When all's said, and done, if civilisation drowns the last colour to go will be gold - the light on a glass, the prow of a gondola, the name on a rosewood piano as silence engulfs it.

A growing interest in the Welsh language and culture could mean Cymraeg is no longer classed as being “vulnerable to extinction,” according to a new report. Preply’s Endangered Language Report says an increase in the number of people wanting to learn Welsh could help the Welsh Government realise its ambition of one million Welsh speakers by 2050.

Welsh is integral to the country’s heritage and national identity but a decline in the number of Welsh speakers had put it at risk of extinction in recent years. It is one of Britain’s oldest languages but historical events such as the Act of Uniformity in 1549 (where all acts of worship were to be conducted in English), have impacted its growth dramatically.

The infamous ‘Welsh Not’ signs of the 1800s which were designed to punish school children for speaking Welsh are just one example of numerous attempts to extinguish the language throughout history. Despite this, Welsh remains widely spoken in homes, schools, and workplaces across the country and interest in the language is on the rise.

Saw this on my phone yesterday morning and forgot to share it.

I'd love to bask in this and laugh my arse off at the disconnect between the propaganda and the actual feeling of people, but ...

How long are we going to tolerate this?

Watching the fall out from Bannau Brycheiniog has been hilarious. I want this to happen to watch the Tories lose their minds I think I would achieve inner peace.
