LEANNE WHAT ABOUT EL WELSH TV? CAMPAIGN FOR A NATIONAL WALES TELEVISION SERVICE - PRESENT PRIORITY BEING MORE E.L WELSH THEMED REGUALAR PROGRAMMING INC WELSH THEMED DRAMAS - See Example Of One Day In Welsh Television and You Should Undertand What I Am On About.


S4C Is well taking care of the 'Cymraeg' population, I am not complaining about that other than if EL speakers are now paying for it out of their TV licence money but not gettting themselves a comparable service. This in time will lead to discontent and not least if continued spending on S4C is combined with continued declining viewing figures. Note, re example below of one day in life of EL Television in Wales. Three other channels between them only deliver Welsh News on BBC and ITV Wales with on BBC 2 Wales the Ireland V Wales Under 20's Rugby International. This sort of policy of course excludes ES Wales from being part of and contributing to a inclusive Television Service for Wales, given ES Welsh are the majority population this can only be unfair and do nothing to sustain a National Identity. For Plaid Cymru it spells disaster and do I realy have to explain why? Leanne Wood is an 'Hwntw' whose first and better spoken language is 'English' but does she care, why not ask her?

      See Letter below, I am not the only one to see the problem. I am totally amazed that given fact that Rugby in main is an 'Hwntw' game watched by 1000's of EL Speakers, why do they not have an EL equivilent of 'Johnathan', why not?
