Independence without the money tree. Probably won't be as good as it seems. Brexit was a stupid bloody move. We should be coming together not apart.

Couldn't agree less.

Westminster has never governed with the best interests of the Celtic nations in mind, and the deficit everyone quotes is proof of that. A century of underinvestment, no control over Crown Estate revenues, water and energy exported with the profits booked elsewhere.

"You're too poor to leave" isn't an argument for the union, it's an indictment of it. Who's been running the economy that made Wales poor for the last century?

Wales and Scotland have always been poor. Scotland literally joined the union because they were bankrupt. The English taxpayer literally subsidise them, depsite them having huge amounts of autonomy for decades

Sounds like you'll be better off without us then.

Where do we sign?
