Again, any criticism over welsh language legislation leads to personal crap.
Wind yer necks in
It’s just a means of communication and not an invite to war "
As long as humans can communicate with each other ,that should be enough | |

It upsets all the right people.

Its a miracle that its survived given the global march of English.
Not to mention the near open hostility.
Every single welsh child should leave school with conversational Cymraeg skills.
Every welsh citizen should be able to deal with government through Cymraeg. | |

Like the billions wasted on illegal wars, the Liz Truss budget and failed Brexit.
Spending on the welsh language in non-league level spending trivia. | |

If yiu speak it,that’s great .
All. Y nephews and nieces have had it compulsory and everyone hated it .
Sorry to offend but that’s how many young people see it
I had it as BG for a year I think and dropped it for Spanish which was of more use .
We don’t agree but I respect your standpoint .
You keep it up personal unlike Lifelong who jumps in with his personal attacks on me like a Pavlov dog
Well done . Da iawn and nad llaw | |

Agreed - it needs to increase significantly.
We could get rid of the Royals and the House of Lords to pay for it. | |

It’s not about war…it’s not about Brexit so don’t try and deflect. It’s about alienating the majority of non Welsh speakers in their own country. | | | |

Are you fluent in Welsh, do you live in Swansea? | |

It makes no difference to me whether you accept it or not, you are speaking as someone who lives in England and will have limited if any interactions with the people I’m talking about. I live and work in West Wales and come across these individuals on a weekly basis, so I can actually comment as someone with first hand experience of the issue.
The Act has put Welsh and English on an equal footing which is to be welcomed, those who are bilingual have the best of both worlds and those who don’t feel comfortable and prefer using Welsh can use that language.
It’s because of views like yours on both sides of the debate that we have division, most can see the advantages of having 2 languages. | | | |

So is it the cost or the "alienation".? The alienated one are the older people who missed the boat. Times have changed.
It is about empathy with your surroundings. Swansea urban people do not have the empathy it seems. The are clear anti Welsh narratives. Anything money spent in Wales is a waste. Londoners do not think like this. For them any money spent anywhere else is a waste.
I do not want Wales to be like England and I do not a want the airport and the Senedd to be shutdown. | |

Money spent on things Wales really needs isn't wasted. Money thrown down the drain is wasted.
If people want to speak Welsh then great, it's their choice but they should be able to request contact be made in Welsh and save money on the bilingulaism that is pointless.
My wife answers the phone in work (NHS) and has to give the relevant greeting in Welsh and English but she cannot say any more than hello, good morning, good afternoon and goodbye so the rest of the convo is in English, again give people the option and provide the needed resources but don't spend more money than us necessary.
It's not about being anti Welsh, it's about spending our money better, where it's really needed. We have peiple desperate fro hospital treatment, desperate for decent homes or any home at all and desperate for jobs and the Senedd wastes money.
Westminster is no better and for all I know the Scottish and irish governments too. Politiccians are useless and they argue about pointless things. | | | |

What does it matter, i would feel the same about the Irish language.
Most Europeans have 2 languages.
Welsh speakers are just normal. | |

Why I asked, is Swansea is a English speaking City and always has been, are you fluent in Welsh? In all my time through work and socially I've never heard anybody converse in Welsh | |

Westminster wastes billions more than any other public institution.
They spend ten times more annually on the English Arts Council than is spent on the welsh language.
Lets hear you batter the English Arts council for hospitals not having funding then ?
You seem very quiet on that one.
I wonder why …..? | |

You must work inside an old red telephone box then.
I hear the language daily where i work.
Then again I dont work inside a telephone box.
You must be fecking amazed that people like Joe Allen, Ben Davies, Ben C, John Hartson, Dai Davies, and even Rubin Colwill all speak/spoke welsh.
Add in Aaron Ramsey for good measure.
Maybe you should change jobs ? | |

Just proves that Welsh is not necessarily the second spoken language in Wales. | | | |
