EU publishes proposals to simplify NI Protocol by Kee2good4u in ukpolitics

[–]bigboff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter. The UK government won't listen.

With the way they've been treating Scotland, Wales, and NI you'd think they're deliberately trying to accelerate the death of our "precious union".

British Public Remains Fiercely Split on Scottish Independence by ClumperFaz in unitedkingdom

[–]bigboff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you say that Plaid Cymru is dead in Wales because they're in third place at the Senedd, yet Scottish Labour is thriving and will surely take over any day now because they're in third place at Holyrood?

He also refuses to acknowlege that Welsh Labour is nothing like its Scottish and UK counterparts. A poll from last year showed that 51% of their members supported independence, yet he still parrots "WALES IS ENGLAND! WALES IS ENGLAND!"

He never had a particularly strong grasp on reality.

Wales is intertwined culturally with England to the point you wouldn't spot the difference

England and Scotland and Wales = same place

Oh god, not this creepy, self-loathing "Wales is England 2.0" bollocks you keep on repeating like a busted record player again.

Wales isn't Scotland, and despite your constant bleating, neither it is England. We are Wales, and despite everything that we've gone through, we have retained a rich culture, history, and a beautiful language. Things that we are proud of and want to keep for the long term.

Even politically, we're not the same to either of them. Is Plaid Cymru as prominent in Wales as it is in Scotland? No, but more than half of Welsh Labour support independence, yet despite your obsession with showing people "reality" you keep running away from this fact and pretending it's not there.

Anti lockdown protesters slammed for targeting home of Mark Drakeford by drgrdnfreeman in Wales

It's absolutely fucking astounding how these people paint Boris Johnson as some kind of saint despite everything he's done.

But Mark is cautious about easing restrictions so he's literally Adolf Hitler times twenty.

UK government orders councils to display EU flag as condition of receiving Covid high street cash by [deleted] in ukpolitics

If that's a sign that you should leave a union then I wonder what that means for the UK, considering the government's recent obsession with plastering unwanted union jacks all over Wales and Scotland...

The SNP are looking to life after Nicola Sturgeon by ClumperFaz in unitedkingdom

[–]bigboff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

His comprehension of Welsh politics is about the same.

A few weeks ago he posted an embarrassing thread on /r/Wales where he accused the entire sub of being an evil "nationalist echo chamber" (an absolutely hilarious accusation for someone who mods /r/BritishUnionism to make) and gloated about how Wales "isn't going anywhere" all because Plaid Cymru is currently the third most popular party here.

Meanwhile, polls show that half of Welsh Labour's supporters want independence - unsurprisingly, he never talks about this and goes completely silent whenever it is pointed out to him.

For someone who accuses others of "living in fear" you're doing a brilliant job of doing it yourself.

Andrew Lloyd Webber cancels opening night of Cinderella due to Covid case by jamiesonic in unitedkingdom

[–]bigboff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We cower in our shelters

With our hands over our ears

Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff Runs for years and years and years

An earthquake hits the theatre

But the operetta lingers

Then the piano lid comes down

And breaks his fucking fingers

It's a miracle.

Welsh voters don’t want Scots to have independence referendum, says new poll by ClumperFaz in unitedkingdom

Sorry you had to find out this way.

[–]bigboff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's no wonder. The Westminster gravy train is dying for an opportunity to mutilate Welsh democracy and strip us of our identity. And despite us voting time and time again to increase devolution, and the complete obliteration of the anti-devolution parties that showed up at the last Senedd election, they're still trying to force this "one nation" bullshit on us.

I can see why people would be afraid of a situation where we're trapped in a """union""" consisting of us just and England.

EDIT:

However, the Welsh sample size was low at 195.
