I think you're probably overstating the level of support for independence in Wales. It's still far from a majority and it's always difficult to overturn the status quo. A left leaning public does not necessarily equal support for independence. Many Labour voters/members would be opposed to independence.
You don't mention what is probably the most significant barrier - the border. As we've seen in Ireland there is not a simple solution to the problem. If you want to avoid a barrier at the border, you have to enter into a free trade agreement with the UK. One that would be weighted in the UK's favour and would undermine many of the freedoms you seek.
If Wales rejoined the EU, then a hard border would be even more necessary and may well be enough of an issue to hold up the question of Welsh membership indefinitely.
My honest opinion is that both Wales and Scotland (Ireland is a slightly different case) would be best served by some sort of "devo max". Where the parliament has powers over more or less everything except defense and foreign policy. This would give you the best of both worlds - having close ties with the UK and having your votes actually mean something in terms of influence on life in Wales/Scotland.
If, as I hope, the UK one day rejoins the EU, a United Kingdom with a largely independent Wales and Scotland would be in a strong position going forward.
Just my few thoughts!
The plural of Lego is Lego. 😜 Well done though!
When you finish college - keep making/playing/studying music. Play more rugby - when you're too old to play you'll wish you had. Don't sell your mandolin or your acoustic guitar. You'll regret them both in later years. Buy bitcoin.
It took my sleep deprived brain far too long (less than a second, but still) to realise this wasn't a genuine name change.
Ah memories! I wrote the project for my GCSE computer studies on this. I also wrote my friends project for 20 quid since our teacher was rubbish and hadn't actually taught anyone to program. Most of the other kids figured it out, but my friend was clueless and didn't want to completely fail the subject.
Reading "A Tale of Two Cities" for the first time.
Is that an N2 or N4? I used to have an N2, but I sold it to buy a tele. Lots of things I liked about it, though.
My favourite drink after water (which is genuinely my favourite drink) is coffee. I don't think, however, that I would like to only drink coffee, so I suppose I will have to choose tea. Especially if I can have any variant
If I have to choose specifically then I'll say decaf Yorkshire tea.
I think it depends on your country. Here in the UK, for example, a college is usually an alternative to a school for GCSEs or A-levels. It can also be for specific vocational training - e.g. art college.
As far as I can tell - in the US college & university are synonymous. They also often use school to refer to the same place.
In the UK, if someone asked you where you went to school, you would assume they wanted to know what secondary (high) school you went to. It would never occur to you that they meant uni!
It's good to be yourself. I hope one day you can be yourself with everyone else as well. 😜
Genuine question - how is this not racist?
