It was a direct response to you boss, so you tell me. You said paid for and I also said paid for. Quiz yourself on that one.
At least 60% of the workforce live in England. Why should Wales pay for them? It needs a regional approach. It shows we are more interdependant with Cheshire Merseyside and Manchester than with south Wales
Anyway Tata are asking for a £500m bailout that includes covering cash flow for workers in Wales, so how would offering state aid to support workers at Airbus be any different?

WAG do need to provide bailout money to protect the affected workers who will lose their jobs. Firstly money next to redundancy pay to make sure in the short term those affected can afford to pay their bills and put food on the table. Secondly money to help those affected seek alternative employment or get training so they can go into a different field.
Plaid Cymru North Wales Llyr Gruffydd MS mentions: “Both Welsh and UK Governments must now step up to the plate and do everything possible to retain these jobs and others throughout the supply chain.”
Unfortunately this is impossible if global demand within the aerospace sector is expected to take a downturn that will take 5 years to recover because of Covid. There is literally no way you can drum up imaginary business that doesn’t exist. Unless the Welsh Government are looking to build their own planes. So the directly affected workforce and those within their supply chain who are laid off or lose business need redistributing.
At some point down the line if this all blows over – say 18-24 months down the line then possibly WAG would be able to assist in securing new wing contracts so that Airbus can eventually expand when recovery is possible, but this isn’t a short term possibility.
In terms of suggesting workforce shouldn’t be paid for if they live in England, I disagree as it’s a Welsh based site that adds to the Welsh economy. If an English business failed and there were Welsh workers from across the border, we wouldn’t expect Welsh workers to get stiffed because of geographic location within the UNITED Kingdom.
At the end of the day, if the WAG can be of any use, I’ll reserve my judgement – they badly need to show their commitment to North Wales with every opportunity to prove to skeptics that it’s not just a Cardiff and South Wales only beneficiary project.
In terms of seeking outside help from Westminster, I’m not sure we should need it for a singular instance. Why do we have a Development Bank of Wales set-up if it can’t support the economy and businesses and workers in times of need?
The fact that they refuse to close the factory down is shocking. It is putting everyone at risk at the factory and the wider community of Wrexham. We are at risk of being put into extended lockdown in this area like Leicester.
Story has made the nationals now.

A sensible on topic contribution here:
300 workers not yet shown up for testing, are they still turning up to work or are they supposedly self isolating?
This thread reminds me of the 1994 Winter Olympics – LillySpammer.
Nothing to add about the NHS, just a bunch of repeated comments from other threads in your overexcited games against me and everhard.
p.s. whilst me and everhard have you tie up in rings like a confused dog chasing a wasp Lilly, you completely chose to ignore the valid criticism of substance from Janey about your precious Matriarch.
With the ever growing criticism mounting from more and more corners of Wrexham, you are fighting a losing battle. I can troll you all week for my own amusement, but you can’t change popular opinion.
Truth – wasn’t me that edited it. It was moderated after someone complained about the language – YOU ;’)
For someone demanding an apology about something they perceive as being incorrect yet an OVERWHELMING number of other individuals in Wrexham deem my position to be correct.
You ain’t half wrong incorrect about me. To borrow an Americanism. When you Assume, you make an an Ass out of U and Me.
Nobody on the left has been remotely interested in Momentum since GE 2017. I suppose you’ll be picking on bloody punk rockers around town next? How about them New Romantics?
As you are only good at one thing, which is making ad hominem attacks with all the accuracy of Blind Pete playing darts. Keep making those holes in the floor.
Isn’t it funny that the only people still going on about Brexit are sad one issue individuals who voted it through and completely fail to understand that people have bigger concerns now like Covid-19, whether or not they’ll have a job to go to, whether the healthcare system will survive or when it will be safe for their kids to get 5 days of regular schooling a week again?
Try some of those topics. At the moment you are just comic relief for the likes of myself and everhard.
You have a go at me for doing a Lilly LOL and that’s all you can muster in response to everhard.
I eagerly await your next tamesponse. Don’t tell me it’ll be asking for an apology for your influence of or precisely none against me with my accountability levels of precisely NONE.
Let’s keep dancing.
