Vey common nowadays, born and bred Londoners are moving out of the place in droves, happened with relatives of mine who left London to go to Essex. There appears to be more born and bred Cockney's living in Essex these days than there are in Newham.
A grandchild has moved to Australia. Wales, Essex, English South Coast and (for youngsters) Australia seems to be very popular.
Saying you lived in London used to come with bragging rights, not anymore!
The attitude that is likely to prevail is "I might as well p1ss all my money up against the wall".
From certain sections of society of type, that end up paying for care package costs, nursing home costs, provision for house adaptations and stuff out of own savings e.g. stairlifts etc out of their own pockets will stop being responsible.
A case of why should they bother when Mr and Mrs so and so a few streets away have blown all their money on expensive holidays, and are now being looked after by the state.
I know a family member of mine whom has taken the aforementioned attitude and has every intent on lavish spending outlays rather than be taxed, punished and pursued.
Same applies to taxation on middle class, some of whom will just "take their foot of the pedal" and become lesser productive, lesser ambitious and lesser motivated.
The connective chain that bed shortages is part of means that individuals are inevitably going to die in our localities and health board area when their lives should have been saved. That is a fact!
That is an undeniable fact, because ambulance waits/delays of 12-24 hours for seriously ill patients happens on a regular basis, because ambulances are parked outside of A+E instead of providing life saving emergency intervention a.s.a.p.
People had better hope that it's not their mother, sister, parent or child. So why the celebration? What exactly is there to celebrate?
Hence my concern (talking from personal experience on page 2 of this thread) about the stark reality and requirement for rapid intervention/response when it comes to saving lives.
To quote the thread header "What an absolutely brilliant result".
And here is the reality of that "absolutely brilliant result"......SWANSEA BAY: Hospitals will be up to 140 beds short this winter, and there is no extra money to fix it. The health board's own plan says demand for medical beds will outstrip what it has from now until spring, even if every fix works. Welsh Government has told it no winter funding is coming. https://swanseabaynews.com/swa
What raises concern with me is the reported 3 trillion debt that the country is now in, 3 trillion is three thousand billion, now that's a lot of debt. And that's a lot of zero's i.e. 3,000,000,000,000.
It's not far fetched to think that "something has got to give" and there is a devastating crisis brewing that'll hit the U.K sometime in the future, because of.
And what makes matters worse is you have got a government in charge that's got sixth form/student campus mentality. The 3K less you're getting may even get lesser if the cupboards are empty, because of the financial insanity of the current lot in charge.
I find it black-comedy stuff when you have got idiots who want Labour to get re-elected, because they think that they are better than a load of imaginary 'fascists' who'll want to balance the books.
Could you imagine a second term of the lot we've got currently in charge?
I cannot speak on his behalf, but I would not be surprised in the slightest if state pensions became 'means tested' whereupon those who bothered to save for old age get a lower rate.
Absolute joke, 1,200 illegal migrants have entered the U.K in the last two days and people may be expected to fight for a country that cannot even be bothered to defend its own borders.
Add to that the governments obvious dislike for free speech. And add further the obvious dislike by the left for the Union Jack flag.
Fighting for a country that cannot defend its own borders, dislikes free speech and has proven contempt for its own flag, aye really makes you want to fight NOT!!!!
I could be wrong, BUT could Palestine be the new "en vogue" right-on cause for celebrities to latch on to?
Time evolves, many years back it was other causes that were the celebrity trend of time?
I do often ponder the sincerity of multi-millionaire celebrities whom live oceans away from events/situations that they are rather disconnected from? The passion for the cause? About as heartfelt Paul McCartney's "Give Ireland Back to the Irish"?
Nah, there is modern day WOKE like there is modern day political correctness, that's been abused and misused to cater for the insane beliefs and lunacy of absolute idiots.
I do think that your stereotypical (I have met some) Presbyterian or Vexed Vicar type(s) would not agree with stuff like one hundred genders, because you know the Genesis 1:27 thingy i.e. Matthew 19:4 records Jesus answering the Pharisees by saying, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?”
I do not think that your average 'fire and brimstone' Presbyterian minister is in agreement with made up gender fluid polygender non-binary type nonsense, or having rainbow flags anywhere near his church or manse?
And like I have previously mentioned i.e. comparing modern day WOKE and politcal correctness with what it was before ? That is like comparing the UVF of 36th (Ulster) Division with the drug dealing, kneecapping, protection racketeering gangsterism that uses the same name!
I wonder if the Vexed Vicar will get his claws into this one? He does rather seem to be exceptionally critical of modern day Church Of England, along with all its WOKE lunacy and insane virtue signaling.
Imo its a case of a government that's absolutely terrified of mass protests and public defiance/civil disobedience going viral throughout the length and breadth of the entire U.K. There was another protest in Glasgow on Tuesday.
When migrant dispersal starts happening away from hotels and straight into residents own street, own neighbourhood and own postcode, that is when the unrest will well and truly become a major problem.
The left whether that be Welsh Nationalist/Yes Cymru or Labour are an absolute joke!
It's bleeding bloody obvious that the majority of them (if not all) do not have any clue whatsoever how things work in business or the real world.
Richard Selby i.e. Director, Pro Steel Engineering a few year ago...
QUOTE: "The current M4 infrastructure is on its last legs. Pro Steel strengthened one bridge and it was in a terrible state; this section of motorway was built during a time when little attention was paid to quality control.
The level of congestion will also continue to infuriate business owners and commuters for years to come and will only be detrimental to the economy of South Wales. This is a major blow for improving economic prosperity that would benefit the whole of Wales.” END OF QUOTE.
It was also asked what happens when this stretch of vital transport infrastructure is "shut for major repairs".
Then there is Wales CBI describing the scrapping of a relief road as "a 'dark day' for the Welsh economy".
Enter a new bunch of isolationist backward yokels and the obvious project to turn Wales into an impoverished economic backwater continues! And to think some want to give these incapable clowns even more power!
"Welsh Conservative Leader Darren Millar MS has warned that the Plaid Cymru Welsh Government risks jobs and investment in Wales after an announcement that decisions on investment in the defence sector should be put on hold. "
There is a term that I first became aware of during the Swansea traveller site protests a few years back. That word is "localism".
Once Labour and 'nation of sanctuary' Plaid types start the widespread-nationwide distribution of these illegal migrants into houses, streets and postcodes?
That is when protests will well and truly become an epidemic phenomena. A case of protests like the one seen in Llanelli erupting here, there and everywhere!
