Also, I'm no imperialist, I actually support Welsh independence. But one thing I hate is very loud incorrect people who come and shout your subjective opinion at people who present actual research. There are many things we would see eye to eye on, if you would just stop sneering.

Actually, as demonstrated in this lovely graphic, you'll see that the name Britain is far older than the Norman invasion, and even older than the Roman invasion of Britain! And its the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" so using that name to refer to the big island is wrong.

If by invaders label of ignorance you mean the Roman Empire, then sure! Or seeing as even that name came from proto-Celtic ancestry, perhaps you shouldn't assume your modern politics apply to complex history. Nationalism itself is a very modern idea. Those distinct nations are not long distinct.

... which of course will then alienate the left wing support they had! That's a political reality. Perhaps you should try and engage critically rather than name calling? Or in a "British" language (though don't get me started on that) Cau Dy Geg!

So, I get not being a fan of the UK, but sadly for you Britain does exist, and has existed for over 2 millenia as acceptable nomenclature for this area of the world. And parties have long held support from wings and then betrayed that support like Labour had. They are enacting right wing policies...

Hi sorry by this do you mean one of the descendents of the Brythonic languages - Welsh, Cornish, or Breton? Or the wider insular Celtic groups including the Goidelic languages? And PS the British isles (terminology that preexists the UK by millenia) and the largest of which is Great Britain.

Its the pits now, but we've had highs recently! Hell even in 2023 we got out the groups. Take that over continually treading water.
Now in 2027, be really funny if we did and they didn't again

French lad not competing took the Welsh lad out in the air and he landed on his head. It's stayed a yellow too. Fuming.

Lugby Reague baby! Tbf it is a scrum, and possession so rare to turnover I quite like the lesser punishment for deliberate knock ons

The Gatland way only worked before everyone else caught up with the power and fitness. Plus every world cup campaign we were so injured that we whimpered out in our last games whenever they were. Agreed, we need a new identity. Planning for 2031, and for 2029 for the women.
