It's fantastic to see crowd, and the legend, @DafyddIwan , sing 'Yma o Hyd' at #WALAUT . I wrote article in Cambria, in 2010 about what inspired DI to compose the song in 1983 & why it resonates. We'd never have believed that it wld be sung by Dafydd at a @cymru match. 😲👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Garage by Carmarthen. As usual I speak Welsh, "Shwmae, pwmp rhif pump, plîs". Why assume staff wouldn't speak Welsh? Cashier can't speak Welsh fluently, counts "un, dau, tri, pedwar, pump" to herself. Clicks that pump = 5. Smiles, I pay. 🙂 No probs. No fuss. Respect to her.👍

But staff in Aberystwyth Post Office didn't understand "shwmae, llyfr stamps, plîs" and found it an affront when I repeated in English then suggested she could learn some v basic Welsh, literally, about 10 words, as if learning Welsh (uniquely) was an impossibility.

Sure, every Welsh person on holiday abroad, especially to a small independent country, say Denmark, Ireland, Estonia, Croatia thinks, "If they can be independent, why can't Wales?" Right? 🤔 Or, rather, what kind of Welsh person doesn't think this? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #indywales

@samstejskal @OwsWills Wish Fifa would drop the instrumental music, just give pitch and allow our fans to sing a capella. We're adults we all know the words and it's a great anthem. Having recorded music is for nations who don't know or like their anthems.

If Welsh Labour MPs hadn't voted Tories against devolving HS2 fully then @amanwy and @transport_wales would have £5bn to revolutionise Wales. Plaid warned then. Too late now. That's the @PrifWeinidog & Labour's "best insurance policy" at work and Keir won't change it either.

Not a single inch of #HS2 track will be laid in Wales yet it is considered and England-and-Wales project which denies Wales any return investment. It is only right that Wales gets its fair share from this biggest white elephant in the Tory circus.

@WalesOnline Scots will vote Yes in 2023. Whatever people's views on #indywales today, what will they think when Scots leave UK? Wales can't leave it till then and pretend it won't happen. Big #indywales march tomorrow in Wrexham, give @AUOBCymru @YesCymru a follow

@WillHayCardiff In 2018 Welsh Labour MPs voted w Tories against fully devolving rail to Senedd. Labour knew making HS2 a EnglandandWales project (and not England only) = Wales getting no Barnet Consequential = c£5bn. Media ignored this vote. Interview w Jonathan Edwards MP on @RadioYesCymru . /1

Da iawn #motd2 for including a clip of @Ben_Davies33 interview in Welsh as part of package on the @cymru team. Welsh is a normal language and it's great to see it used in a normal situation like sports package. Gwaith da. Gwerthfawrogi. Diolch Catrin Heledd. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚽

One of great "what ifs" of Welsh history. Unlike Lloyd George, he wld have fought and delivered for Wales. At least we'd have had Sec of State for Wales in 1900-10s which would have solidified Wales's politi & some status for Cymraeg. As was, we wasted 60+ yrs for basic status.

Stevens & Welsh Labour MPs voted or abstained w Tories in 2018 to make HS2 an EnglandandWales budget. Jo Stevens, Kinnock, Bryant all knew that Wales would get no Barnett cut of c£4bn. @Plaid_Cymru MPs told them! But Labour hatred of Senedd & wish to deny Senedd ££ was too strong

It would seem incredibly hypocritical Wales not getting its share of HS2 spending if Labour were to win the election…

They don't use powers they have cos they don't want to be too different to England and upset careers of Welsh Lab MPs.

@WLGrassroots But you'll still vote Labour. Party before Cymru, every time for Welsh Labour. Ppl will bow down to patronizing warm words by about rugby and "Nye" and importance of "unity" but still vote Labour whilst saying @Plaid_Cymru isn't "left wing enough" ... or something.

@BladeoftheS The song is "Erika", if anyone needs to look it up. The song & words themselves are harmless enough - a love song for Erika comparing her to a flower - but adopted as marching song of Nazi soldiers and Nazi regime. Really awful. Anyone who knows anything about WW2 knows this.

Speaking Welsh in Wales can be, erm, dodgy, which is why many people don't 'risk' it. Attitudes certainly change thanks to 'hard' status won by political campaigning and also soft status through things like football and #YmaoHyd .

Interesting to see how similar Welsh and Breton are. Mor Hanternoz (North Sea, exactly as Môr Hanner Nos, "Midnight Sea", though it's Môr Tawch in Welsh - Mist/Haze Sea). Mor Kreizdouar = Môr Craidd Daear, though, we say Môr y Canoldir, which is same. Craidd in Welsh = core.
