Give me strength. An article by two female Welsh ‘journalists’ at the BBC about whiny female entrepreneurs in Wales. It’s basically a whinefest about women facing exactly the same challenges as male entreprenurs in Wales, and no gratitude for taxpayer-funded (i.e. mainly male taxpayer-funded) support. The end of the article takes up the remainder of this blog piece:
A spokesperson for the UK government said it was “putting women at the heart of its grown agenda to make the UK the best place for women-led businesses by tackling barriers and unlocking opportunities for them”. [J4MB: As always, the ‘barriers’ and ‘opportunities’ are unspecified.]
“The Invest in Women Taskforce has secured over £500m in funding for women-led businesses over the past 12 months and investment in female entrepreneurs began in August this year,” they said. [J4MB translation: “investment in” means “money pissed away on”.]
The Welsh government said since May 2021, Business Wales had supported 2,301 start-ups led by women [J4MB translation: “supported” means “money pissed away on”.] which is “56% of all start-ups supported”.
“The Development Bank for Wales supports female entrepreneurs via many projects, including the Women Angel of Wales syndicate which increases the activity of female angel investors” they added.
