What are your thoughts on it? Why are you sharing it without comment?
You are going to have to post the whole text of the article.
I anticipate that it will be the bog standard pandering to London position of evil and incompetent left ruining everything with mean devolution and never, at any stage, accepting that HMT have tried to screw us over at every stage and that the right in Wales are an intellectually and morally bankrupt mess of contradiction and failure equally undeserving of a vote.
Just once I would love to hear what these people think the plan is for the Valleys that Welsh Labour and the Eau haven’t already tried and failed to do
So basically a TERF being a TERF. What a twat, Wales is awesome
A coloumnist says stupid shit. Nothing new really. You can tell it’s bollocks because she zeros straight in on “Wokism”
Absolutely horrid article, why is Enoch Powell becoming a respected figure in the mainstream news now??
>drinking down unfiltered woke rubbish
Well, this “article” is bull shit then.
>confined to the borders of the principality
Confirmed then that the writer knows nothing about Wales.
When I’m dictator of Wales, publishing this shit will be grounds for imprisonment
She talks about our country like it’s a holiday destination for her in her first paragraph and then she used “Woke Rubbish” in her second paragraph, that honestly tells me all I need to know about her politics, journalism and opinion of Cymru.
She has no link to Wales. I don’t know how she feels qualified to write about Wales. Maybe her years growing up in the US, Cambridge education and life in London? 🤷♂️
Ah, a delightful mixture of Cymrophobia, misandry, transphobia, and honestly a total misunderstanding of the country.
Disgusting behaviour for a cheap penny. Ych a fi! Lol.
Blood boiling condescension but then what do you expect if you read The Spectator.
Dont read that, it’s shit.
There is an underlying contradiction in the article. It criticizes Wales for embracing its own cultural identity and perspectives, whether through reinterpreting historical sites, focusing on diversity, or addressing contemporary social issues yet simultaneously lamenting that these actions detract from contributing to “British cultural life.”
Essentially, the article appears to argue that Wales is undermining its potential by prioritising local or progressive concerns over a broader, more traditional British narrative (we’re not acting English enough?!). However, this perspective overlooks the fact that contributing to “British cultural life” can take many forms, including redefining and showcasing Wales’ unique identity within that framework.
The critique may stem more from discomfort with how Wales is evolving rather than an objective assessment of its contributions. The author is well known for their anti-trans and pro-conservative rhetoric and often such people are synonymous with the people who would like to dismantle the devolved powers of the Welsh government, returning all authority to Westminster. Though Zoe doesn’t state this directly in the article, the ideology she embeds here to influence the idea of Wales being too Welsh for it’s own good, speaks volumes.

Wales needs more Marxists not less.
