'Linguistic zealots': Tories slam plans to phase out English in Gwynedd schools

Linguistic zealots are those who force the oppressor's tongue on Wales. Welsh schools are the only schools which produce bilingual students. English schools produce monoglots.

Maybe we could introduce an English Not?

If something offends the disgusting Tories, its a good idea. If you want your child educated in English, it would be fair for the parents to pay for the extra tuition.

If there's one thing the CONservatives will conserve, it's the language of the invaders and conquerors as subsequently imposed on the governance of Cymru by Henry Tudor Mk. II's acts of union.

The Tories are becoming ever more desperate as they seek to appeal to the Reform voters, who chew their daily cud on GB News, Daily Telegraph, and that suburban coffee table favourite The Daily Mail. Is there a competition between Darren Millar and Andrew RT Davies over who can be the most virulently anti-Cymraeg?

Just having one system will improve taxpayer value for money so real Cons will approve.

Great news. All schools in Wales' should be Welsh medium schools. Kids will then be bilingual.

If you want parents to be able to choose what schools their kids go to Darren, then Slovak parents should be able to choose Swedish speaking schools for their kids. Bizzare huh? That's how you sound.

Good start from Gwynedd, let's see other counties following suit. Every young Welsh citizen should leave school able to speak the language, it's the least they should expect.

It's absolutely disgusting that a Conservative that isn't even from Gwynedd can seriously say that the oppressors English language education can remain when there is a majority Welsh speaking population in Gwynedd and this is an area that you need more than basic welsh skills to communicate within the community, I would get his argument if English medium education was removed from Monmouthshire but this isn't Monmouthshire this is Gwynedd. However he isn't from Monmouthshire either is he !!

Can we choose our own religious preferences please Rev Millar?

Quisling

I am an English speaking welshman And I agree with Darren millar

So every school in England that teaches solely English are also language zealots according to anti-Welsh bigot Darren Millar. Listen up. Cymraeg is the first language of the country. It used to be all of Wales until your sort tried to eradicate it. And he wonders why the Welsh Tories since the Inception of devolution have never even come close to becoming the Welsh Government. May that tradition continue! I find fear, hate , alternative facts and lying is a virtue to most right-wing politicians, especially in the era of Trumpism they have become emboldened . They always seem to attack the poor, unemployed and most vulnerable in society. Also, those who speak their native language usually are targets too along with black & Asian people and those who follow the teaching of Islam. A Tory tick box of sorts. Oh, less we forget. Gypsies. I know that's a sore subject for the Welsh Tories seeing their Anglophile poster boy former Welsh Secretary & former aid to Andrew RT Davies David TC Davies hateful leaflet campaign towards the Gypsy community of Monmouth. And speaking about hatemongers. Old farmer Giles with a bout of piles Andrew RT Davies Islamophobic comments comes to fore. Bit like piles. Both are aggressive and a pain in the Arsenal. Apparently his prejudices stretch to football too. BOT: What is it with the rabid right and hating things? Either they need to work harder or simply get a hobby. Too much time on their hands. I know? Lightbulb moment!! Travelling's a good one. Yes, travelling. See the world. I wish they'd all sod off to Antarctica and leave us to fix the problems they've caused. Apologies in advance to any Penguins affected. No doubt they'll hate on you too.

Politicians say we are a bilingual country. This is the way to achieve this, otherwise we are a country where some of us can speak two languages, but have to defer to our second language to communicate with the majority.

For far too long have we had to put up with Tory nonsense ,it was their insist as nice that all teachers in Welsh schools teaching Welsh should be replaced by little Englander teacher teaching only English ,and all official business to be conducted in English could you imagine those little Englanders going to France and doing the same thing there trying to replace a Nations language with a foreign one like English the audacity and exceptionalism of the English is beyond belief.
