What is Wales if not the people who live here?<br /><br /><i>"...spare a thought for those that share a different culture, a different language [...] to your own"</i> Like the non-UK EU citizens being forced to register to stay in the country which they have, entirely legally, made their home, you mean? Or are you, as I suspect, referring to those who speak only one of the languages of Wales rather than both?<br /><br /><i>"...it's time for a younger generation of people, [...], to grab the reins and lead us on to a splendid future"</i> All in favour of that, but are we talking about the same people here? Do you really mean those same young people who voted overwhelmingly to retain a future in an open and welcoming Europe or only the minority who supported an insular isolated future on a gated offshore island?<br /><br /><i>"I think yesterday's events in the House of Commons was very much the start of a glorious future we can all look forward to."</i> Thank you for illustrating so well the fantasy land which Brexiteers inhabit, and the exceptionalism of Anglo-British not-nationalists-at-all.John Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447224248021209852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-28152206336448368422019-01-30T08:21:11.238+00:002019-01-30T08:21:11.238+00:00Forget Wales, start thinking about the people of W...Forget Wales, start thinking about the people of Wales. It's these people that matter!<br /><br />And whilst you're thinking about the people of Wales spare a thought for those that share a different culture, a different language and a different vision of the future to your own. <br /><br />Your ideas, dreams, hopes and aspiration have long since withered, it's time for a younger generation of people, people who live in Wales but may have little or no idea of your view of the history of Wales, to grab the reins and lead us on to a splendid future!<br /><br />I think yesterday's events in the House of Commons was very much the start of a glorious future we can all look forward to. Different to what you may have hoped, but as much good for you as it is for me!<br /><br />Rejoice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
