up.
I am not anti Welsh, just the way it is currently being run, which I believe you are in agreement with me on that one, however unlike you I blame the way devolution was set up, it should have been realised that Wales is a one party state, perhaps we should have had a system like Northern Ireland where it's a permanent coalition . Hang on they can't frame legislation either!
Speaking of not being able to frame legislation, the way the Welsh Language act itself has been framed has been criticised as overly complicated and badly drafted, by the people who drafted it in the first place.
I see this over and over again, legislation drafted by amateur politicians, essentially to duplicate something that Westminster has already done. The Welsh Health service is full of it and the result we can't get doctors or specialists to come to Wales.
You say the Metro would only happen with devolution?? How on earth do large English conurbations manage without a First Minister, 40 Assembly members, civil service, fleet of cars? No wonder their GVA is way behind Wales
