[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6580019, member: 54866"] Seems shaming the English is quite popular these days. Here is the latest iteration blaming us for yet more of the ills in the world. I was unaware the English stole Welsh coal or steel but you learn something new everyday. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/oct/03/uk-should-compensate-wales-for-reducing-it-to-poverty-plaid-cymru[/URL] [I] The UK government should pay reparations to Wales for stripping it of its natural resources and “depriving it of its inheritance”, the leader of [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/politics/plaid-cymru']Plaid Cymru[/URL] has said ahead of the party’s annual conference. Writing before the start of the two-day event on Friday, in Swansea, Adam Price said being governed from Westminster had left [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/uk/wales']Wales[/URL] unable to fulfil its potential and called for a Welsh reconstruction fund to “settle up” for a century of lost time. “Through the long lens of our nation’s history we see a once resource-rich country ground down into crippling poverty,” said the Welsh nationalist leader in a comment piece seen by the Guardian. “Today it’s not charity we seek but justice. British rule in Wales has left deep scars. No, it may not have been so bloody, but the human cost in blighted lives is to be measured in the millions.[/I] [/QUOTE]
