A community council has called for a development of 18 homes to be reserved for Welsh speakers only. The council called the influx of English speakers a "degenerative force" that damaged Welsh language speaking heartlands.
Botwnnog council was responding to an application for a new development of affordable homes in the village on the Llyn Peninsula in north west Wales. The area traditionally has one of the highest percentages of Welsh language speakers but there have long been concerns about the impact of second-home owners driving up house prices.
The village, which is close to the tip of the peninsula halfway between Abersoch and Traeth Penllech, is a small community of around 1,000 residents. In a strongly worded objection to the plan, the council argues there is "no local need" for the housing as only four names are on the current housing list.

A few years ago, not many maybe nine or ten years ago, we were looking at a property on the south coat of the Llyn Peninsula, I cant remember exactly what the estate agent told us, but essentially the message was, because we weren't Welsh we weren't allowed to buy the property.
Can you imagine the reaction if only English people were allowed to buy property in England. The English are the biggest minority in the UK.

Gwynedd Council planning dept rejected a former IT colleague's proposal for a facility in the Menai Straits as an unwarranted invasion of the English language into the peninsula. I went back to making money from software, including about £120,000 to fix the disaster sending Welsh only letters from Welsh Water to cottage burners who demanded no English, but bilingual to everyone else because to refuse Welsh was racist, and my colleague is now a multi millionaire in zlotys or whatever the fuck the Croatians used before they adopted the Euro They really are nasty racist bastards but you can't have them for it. They are allowed to deny jobs to English speakers on the grounds I structions would be given in Welsh. That was a printers in Carmarthen. The advert placed at the jobcentre stated 'no English speakers need apply' not 'proficiency in Welsh required' but the job centre allowed it as did the government. That was about 1994. English is the new black / Irish / tinker |

No that won't work The Welsh hot air shit pit gives any immigrant taking advantage of the 'nation of Sanctuary' bollox free Welsh lessons and classified them as a Welsh learner to add their numbers to the ranks of those speaking this dead dialect So they will actually go to the head of the queue ahead of any actual Welsh |
