so how much do you pay for carrier bags in england? oh thats right nothing.
i think we welsh do enough when it comes to money.

oh and this thread is about the floods in wales not how great supposidly england is.

old saying around here is.. if you aint got anything good to say..shut the fcuk up lol ;-)


So how much do you pay for prescriptions? Nothing. How much do you pay for university in Scotland? Nothing. What you make up in paying for carrier bags is nearly instantly mooted by your consumption of financial resources.


So you;'re mad about the Welsh taking money from the english. As Its affecting you so badly, why dont you stop paying taxes hmm?
Or alternatively, write to the home office and demand that the Welsh (and Scottish and Irish) stop being funded by the english.
Or as a further alternative, you could just leave the country?

Oh whats that? These suggestions are rediculous and nothing will ever come of it? Then apply the same logic to your comments. Nothing will come of them, you're welcome to your opinions of course, but they are as empty and shallow as the suggestions I made.
How about you stop complaining about the Welsh, Irish and Scots, and concentrate on the issue at hand mmmkay?

Oh I totally agree. In Monty Python style I give you, "What did the Welsh ever do for us?"

"Well, apart from...."

I'm really not interested in what you think of my comments, I'm going to keep pointing out the blatant biases that exist within this situation and you will just have to move on or accept them. I will not be silenced by anti English racists and fascists.


Dude, there is a time and a place to point out problems with devolution and the unfair hand dealt the English, but this thread is not it and, in actual fact, your attitude makes the English out to be pompous idiots.

I am a supporter of English devolution as well, but I wouldn't begrudge "English" tax money being used to help in an emergency, nor anything else for that matter (provided the other nationalists don't then bleet on about how evil the English are or how we stolen their oil............).. The problem is not with the Welsh or Scots, but the English not having the balls to have their own voice and demand the same things as are afforded to the devolved parliaments..

Anyway, this is a bad situation, but I did get some mild comic relief from a comment on the BBC article which said that "


Sorry but I respectfully disagree. When the mere mention of the idea that the welsh might have to ship some water to support us during the predicted drought, there was quite litteral outrage and disgust and scorn at this idea, now when the welsh are in a position, we are expected to come to the aid of them on white horses.

Bollocks to that.

So, if it was the other way round, you would deny the financial or physical assistance of Welsh people if you were in need?


they sure didn't turn down the help in WW2 when the place was about to be flooded with the queen's cousins, the germans...the welsh and scots prolly sent a few lads to help out then

just sayin


disasters require help
how could anyone deny help to those in need?

to turn a cold shoulder in times of trouble, is to get one in times of trouble.
