Stop with the begging bowl 'help us Westminster' nonsense. Let's stand on our on two feet within a strong UK.
The Assembly is here to stay, so real people like us need to make sure it works for the people of Wales. Westminster has never worked for Wales, no one can reject that.
(May I also remind you that the AM's vehemently rejected a pay rise, unlike their Westminster counter parts. They also don't drive to Brussels, racking up taxpayer money like UKIP's Nathan Gill).

No wonder voters are getting angered. They then have the cheek then to cut local services.

Also, only voted for by 25% of the population, who either hate England or foolishly believe Wales can go it alone.

Whether you like it or not is neither here nor there. It is here to stay and is going to increase in power. Even Farage agrees with that (See Sunday politics interview from a fortnight ago).
The days of Westminster rule have gone (mainly because they have decided so!). As said previously, the English see us as a drain on their resources. Therefore, we need to start maturing as a country.
The people who say that AM's are second rate are also the people who say that MP's are aloof and out of touch. I would prefer to be represented by someone like me, from a similar background to me. The fact they are normal people shows that democracy is working. Is that second rate?
Do you really prefer Chris Bryant (Rhondda boy ) and Kinnocks son who swan down from Oxford like mercenaries, so they can sit in Westminster thinking they are important. Leighton Andrews is a bellend, but I guarantee you he does more work for his community than Mr Bryant.
Also, the notion that those who voted for the Assembly hate English people is daft and unfounded. I know a fair few English people who voted for the Assembly, do they hate themselves? Perhaps you need to widen your circle mate.
Ditch the anger and replace it with something constructive. As a nation, we need to make this work.
