  • Actress Mali Ann Rees said inclusivity was key to encouraging more people to speak Welsh, with “no excuse” for unconscious bias.

    There’s a huge irony here for me. I called out such unconscious bias once, which was actually perpetrated by a black Welsh speaker against an Asian from South Wales. She called me a racist for calling her out! And Reddit being Reddit, she was then upvoted and I down

    I won’t forget that. It still intensely annoys me. So thanks Mali for taking my side here.



  • On which subject, I (here in Cymru, not part of the Palantir NHS England problem) received a letter in the post this week asking if I wanted to take part in a large survey for the NHS, which would involve giving a blood sample for analysis. The address given was in England, and so I’m guessing it’s a joint project with NHS Cymru and England.

    I have to say that I am not intending to reply to the letter because of Palantir; it feels horribly like a data gathering exercise funded by them.

    Does anyone else know about this?
