      Well yeah, its pretty clearly discrimination, but I’d be interested if a court would find it was proportional if they want to challenge that decision.

      I live in North Wales and can speak Welsh but I’m very much against this ‘wrong language’ condition. Welsh has grown in popularity and seen such a resurgence because of positive factors – not negatives like being excluded.

      I understand why people on Llyn may feel threatened, especially when you are having a significant number of new houses added to a community. They aren’t far from Abersoch – a horribly blighted community – and no doubt experience a lot of holiday makers in the summer. But exclusion isn’t the answer.

      Hmm, having just 15 households not speak the native language of the land can destroy a community? Interesting, interesting

      > Community councillor Jina Gwyrfai said: “Even though over 70% of residents here speak Welsh we are at that critical linguistic tipping point and 15 houses using the wrong language can make a detrimental difference.

      That’s literally just racism lol

      If the welsh don’t like wales they can just leave and make their own wales

      It’s the correct decision. This is clearly discrimination, but it is permitted as ‘indirect discrimination’ under the equality act. It seems that planning policy came to the rescue here.

      I wonder if Plaid will change that to allow more discrimination in future.

      Good. UK citizens should not face language discrimination when deciding where to live in their own land.

      Welsh is a minority language, so using positive discrimination to encourage more Welsh speakers is fine. You can’t compare it to English because it’s the main language in this country or Urdu because that’s not a minority language either, regardless of how many people speak it in this country.

      Feel bad for the Welsh that they can’t protect their minority language without the monoglots feeling threatened about the existence of Welsh and how this affects them.

      As soon as Wales does anything in it’s own interest English people come out of the woodwork to cry about discrimination. Do you really give a fuck or are you just wanting to play the victim? It’s pathetic.

      I see a lot of “SPEAK ENGLISH WHEN YOU’RE IN ENGLAND!!!!” people are crying about the simple premise of Welsh being mandatory in *checks notes* Wales.

      Whoever allows it to go ahead is signing themselves up for a ton of pointless yet perfectly sane legal woes.
