Rejected petition Repeal all Welsh language acts

More details

Non Welsh speakers in Wales are discriminated against in employment in the public sector with the Welsh language qualification being used as a "race" card.Vast amounts of money are wasted on duplicating all utility bills and all paperwork from Councils etc. A recent survey found that only 25% of people in Wales spoke welsh so why is it that this small percentage holds such sway.If a language is wanted it will survive but forcing children to take it as a compulsary subject robs them of valuable time learning a more relevant subject. All Acts discriminating against the English Language in Wales should be repealed.
