"Our Home Grown Disturbed Pyromaniacs are Obviously Superior"

I've been re-reading They All Speak English? and insist that you go do so as well. It seems to be on hiatus, but it should give all of you who aren't familiar with the current political discussion about the Welsh language a nice introduction to what people (politicians and private citizens) are saying about the Welsh.

Or at least will tell you why I'm fed up with Anglophilia and/or being told that Welsh is a "silly language," however well meant. And explain what that sticker on my laptop is.

"Llanfairpwll is a humorous invention made up to attract tourists, like the Royal Family."

"Let's face it, anyone stupid enough to obey the command of a caravan probably isn't worth converting to our cause."

A well-written and (acerbically) witty blog, however, might just do the trick.
