Here’s another pearler,a Welsh person living in Wales can’t buy a house unless they speak Welsh now.
Classic.
The council said it would not be illegal to make 'able to speak Welsh' a condition for the letting of social housing

No surprise!
Is it any wonder bearing in mind the 'cherry-picking' isolationist/yokel idiots, who will sever Welsh NHS from all 'outside' specialty health services, whilst thinking they can enter re-negotiations with a begging bowl, desperate for for English services. And all at the very same time that they plan to charge England for Welsh water. LOL!!!!
This is the standard of oddball-crackpot Welsh speaker that we are talking about here.
I used to compete during the 1970's with all the other intelligent English speaking kids in Eisteddfods', we were judged in the early preliminaries in places like Loughor Welfare Hall and Dynevor School.
It was rather noticeable, that despite making an effort to learn what is a minority language, we were somewhat second class and ignored by the first-language Welsh speaking clique within.
And onto Twin Town actor Keith Allen, whom appeared on Saturday afternoon radio to state his contempt for likeminded “them and us” Welsh language snobbery from the Aberystwyth/Ceredigion crackpots who happen to speak a 'different' type of Welsh to that of others. Keith Allen sounded extremely unimpressed by the Welsh language.
In fact when learning from standard comprehensive issue book, I was surprised to realise that the Welsh that my Hendy grandmother spoke was different to the 'grammatic' Welsh that appeared in books.
What an embarrassment i.e. a country with differing versions of its so called native tongue!
And then there was 'soft-mutation' that many of us encountered whilst learning, which makes about as much sense as wheeling a cement mixer up a sand-dune instead instead of going around it. LOL!!!!
