Gwynedd Council is considering “phasing out” the English language from schools to “remove bilingualism and bilingual teaching”. This is a bad decision. Darren Millar 🏴 tells BBC Wales News why. 👇

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Bilingualism is a very valuable asset for a child no matter what the languages concerned. Far better to phase out Gwynedd Council.

𝑴𝑺𝑵𝑩𝑪 𝑮𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑾𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉𝒚 𝑬𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒔 Scott Galloway, multi-millionaire professor gives dire warning about the decline of American capitalism and wealth inequality. ★ NEW ARTICLE ⬇️

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews The only way to guarantee bilingualism is by going to a Welsh-medium school. Nobody leaves an English-medium school speaking fluent Welsh; everybody leaves a Welsh-medium school speaking both fluently.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Have they considered phasing out the council.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Welsh politics is all about transforming wales into a third work country and always has been. It’s why so many of us Taffs live in England.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Fuck off with your culture war bollocks. You're doing fuck all to help Cymru, only inciting shit in the hopes that you recover the thicko BritNat vote.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Because of the global benefits of being able to speak Welsh? Morons! Anyone can speak Welsh, just gargle some phlegm and spit whilst you’re talking.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews This is the best decision for the Welsh people.

@KemiBadenoch @DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Is this the same mob who are splashing cash to decolonize Welsh Cakes?

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews I wonder whether the intent is to deliberately provoke a response, so that they can claim people are trying to suppress the Welsh Language which is obviously not true. Both PC and SNP love a victim narrative however.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Then you better get busy translating every single movie and show into Welsh.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews So denying the Welsh any hope of getting on in the world. Who thinks up these ridiculous ideas?

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Now that will put children at a disadvantage 😞

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews This is rubbish!! English will be taught as a subject in all schools and up to 30 % of other subjects can be taught in English. Every child will leave school fully bilingual in both Welsh and English. Typical Tories the anti Welsh party. No wonder you were kicked out last year!!

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews The conservatives, the party for proud monoglots

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews racist cun*s those people in Gwynedd

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Dwi ddim yn deall. Oes fersiwn yn Gymraeg?

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Going to start teaching Arabic instead?

@KemiBadenoch @DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Career prospects: a small area of Wales. 👏👏👏

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews This is incorrect!!! My experience lime manu others Is I went to an English Medium school and came out just being an English speaker. People who go to Welsh Medium schools do come out bilingual

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Either a joke or very misguided. Being proud of your language is one thing, deliberately putting your children at an educational disadvantage is another level altogether.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Welsh is a dead language. Why would you handicap your children linguistically? Whoever can go with this idea needs sectioning.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Wrong it's about enambling full bilingualism!

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Has Darren or anyone else at the Conservatives actually read the proposals?…

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Clearly we didn't finish of the Welsh properly 1500 years ago.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews You know that this is untrue. All children will be bilingual as a result of this policy. At the moment, some are missing out which is unfair on them.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews I went through Welsh education, in Cardiff I am now better off in my education because of it You open more doors by teaching children bilingualism, you lot can’t be this dense?

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Did a member of the 'Welsh' Conservatives never go to a Welsh medium school and would know that this headline is absolute rubbish.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews This is sowing division - plain & simple

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Those kids are gonna have fun getting a job when they realise 99% of them require you to speak English fluently. There’s only so many people the local shop and pub can hire.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews That is one way to guarantee poverty for every child in those schools. Excluded from every profession.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews The children will only be able to work in Wales, what a silly idea.

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews They know Welsh is a minority language only spoke in Wales? Why would you not allow students to learn English as a means to engaging with the world outside Wales?

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews That should bode well for the children's future employment opportunities. 🙄

@ncacheri @DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Another woke problem . By all means teach Welsh but English as well . Kids won’t get on in life with only the Welsh Language .

@DarrenMillarMS @BBCWalesNews Isn't this the policy of the Socialist run Senedd too? They want to see Wales as Welsh speaking only by 2050? The @GOVUK need to put both Gwynedd County Council and the Welsh Government,firmly in their place?
