Passion as you call it.

This is xenephonic,racist and elitist.

How dare people celebrate that Wales are still in the Euros.

It's totally unfair on all those other nations, especially England, and will offend them. I think the word Wales should be banned and any slim Welsh girls barred from going out just in case any fat girls see them and get all upset.
Also all this Welsh singing is just nationalistic chest beating.
This is exactly how Nazi Germany started.

The Germans who fought in the Wehrmacht for their country are to be respected. There is nothing wrong with objecting to a war and campaigning against it, but working for the other side in most situations is betrayal.

In situations where you know that your country is committing genocide against a race of people and....any set of people they don't approve of.....maybe in those circumstances working against your state has ethics to it.

However, this is a pretty extreme set of circumstances. Alexander, for example, didn't praise these people in his time, he put them to death. I'd lock them up in mine.

Obviously in a war you use what these people have to offer but in my eyes....unless there are exceptional circumstances....a traitor is a traitor.

So,those many Jews who were German nationals who fought in the British armed forces against Germany in WW2 weren't "traitors" then....

Those partisans in Croatia in 1941-45 who fought against their legal but fascist government in alliance with the UK etc,were they traitors?

What about those in the French resistance who fought against their legally constituted Vichy government in alliance with the British?

Was De Gaulle a traitor in 1940-44?He defied his country's lawful government and took up arms with its new enemy.....

So,a "traitor" is perhaps not always a traitor....other than in an overly simplistic world?

Lots of lithe and lissom Welsh lasses out in 'Wind Street', Swansea when I was there a few years ago. There were also some larger ones but these were 'Bouncers' who certainly put the chaps in their places ! I actually used to court a Welsh girl who hailed from Llanelli !

Don't let Sadiq Khan hear about it. He will make them cover up if they visit London.

Very proud of Wales.

I'm also proud to be in an union with another nation that filled the whole world with such laughter last monday. Well done England.

Back in the 70s I went to a rugby international between Wales and Australia at the 'Arms Park'. The Welsh crowd booed when "God save the Queen" was played before the game.

Fair play.

Incidentally, how may Welsh players were born in Wales or play in Wales?

I don't hear too many Welsh accents in the team.

I'm fully expecting hordes of Welsh Americans to crawl out of the woodwork in the same way as the Scottish/American & especially the Irish Americans do. Although The USA was primarily settled by the English I have yet to see or hear anyone openly admit to being Anglo/English American although a few years ago some moron without a trace of Irony on asking If I was English & saying Yes, proudly stated he was 'Cornish American' Its the same with (not all) the Irish when sneering at 'The Brits' its not the British they hate at all its the English....
