Q: "How does Welsh Labour feel about
Welsh as a language?" A: "Sorry, I don't
speak Welsh" 04/10/2005 02:56 PM
Cory Doctorow: A reader writes, "A Welsh language activist sends an email to the Welsh Labour Party's general email address, it's picked up by a non-Welsh reader, who forwards it on to someone who can deal with it, also including a little 'I think it must be in Welsh or something, ha ha, aren't they funny' note. But she hits the wrong button on Outlook Express and the message goes back to the activist instead. Hilarity ensues. Extra laughs when you know that the original message read 'what is the Labour Party's attitude towards the Welsh language in the current election campaign?'"

Well, as you can see below, the actual note is not as offensive as "ha ha, aren't they funny," but it sure does fall short of the kind of ideal response you'd want to send a language activist.

I have it on good authority (as I cant understand a word of it myself!!!) that this e-mail is asking what we think about using the Welsh Language in Wales or something like that.
