He's a troll. He has no idea what he's talking about and doesn't care. Your response will no doubt have him pulling his little pudding.
This place would be better off without him and others like him. |
It astounds me how some on here who have no knowledge on a subject will debate and argue with someone who clearly knows what they are talking about. It's not trolling, its just idiots making themselves look even more stupid. |  | | |

It very much is trolling. You don't go around calling yourself "Controversial Jack" without the explicit intention of trying to wind people up.
We're not talking about common or garden stupid people like plenty we could all mention. This is a different type entirely. | |

Looks like things are falling apart for the SNP.
After Sturgeon resigned after her disastrous gender recognition Bill fail to get UK approval.
Their latest leader seems very unpopular.
Their recent U-turn on their zero carbon policies has upset their Green coalition partners.
At the beginning of April support for independence fell to 47% after reaching 49% in 2022.
The Scottish health and education sectors continue to get worse. Live expectancy in Scotland continues to fall.
Deaths caused by alcohol are 54% higher than rest of the UK.
Deaths caused by drug abuse are 3 tines higher in Scotland than the rest of the UK
Now the SNP's former chief executive, aka Mr Sturgeon has been charged with embezzlement of funds from the SNP. | |

Humza Yousaf has seen his poouarity plummet to -32, support for inependence has dropped and the Daily record has been scathing about the SNP.
It's predicted that at the next election Labour could take 20 seats back from the SNP.
It's falling apart up there. | | | |

Sending £155 million back to the UK government because they didn't spend it, backtracking on the 20 mph.
Nhs waiting lists at an all time high, can't afford to pay Junior Doctors but can waste millions planting trees.
We are a backward Country reversing at a rate of knots, so you don't think they are in a mess? | |

We had no right to keep that money, it was from another budget.You think this is worse than the lot in Westminster? There's no backtrack on the speed limit at all.I agree about the trees though. I think the UK as a whole is backward, not just Wales | | | |

In terms of the money, there should have been better oversight of the budget and if they couldn’t have secured an undertaking that the money couldn’t be transferred from one budget to another they should have made sure it was spent, but it’s a ridiculous situation that when a budget is underspent the money needs to be returned. Budget holders should be encouraged to be prudent and when money is left over they should be able to carry it forward towards the following years objectives, or spend it on a major piece of work that will deliver benefits to the country, for example towards a new building, road, or equipping an operating theatre etc, etc. | | | |

That's not how it works though is it? Money that';s not spent has to be returned it can't just be moved to another.
Yes, it was a mistake, maybe incompetence. but nothing compared the the incompetence of Westminster.Liz Truss budget for example cost the country more than the entire budget for Wales, not to mention the fake PPE and track and testing.
The Welsh govt isn't perfect, but compared to the alternative in Westminster they compare more than favorably imo | | | |

I know budgets don’t work like that, I’m just pointing out the stupid way in which the current government (and previous incarnations of all governments) local authorities and other public organisations work.
30 years ago I worked in a public organisation that was well run and very efficient, but come the year end if they had any spare cash in a budget they had to use it, if it wasn’t spent it would have to be returned, in addition a similar amount would be removed from the following years budget as the accountants would take the view the money wasn’t needed which was mental.
I wouldn’t argue with with your last paragraph, I think the WG is less of a mess than the Westminster government who can’t even agree amongst themselves on much. | | | |

I'm not sure that CJ is right about all public sector budgets. Transfer between budget headings (virement) is not unknown as long as overseeing and spending departments agree. When we still had NHS contracts between purchasing Welsh health boards and hospital providers, virement or trading off underperformance in one specialty against over-performance in another was very common. It doesn't seem impossible that a deal could have been done at Westminster/WG level. | | | |

They had every right to that money up until the point they failed to spend it, that was the stupidity of it, claiming we are hard done by then handing 155 million back.
This isn't about Westminster, the comment about Welsh labour is spot on which is why Ken Skates HAS backtracked which will cost even more money. If they had planned the change and implemented it prperly we wouldn't be here now, with even ore millions wasted.
We don't need whataboutery, we know what Westminster is. | | | |

We don't need to compare the Senedd to anybody to know they are crap. The poorly thought out and implemented policies, the running down of the Welsh NHS, the schools, the economy, the money wasted...yes the trees too.
We don't compare Westminster with anyone when we call them crap, why should we treat the Senedd any differently. | | | |
