Andrew RT Davies lashes out at Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru at Tory conference

There was no chance of him humiliating himself in front of a hall full of Unionist propaganda gulpers who would be asking who the hell he is but what is clear is that he started this elimination of Cymru exercise at the Vale show weeks after the Tory wipeout and is now selling our nations’ shutdown to the dictatorship. ‘Thou shalt not reject us any longer, we shalt be enforced upon you and thou shalt have no choice’. Good luck with that stupid boy and wake up Cymru! If we are not on the precipice of freedom by the end of this Parliament, there are worse than him waiting to make his sick dream come true.

"let’s not forget the union [United Kingdom] is the most successful union socially, culturally or economically that you will find anywhere in the modern world" - what about the United States of America?

If the truth be told, no Unionist can point to any economic argument, whether it be in Wales, whether it be in Scotland, or Northern Ireland. They just say it won't work out but they cannot point to any calculations. Show us the sums, and then argue your point!!

20mph "we believe that this should be outside schools, hospitals and care homes, sensitive sites"? What are "sensitive sites"? Last week the Welsh Tories said 20mph should be in "heavily pedestrianised areas". I really don't think they have a clue where they want 20mph zones.

Hmm ... ,"he Union is the most successful socially, culturally and economically" . Well, 1/ Cymru didn't have much choice in the matter, we didn't enter freely, whether it's successful or not, and 2/ try telling that to those suffering poverty and deprivation in Cymru and those areas that needed massive EU financial help (and still do, but can no longer access it). Davies is a stooge who should not be representing Cymru in any shape or form.

I have never heard this man say one positive word about Wales. I would have written Cymru but I don't want Andrew RT calling me a separatist, who he seems determined to fight. All very bellicose and macho!

He has the prospective new leaders to impress. He is looking to keep his job.

Man is living in upside-down fantasy la la land. What an embarrassement.

According to the article above, Mr Davies stated that ‘By their own figures, £9 billion taken out of the economy, and ultimately will not bring those casualty rates down, which we all want to see’ As usual he is overstating the projected cost of introducing 20 mph limits in Wales. The Regulatory Impact Assessment’s (RIA) central estimate of the net cost of the policy was £2.9bn over 30 years. It’s unclear where Mr Davies’ figures come from. The RIA does state that the worst-case estimate of the gross cost (which doesn’t take into account potential savings e g from reduced accidents) of longer journey times could be £8.9bn over 30 years. Is he stating this higher figure  because he genuinely doesn’t understand the RIA, or is it because he is deliberately distorting and overstating the costs in order to support his arguments? Furthermore  figures issued by the Welsh Government show that ‘The number of people injured on 20 and 30mph roads in Wales fell by almost a third in the final quarter of 2023.The figures show there were 463 casualties on such roads between October and December, down from 681 in the same period a year earlier. (BBC 6 June 2024) He is therefore wrong on both his arguments. 

It's pretty easy to see why he was so against the lying in the Senedd rule. Come on now, how many more times does one have to demonstrate that they're a complete fraud with not one iota of honesty, until some sort of action is taken against them?
