A few months ago Guido happened across a bizarre promotion for the “Wales Metaverse” game in which internet users “can collect dragons, whilst learning about the must-visit sights“. The actual game involves a character running around an empty low-graphic island with random Visit Wales adverts dotted around…
It turns out that the “six-month trial” of the game, launched to “reach wider audiences“, cost the taxpayer £27,000, which includes spending £1,000 on virtual billboards in the game Roblox. For that cash only 5,000 have looked at the game, which means the taxpayer is footing about a fiver for every view. Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies hits out at the project: “We’ll have to give Labour an award for the most inventive way to flush taxpayers’ money down the drain.” Vaughan Gething is clearly taking a stab for the prize by flying himself and his team upper class to India and staying in a luxury hotel – all for a two-hour meeting…
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
