It's a good read and really explains how Wales is distinct from England. Wales was England's first colony and has been treated by England in a completely abusive way. It's interesting that the strongest and the most spoken Celtic language today is Welsh, despite being next door to England. Ireland doesn't quite have the same strength in its Irish language community.
