Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.

“What a lovely forest, pity there’s trees in it.”
What a nice island you got there, sure would be a shame if someone were to create an artificial famine, innit?
As an Englishman , I disagree, most couldn't give a flying fuck about whether the Welsh want to learn Welsh, only attention seeking wankers who like to stir up shit say shit like this. Fuck them
I'm not trying to defend the decisions of the government's of old, but your comment reads like the English are all throthing at the mouth at the thought of the Welsh learning Welsh, when the reality is most English people know a Welsh person and for the vast majority of us there is no animosity towards the Welsh or their language. I've never heard anyone even talk about it negatively in real life, it's such a rage bait comment and an opinion that only someone devoid of reality would make.
How can anyone hate a language where the translation for microwave is popty ping.
How would you or I even know what my forefathers thought, the opinions of the common Englishman in the 1850s aren't really popular reading. Hell, there's a good chance some of my forefathers were Welsh and Irish anyway. The opinions of the commoner rarely reflected what the government's of old decided, considering every man didn't even get a vote until 1918 the government's of old didn't give a fuck what the common man thought anyway so there isn't much reason to believe my forefathers gave a fuck whether the Welsh spoke Welsh either. I'd imagine they gave more of a fuck about earning enough to pay their taxes and rent just like the common man does now.
It's clear you have some animosity toward the English, that's fine. Have a good evening.
@angrilyeatingmuffins I’ve replied to you elsewhere reminding you not to get aggressive, now you’re being xenophobic too. I’m deleting your comments. Please don’t break the rules of the community again or you’ll be banned. Thank you.
Sounds like you have some pent up anger there buddy, you should probably seek some support. Do you also hate the boogeyman?
Unfortunately those pricks are the reason why outside of Football, waiving the red and white is embarrassing or cringey.
I also dislike seeing the national shame about the English flag, tending to opt for the Union one.
Well and the Scottish
