*this is aimed mostly at people who live in or are from Wales/Cymru, but anyone can give their thoughts.

Would love to hear reasonings from either side with it in the tags or replies

accidentally gets handed a direct line to the Senedd and proceeds to tell them how terribly hard it is for disabled and neurodivergent people to access healthcare and that it's a problem with lack of money, with how the system is structured, with the culture of bullying and shaming in healthcare that staff and patients have to contend with. How advocacy groups and third sector orgs who are plugging the gaps are not listened to, not funded adequately, and people are dying due to lack of care and support. How there's no good way of holding healthcare workers accountable if they abuse their patients. How healthcare workers abusing patients happens all the time every day especially to disabled and neurodivergent people and there's no process to complain that will actually lead to better practice and consequences for the people in question.

a bunch of MS's sat and took notes so uh. here's hoping

i hate england so much, transphobes here are getting more and more bold to such a degree that they’re being little shits on our internal workplace messageboard.  like these mfs are being bigots with their full ass names and stores they work at in their user info. they’re risking disciplinary just to punch down at us. this is genuinely fucked up.

#i'm so fucking glad i've cancelled on doing touhoufest next year so i can save money to hopefully move from this shithole of a country #like england is slowly becoming less and less safe for me to exist in as time goes on it's actually depressing #like i'm glad that i have some solace in that the senedd seem to be making proposals to protect and expand my rights #but i also know that the UK government will just be dicks and shoot down any progressive welsh legislation #this blows fucking hard regardless #reimblimg

Liz Truss, who is likely to be the next prime minister through the vote of about 100,000 Tory membes, said it's best to ignore Nicola Sturgeon, who was elected through proportional representation by the people of Scotland to be first minister. The Tory part were elected in by a first past the post system in which everyone's votes don't count equally. Now try and tell me that Scotland is a respected part of the Union like Liz Truss said "we work better as one big family".

#Westminster doesn't care about the other countries in the union #a law was recently passed that allows Westminster to overrule the Senedd on devolved matters #(the Senedd is the devolved government of Wales) #uk politics #panda's post

A family of tour*sts somehow making it into my (small and not particularly well known) universities main building, which is currently on ID card access only, being surprised at the presence of a student, and then asking me for directions to the "universities merchandise shop" like it's some sort of major attraction is possibly one of the weirder tourist interactions I've ever had.

#tourists are fucking weird #unironically want the Senedd to bring in the tourist tax so i don't have to deal with them ever again #like mate im just trying to take five minutes where i don't have to think about grain processing leave me alone #how do they even get into these places? #i swear the bastards can walk through locked doors

Officially, there are no eligibility requirements to be UK Prime Minister. Realistically, you need to be the leader of the majority party in Parliament, and a Member of Parliament.

So what's the eligibility requirements to be an MP?

Over 18; citizen of the UK, Commonwealth, or Ireland; not a police officer, soldier, civil servant, judge, or Member of the House of Lords; and not a member of a foreign legislature (excluding Commonwealth nations and Ireland), or the European Parliament, the Northern Irish Assembly, and Welsh Senedd.

Not even a residency requirement.

So if you fit those criteria, and the Tories keep losing Prime Ministers at this rate, look forward to your mandatory week as Prime Minister.

So does Wales voting to ditch the Prince of Wales title automatically mean William ain't Prince of Wales anymore, or is there other BS they have to go through first to make England accept it?

Oh, god no, Wales has done no such thing. One of the councils of Wales, Gwynedd, has internally voted on it, basically to gauge opinion and also to make it official where they stand.

Okay, so, super quick and massively oversimplified political explanation: Wales is split into 22 counties, each of which has a council that does its day to day local governing, like when to put the recycling out and picking what colour to make the bins (recycling is a Big Deal in Wales and we are third in the world for doing it so this is a Very Important part of the job and we're Very Proud.) These councils are separate from electoral constituencies, though. Those are almost the same as the ones used for UK general elections, where we would vote for MPs to represent us in Westminster. However, there are more for Welsh elections, and in those we vote for MSs - Members of the Senedd.

The Senedd is the Welsh Parliament. That's where the laws are made in our devolved areas, aka the stuff Westminster is not allowed to decide for us, like education and cheese and recycling. That, if anywhere, is the place where we'd need politicians to demand an end to the Prince of Wales title if they were going to have a chance, because that's where the First Minister is, and he's like... the leader of Wales. Biggest Dog. The one who told the BBC right to their faces that Wales would base its pandemic response on science rather than creating a smokescreen to cover up our personal birthday party scandals. Mark Drakeford, an underwhelming but competent politician who is reportedly very good about packing his shopping away using the packing shelf in Aldi so he doesn't hold people up; which in Welsh people's books makes him Tidy.

Also, as councils go - as regions of Wales go - Gwynedd is the Most Welsh. The Welshest bit. Wales cubed. Uberwales. The land that England forgot. Come to Cymru. I Welsh, you Welsh, he/she/it Welsh. Very Welsh. Much Welsh. So Wales.

This did not require a vote, is what I'm saying.

So, what's actually happened here is that a local government of a single easily won council have agreed that William shouldn't be Prince of Wales in their opinion, and that's their official position. In terms of meaningful impact it's roughly equivalent to a custard pie dropped off a four foot ladder, except the pie was dragon shaped and sang 'O Gymru' as it fell.

HOWEVER.

It IS notable for being an official governmental body that has had the balls to OFFICIALLY tell the monarchy to do one, just as everyone is being very monarchial and shrieking 'Traitor!' at anyone not tearing their hair and beating their breast at the Queen's demise. And as long as it is an official, voted-on position, it opens up some possibilities both for other councils around the country and for the Senedd. If other councils start doing the same thing... it applies pressure. It's all about awareness. It helps grease the wheels of the actual petitions on the subject that are currently gathering signatures.

It helps establish a mandate, basically.

I suspect the next to vote will be either Anglesey, which copies Gwynedd a lot, or Monmouthshire, which will deliberately vote the other way, because their councillors are English. Alternatively nothing at all will happen. But we'll see!

Cardiff/Wales things I think torchwood should have used more effectively (part 2):

Sheep shagger jokes. You cannot convince me Owen isn’t the sort of twat to make jokes stereotyping the country he chooses to live in, and you also can’t convince me Rhys is not the sort of Welsh person to think it’s funny to say he’s shagged sheep after he’s had a pint or two.

Recently learned some Welsh schools decorate leeks for St David’s day like that’s not the most stereotypical thing ever. Stunning

Tourists - as a major city, Cardiff attracts mostly UK visitors but also international tourists, especially for big rugby events. During the 6 Nations you will meet some very proud Irishmen in the pubs

Daffodils!! As Wales’ national flower, there are daffodils everywhere in the spring.

The St David’s (Dewi sant) shopping centre. Absolutely massive, really dominates parts of the city centre, makes Cardiff into one of the UK’s best shopping destinations

The Welsh government. Possibly a more recent development but the Senedd is located in the Bay Area, right by notable torchwood filming locations (Roald Dahl plass and Millenium centre, mermaid quay etc)
