@MrsLund1 Walesonline have confused low risk with low air quality. All of Wales is green at the moment.

DOGE Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💰
Senedd members could’ve funded flood defences. Instead, they spent £55 million making Wales a Nation of Sanctuary for asylum seekers.

@SeneddWaste See also the ridiculous amount of money spent on the 20 mph limit. That capital funding could have gone towards flood defences.

@ABridgen Plain confusion from the Reuter’s feed, clarified decades ago. There was a great deal of confusion on that day. “We’re getting reports that the Salomon building has collapsed” and “might collapse” is not a stretch. It was cordoned off regardless.

The BBC’s finest hour ? Reporting on the collapse of building 7 , 20 minutes before it actually did on 9/11 . The BBC must have been psychic or in on the plan and the con ? You decide which and tell me@in the comments please

@Jenny_1884 If you alter what is paid then the system would have to change to afford it. Pension would be less and / or paid later. I’d prefer mine larger and sooner rather than someone else get it when I die.

@EPriceJourno To be fair, despite the fact that she struggles with maths, statistics and critical thinking, she has managed to get 25 people onto the Senedd steps to protest this award-winning, life-saving, economy-boosting legislation.

@JohnDicey01 @rorysutherland That's trying to shoehorn the word "addiction" into a place it doesn't belong. We get used to having nicotine in our system and it feels odd when we stop using it. Genuine addictions can't be cured by just deciding to quit. See also caffeine.

You’re half right Johnny. Although nicotine addiction is real…the truth is that its physical hold over addicts is incredibly weak…making getting free from the addiction easy. You just have to know how to go about it. Going about it in the wrong way - as if it’s a huge battle against withdrawal using willpower - is where most people go wrong.

Why can't you vape on planes? If you can use an emotional support animal, why not an emotional support drug? Who do you want in the next seat? Someone who enjoys the calmative effects of nicotine, or someone so overwrought they can't leave the house without a fucking tortoise?

@JohnDicey01 @rorysutherland Nicotine addiction is a myth. Any addiction that can be cured by going to bed and having a nice long sleep is no addiction at all. See also chocolate, fruit machines, gambling etc.

How can someone so breathtakingly intelligent, bright, and wise be so blindly in the thrall of a drug that offers absolutely nothing in return for a lifelong addiction. Of course you “think” it has calmative effects…you’re a nicotine addict! I was the same (without the intelligence, brightness, & wisdom) as an 80 a day chainsmoker. I thought I’d be lost without the drug. It’s easy to get free from nicotine - when you know how…and once you understand how the drug cons you into believing in its qualities - you don’t miss it at all.

@GordonFbpe @realjessica Despite the simplicity of Google it’s staggering how many people on social media don’t understand the basics of the asylum process. I’m sure they’d be far less stressed if they spent the time that they spent ignorantly ranting on social media on Google, doing a little research.

English mother accurately describes the UK currently. "I've worked all my life. I don't want my money... being put on illegal immigrants. They are illegal. They're not genuine refugees. This country is in massive debt. They're being put before British people. They're getting free health, free dentists, free everything." "We're not putting British people first. I am really concerned as a mother... they don't respect our British values, they are a threat, most are Muslims, they think we are infidels, they will not adapt to our religion, it's not about integration, they have their own communities and I just don't feel safe."

@jenkszy @SeneddWaste No, they don’t. I’ve spent my entire career improving the economy through infrastructure. If we can find a spare £2bn there are far better things to spend it on than the M4.

@johnnyplectrum @SeneddWaste All the roads you list have good alternate routes. The alternative to the M4 is to use the SDR which is absolutely horrendous too. People like you against improving economy through infrastructure but fine with cycle lanes being built to reach “net zero” targets 🤡

@johnnyplectrum @SeneddWaste Delusional. Every single day the m4 is at a standstill past Newport. Great for the economy

A Welsh council spending nearly £200,000 on project managers for a pond. You couldn’t make it up. This is how taxpayers’ money disappears, one “consultant” at a time. walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-new…

They don't know what's in store. They imagine themselves welcoming a handful of grateful immigrants. Instead whole communities will be overwhelmed the newcomers far from being grateful will complain Wales is too white and will commit crimes against the native citizens. This is what's happening in Ireland.

@RichardGage_911 Because WTC7 was poorly designed unfortunately and susceptible to disproportionate collapse.

[RG911Team] This skyscraper in China did not collapse despite fires on almost every floor. So why did WTC7 suddenly collapse at free fall on 9/11 when it had fires on only a few floors?
