I cannot help, when reading of the Welsh colonisation of Patagonia, but think of Malcolm Pryce's “Aberystwyth Noir” novels, in which Patagonia is frequently referred to as “The Welsh Vietnam”. This Unit commends them to The Panel.

Anyway, if the likes of Toby Young and Julia Dunning-Kruger are agin this change then it *must* be a Good Thing.

A tour de force. I particularly liked ‘Satan’s little helpers’. I shall steal that. I work among them. :)

Fine piece - particularly liked the concept of strategic indignation.

On the ball as ever Matt.

I'm just releasing an album where the songs hang together with a theme of exclusion.

One evokes my Irish genealogy. Had I been Welsh, I would have done the same - and suffered the inevitable (I've had them already) "woke mob" comments.

Enjoy Patagonia. Its a place i want to see.
