Letter: Don't pander to this Welsh elite

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Roger Dobson completely ignores the recent successes of English-language films from Wales (Twin Town, House of America). Worse, his article is another example of Welsh-language bashing. The fact is that on average pupils in Welsh-medium schools do better than their counterparts in English- medium schools. Why such a narrow-minded attitude towards Welsh - the strongest of the languages in this island to have successfully resisted the onslaught of a bland, uniform one language culture?
