Perhaps if Janet Finch-Saunders is so concerned about wasting our money, she should be askng her party serious questions about the levels of progress on Brexit that is being made, with an annual bill of £100m now underway for Liam Fox’s bloated international trade department, with his 2,841 staff and David Davis’ Brexit department and its 300 staff.
So far they’ve sent Article 50 and that’s it. The rest of the time, they go on a jolly to Brussels, get laughed at and then get sent home. They have absolutely no clue what they are doing and that is something far more people care about, than some contrived dig by the Tories to yet again attack the public sector and trade unions.
Glad to see you’re an expert on the Brexit negotiations.
How can pointing out that OUR money is being wasted be construed as a dig at Public sector workers?

It’s called doing a basic Google before getting involved in a discussion, something you no doubt also had to do to begin this post. No expertise required to see what a car crash Brexit negotiations currently are.
Your initial post is having a huge accusatory dig at 80 full-time and 153 part-time public sector roles across Wales, implying that if money is being wasted then the money should be cut off, which means these people would lose their jobs. If the money existed elsewhere to fund the positions then that would be the case. Many people completely disagree that trade union representatives are wasted money, so there is no scandal at all.
If we want to talk about scandals, perhaps we should talk about the Conservative use of Welsh call centres during the election?

It’s a big UK-wide problem and none of the local authorities want them in their town or city so they get moved about. But yes, I think it’s a difficult one locally as Wrexham doesn’t have the resources to deal with the current levels of homelessness.

[/quote]May as well just hire a trained chimp then because no level of competency is ever going to make up for the piss poor decision making of Wrexham’s finest decision making clowns. The only time they are not a danger to the general public is when Mark Pritchard finds a pet project to get angry about like the Groves site & puts all his resources into that and completely ignores the rest of the town entirely, leaving things to get on with themselves. Can Walsall not also poach the Exec Board as well? Quite happy to see some new by-elections without them standing.
The ability for smooth and uninterrupted navigation around narrow pinchpoint areas of Wrexham is inversely proportional to the number of Chelsea Tractors currently taking space away from normal cars at any given time.
Anyone who regularly drives around areas such as Rhos or Penycae will notice their distinct lack of respect for the white line road markings in the middle of the road and act like they are doing you a favour by moving over to physically stay off of your side of the road. Could be an eyesight issue as they also read the 20mph zone markings as 30mph.
Also amusing that these off-road 4×4 vehicles are the least muddy cars around the town.
It strikes me as quite possible that Tory supporters completely fail to grasp the concept of a neutral press. Unless they are having pro-Blue shit shovelled down their throat by the likes of the Sun, Mail, Express, Times and Telegraph singing the praises of May et al they don’t like it. So even neutral publications and online sites get accused of being Anti-Tory (and by idiot logic hanging their colours to Labour) just because they aren’t towing the Government propaganda line. The very fact that Dick copied and pasted Guido Fawkes verbatim shows that on this occasion it is us who are having to suffer Tory bias and lies.
Make no mistake, myself and many other Wrexham.com forum posters are pro-Labour, but I’d say by Wrexham.com setting up a local election debate so that candidates from all parties in Wrexham and Clwyd South were able to get their voices heard, was a fair and neutral thing to do. Nobody else was prepared to set that up locally. If Wrexham.com was exclusively a Tory bashing outlet I believe a large number of the local population would be alienated which would diminish the effectiveness of the site as a come one, come all in Wrexham to participate and have your view expressed, which I believe is the spirit of hyper-local news and social media.
