    "Our language is pointless and irrelevant in the modern world. Therefore, we should gradually phase it out - at least from public life - and make English the sole and official language of the nation".

    I would definitely support a coup against the government. I can’t stand such degeneration.

    I would never recognise such a degenerate decision and most probably, there would be a huge protest against the government since it would be the official removal of one of the most important national values.

    I wouldnt mind. I would like it. But it would suck for people who speak only a little english there are many such people. The Government would need to introduce compulsory english courses and provide courses for many people.

    People who butchered Celts in Britain to the level of extinction do not care about Celtic languages nor they ever will.
