I guess there must be some kind of rules put in place, to make sure no one is taking advantage?

You have an extraordinary high level of unemployment in your local area. Well done that your local Chapel has stepped up to run a cafe one day a week. In the states, many towns have local food pantries which are sorely needed. Mine is open one day a week as well.

Yes, Wales was particularly hard hit by Thatcher and successive governments closing the mines and running down the steel works. The old traditional industries that employed thousands were swept away in a few years with little real attempt to replace them. Short-sightedness and short-termism has been a feature of British governments for the last sixty years or so, sadly.

Thanks mike for explaining why Wales has such a very high unemployment rate.
That is beyond sad.
It is hard to imagine the pain and hardship this has caused nor how the people there have been able to just survive never mind to be able to live a decent life.
IMO if that happened in the states it would probably lead to violence.

Indeed Mike you hit the nail on the head there for sure, Thatcher did huge damage, Even now her name is a bad swear word, And in Recent years More Conservative cuts to local services, Guarantees Labour winning the Local seat, As they have since the 1930s. But the community as a whole are trying to launch new projects to help turn things around, So "Never say Die".

rebel2020, I truly hope your community can turn this around. I was no fan of Margaret Thatcher. The more I learn about her the less I see any attributes. Such a cold person to let this happen and not to step in and assist in working out solutions. "Never Say Die" is a great motto IMO. Have a good feeling your community will somehow get thru this. You and your community are in my thoughts and prayers. Andie xoxoxo

rebel2020, The Lord's Prayer in Welsh Ein Tad yn y nefoedd, sancteiddier dy enw; deled dy deyrnas; gwneler dy ewyllys, ar y ddaear fel yn y nef. Dyro inni heddiw ein bara beunyddiol, a maddau inni ein troseddau, fel yr ym ni wedi maddau i'r rhai a droseddodd yn ein herbyn; a phaid â'n dwyn i brawf, ond gwared ni rhag yr Un drwg. Oherwydd eiddot ti yw'r deyrnas a'r gallu a'r gogoniant am byth. Amen.
