No problem with anyone who wants to come and make Wales their home and embrace Wales and Welshness (in sport or other fields!)

They’ll be playing their international games for another country…

That’s a shame - it is part of our gift in Wales to always destroy ourselves by fighting each other 😓

You can choose to be part of changing that by being someone who holds an olive branch - it’s hard to change the cultural habits of generations but always worth trying to be better

I agree - the argument has been hijacked and is being discussed on entirely spurious grounds according to rules set by populists and culture wars

A huge failure of progressive argument

But there is legitimate criticism to be made of both extremes of the debate - reason is often lost in the gap

It is nothing short of miraculous what Nation manages to do with the sparse resources they have

Let’s appreciate this, and where we differ, agree to disagree - where ever we may sit on the political spectrum or that of any argument

We need to support positive efforts if we want a better Cymru

In this 👆 we have to accept that we won’t agree with everything

But Welsh media is emaciated and we need to boost *everything* we have that endeavours to do a decent job of improving that sitiation

Put it in the FB group, encourage everyone to support financially - let’s find our voice

Isn’t the entire debate more nuanced than this?

It strikes me that the various labels deployed in these virtual shouting matches are thrown about far too liberally and without due care

Martin writes for Nation (a lot of his pieces are opinion not news, and marked accordingly) but he’s not running it

If you’re blocked it’s probably just a bandwidth issue - criticism is relentless (and often narrow and ill informed)

Turning down the volume is fair enough if you ask me

Not my experience
I find their news reporting fair and balanced

Opinion pieces are not editorially reflective - they are the opinions of the specific author

If you read one with which you disagree, write a response and ask them if they’ll publish 🤷
