  1. There is a moral case for cutting the UK subsidy to Wales to zero. This state of affairs is only possible because it is enabled. It would create a financial crisis and force discussion of reality…

  2. What will we be getting in return? Will the Ukraine be paying for this through long-term national debt? or is it all on us? (It's on us isn't it?)

  3. It’s worse: the constituency they are talking about has voted overwhelmingly Labour for the last century without interruption.

  4. In Britain the Rich men are East of Richmond (or even in Richmond.) Our Richmond is in South West London. The rest of the song works as it is for us.

  5. “Sir” Richard isn’t a “sir”. He is a naughty boy. 😀

  6. 0:22 I knew there would be some advantage to being Welsh.

  7. Why do I not see these things in newspapers? Real newspapers? I mean apart from The Times because it hates covering Welsh news.

  8. It's only a question of how much lost opportunity, waste and damage can happen before this government finally runs out of road.

  10.  @saimbhat6243  I don’t think he is a good interview host. He does easy, obvious, superficial things to generate controversy. That is all he does and we would be better off with less of it.

  11. Has to be that lunatic, Hamilton.

  12. C’mon man!

  13. He's not "Gooto" - it's "GIT-oh" as in "git".

  14. The English need to go back to calling Welsh what it was a few centuries ago: “the British language”.

  17.  @MegaSpideyman  still is horrible and authoritarian

  18. The object of cycling is to defeat London Transport unions and deny revenue to Khan…

  19. He’s not the Dark Lord - he is merely the Programme Manager of Darkness overseeing Hell’s Big Evil Programme on Earth.

  20. 2:05 "Do you have any of those people in Wales...." In 1839 we invented them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Riots I wish they'd mentioned this - because Welsh history is British history - but it's completely invisible in England.

  21.  @LoneWolf-wp9dn  Yes our politics is absolutely f'ed. It has been a Labour monopoly for the last century.

  22. 0:35 "Chware Teg" It is Welsh. It means "Fair Play". Sargon "Who put CH and W together?" - hey, it's not English. It's the Welsh letter "CH" followed by the letter "W" - and yes, "W" is a vowel. Can't you read? ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welsh_orthography

  24. Mark Drakeford has made my country a “nation of sanctuary”. Nobody voted for this and there was no debate.

  25. Yes, Welsh people often have names that are difficult for Englosh people to pronounce. Yes we do.

  26. Please, please stop talking about PM - he does nothing except stirring up rows for money. He doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t do journalism. His opinion is carefully optimised to create a storm of publicity - and probably doesn’t care or believe half of what he says. Please stop feeding the beast.

  27. 19:55 Being Welsh isn’t just an ethnicity - it is a separate culture within Britain. The people are physically like the English but the culture - just like the language is much older and quite different.

  28.  @shrekt864  because we already have problems but they are being hidden. Better to actually see them so we can fix them. Hiding them makes it worse. If we wait until it can’t be hidden it won’t be fixable.

  29. More reasons to believe my country is fucked…
