    This is a great success story and a good score for both Wales and GB.

        We could always pay for it out of the foreign aid budget. That seems to be the “go” lately not that I’m complaining, perhaps we should use all the foreign aid budget on defence spending as there are a lot of foreign fighters on our soil now.
