Yes/No?
Eric, it's highly subsidised nonsense. A folly pushed by a minority of demented nationalists.
No one in the non-Welsh speaking parts of Wales i.e. the majority of the population, are remotely interested in it. You can't reinvent a medieval Celtic culture and expect millions in Wales to just fall into line and support it. It's completely divisive.

You're half right, however you clearly don't know the details of the act.
I'm supposed to answer my phone in both Welsh and English, but to avoid this just grunt my name. If someone wants to speak to me in Welsh, there is no obligation on me as an individual to do so, they can either put up with my pigeon Welsh or I transfer them to a Welsh speaker.

By the way, I'd be interested in understanding what splodge's stance is on that Welsh choir who sing songs in Welsh outside the market in support of the Palestinians

No I'll expose you for the simpleton that you are.
Three threads since the 22nd of June. That's your contribution to a Political Forum which you infest day and night.
Three whole thread topics in nearly four months.
I'm really impressed that it was that many.
But hundreds of posts following me around like a little puppy.

Frog spawn would have come up with more topics to discuss in the same period. Hell I could have given a laptop to a chimp in Bristol Zoo and had more topics and better debates with in the same period of time that you've had to make a contribution on here. Do you think maybe the Political Forum is just not for you?

You effectively bring nothing to this forum. We all know your stand points.
Same shit, different day.
I could have told the forum you would brown nose russia before you started to defend them killing women, children, families and the injured.
Have a sit back and consider if you really are so morally upstanding. You have the least neutral set of opinions on here.
Most on here would accept the west have carried out war crimes. But you seem to think the sun shines of the mullahs etc arse. Even after they've hanged gays from cranes.
You create the most boring threads. But they get a reaction. Like those 15 year old dweebs with 20k twitter followers spreading white supremacy.
I don't want to follow you around complaining about your posts. But they are so boring.

In Splottys defence, he does make up some hilarious bullshit stories from time to time.

Welsh medium education is in such high demand that they're running out of teachers, and offering silly money to get them in.
It would seem, as usual, that you're talking shit

Forcing a tribal language down the throats of children is not going to make for a viable future economy in Wales.
Face it the language is in intensive care (every survey shows the crisis and decline of Welsh) and being kept on a drip feed of taxpayer's money, money that could be better used in areas of real need.

Says the man forcing his opinions on everyone else.....
Do you believe that education should be solely linked to economics then?
Shall we scrap history lessons? Or English literature?
Sure, PART of the need for education is to prepare children for work but it is also to teach culture and broaden young minds.
You've made your position very clear on the issues that are important to, and I suspect nothing that anyone says or does on here is going to change that fact.

Nothing is forced TH63, it is for others to agree or not as they see fit. I never object to countervailing views and opinions as far as subjects and topics go.
All political forums are going to get completely polarised points of views.

Agreed.

Really? I just float some articles along with my own views on issues. I'm not responsible for the responses to those.
If I see something that does not interest me I just ignore it, rather than respond just for the sake of it.
I don't feel compelled to respond to everything that I read on here or the main message board.

by virtue of demand, there is nothing being forced. just because you don't like it, doesn't mean the (vast) majority of people can't disagree

No, I think you are saying we should do away with the Welsh language, without actually saying it. You can spend hours bumping your gums about this issue, saying this is wrong, this is forced, dying language, tribal language, no-one uses it, etc etc. We know you harbor a desire to get rid of the Welsh language but you don't seem to want to say that, yet when I ask if it's then ok for Welsh speakers to use it, you don't seem to think so.
Should the Welsh language be kicked into touch? Yes or no? We know your answer, I'm just curious as to whether you have the balls to say so, instead of hiding behind insidious comments.
