  1. That's neo-liberalism for you. And whilst Wales is stuck in this farce of a union, we are the ones towards the bottom of the list.

  2. Well Iwan, we would need to move from the human race, because it is replicated over the world.

The Union of course represents the status-quo, and in a democracy the majority in Wales seem to reject any alternative to the Union.
