Every time I hear Times Radio discussing whether Crimea could perhaps be given to Russia in exchange for peace, I feel like asking how British folk would feel, if Denmark had a radio show pretending to have a serious debate about returning the Danelaw to Denmark.

Just like Britain is Britain, Ukraine is Ukraine. And no matter how many times the Murdoch media empire keeps platforming people who insist on both-siding Putin’s illegal invasion, that will never change.

@randahl Cue the comedians giving away Wales.
@godofbiscuits I may be culturally ignorant here. Are comedians in the UK making fun of Wales in much the same way all kinds of comedians in the US make fun of Florida?

"Wales is somewhat isolationist"

- that's not a Welsh perspective.

Wales was invaded, brutally crushed and settled by a kleptocratic regime with expansionist ambitions who sought to crush neighbours who would not swear fealty to him (I'm talking about Edward I, but the similarity with Putin should be clear).

What happened in Wales since then is what Ukrainians fear.

Like Ukrainians, Welsh people want some self-determination and respect.
