Cymru
.....and the Scots don't lead the way, they came from Ireland, were taken over very early by the Normans: Wallace was of a Welsh family; Bruce was Norman; Stuart Breton. It was as though the Norman 'Lords' of Glamorgan had taken over Wales and rebelled against the king of England, which is what basically happened in Scotland, which if you remember was Caledonia, it's only Cymru which has stayed an historical entity since before the Roman invasion. We were annexed by a Welsh king of England because rightly or wrongly he thought it was in our interest. The Welsh bourgeoisie agreed with him leading to the Welsh running England, Anglicising their names and moving their seats to England so there is no more any trace of their heritage. You who have stayed have an ancient heritage to be proud of that doesn't only belong in museums, why be proud of an attachment to a foreign culture moreso than your own? I don't get it, and if things stay this way never will. Bi-lingualism exists today allowing Cymraeg to take its rightful place in Welsh society so that no-one needs to be threatened anymore on either side of the argument. And no, North Walian first language Welsh speakers never spent their time in the pubs, cafes and shops speaking a second language English whilst lying in wait for non- Welsh speakers to turn up a few times a year so that they could deliberately turn to their first language Welsh. There is so much mistrust yet we are all Welsh, I wish I could say together.
