£300,000 of Welsh taxpayers’ money spent on overseas projects, including beekeeping classes in Uganda, while Wales’ NHS struggles. Labour started it, Plaid continues it. Charity begins at home! Welsh money for Wales. Full stop! telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

So let’s get this right: the most elite British troops, SAS commandos operating against terrorists, can be placed under criminal investigation for missions undertaken at the behest of their government and for the safety of their country; but actual, known ISIS terrorists can’t be deported from the UK because of their ‘human rights’? We are literally prosecuting our most elite commandos while protecting known terrorists. It’s terrorists’ rights over British citizens’ rights. For shame.
