If you go to the theatre and your phone battery’s running low, please try to avoid unplugging a theatrical lighting rig (which will enable you to see the actors) to charge your phone up.

Straight privilege is sitting down to book a holiday and being able to book ANYWHERE (within your budget) without fear of being harrassed, bullied or treated as ‘lesser’ when you just want to enjoy and see the world.

Banksy comes to Port Talbot and sprays a wall…
They put up protective barriers and 24-hour security.
The Cofiwch Dryweryn wall is a memorial, a reminder that a Welsh village was drowned to supply water for Liverpool in 1965…

The Welsh Government have said they WON'T give set dates yet because they know how the media (and public) will attack them if it doesn't work out.
Boris Johnson knows that he is impervious to ANY repercussions, so undermines the governments of other nations by doing this.

What an ignorant question.
It’s ignorant to the cultural significance of a bilingual nation. It means we have TWO languages. The authorities in England historically tried their best to dismantle and erase our language and ignorant questions such as this are very unhelpful.
