Why isn't the Senedd changing Wales' school curriculum? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is the Senedd responsible for education in Wales, or not? While schools are pursuing gender, sex, minority, language, and behaviour courses, and acting as proxy parents, Wales turns out the worst-educated children in the entire UK, with huge numeracy and illiteracy issues, barely on par with poorer third-world countries. Older pupils decided to walk away from it and wander the streets instead. Decisions on the curriculum are unduly influenced by central government policies and consultation proce
Has the Argus become 'Newport's very own 'Crime Daily' magazine?' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I'm wondering if the Argus has become Newport's very own 'Crime Daily' magazine lately. It seems the only news it prints is about drugs, violence, or poor/criminal/anti-social behaviour, none of which ever gets addressed, and on endless repeat mode. The 'Who has been in court today...' items must have already covered the entire population of Newport twice over. I remember a request put to the Argus years ago to dedicate an entire issue of just one day, highlighting all the good and decent things
Council continues to approve HMOs despite resident concerns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, Newport City Council announced that its planning department would respond to residents’ concerns regarding the increasing number of flats and HMOs being approved across our community.

These planning approvals are removing much-needed family accommodation and replacing
Wales cannot keep relying on crumbs from London's table (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Giving mayors control over tax money won't solve Wales' issues; it will simply create a postcode lottery where the wealthiest areas with mayors benefit, while others are left behind. This system isn't relevant to Wales, which doesn't have a mayoral governance structure. Instead, Wales struggles with ineffective governance, dominated by a few parties unable to reach consensus. All the PR spin, empty promises, and 'jam tomorrow' rhetoric come from London - mostly about England, whether in the Nort
Police need more authority to tackle crime as 'Newport is completely lawless' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone is aware of the current situation regarding runaway crime in Newport. The truth is that we know what’s happening, but there is little anyone can do about it. Criminals operate openly on the streets, commit burglary, deal drugs and illegal tobacco from retail premises, and shoplift without fear of any consequence, and our women and children are not safe to step outside the door. Anyone who intervenes is often the ones who end up being locked up or filmed on video with impunity, creating
