An English historian, novelist and television presenter has sparked outrage over comments she made about the Welsh language.
She claims to have experienced nothing but rudeness in Wales
Lucy Inglis implied that Welsh was a contributing factor to poverty in Wales and that she had found Welsh speakers to be rude.
She tweeted: “As nippers, we were made to go on hardship camps to Wales, where the people were actively hostile.
“The would switch from English to Welsh in order to exclude you, as they were buckling you up for abseiling.”
She made disparaging comments towards Welsh language channel S4C’, stating that it can “get f****d”.
And she added: “Wales is very beautiful, but I have never experienced anything but rudeness there, as a child or an adult”.
Lots of people are not happy
The comments have since provoked a strong response with a number of people commenting on social media.
