As a minimum it suggests it, I’d say.

I don’t think we’re going to have admit 70 million people from the EU.

Fair play, in some stiff competition within GeeBeebies that is the most ridiculous headline I’ve ever read.

I see Trump has blamed that awful air crash on DEI practices

Politicising death.

There’ll be the usual excuses trotted out - he didn’t mean it etc.

In principle I like these big scale infrastructure projects. Our political system doesn’t reward long term plans so they hardly ever get done.

The worry as always is we’ll make an expensive mess of it.

Belarus and Russia. The only European countries not signed up the the ECHR.

Maybe there are more admirers on here than the obvious.

But they all cost money in different ways to sustain our history and culture.

There are certainly more and less effective ways to promote the language. I guess that overall I think it’s worth it.

I’ll continue to be devil’s advocate…

What else shall we take money from to support the ailing health service?

Musesms?
Libraries?
Arts?
Youth organisations?
The voluntary sector?
Historical archives?

The point I’m trying to make is if we only consent to taxes being spent on things we agree with we’re going to be perpetually disappointed.

Whether individual things to promote the Welsh language are value for money are different arguments.

I think that’s perfectly reasonable WR.

It shouldn’t be long before Artificial Intelligence will be able to lighten the load pretty considerably.

We just need to get rid of Natural Stupidity at the same time 🤣

I think it’s common sense that the language needs help to survive and conversations about the best/most cost effective way of doing it should be welcomed.

I can’t understand what any Welsh person would want it to die out.

Maybe I’ve got it wrong and thats not what some on here want shrug🤷🏻

First mission is not to get an absolute tuning in France.

If you love the game and have five minutes, watch the most recent Toulouse highlights. It’s an unmatched sport when played like this.

Few bits in the pipeline.

Ocean Colour Scene in April, then Supergrass and EMF (my guilty pleasure) in May. Oasis ticket in the bag for July.

It’s pretty much what the judge said.

It is a broad definition tbf.

Direct from the judge:

Justice Goose confirmed the offences did not reach the legal definition of terrorism because he did not kill to further a political, religious or ideological cause.

However, he told the packed courtroom that whether the "motivation was terrorism or not misses the point".

The definition of terrorism is pretty wide. You could argue this one meets it too:

An even if it was all true, we need to look at why a small number of idiots see fit try try and burn alive innocent people to show their disgust.

It's good to have the discussion around the issues caused by the vacuum of information following the arrest, but I'm still asking myself what difference would it have made?

The trial wasn't prejudiced, the right person was caught and recieved an almost unprecedented sentence.

I'm afraid that for some part of the anger is he wasn't the illegal, small boat migrant they were so desperate for him to be.

As I said Cat, I don't know the reasons but less kids in school would mean less learning it.

I'm just keen for the language not to die out.

Any minority language needs support so I'm ok with (the majority) of the promotion of it.

It doesn't seem to say why the number has fallen.

Could be just be down to falling birthrate.
