“The myth that the island of Britain was the God-given property of Welsh-speaking peoples stolen by the Saxons meant that the Welsh were reluctant to give up their claim on Britain by rejecting Britishness.”
Simon Brooks, Why Wales Never Was: The Failure of Welsh Nationalism

“The chasm between French Jacobinism and British liberalism is not as wide as it seems: both are assimilatory modes of thought rooted in the Enlightenment.”
Simon Brooks, Why Wales Never Was: The Failure of Welsh Nationalism
