24.04.2025 17:03 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This is indeed correct, but 2800 people lost their jobs even with this support. Nationalising was mocked by all parties until Scunthorpe came about. Thereβs nothing misleading here, simply uneven priorities , thatβs why many are furious.

A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c
Been a Labour support most of my life, Iβm done. Give us Plaid and a say in our own future, tired of Westminster treating us like second class citizens, every single time. From HS2, the crown estate, port talbot and on and on and on.

Tragic news about Val Kilmer, while he will no doubt be remembered for a slew of films to me he will always be Doc Holliday. Such an amazing performance and a sad loss of a legend.
02.04.2025 05:38 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Indeed, but Welsh RL didnβt actually win much in that time, and the ones that returned didnβt help Wales win anything either. Youβre right, the exodus was bad and certainly contributed, but equally we had more clubs to pick from.
16.03.2025 06:21 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Youβre right, although I think thereβs a multitude of reasons, the game has moved on, we were far too slow to blood these youngsters while the old guard were still around to support, all the WRU nonsense and weaker nations have upped their game massively. Hard yards to come, life support incoming!
15.03.2025 20:40 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Iβm not so sure, we lost 51-0 to France and 96-13 to South Africa in the 90βs, as bad as today was, it was no where near that bad. Iβd say on a par IMO, but we can all agree this is the bottom, the next coach is going to be a very important pickβ¦

Itβs a dark day but look to the future and get a coach who can develop these young players, thereβs always hope.
