The joke is on |
the English |
| Sir: "I had no idea" says Miles |
| Kington, "that there was such a |
| thing as a Welsh Academy" ("One |
| way to unite the Welsh: insult |
| them", 30 July), and it seems that |
| he is just as ignorant about the |
| condition of Welsh culture. |
| He would be ashamed, I think, to |
| write so scornfully about any other |
| country whose language he does |
| not understand, and of whose |
| intellectual activities he is evidently |
| ignorant: but there we are, the |
| English now feeling themselves to |
| he inferior to every other people in |
| Europe, they are left only with the |
| Welsh and the Scots to sneer at - |
| preferably the Welsh, because |
| there are fewer of them, and they |
| have a language of their own. |
| Mr Kington and his kind should |
| stop and think: for every |
| Englishman making cruel jokes |
| about Wales, there are 10,000 |
| foreigners laughing at England. |
