    Embarrassingly, a lot of my countrymen seem to like him. Its just embarrassing to be honest.
    You get people on facebook/twitter saying we should "close the border". Jeez - some people do work across the border.

    And best one yet "send in the army to stop English coming to wales". What army exactly? The welsh one....

    Now I'm a proud welshman but I'd leave if wales ever got independence..... It'd be a shambles...
    Keep singing lads! There's tidy now! We'll have those English bastards on the run!

    Why 17 days? Well they got the Sage minutes and added on the missing time.

There is a Welsh Gov policy that forbids compulsory redundancies so when they want to lay anyone off they have to keep increasing the redundancy offers to ridiculous amounts as the unions know they have the upper hand.
    Could paint a 3 legged donkey red and they'd vote for it in the valleys.....

    I'd agree. I'm contracting in the public sector in wales. Its like a country club - they've NEVER had redundancies there ever....

    Got to be fair trekking to the jobcentre and wading past all the losers outside was the worst bit. Then, some times they'd be 30 mins behind and you'd have to wait. Another day, you'd be 2 mins late and get a lecture off them.

    Because haters and gonna hate and will undoubtedly complain about the solution whatever the gov announce. To deflect this they've thrown the moaners a bone so they can have a whinge about 17 days rather than any of the important facts. Pretty smart if you ask me.
