You know what Fuck him.
people can be free to speak whatever language they want and if people cant understand it then theres subtitles or multi-lingual signs. No language on Earth must be subsided because people cant understand it.
It's bonkers. If they interviewed an old indian granny in Coventry...and provided subtitles, no one would bat an eyelid. But dare to acknowledge that areas in North West Wales are predominantly Welsh speaking as a first language, and we have people hyperventilating. And why? It's a living language in the UK. Ignorant and entitled at the least, and prejudiced at most.
I do, but the 'it' I hate is mainly myself, I was well on the way to being fairly competent on a few European languages when I was younger, But I didn't keep it up and never got the final push of living somewhere I had to use the language more.
It's the speed that gets me. I used to be able to watch (some) movies in German or French without subtitles (though never managed it with Italian or Spanish). I could probably get the gist of most lines of dialogue... eventually, but by that time I've missed the next three lines.
I wish I lived in a country that other languages were common and that nobody complained about hearing Welsh on the BBC.
Some football fans were getting annoyed at Spurs player,Ben Davies, giving an interview in Welsh to a Welsh TV channel in the World Cup.Complained all over Twitter. Bizarrely, Spurs French player Hugo Lloris, giving an interview to a French Tv channel in French was fine though. Haha

I think there probably would be eyelids barred but very likely from similar people who complained this time.
To be fair I won't drive in Wales anymore. All the signs are in foreign and I'm not reading the bloody subtitles. Edit: It's a joke you fucking morons
Paid a becso/don't worry i got it
I thought it was funny.
I know, we were only joking, no need to be sensitive now ;)
Don't you just hate it when they speak French in France?

And I bet you’ll be sorely missed too.
Ti di colli'r jôc, boi
What have carrots got to do with it?
I appreciate this.
This is like an article from the onion. You couldn't make the English up if you tried.
Hahahahaha
Imagine being offended by someone speaking a language that has been spoken on this island for longer than English has.
