Wasting in Wales

Our profligate politicians are at it again. The Welsh Assembly are proposing to spend £42 million of our money smartening up their own offices. They claim that their HQ needs to be modernised for health and safety reasons. But I think we all know that most of the money will be wasted on luxurious decorations and furniture to keep our politicos in the style to which they feel entitled as they conduct their important business. We’ve been here before. The new Welsh Assembly building should have cost £12 million and actually squandered about £70 million of our cash. Perhaps the Welsh are trying to catch up with the Scots who spent over £400 million on a building originally planned to cost about £40 million.
