You cannot travel from north Wales to south Wales by train unless you leave the country.
Rail infrastructure isn’t devolved to the Welsh Government which leaves Wales with a completely England-centric public transport system.

*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
In reference to this petition:

Thinking about The Laws of Hywel Dda again, specifically the "if a hungry person passes through 3 towns without being fed, he cannot be charged with a crime if he steals food" part. This implies there is a societal obligation to feed the hungry that has to start at the most basic communal level.
For a modern Welsh state this is tantamount to suggesting that if the state has an obligation to uphold the law, it has an obligation to feed those in food poverty. From a legal standpoint it is unlawful and culturally offensive/insensitive for there to NOT be welfare systems in place that do this.
PLUS, it raises the question of waiving sentencing for shoplifting upon those who can prove they live in absolute poverty. A business or chain that attempts to prosecute or punish a shoplifter who specifically steals food to satisfy an immediate hunger need, is arguably practicing a culturally offensive/insensitive act.
If a company commits to punishing shoplifters like this, should they even be allowed to do business in the country, as it would be repeatedly failing to commit to both the law and the culture of the country?

what are they on about "anti-motorist measures"????
scientists, doctors, etc.: making the speed limit 20mph in villages & outside hospitals & outside schools has many benefits such as less car crashes, less accidents where children get hit, reduced chances of injury from accidents, and reduced car fume pollution
labour: okay! we'll lower the speed limit there to 20
tories: you fucking extremist fucking cunts how fucking dare you clearly you never want anyone to drive a car ever. ffs the state of this country soon we'll all have to walk at 3mph in case we crash into people. we will STOP THESE ANTI-MOTORIST MEASURES

Never seen a type of scum like this

Unbelievable. This actual demon really said Wales 'voted for Tories en masse' when we had a Labour majority in 2019, then said we 'voted for brexit en masse' when the margin was under 100k votes for Leave. Here's the numbers. What a miserable creature. Go look at their deranged posts yourselves. Scotland absolutely had a part in empire, what the fuck.
