Im not aware of anyone in wales giving their children away because they cannot afford to look after them. Im not aware of the suicide rate in wales increasing by 50 percent recently and so far as im aware the unemployment rate in wales is nowhere near 25 percent...so its difficult to see any comparisons between wales and greece, other than in the above poster's fevered imagination.<br /><br />As for the query about the durability of devolution for wales? well given the dismal standards and half baked arguments of the dwindling band of anti-devolutionists in wales i think it would be fair to say that devolution is going to be a permanent feature of welsh political life...the only question being as to how much further wales goes along the path of devolved government and at what speed? <br /><br />Further devolution is likely to come as a result of the silk commission's findings...while a yes vote in Scotland's independence referendum in 2014 is likely to result in the process of welsh devolution gathering even greater speed. <br /><br />Leigh Richards<br />SwanseaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069212153482249376.post-50004841152750679982012-06-16T14:15:55.162+01:002012-06-16T14:15:55.162+01:00Yes, kp, I bet they can't keep a straight face...Yes, kp, I bet they can't keep a straight face about us in Greece...Hendrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2069212153482249376.post-88042576496855014992012-06-15T22:58:43.279+01:002012-06-15T22:58:43.279+01:00Come on Gareth, more serious stuff please on the f...Come on Gareth, more serious stuff please on the fall and fall of Wales. How much longer do you think we will have to put up with the cretins in Cardiff? Even the 'Welsh' in Wales know that we can't carry on like this.
