Wales to be promoted as a 'principality'

[mwgdrwg]

Has there ever been somewhere as masochistic as Wales, that revels in the hatred and destruction of it's own culture and language, and now even in it's status as an actual country.

Wales to be promoted as 'principality'

 

[Plumdaff]

Fuck off fucking Prince of Wales. Who gives a flying fuck what that privileged tosser is enthusiastic about.

It's tragic really.

Is he fucking trolling now??

 

[Pickman's model]

i have emailed the welsh administration with my suggestion for a slogan and a request for a £75,000 cheque should it be used:

wales - principally a principality

You could object on principle.

Let's hope the clueless twat is out of a job sharpish.

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood denounced the idea as an "out-dated gimmick".

Wales has not been a principality since the 16th century and the Welsh Government itself has denied that Wales is one.

The Welsh Government said in a statement in 2008: "Wales is not a principality. Although we are joined with England by land, and we are part of Great Britain, Wales is a country in its own right."

On Tuesday, a Welsh Government spokesman told BBC Wales: "This is not Welsh Government policy and we cannot comment further on personal remarks made at an event attended by the minister in a personal capacity."

I thought it was still used just as a turn of phrase in match reports and the like to avoid repeating Wales too often

He's lost the plot completely.

I'm not entirely sure what 'plot' he was ever part of. He once knocked about with Marjorie Thompson when she was Head of CND. Y'know, before she set up a Saatchi & Saatchi foundation and became a full time member of the Conservative Party.
