He is nothing to do with Plaid Cymru. What was his game, as a Tory, in barracking a Plaid Cymru rep over that? <br /><br />It would be very interesting, considering who is influential in Plaid Cymru, what would happen if a Plaid member pulled up another member for not speaking Welsh. It wouldn't be possible now. You couldn't do it front of Leanne or McEvoy.<br /><br />Sian's point on how badly Welsh is taught in English medium schools is completely sound. Also her point on describing Leanne as a "Welsh learner" is sound. Plaid Cymru does not believe everyone has to learn Welsh, only that everyone is given the opportunity to choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486444572699479234.post-82950923897044407542015-04-21T11:00:03.174+01:002015-04-21T11:00:03.174+01:00Thanks for the response, Sian and please excuse my...Thanks for the response, Sian and please excuse my rather abrasive tone.<br />I note that things appear to be going well in Llanelli with Plaid's campaign. I understand and respect your differences with the party in recent years, but would regard it as a tragedy if Plaid were to just miss out on this seat and end decades of Labour hegemony on the area. Could you possibly find it in yourself to stand aside just this once? A lot to ask, I know but, perhaps, worth it to see the Labour Party ousted.<br />RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-486444572699479234.post-1859163208945495122015-04-13T18:08:04.768+01:002015-04-13T18:08:04.768+01:00Thanks for your comment Dr Tyler.

Perhaps I do have the power to magically make people act like idiots in public? This could explain a lot about the the meetings of Carmarthenshire County Council too..

I have remained a member, on and off, to the present day. I have experienced being a Plaid member as a non-Welsh speaker, a learner and as a fluent speaker. I have been an active member in branches throughout Wales. I can honestly say that I have never once experienced anything negative regarding my linguistic ability from any Plaid member, nor have I witnessed any such negative behavior or heard of it from the hundreds I have met and known in the Party. Regarding my personal linguistic journey, I only ever received encouragement. I can only conclude Sian, that it has something to do with you.<br />Dr Robert Llewellyn TylerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
