    As an Englishman , I disagree, most couldn’t give a flying fuck about whether the Welsh want to learn Welsh, only attention seeking wankers who like to stir up shit say shit like this. Fuck them

      I mean the point is more that at one time clearly most of the English wanted that considering a system to defeat the Welsh language was created and adopted by your progenitors.

        I’m not trying to defend the decisions of the government’s of old, but your comment reads like the English are all throthing at the mouth at the thought of the Welsh learning Welsh, when the reality is most English people know a Welsh person and for the vast majority of us there is no animosity towards the Welsh or their language. I’ve never heard anyone even talk about it negatively in real life, it’s such a rage bait comment and an opinion that only someone devoid of reality would make.

        How can anyone hate a language where the translation for microwave is popty ping.

            How would you or I even know what my forefathers thought, the opinions of the common Englishman in the 1850s aren’t really popular reading. Hell, there’s a good chance some of my forefathers were Welsh and Irish anyway. The opinions of the commoner rarely reflected what the government’s of old decided, considering every man didn’t even get a vote until 1918 the government’s of old didn’t give a fuck what the common man thought anyway so there isn’t much reason to believe my forefathers gave a fuck whether the Welsh spoke Welsh either. I’d imagine they gave more of a fuck about earning enough to pay their taxes and rent just like the common man does now.

            It’s clear you have some animosity toward the English, that’s fine. Have a good evening.

                  Where? Not trying to be a dick I’m just not seeing it.

                  This is also not xenophobia. It’s an exclamation of exasperation in the face of someone doing a very good impression of being a brick wall.

      Unfortunately those pricks are the reason why outside of Football, waiving the red and white is embarrassing or cringey.

      I also dislike seeing the national shame about the English flag, tending to opt for the Union one.
