Those f*ckin' English bastards are so f*ckin' greedy. Then England wonders why Scotland, Wales, and N. Ireland wanna be independent. Yeah you, England, you better take a good look at this! When judgment day comes, I hope England will be the first to go.

I reckon someone should go and block the pipe.

@efallai1 Dyna sy'n rhaid i ni gyd ei wneud!

Fel Cymry, ni sy'n gyfrifol am ddyfodol yr iaith ac felly unrhyw dyfodol sydd na i'n gwlad.

Defnyddiwch ein iaith!

@nestfilms Every Welsh MP voted against it apart from one who abstained. The English chose to ignore the wishes of the Welsh people.

Quite simply, the Welsh government wouldn't have done it,.

[madadz69]

English leaders nearly killed our welsh language with the treason of the blue books, and then flooded a lovely quaint town for their overbuilt, overpopulated major cities.... CYMRU AM BYTH!

[lippyrich]
