We're seeing clips of white men chanting for England but plenty of white Welsh people hold the same views as these nobs. Don't watch them while simultaneously reassuring yourself that it's just an English problem. This is where we've gone wrong in the past. Racism is everywhere.

How someone could refer to learning any language as "low reward" is utterly beyond me.
I still think learning a not-very-widely-spoken language is a lot of effort for low reward. It does not follow that I hate Wales, the Welsh, the Welsh language or its speakers. I do not hate performative offence-takers, though I’ve muted a few. I do not even hate cottage cheese

I need to apologise to @YesCymru and all of you who may have been swayed to consider supporting independence based on my impassioned views. I take it all back. I've just seen a photo of Carrie Symonds in a Wales hat and it's made me realise how much the union means to me. Soz.

Currently dating someone who complained that he was wasting bananas and it transpired he was buying too many at a time because he’d never realised that you can break off just the amount you need from the bunch at the supermarket. I don’t know what to do with this information.

To some of you, tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday. To others, St Davis’s Day. But to Welsh mothers, it’s our time to get the perfect photo of our kids dressed in traditional costume, at any cost. (pic taken on 1st March during Beast from the East, 2018)
