  1. There have now been six first ministers of Wales, alun michael, rhodri morgan, carwyn jones, mark drakeford, and Vaughan Gething, and all were Labour, i wonder who the next shall be, obviously Labour, i am not sure if the next after that will be labour, plaid or conservative, as it will be a mid term of stamer election, i predict labour will win, but maybe plaid or the tories could sneak a win, so maybe the eighth first minister shall not be labour, or maybe they shall. 2026 is the date of the next Welsh election.

  4. ​@strangemagic5502 but on that basis, nobody is any nationality, as everyone has ancestors, from all over the place, as everybody mixed, in reality whether you like it or not, and in gods eyes, we are all citizens of the world,

  5. ​​we have more in common than divides is, we are one human race, you may not like it, but thats just the way it is, and whatever national divides are dreamt up by accidents of history, whatever hatreds are spouted by zealots and extremists, we are one human race, sorry it may sound like a platitude, but like most platitudes, its simply true. End of 😊🎉

  6. ​​​ Kellbell-z6i well even in your view, gething is the grandson of generations of Welshmen Welsh women. So you are abusing his Welsh ancestors by denying his Welsh heritage. Wales actually likes accepting people into it's nationality, I mean actually if a JFK had a Welsh grandpa, most true Welsh nationalists would shout that from the roof tops, like some do about how abraham lincoln, despite him being mostly English in ancestor, had some welsh links, wales does the same for the tudors, hubert humphrey, and even the much derided hilary clinton, the basques do this as well.

  7. I think most people were worried, and Russia should not have invaded Ukraine, then it could have protected its allies in Armenia, and Syria, look what is happening now as it is focused on annexing places who don't want to be Russian. Russia should pause its attacks, or stop them, so it can protect their allies from genocide. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a disaster for Europe, and Russia, as big a mistake as the Iraq War. Though to be honest the bombings by Russia in Syria were terrible, so it would have been better if they had not done that. The whole situation is terrible. Lots of stupid people made a lot of stupid choices.

  8. Hopefully Russia will stop fighting in Ukraine, and firm a deal with Western powers to stop the genocide in Syria.

  14. ​​​​ @andrewjones-productions yes, his father is Welsh, and Vaughan is Welsh name, he has also lived in Wales most of his life, if we barred people from office, as some of their ancestors were born from outside Wales, I think there would be few people who could be politicians in Wales and certainly eastern Wales, I think it's ok to condemn him for his policies, but people being racist about him, is awful, and i dont think most people in Wales or the uk, would support that kind of racism. The amount of aggressive hateful vitriol about his ethnicity on this comment page is shocking, and very unrepresentative of most people. I have never met anybody who holds the racist beliefs shared by so many hateful people on this comment page. And certainly no one. Also I better say ps I won't read any replies, as people as hateful as what you are seeing here, are not somebody I choose to speak to, and my life is much better for it.
