I can't speak for Wales, but usually the biggest issue with Gaelic comes from other Scots rather than the English, who don't think it belongs to the 21st century and complain about the exaggerated cost to preserve it, Daily mail and Express type readers.

When I visited Edinburgh, the only time I remember seeing Gaelic signs was in the Scottish Parliament. Certainly you don't usually see it on road signs, in public transport and in shops like you do with Welsh in Wales. And in Wales there is also a debate between those who (whether or not they themselves speak Welsh) see maintaining the Welsh language as an essential part of the country's history and identity, and those who see it as antiquated, pointless and wasteful.

True.From my trips in amsterdam i realize that dutch people don’t give a shit about weed.The majority of smokers were tourists and muslims like moroccans etc.

That was the plan but that never materialized. It would have led to a disastrous rise in illegal trade and the wholesale closure of legitimate sellers.
