It's 3 million for starters but I imagine a million people would pack up and leave for England if we did become independent. You put forward and excellent idea but then ignore the fact that in many parts of Wales having a job is seen as being against the norm, we breed lazy bastards who just want to sit on their arse all day complaining Thatcher stole their jobs.

The nazis in this country have no idea about facts though, they seem to think having whole communities scrounging of the UK government, more people working in the Public sector than out of it and having a bunch of second rate "Politicians" in charge of us is a ripe moment for independence. We don't have nearly enough tax payers to fund it all.

Our young people will leave because our universities will be ran into the ground or their simply won't be enough jobs for them. Out old people will perish in the cold as the gas bills will rocket. The inbred gogs who will vote for this will demand North Wales become independant as their hatred and inferiority complex towards England will transfer to the South. Wales isn't any different to Yorkshire or Somerset.

SNP increase in votes was due to Labour losing a lot if it's voters.

So, no they didn't vote for SNP to win independence and the polls back that up.

As Boris has said, it is not "Scrounging" we are all one country. You could say that shitholes with high unemployment and an abundance of dole bums are "Scrounging" off the rest of the country.

We currently have more money going out than we do coming in from the taxpayer and the shortfall is made up by English/Scottish taxpayers. Tell me, how will we make up this shortfall if we left the Union? Go on, give me your best idea?

England could never compete with us on a corporate tax basis because they have too much to pay for. That's why a separate Wales would be golden.

But, as 48 points out, you couldn't run the scheme with the current crop of fools in government, that's for sure. And the amateurs at Plaid Cymru are the least well equipped for anything but junkets and freebies.

Don't like the truth?

Nukes has more or less summed up the feelings of the working class in the UK. We work, well I don't cos I fucked off, got on me bike when reasonable politicians gave the hint.

I love it when small minded one dimensional left wing thinkers come on this board. Nazi, left wing scum, National Socialist, yeh great, have yer Wales and shove it. The reasonable thinkers and workers have a more relaxed right wing attitude to life, we don't fight systems, people in boxes, fellow humans branded just because the may not have the same ideas. Equating nazi's and right wing is frankley quite shocking, left wing abhorrent scum, murdered a few million right wing type folk.

Uncle Joe, put his left wing nemisis to shame, 27 million!

Sorry mate but thats just plain naive-no reduction in corporate tax would persuade companies to set up here and employ us when they can move to asia and pay a bowl of rice a month as wages(exaggerated I know but you get my drift).

Re: Wales independence?

Thu Oct 18, 2012 8:47 am

I think independence from Scotland is a good idea. Just to remind you independence from Great Britain not England but then if Scotland goes independent I'm sure our countries full title would change. South Britain and Northern Ireland I imagine. The future of England could be likely to split into regions anyway with regional assemblies. The North of England is way different to the South East as is the midlands and the South West. Then theres the little corner called Cornwall which claims to have as much right as Wales to be independent. So the evolution of Wales, will it continue? 1535-42 Wales created as a constitutional country, 1959 Wales gets a flag, 1971 Wales gets an official language recognised, 1998 Wales gets assembley.....So is full independence from the rest of Britain likley maybe.

But

I hope not as like the majority of Wales I have both Welsh and English blood in my veins, heck I even have Irish through Great Grand parents. I like it we can have banter the one minute then like the Olympics united the next. I actually like being British saves the confusion of being Welsh or English or half of each.

That doesn't make sense.

We have a tax shortfall and can afford to cut tax, but England can't?

England wouldn't have to cover our costs.

England are also pouring millions into a fast link rail.

What about our outdated rail links and airports.

You have to build them first before you can even think of inward investment coming in.

Re: Wales independence?

But you are spot on about Plaid.

Plaid would kill Wales.

High tax Plaid would kill any inward investment coming into Wales.

Re: Wales independence?

Thu Oct 18, 2012 10:28 am

We don't need it and the majority would still vote against it in Wales.

Better off staying as the UK and I think the Scots will vote to stay British too.

Does this mean Welsh people will start to go to work again?
Or will they continue to moan about Margaret Thatcher taking their jobs while the fat lazy bastards slump infront of the tele eating pizza/other takeaways (too lazy and thick to cook their own food)?

Where will the money come from to fund these scroungers?
We produce nothing apart from benefit scroungers and public service (non-productive jobs).
If you do not believe me take a walk around a Welsh town today and then reply to me.

I am born and bred in Wales, run my own business and have to listen to their bulls**t lies (my back is bad - yes, because your a fat w****r, that is why you have a bad back).

Thay say it is not their fault, but they have made themselves unemployabe by being fat. Laziness is not an illness, it is a state of mind.
I spoke to one this morning. Cannot work due to a bad back, but decorating the house. f****ing unbelievable.

Who will pay for our army? Or do you suggest we rely on the bravery of the French, Italians and Spanish for safety? God help us?
What about all our service personel who will suddenly be out of work, as I am sure we have a very high percentage of serving regular and reserve forces?

Who is going to run our country? Carwyn the caring? He couldn't run a car boot sale, (like the rest of the incompetent, sound bite politicians in Cardiff Bay). What business expeience (or even qualifications) have any of the 60 got?

We would become a one party socialist state (and what a state we would be). Scotland will be bankrupt within 2 years of independence. They say they have all this oil revenue, but it is running out, then what? Can we come back into the UK please?

Remember they will have a socialist government who only know one thing .... tax and spend. So they will tax the oil revenue very highly making it non competitive. If I was the English I would support new oil rigs and exploration, then transport it to (for example, Newcastle) and get oil and gas revenues that way. Expensive I know, but if there is so much oil and gas there, then worth it.

Need I go on as it is just a stupid unintelligent, out of date idea. Christ who rattled my cage this morning?
Anyway, the reason I came on here, anyone know if the Sheff Weds game is on tele? (Sunday 2nd DEc 1 pm kick off.


Agree.

Should never happen.

We would see the boarders flooded with people leaving to england.

We wouldnt have an armed forces. We would have to do what countries such as iceland and greenland do, and basically ask another country to supply there troops for us.

I for one wouldnt leave the RAF and join a Welsh forces.

We couldnt raise taxes to support our economy as who in the area has money to support a raised tax rate?

We would be the laughing stock of the world. We are already the laughing stock of the UK with residents who want to go it alone! How do we let these people even vote!

We need every penny we get from London and couldnt live without them! I for one would never step foot in wales if somehow it went alone!

The irony is that if Wales ever does go it alone Plaid would be completely obsolete and continue to be a bunch of nutjobs banging on about the "Iaith". The Welsh labour party will dominate our politics here, no other party will come close. No one will vote Plaid because they are a bunch of dangerous, mindless neanderthals.

Also to the feckless gogs out there who will drive any vote for independence, how long is it before you want to break away from the South due to lack of funds because by f**k if you think your being hard done by now wait until we do go independent because the Welsh Assembley government will invest everything into the M4 corridor.

Re: Wales independence?

Thu Oct 18, 2012 9:38 pm

We should be looking into renewable energy forms and investing in those areas with the money we do have to make us a worthwhile place to invest. With initial investment there is attraction to make a return. More debt is the only answer in the short term and if that happened a lot of people calling for independence would be the first bunch screaming blue murder when they had to make sacrifices. Problem with today's society is people want something for nothing and they are no different.

The country has almost everything it needs to be a great independent nation. The only problem it has is the most important one and that is jobs.

How will it attract businesses?
How will it get more people employed?
How will it change the attitudes that people have towards employment?

The only way the above can be solved or dealt with is more initial debt and sacrifices. We would probably need a mass amount of loans to even get going. Then if that fails we're in a bigger mess than when we started.

One Wales for how long?

How long is it before you want to seperate. My point is we are not a united Wales, the cracks are there. I haven't even mentioned the vastly English rural mid wales.

Judging by the poll you lot have taken a pasting, we will never be an independent nation unless England get independence from us. As far as I can see they have a lot more to gain from cutting us loose than we do from them. I am still in the Wales I grew up in, the nationalists are still backward neanderthals they always have been devoid of facts and reasoning for their crackpot ideas.
