Not disputing it's need, just the so called benefit to Wales that rules out a Barnett consequence that Scotland and Northern Ireland get that could be invested in Wales own rail network.

I have paid for crossrail and so have you. We don't live in London. What's your point? You only pay for stuff that affects your own street? How parochial.

Perhaps Wales shouldn't pay, but if anyone in Wales ever uses HS2 they pay a £5 premium per ticket in future? How does that sound?

It's about getting investment in the area you live in. Crossrail HS2 etc aren't much use to someone who commutes from Carmarthen to Swansea or Bangor to Wrexham or Merthyr to Cardiff but hey if you're happy with London or Manchester or elsewhere getting good transport links and not where you live I guess that's your perogative.

Fine, so in your independent Wales if there is investment in rail which only benefits north Wales, it is legitimate that no one in south Wales pays?

I think we should all have good transport links. I do not believe we then only pay for stuff which affects you personally.

With the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth, it now means the position of the Prince of Wales is now vacant so only time will tell if King Charles appoints his son as Prince of Wales and whether there will be an investiture and where it will be as part of that appointment.
 
We do not need another Prince of Wales. It is a sham title. RIP Queen Elizabeth but now is the time to wind the Monarchy down. No more Kings and Queens.
 
The title of Prince of Wales doesn't make sense for modern Wales, as for the institution of the monarchy itself i doubt Charles will be the last monarch but i do personally wonder if it'll be modernised and slimmed down in the future.

The First Minister of Wales has been in Ireland the last couple of days and has made some interesting comments about Welsh independence and the UK, in particular about his own views and how he sees the UK for Wales, it's insurance policy as he put it.

The Prince of Wales’ vocal support for the England football team highlights the absurdity of his title

Llinos Dafydd A question: How many nations at the World Cup will have a person who holds the title of their leader who isn’t supporting them in the competition? How many nations in the World Cup will have a person who is supposed to be representing them around the world who is supporting one of […]

Spent the weekend in Cardiff, took a walk on the Taff trail Saturday morning as we were staying in a holiday cabin by Taffs Well right next too the trail, then went too watch Wales v Australia in the afternoon and nearly missed the kick off because of traffic! Then visited relatives and Caerphilly Castle! Forgot how amazing that castle is and the history on the doorstep in Wales. To be honest was quite weird being a tourist in a place that i grew up in and lived for over 40 years. Unfortunately it'll be a while now until i return, next trip i've got booked is in the north in Caernarvon for St David's day. Hopefully i should have a new proper camera by then!

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
