grough — Trust calls for rethink to protect Britain's wild lands
Yes please, keep the 'special' designation for places where people do not live, for landscapes which people have not formed, yes, the 'wilderness'. However I can't see much wilderness in Snowdonia, it is covered in man made relics such as stone walls, neolithic circles, iron age forts, Roman ruins and of course the English castles, oh and the UK's highest slum.

Clegg promises action on Britain's £18bn a year public sector pensions | Mail Online
Clegg promises action on Britain's £18bn a year public sector pensions Mail Online
End this discrimination, scrap all public sector pension schemes and pay a standard decent pension to everyone whether they are former civil servants or a self-employed plumber. The current system which rewards public servants disproportionately creates problems in rural areas because the well heeled retirees can afford to pay over the odds for homes that the locals desperately need.
We can't afford the public sector, we can't afford the duplication of the Welsh Assembly (when it suits) or the Scottish thingy for that matter.
We can't afford the greedy banks or the greeedy 'City'.
Back to basics, slice and dice Mr Osborne.

WalesOnline - News - Wales News - First Minister demands respect from Westminster
Can we afford all this devolution when we don't see any dividend? Would it be wiser to inform the population of Wales what this has cost to date? How much more it costs than it did before devolution? What tangible benefits Wales has enjoyed since devolution together with the areas in which Wales had fallen behind in comparison with the rest of the UK, Scotland and rural housing for example, then allow the people of Wales to vote on whether we should keep this devolved government?
