No. Firstly, there is a lot of debate as to whether nationalism is an ideology or just a concept that gets added/used by parties. Regardless of that, nationalism is neither left nor right wing as it is not a class based conception of politics much like how environmentalism is neither left nor right wing as that is not based on the traditional class cleavage. As a result you got a lot of flavours of nationalism that can be utilised by left or right, for instance you get the extreme blood and soil style nationalism associated with Nazism and is more commonly found among right wing parties. Plaid Cymru's nationalism is more inclusionary and not based on ethnicity or race which is why it fits in nicely with their left wing politics, they are based around the idea of self determination rather than expansion or cultural superiority. They are a socialist party who seek self determination.
Are there people in Plaid who hate the English? Of course there are, but there are nutjobs in every party.
Wonder what will happen to Dictator Duckford, if the teetotal barsteward tries to enter a pub in Wales.
Nothing too wrong with Mark Drakeford, using the English as guinea pigs more than once over the last year or so seems a good move to me. We can watch Johnson the buffoon foolhardily jump the gun masquerading as the people’s hero when it’s a dangerous bluster playing with folk’s lives. I’m quite ok waiting and staying above ground and breathing.
Mr Cautious won't let the pubs open because, in his eyes, people can pop down the Bay with a few cans and drink as much as they want with no social distancing, and pop a few 'laughing gas canisters' as well. Seems OK, and if our hospitality industry goes down the tubes so be it.
I was in a pub in 'guinea pig' England last week and the safety rules and regs in place were first class and the beer was good too.
You're Andrew "arty" Davies and I claim my £5!!
Are you suggesting that regulations/laws should be changed because a tiny fraction of the population break said regulations/laws?
Looking at the footage at the time it looked to me that a sizeable number down the Bay weren't old enough to go into pubs so how would opening such venues stop such gatherings?
I suspect you've inhaled a few too many "laughing gas canisters."
