Slowed down or speeded up, the Welsh national anthem should be scrapped altogether.

[Splott David]

It is completely and morally wrong to suggest that people in Wales shouldn't be able to speak in Welsh. Whether or not the person listening can understand is a different matter.

Nonsense Eric, it goes to the very heart of the problem, with activists and former cottage burners, trying to foist a medieval tribal language that was used by a bunch of poorly educated illiterate villagers onto nearly three million people in modern day Wales.

The responsibility for communication lies with the person who is the communicator. We have no Welsh speaking monoglots in Wales, they all understand English.

My argument was made in the original post. Read the chronology of the thread correctly please. The comment about castles came after my response not before it.

You're surely not serious?
Gabalphaville did bring up the subject of castles to which you, bizarrely, mentioned that Henry VII was Welsh.

Do you the think the Welsh invited the English to rule over them? And do you think the English built a bunch of castles because they thought they'd look aesthetically pleasing in the future?

Henry VII was Welsh.

And round and round we go......

You omitted again. What have I always said about omission?
I responded to this statement:

"Do you the think the Welsh invited the English to rule over them?"

Henry VII was Welsh.

What bit of "HE WAS BORN 200 YEARS AFTER THE ENGLISH CONQUERED WALES" are you struggling with?

There we go then.

Splott wins again.

He's always right.

Even when he's wrong.

End of thread.

Arabic was formed by barely literate tribal people.

As were most asian languages.

Look up the make up of Pakistan:

Punjabi 48%, Sindhi 12%, Siraiki (a Punjabi variant) 10%, Pashtu 8%, Balochi 3%, Hindko 2%, Brahui 1%, Burushaski, and other 8%

Should they all just call it day on their different variaties and speak punjabi?.

I don't see why there is a need to wash over history. To kill a language as if it never existed.

You do realise that Splott once stood behind someone from Pakistan in a queue at the post office.

Prepare to be educated young man.

and it's these posts that make me question whether you're a troll or not

Question a way all you like I have a perfectly legitimate political view on this issue.

It never ceases to amaze me how posters will respond to threads on here by doing everything that they possibly can to avoid addressing the actual topic that was initially posted.

Was there anything in paragraphs 2 to 55 of the OP that were about the anthem?

The anthem is symbolic of the absurdity of foisting a medieval Celtic tribal language onto people in the modern era, when 85% of them cannot read, speak or write in Welsh.

He's a royalist so probably GSTQ.

Seriously? Feck. So he doesn't mind having an unelected, undemocratic, institution foisted on us then? That's interesting.

It's always a case of do as I say not as I do with Splotty.

Anything off the Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous album.

Trublue, if I need you to speak on my behalf I'll let you know. But seeing as so far you seem incapable of putting any topics of your own on the political forum, I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you son.

You and a few other online clowns seem more preoccupied with attacking posters, than contributing on topics or issues with posts of your own.

You clearly aren't responding to my comments. You never have directly answered my questions actually. Too scared to admit what you stand for is garbage? And that there are contradictions left right and centre?

hmmmmm

Anyway:

foist
past tense: foisted; past participle: foisted
impose an unwelcome or unnecessary person or thing on.

I think you'll find the vast majority of welsh people are happy with the current set up.
