AFTER watching BBC Question Time from Llandudno, it seems our countrymen in the north feel as let down by the Welsh Assembly as I know many in Newport feel. Both the panellists and the audience expressed huge concern about the WAG being given tax raising and spending power with a local GP in the studio audience adamant that “if you get the power, you will raise taxation”. And, judging by the prolific expenditure, much of it on failed vanity project subsidising commercial unviable businesses and on the huge costly bureaucracy that is the WAG itself, I have no reason to believe this will not be the case.

The Conservatives, ever keen to get some political point scoring, were pushing for the Labour-controlled WAG to take charge of Welsh taxation, sensing the car crash and political high ground ultimately lies around the corner.

Panellist David Jones stated he felt the WAG, as I do, are getting a easy ride being able in most part to squander and waste the sizeable amounts of grant money given to them by Brussels and blaming underfunding from Westminster.

Despite receiving billions, we have gone backwards.

The more we get the further behind the rest of the UK we fall. I do feel once even the most hardened hereditary Labour voter sees their take-home pay shrink and services cut year on year, the game with finally be up for Clown Carwyn and his performing circus in the bay.
