Nigel Farage accused of 'showing his true colours' after calling Welsh people ‘foreign speakers’

This should be the first story on all Welsh news programmes today - a prospective Prime Minister calling Welsh speakers foreigners. Imagine if Rhun ap Iorwerth or Eluned Morgan called English born people living in Wales "foreigners"? I have no doubt the BBC and ITV would be all over it - let alone the Daily Mail and GB News.

Nigel Farage's remarks about the Welsh language being "foreign" is deeply insulting but what else would you expect from this mule. The Welsh language is an integral part of not only Wales’ heritage but the whole of Britain with roots that date back over two thousand years.

Eluned strikes a neat pose... but in reality it is little more than that. With Farage we know what we are up against, pure unadulterated Anglo supremacist cr*p. With Eluned and her ilk we get loads of patronising twaddle and minimal active support. Farage's antics serve a dual purpose. They show him up as irrelevant to our nation's predicament and needs, and also serve to draw out the performative side of the established Bay parties who seldom have an original thought but enjoy spouting bile about "the enemy"

Colonial contempt from a soulless racist scumbag who also believes antisemitic taunts are acceptable. It's about time this modern day Oswald Mosley faced his own Cable Street.

Reform to the core. But what would any reform member, councillor, MP, MS be prepared to take. They will defend this. This is what they are.

Unfortunately he'll be supported in this, the brits have been programmed all of their lives to treat us, and their other occupied lands as lower than them. Being racist towards the Welsh is just the way they're bred, it's the way both the mainstream media and social media are set by their rulers so don't expect any apology, any kind of disciplinary action or any kind of cessation of the Wales hating. Reform supporters are bitter Wales haters, and they'll continue their verbal attacks on our culture untouched

I’ve got a screenshot of the Guardian illustration on my phone ready for when Reform comes knocking.

Targetting the 'hate Wales' vote. There really are only two languages in Farijworld - English & Foreign.

English Nige kicking cacka around as usual. Come election day, let’s make sure that he gets a mouthful of it. Just showing off his ignorance and stupidity.

If any language is foreign in the UK it's English for Welsh was spoken on this island about a millennium before English emerged from Anglo-Saxon (11th - 12th Century). Thanks to the Normans it then incorporated between 7,000 and 10,000 words that were either French or modified French words (verifiable via Google). It's probably the most mongrel language in the world.

If he's happy to say that for £100, imagine what he's happy to say for 100 times that.

Will say anything for a quick buck, imagine if someone offered lots of money what he'd say...

Like most Imperialists he is a complete ignoramus.

Its the oldest surviving language of this islands of Britain and it was spoken in a Celtic form before the arrival of the ancestors of the English over a thousand years before the invasion by the Saxons so BOG OFF FARAGE

Classic Farage to introduce a divisive element to Wales. Whether you're an English or Cymraeg speaker fades into insignificance in the face of Reform's toxic brand. Don't rise to the bait.

Nigel Garbage = rectum

He cant bury this as some schoolboy faux pas This was last summer when he cam eto the Royal Welsh to recruit Jodhpurs Jones What is someone earning £900kpa+doing these Poundland videos for Is he that desperate and greedy ? He was happy to toss Wales down the toilet for £106

This needs reposting and re-reporting everywhere possible until the elections, as it could and should be the death knell for this odious racist pillock and his merry band of Tory rejects.

On a connected matter, why has it not been much noticed that the only MS to vote against rules to prevent politicians from lying was Reform’s Laura Ann Jones?

Only a self-hating Welshman (or woman) could ever consider voting for a vile racist English Nationalist party like Deform UK.

English imperialism is still alive. Did anyone except anything different. Tell alot of England you speak Cymraeg, negative response. Tell someone in Greece or anywhere else and they are fascinated.

The mask is slipping, Reform UK. This shows Nigel Farage for what he really is: a money-grabbing, anti-Welsh language, Wales-hating egotist who is a danger not only to our NHS and Welsh devolution, but to Wales itself—God forbid he ever holds the reins of power. No doubt his minions will make excuses in a damage limitation exercise, but the images don’t lie. He said it, so own it. #VotePlaidCymruMay7th 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #ReformUK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 #WelshNot ⛔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I knew this would slide off his forked tongue at some point. Unfortunately it will embolden the anti-Welsh language factions still alive and well in our fair country. We came so far over the last 30 years. Yet now he will give rise to more dinosaur-like outbursts from the sizeable minority here. I was in a bar in Pontyclun a few days ago and heard a group of women saying, very loudly, how they d be voting Reform and how they hated Plaid Cymru and all that Welsh language tosh. They then went on to complain about choose your language option on the phone, which is just a way of jumping the queue and the fact you'll get preferential treatment for a council house if you speak Welsh. For dog's sakes. Am so ashamed of my so-called compatriots.

The only foreigners on these islands are immigrants and the English (also immigrants in their time).

Says he in the West Germanic language

What an ignorant buffoon. Doesn't Farage and his band of clowns realise that us Cymru Cymraeg were the original Britons. We'll be here long after him. Yma o hyd ..... or 'Still here' to the uninitiated !!!

So we are foreigners in our own country. Sums up the English establishment and their imperialist view of their world.

Has he ever denied running Dulwich College's chapter of Hitler's Youth?

He is not wrong. I am a non Welsh speaker and cannot and do not wish to learn. My language is ENGLISH SO BY definition is a foreign language.
