Wales treated with disdain by England
MANY in the Welsh electorate need to wake up and realise that the core of the UK/English body politic and its media regard the Welsh as harmless idiots who will do as they are told. Brexit is one example, it was English-driven.
The Welsh are not to be feared like the Scots – a popular Sunday newspaper published today (May 2), is headlined with the words, “Billions for the Scots as PM aims to save Union”. Wales as usual remains anonymous.
What better illustration of this attitude towards the Welsh was given in the English media by reference to the dialogue that occurred on today’s Andrew Marr’s programme.
Marr was about to interview Adam Price when there was a technical break-down in the mutual transmission. Marr said: “Can you hear me asking my ‘intelligent’ questions” as if he was talking to some idiot. When the communication was later restored the dignified approach by Adam Price, which continued throughout the interview, was prefaced by Adam saying: “We often struggle in Wales to make our voice heard.”
By and large, it seems, the Welsh, have very little confidence in their own abilities for governance. It is hard to countenance that the Scots and Northern Irish would tolerate the existence of a party who wished to abolish their respective assemblies. Yet, Wales is safe ground for what is effectively an Englishdriven politic party, viz. Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party, to exist.
This party is not only hostile to the Welsh Assembly but to its native language which has existed in these islands long before the English language. It should be renamed the “Abolish Wales Party” because it can be discerned by its core cultural beliefs that their members prefer to be English.
The Welsh Conservative leader constantly harps on about the efficacy of the English “road map” and its “Vaccine Minister”. A Welsh Government has dispelled the nonsense for the expensive need for such a minister and in addition applied its own competent strategies when, by some distance, it has outperformed all other countries in the UK in determining the efficacy of its actions.
