Dafis @ I had assumed the story was about WWII evacuees, but from the link you’ve given it seems to refer to a practice of 100 years ago. Nevertheless surely the point remains that there is no comparison between children placed with local families and adult in-migrants.

Course it does. It’s probably populated by Anglos attending the Uni and speaks to itself and to the goodlifers and other assorted anglo-green immigrants. The Welsh speakers among its audience are the compliant trendy sleepy heads who do not regard defending their own language,culture and identity as a priority yet will dash off to an “event” that serves up the latest on trend dogma e.g no fracking in my back yard.

Here’s the link to BBC Radio Cymru website, should enable you to replay content from this week and last week’s prog

You have a point, but these people interviewed were not forced to stay after 1945. Indeed one old boy said he could’nt bear the thought of going back to London ( ?) and elected to stay working on a farm and building his new life in darkest Sir Gar. The point I was making was quite simple – that you can go back 70 years and beyond and find that most migrants moved in and integrated. I knew people who moved onto farms in North Sir Gar and Dyffryn Teifi in 60’s who integrated. Now, they come in and expect everything around them to change to suit their needs.

But evacuees were kids mostly boarded with local families, so they were thrust into the local community like it or lump it. No comparison really. Indeed you could even go as far as to say that the poor dears were forcibly removed from their own families and deprived of their native culture (assuming the English have any — LOL). The same technique has been used to ‘civilise’ native children in parts of the Empire. At least in this case it was only ‘for the duration’. An interesting piece of information nevertheless, wonder if there have been any serious studies?

Gaz – O fewn dau ddiwrnod, ‘roedd nifer o bentrefwyr wedi pwyntio bys at Morris. Gwnaeth yr Heddlu wrthod eu credi!

being anti fracking is fashionable among the metropolitan pink and nimby salons where much energy ( intellectual horse power? or horeshit ? ) is devoted to keeping large areas of countryside “clean” for leisure use only. Even indigenous residents are regarded as a nuisance and will be removed in due course. CCC have joined this bandwagon because it cost them nothing at the moment and they have done their bit. However farmers will be driven off the land slowly as land use will shift from agri to “other uses ” mostly run by assorted grant grabbers and other fellow travellers.

Perhaps you should ask him if there is any connection between the reputed £1 million the BBC had to pay out to libelled cops as a result of his programme and his subsequent boot……eerrrr….I mean switch from the BBC to becoming the self-appointed Senator McCarthy of Welsh blogging.
