Politicians are making some pretty bold claims about the cuts they will make in Wales to save money.
The problem is, their maths doesn’t add up.
Here are 3 things that, even if you cut them, will make very little difference to the amount of cash Wales has:
--- The Nation of Sanctuary.
A scheme to help (mainly Ukrainian refugees) contribute to Welsh society. Cost = £10m/year = 0.037% of the Welsh budget.
--- The planting in Uganda.
A scheme that offsets 25% of Wales’ transport emissions (not bad for the cost of one 3-bed house). Cost = £270k/year = 0.001% of budget.
--- Scrap 20mph.
This would actually COST £40m in changing the signs back. It also would cost the taxpayer more through increased casualties and higher insurance (about £90m a year).
It is fine to want to scrap any of these policies if you think the money can be better spent elsewhere. But politicians need to stop pretending it will make any meaningful difference to the ability of the Welsh Government to deliver public services.
They are rounding errors on a spreadsheet.
I’m actually in shock, the audacity to market it as a pride night, announce a PRIDE HOME JERSEY, post throwback photos then go ‘hmm actually we are gonna do it for 20 mins’, WITHOUT TELLING THE CHARITY YOURE DONATING TOO?????? disgusting.
And this children is why warming up and warm ups are an important part of your sporting event.
Is he off to be rubbed down by a man? That’d be pretty gay
