I AM sick and tired of mainly our AMs, mainly, and other small-minded nationalists writing in this very paper about how lucky we are in Wales to have devolution and we should be pushing for more of it. I think taxation is next on the hit list.

Devolution is a scam thought up by the political classes to transfer huge amounts of tax-payers’ money from front-line services into their own pockets and the people of Wales fell for it hook, line and sinker.

On every area of governance they have taken on, we have become worse off and that’s a fact. It’s a bit like ditching your normal hairdresser for a more expensive one who does a terrible cut just because they have a Welsh accent. The whole thing is bonkers and is going to cost this country an absolute fortune.

We in Newport have representation in Westminster. That’s the job of Morden and Flynn. They’re both useless, but in all honesty, if we had jobs for life that we could not lose, however little we did, then would we go the extra mile? Be honest. That’s the fault of the people of Newport, not the system.

So, next time one of our AMs decides to write a spiel in the paper, can I ask that they list all the benefits of this huge, costly Assembly as I for one don’t get it.
