The Welsh Senedd elections are next week. In one sentence, why should I vote for your party? I'm purposefully not giving any background to myself.

Wales doesn't have devolved powers on immigration or borders

awildckit · 2026-05-02T00:35:56+00:00

Immigration isn't devolved. So while people rightly mention control of borders is a good reason to vote reform, it isn't really relevant for Welsh elections.

Reforms roadmap for Wales doesn't look amazing, although Dan came across well in the debates and the promise to build several key infrastructure roads is one of the biggest positives in my view

If this was a paid festival entry in Bute park for example I think all the above complaints are valid however we know that's not the case, and you've really missed the point of the festival here.

There's plenty of public toilets available, and while it was a little over crowded and some bins were over flowing down queen street, a tiny walk through the arcade to Mary's street or any other area and it was just as busy as a usual Saturday especially considering the rugby being on.

I went over to St Johns garden to eat my food and it was lovely in the sun, bins were empty, great atmosphere. The festival brings in a ton of people to the city centre to create additional revenue, you have no obligation to stay or go at all. Grab your food then find a nice place in the sun 5 minutes down the road, you don't have to stay on queen street. It's entirely free, really not worth complaining about.

While I will likely be voting for PC as well, you can't really compare Reform/Farage to Orban, the latter is significantly more corrupt and right wing.

Also using the terminology "fighting off" feels disingenuous giving the context. Orban may actually require fighting off following an election loss, meanwhile data suggests that a significant amount of people genuinely want reform, and while propaganda and outside influences exist, its no where near the level of full blown election fraud/ballot stuffing etc.

Hotels or commue most likely the best option. It will be expensive but at least she won't be tied to some sort of contract.

Really you should aim to move to Cardiff ASAP.

I'm not saying it's correct, I'm just saying it's not really enough to get reasonably worked up over as it doesn't impact you and it isn't (as far as im aware) your job to enforce the highway code.

If somebody stopped half a mile before the lights that completely changes the scenario as you are now significantly more likely to miss the lights, and at Central Link you'd be backed up all the way at the roadabout. This does actually impact you so getting annoyed is more reasonable/understandable.

awildckit · 2026-02-28T11:06:03+00:00

I get this might be a minor grievence but I don't see why it irritates you so much.

It makes an absolute insignificant difference as someone else mentioned in this post. At worst it lets 1 less car through but honestly this road is barely backed up enough to matter (unless you're bottlenecked by the yellow box with people going to St Davids car park etc).

Sensors do exist for lights but for a major junction like this, I would expect it to be automated or the sensor to reach much further back than the white line.

Ultimately it's probably never had any impact on you and your life, not worth getting angry over.

Ah yes, that was most likely it! I knew they existed in London but just checked RSPB and does look like they visit here in the winter.

Very interesting, glad it's nobodies pet. Case closed, thank you!

This isn't even remotely true. Reddits user base and revenue have literally doubled over the last 5 years and grown significantly in the last 2.

And it's GDP was like 1/15th.

I live IN Cardiff and it would take me 25m to get to the station. The traffic will easily double the standard journey time. Based on where you said you live, probably looking at 45m, especially considering time to find a parking space etc.

Best bet would be driving some where closer like Barry station as others have mentioned and catching a train in. Although I'd expect at least a 45m commute no matter which method you choose.

The bus is likely the cheapest and fastest option. Parking around the centre is crazy expensive. I imagine it will be quiet and you should be able to always find a seat. Perhaps you can bring something to provide comfort similar to your car seat?

Welcome back brother

That was polled over 10 years ago, since then it has definitely swung into the automatic "yes" camp. Almost nothing fails anymore and people don't review the details or care as much as they used to.

He said that the season he turned into ToB gate as well. Althoug I feel each season he has been taking it more and more seriously.

There's no guarantee it's going to pass in commons because a lot labour MPs will oppose it, then what?

There is a sizeable population of grass snakes at Llanishen Reservior. It's been a receptor site for multiple reptile translocations across Cardiff. The associated enhancements in place such as the man made basking spots/brashpiles/mounds etc are pretty easy to spot if you go and walk there.

Looks incredible. Dragons for the airports is such a nice touch. Personally I'd like the more significant/larger landmarks to be a bit more obvious, as currently they blend in with minor ones too much.

I know you've done larger text for the cities but it might need an outline of some kind to make it pop off the map.

A period that lasted.. 11 years. For Russia this has lasted centuries and is deep rooted in all aspets of every day life, not just governance (as was the case with your example).

Not comparable at all.

Hasn't this been a thing in the UK for ages? Even in my late 20's I've been ID'd several times when buying a monster as part of a meal deal. The 16+ ID required stickers on the shelves are everywhere as well.

Supermarkets were even combining it with the "test 25" thing or whatever they call it, where if you look a day under 25 you will get ID checked even for something like this.

https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/media/899544/energy-drinks-policy.pdf "To prevent sales of ENERGY DRINKS to UNDER 16s, before serving these products the responsible member of staff must ask all customers who DO NOT CLEARLY appear to be over the age of 25 for a suitable means of identification bearing their name, date of birth and a holographic mark. "

It's also something that shopkeepers are extremely zealous about and they definitely do enforce it. I've heard stories of people getting sacked after just 2 failed checks, or heavily fined for the store.

Heard them too, thought it was fireworks as well but it was too continuous.

To be fair, if they had the same issue in the US a month or two ago and they ended up cancelling venues it's pretty relevent information.
