Do we know yet which seats are likely to be dropped?

Welsh covid patients to be sent to English hospitals to help ease the burden on the Welsh NHS. nice to see the UK working together instead of infighting.

It would most certainly be at a higher rate than England/current UK. Hence how small business pays a higher interest rate on smaller loans than large conglomerates do on bonds worth millions. That’s nothing against the cause for Independence, but England/current UK would have better ability to...

There are strict criteria for the Euro now which I don’t think Wales would meet. A welsh pound would be more likely, completely pointless leaving the pound and joining the euro as nothing would be gained despite Welsh Nationalists desires to delete any association with England. Wales would have...

There would have to be some sort of deal with England. The Welsh nationalists down in Carmarthen may want to Wales into an economic waste land but us in the east most certainly don’t.

Wales will always be a poor coubtd Wouldn’t that involve two separate referendums though? I think that would be way too much change for people to handle in one go. Maybe over a period of 10 years yeah. Although wales will still have to have some sort of union with england to ensure things...

I completely agree about the APD issues, i have consistently said about the issues and failings of the Union. It’s all well and good for New Zealand being a 3 hour flight from the next major country but Wales major trading partner is right next store. The Welsh economy is so dependent on...

To be fair, if you include st athan now it is done in some of those ways (flight school, aston martin, Cardiff Av, Ecube, SWAM museum, BAMC)

Not the same without Qatar or Flybe, i bet KLM’s passenger numbers will be down too.

I have no problem with Welsh democracy, I just don’t like the party who’s currently running the devolved administration as it’s a joke. Welsh Indy’s seem determined to get independence, regardless of the cost (same arguments apply for leaving the EU and we know what disaster that’s going to be)...

They need to promote Wales better abroad and in the long term attract higher paid skilled occupations to the area, the latter has been in reversal in recent years with the closure of Fords and cancellation of Ineos. Working from Home will reduce business travels so prospects for CWL do not look...

The welsh government will have to take swift action to save CWL. I don’t see great prospects for the airport even after covid blows over. We’ll have an extremely fragile and weak economy in Wales too.

Not helped by the UK’s furlough mistake no doubt. Which Is shocking and gives the impression the government only cares about Southern England. Although 10,000 people is only slightly more than the population of Llantwit Major. I won’t be worrying about yes cymru and having to make the move to...

Heathrow would be ideal, it’s such a shame the area is so crowded and property so expensive. A BA chapee on facebook has said the Landor will not be going to Duxford.

I totally agree - there’s also plenty of 747 engineers past and present living in South Wales who i’m sure would be keen to help out. If the other 747 goes to duxford as rumoured, that will be another great place to display one.

A facebook group is reporting 747 G-BYGC (BOAC) is to be preserved at St Athan. Not confirmed officially but the same facebook page made the call that the Negus 747 was to be preserved at Kemble which turned out to be correct.

Hopefully not. I think the current administration is a terrible one. Carwyn Jones did much better and he was nothing special. Wales is predominantly a tory nation now, as proven at GE 2019. The South Wales valleys are the last stand.

Yeah, will be interesting to see the next round of polling. I think it will be on the rise but not enough support just yet. I am all for the union and UK government must and should accept the UK has four equal parts - much like the US accepts it has 50 equal parts now matter how big or small...

He’s got a point. The union needs fixing fast otherwise it’s over. However, despite what he says Wales has nowhere near the desire for independence compared to what Scotland does. He claims the prime minister never wants to contact him, but i’m sure he could pick up the phone and speak to him...

There would certainly be enough people in South wales who knew their way around a 747 to look after one.
