My Son brought home a "Santa card" he made today for Christmas.

Now this is nice, after all , he is 4 now and at reception and gets the whole Santa thing.......

However, this card is only available in 2 languages.........(serious)

English and Welsh...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly, why the heck Welsh??? How many Welsh people actually came to England ( well actually I mean Stafford, cuz Stafford aint as nice as they want you to think !!!!)?? (and if you did what the hell was you thinking !!!!)

Second, I am very sure that Ethnic groups are gonna whine about this, regardless if they celebrate Christmas or not !!!!

and lastly, what about our Euro buddies??????? Lucky for me, I know how to go German at Christmas......Being from a Germanic background.......(Germans have the best xmas imo)

But seriously.........What the heck? Have any other parents had this sort of junk forced upon them this year?

I think it's disgusting !!

The reclamation of our homeland was meant to be a secret until we had established ourselves into the fabric of English society, and were ready to usurp the Crown!!

Darned Quisling !!

I'll have to speak to your local Free Welsh Army representative !!

BTW our local architect has "Safety Signs" in English, Welsh, Polish and Urdu In that order!!

For a mother tongue Welsh speaker to need to correct the English in their own language.... the above should read....

"Already the problem's starting"

As in "the problem is starting"

As for the Scots, they're far enough away until such time as we re-take England!!

We'll just have to re-build the wall a bit further south

To be honest you can keep anything south of Newcastle & Carlisle.

The obvious flaw in your plan though is the Cornish question. What about them?

Welsh the Official Language of Wales.
It is also a Legal recognised language in the UK.
It has equal standing in Wales with English.
Most Government leaflets have to be printed in Welsh
and all official letters and leaflets in Wales must be sent in both languages,
that includes all DVLA to with licences MOT's , Road signs etc printed in both. (Welsh being printed, even on roads above the English version here)

Great news.
