They also have sponsors!

Yes considering they spend at least 15 million propping up a dying language and 100 mil for S4C (the welsh channel4) which has 10,000 viewers maximum it is a travesty. Luckily it will never happen.

We don't have much british things anymore as there all being taken away.
This won't save much and people love it theres no point taking it away.
I personall think it should stay.

Exactly. What we should do, and it's a very reasonable proposition, is to just go to war with the Welsh and tell them their only talents are with singers in the X Factor. Other than that, they have no purpose on this here planet :P And by war, I mean just enter there, slap 'em and tell them to shut up.

We [England] spend*

I agree their language should be preserved, but not at the cost to the English taxpayer.

I'm sure thinks such as the Olympic Official lanes through London etc will cost millions and millions of pounds, what about scraping that and letting them use normal lanes as if London won't be even more congested during the Olympics, that could save some money as well but I guess we have to let them get around in style whilst the rest of us have to suffer and wait in congested single lane main roads in London. That's pointless for a XX week event but I mean we need that 8-).

I'm gunna get flamed for this but...

He has a point, any money the govt can save to pay debts off, we should. I'm not saying scrap them, just put the team on "hold" until we're out the ****ter.

On the other hand, it should say, as someone rightly mentioned, out country is becoming detached from the British culture thanks to the way Labour screwed things up.

Sorry, Dan, there are millions of taxpayers in the rest of the UK too so essentially it is the UK and not just England.
The majority of people living in Wales disagree with it too.

I certainly don't? I love the comments are we are wasting money on S4C - what about BBC Alba? The Scottish Gaelic channel? I doubt that has a lot of viewers. I think S4C is vital to the preservation of our language. I don't agree with the MP's comment regarding the Red Arrows however.
