It's endlessly amusing how many monoglot speakers of English (!) have come to the conclusion that, because they don't know how Welsh is pronounced, Welsh spelling is unreliable and chaotic.

Keep this in mind if you're ever tempted to suppose that the average person is good at reasoning.

Starmer hates Scotland and Wales but is quite happy to take our resources. UK is fecked along with their best buddies across the pond.

What is the point of devolved government then.
This is a direct attack on Welsh democracy.

Could this be Starmer and his right leaning centralist labour party preparing for a kicking in May.

Wales’ democratic deficit was simple: decisions made far away, consequences felt here. Devolution and the Senedd aimed to close that gap and give Wales a voice in shaping its own future. Explore more on the Talking Wales Podcast.

This is the story of thousands of us in Wales. A missing generation, or two, who were told Welsh was backwards, a dead language that will never benefit you. Like Dan, I picked it up during lockdown through online lessons with DysguCymraeg. Best thing I ever did, as I now speak Cymraeg with my girls!

And when Wales does reach the UK media, it’s usually a negative story. The recent Caerphilly vote was a rare positive one, and that wasn’t given the attention it deserved!!

Wales is talked about often β€” but rarely on its own terms.

Welsh voices aren’t absent. They’re filtered, flattened, or ignored unless they fit UK-wide narratives shaped elsewhere.
