Freeloader­s prosper in Labour’s Wales

-

I AM struggling to find a clear path from this Labour government.

Labour has been in power in the Senedd for the past 20 years and what have we got?

The waiting-lists for the NHS are longer than ever, you can’t get a GP appointmen­t, and now our dentist who was NHS has told us they are now private and an NHS dentist is as rare as hen’s teeth – it’s rubbish.

The cost of living is just as hard for me and my wife as we are both pensioners and we struggle, but my council tax is band F so we couldn’t even get the £150 council tax rebate as it was only up to band D. We have paid tax and NI all our working lives, never claimed a penny off the state.

My advice to anybody now is get a council house, sit on your butt, do nothing, claim you have mental health issues, have as many children as you can and reap the benefits then when you get older and need care – it’s yours for free.

Then the cheeky Senedd Members want another load of pals and mates to join them on the gravy train as there is so much work for them to do. Then the state will keep them in the luxury they seem to like.

One very disappoint­ed Welshman.
