Yes , I need to start reading it more , thanks !

Oh I didn’t mean to offend you . Sometimes I shouldn’t reply , just too obsessed with how fucked up everything is and stupidly related it to your comment . Apologies

Absolutely ! Complete destruction of industrial areas with no care taken on redevelopment. Short termism too .

I can imagine !

Will be sadly popular

Yes . Got to say it’s thankfully unique amongst places I have worked but it’s quite full on . One girl crying when Theresa May was trying to very slightly mitigate Brexit 😂 Her line manager comforting her saying we all voted Brexit and me the hated remainer having to bite my tongue (again )

This essay outlines the leave vote in the kind of area I vote in . I just pray Reform won’t fill the void.

I will read the article but it feels like I live the opposite reality here . Not many English retirees in the destroyed ex industrial zones but many problematic families moved here for cheaper rents

Cardiff voted remain . As a visitor it feels much more open minded .

Yes , I did post though not sure it went in the right place that Plaid voting , Welsh speaking areas are different . But I am in a pretty xenophobic English speaking work place . Even watching people mime a spit on the ground because a local councillor was Muslim ..

Surrounded by Welsh people overwhelmingly in favour of Farage . Been advised he’s one of us . To watch Tommy Robinson videos . To call the police if I see a lone black man with a child outside of school hours . Watched people back a man who painted a Swastika on his roof as it is only anti Muslims..

Oh gosh 😅

Compare it to the state of the world 😂? No matter how fucked up we are as individuals we can’t come close to chaos the current batch of psychopathic world leaders are enabling

Yes . Labour have really got to up their game

And it’s odd . A few miles away at least you have a lot of Plaid voters . The Welsh - speaking areas were far more pro remain

Hard to do but thanks for the reminder 😂

Good one !

I work in a part of South Wales in an office which overwhelmingly voted leave . Farage , Reform , Johnson and Tommy Robinson are popular and as a dirty remainer I normally have to keep quiet .
