Lets see how we get on with the first point in my statement regarding the repression of the Welsh language (which I suspect you must already know about but are just looking for something to nitpick)

Here's a link that sums up a shameful part of history that should never be forgotten: The punishment of The Welsh Not - http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/history/s...ducation.shtml

Once you've read that, please feel free to come back and nitpick it in some way.
I think you will find that the prevailing thinking of the Welsh middle classes in the 19th century that to succeed in the empire you needed to speak english. It's no difference to the frenchification of brussels at the same time
