ClickOnWales.org (the website of the Institute of Welsh Affairs, an independent
think-tank) runs the odd article about Welsh language policy, sometimes in quick
succession. They put up one a day for three days recently, each one written by a
different person:
Teaching Welsh for the sake of our children http://goo.gl/mleym2
When teaching Welsh is a futile experiment http://goo.gl/FrrTDH
We’re better bilingual in Wales http://goo.gl/vt0Bwc
As always, the comments beneath the article are in many ways as interesting as the
articles themselves -- a peak into a lively civic debate about this area of Welsh
social policy.
In somewhat related news, the UK Government is dangling the prospect of increased
powers in front of the devolved Welsh Assembly --

be subject to a referendum.
