    It is about time this talking shop was closed down. What an embarrassment to Wales.
    Every large organisation governmental or private have brand guides on words to use or not use. I guarantee 100% the tories also have one.

    Articles like that are just there to wind up the gullible/elderly.

    As you say.

    Here are the style guides for gov.wales and gov.uk on which this ludicrous article was based.

    https://gov.wales/govwales-style-guide

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/style-gu...f-gov-uk-style

    Unsuprisingly the Welsh one significantly cribs from the English one. To take a couple of examples which appear in the Mail headline:

    Brexit

    Wales - Brexit has happened. Use transition period to refer to the time between 1 February and 31 December 2020.

    England - You can use the term ‘Brexit’ to provide historical context, but it’s better to use specific dates where possible. For example, use: ‘31 December 2020’ rather than ‘Brexit’ or ‘when the UK left the EU’ ‘before 31 December 2020’ rather than ‘during the transition period’ ‘after 1 January 2021’ rather than ‘after the transition period’

    UK Government

    Wales -Never HM government.

    England - Never HM government.


    Cue apoplexy on the Dordogne about who voted for that lot!
