HAVING just read the disgusting spending on the Welsh Governments credit cards they should all hang their heads in shame.

These politicians in Cardiff Bay should really wake up to what’s going on in the outside world. A recent report has come out stating that more than 700,000 Welsh families are living in abject poverty, tens of thousands of people are still using foodbanks and according to the Trussel Trust this is increasing week by week.

I even know of several cancer sufferers who have been denied government benefits because they are getting statutory sick pay of a measly £80 a week, one sufferer with breast cancer has been forced to go back to work to help pay her bills, and here we have the Welsh Government spending millions of pounds of our money on Burger King, McDonalds, and the cost of hotel stays is eye watering.

One hotel in Beijing cost nearly £10,000, the cards even paid for magazine subscriptions, over the past seven years the assembly have totted up a disgusting £7.5 million on cards.

And of recent times it has been quoted that Carwyn Jones rented a private plane at a cost of £10,000 to fly to France to watch Wales play football, if this is indeed true he should be made to stand down. This type of expense is not just confined to Cardiff Bay, but it is rife in Westminster and at our local council level.

Only a few weeks ago the people of the UK voted in a referendum to come out of the EU, I think it really is about time we had a referendum on abolishing the Welsh Government, the people of Wales are really struggling while the politicians in Cardiff Bay live the high life, and don’t forget the £10,000 pay rise they have had. Shocking, disgusting.
