wow when did we stop caring about our culture here,

this part of our history and like the welsh language why shouldnt we try and preserve some the oldest langauages in existence. To state that English is the business Language is plain ignorant and this country recognising other languages such as gaelic as OFFICIAL languages. Just to recap Whilst English is a dominant langauage there is plenty of business dozen in Other langauages and in this country ranging from Cantonese to German. The fact these countries folk have learnt english shows either a) deep lover affair with english b) failure of our own to learn a new language. If anything we shoudl be showing interest in these cultures including our own traditions and beliefs because soon they will dissappear. £4 million is a very small price to pay. I think its awful that we are trying to justify losing this so that we can keep free to air football thats like selling children to pay for a PS3 (okay not that extreme). Thankfully BBC are not looking to lose ALBA. Prsonally I would keep BBC3 as well and not giev anymore cash to BBC1 to throw away on such itesm as the Voice but that is my own personal opinion.

Likewise i respect all views here but I am slightly disappointed with the way this discussion was going

p.s. I am neither Welsh nor Scottish, neither can i speak the languages, proud to british, call Austria my second home and love all people from all societies, nationalities, culture and creed
