Anti-Welsh language graffiti appears across seaside town

Reform types or kippers? ARTD been there for a day out?

Thanks for the report. I've just signed up to Mudiad Eryr Wen

Eluned Morgan this morning labelled Plaid Cymru as "seperatists", making "Welsh" Labour just as culpable as Reform/Con in encouraging people to behave in this way

Ah, a nice little reminder to turn out in force on May 7th to vote for your nation, national identity and national language and send the message to this filth that WE DO NOT WANT THEM HERE!

The Abolish Wales party have started campaigning already.

Defacing any sign is vandalism pure and simple.

Tenby sold it's soul long ago. It's time to take it back. Independence is the only way.

Cowards, let them show their faces so our youngest generations can understand how not to be. These people are racists and are the root of hatred, for every sign they spray the stronger we Welsh will be and just to remind those idiots that if they took one look at the castles of Wales and why they’re there then they will soon learn that a tin a paint is nothing to us. Cymru am byth!

Looks like someone has been out in force trying to reinforce the little England beyond Wales narrative. The odd thing is, some of these people will have welsh ancestry and are already using welsh words in their daily life. Words like Avon (afon) and Coombe (cwm) are welsh words just spelled in english. It is laughable that someone is trying to assign the act to Reform uk as if they are an anti welsh outfit. I wouldn't have thought Llyr Powell would have represented them in Caerffili if he thought so.

Tawt.

Non Welsh speakers repeatedly exhibit their jealousy of the bilinguals

This sort of thing is being fuelled by Trumpism is the USA and Farageism, its UK equivalent, on this side of the ocean. The way things currently seem to be going, I suspect that we'll be seeing more of this over the next year or two. And while it richly deserves to be robustly resisted, my hunch is that it actually has more sympathizers here than I'd like to see. The difference now is that for a long time these people kept their morose bigotry under wraps; but now, given the apparent surge in voter support for Farage across much of Britain, they now feel more free to express their bile in more militant ways.

This is a hate crime as much as the daubing and destroying of the Cofiwch Dryweryn monument a few years back by idiots. Unfortunately Britain's native language will always face prejudice by those with low IQ. Difference is. Cymraeg will outlive them all. It survived the Roman invasion. Germanic Saxon onslaught. The Norman French iron ring chokehold and the English Welsh Not. So some spotty monoglot with a spray can has no chance. Yma o hyd. #Cymraeg 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✊

This is how racists respond when they can’t get their own way. Farage and his English Nationalist far right hate has no place in Cymru. Just like the people of Caerphilly the vast majority of Welsh people will reject them in May

With the rise of the vile reform supporters in Cymru this does not come as a surprise. I

Im an Englishman 40 plus years living in Wales and my children are Welsh. The Welsh language diminishing is a catastrophe. I hear it and I feel home. I should have learnt it, I still have time. May God bless the Welsh.

"Shoved down their throats" That really is such a victim mindset phrase and it was pathetic when the Tories invented it in the 1970's. I'm always interested to hear other points of view on the matter, but your post is really just a lump of regurgitated nonsense propaganda from decades ago.. Either that or I'd say you're a bot.

Anyone carrying out stupid acts of vandalism Creates separation All the people of Wales must condemn I am Welsh born and bred and proud to shout it out loud I don't speak Welsh All people must stick together Wales has since the Senedd was formed gone backwards people who are proud to keep their native language must be Admired we all have choices I appreciate it's regional But We are all Welsh and together must work to get what was a far better Wales than before the Senedd that has failed Wales. We are all Taffies Whenever I was in the Navy if you were from the N.E S. or West of Wales.

Your on the wrong topic here this is about the Welsh Language not Plaid Cymru all Mainstream parties apart from Deform have a Welsh Language Policy

Fortunately, the 3 persons carrying out the hate crime appear to have kept their phones switched on and on their persons. Another 20 minutes and I should have names and addresses.

It literally costs the same per sign, but that's a pretty good effort at trying to be "edgy" and "relevant".

Please give us your personal experience of Cymraeg "being shoved down their throats by a minority of Welsh speakers."

When they apply welsh names to milford Haven and tenby which never had welsh names what do they expect. What a mockery of the proper local names

Funny how all the comments here (apart from the odd phrase) are in English!

Why would you want to eliminate the original British language. Are you anti-British?

No, let's make all signs Cymraeg only. If you are too stupid, lazy or arrogant to learn that "araf" means slow, or "dim parcio" means no parking, then take your holidays in england, or go and live there.

To make things worse, now Cardiff council are running a consultation to close down one of only 2 Welsh secondary schools in Cardiff, Bro Edern. They want to build another one in south Cardiff and merge them together. It is very discouraging to be made aware of this consultation. How is closing down a school to merge it in a city as large as Cardiff going to encourage parents to send their children half way across the city. The student will have to leave very early in the morning and come back juch later in the evening daily. This is pathetic and the Welsh language is now being shown two fingers by the Welsh Labour government .

I take it you never go on holiday overseas, if you do, how on earth do you manage??

That's a tail wagging the dog scenario. Putting the intrests of Seasonal visitors before the resident population.

Mwyaf maen nhw'n fandaleiddio ein hiaith ar arwyddbyst, mwyaf yn down ni'n nôl yn llawer gryfach. Wnân nhw byth dinistrio ein hiaith. Dan ni wedi goroesi ymdrechion llawer mwy ffïaidd yn y gorffennol, ac mae pawb sydd wedi trio dileu'r iaith oddi ar wyneb y ddaear wedi methu'n llwyr.

I cannot speak Welsh I was never taught but I'm Welsh from way back. How dare these people do this. If you go to richer Welsh areas you will be hard pushed to hear the local accent from business owners or second homers. This then causes Welsh to be pushed out. .

Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 will always be the best place to live. I live in Tenby and ive lived here all my life. Pembrokeshire is a beautiful place to live and visit. So don’t come here and spray graffiti everywhere. Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 people are real people and we respect our town etc…. Stay away you disgusting hypocrites.
