Gaelic Bingo

The best anti-Gaelic nonsense, ignorance and bigotry on Twitter. #gàidhlig

[Gaelic Bingo @gaelicbingo]

Child councillor for the Conservatives, Braden "the two child limit is fair" Davey, uses a spicy meme to show how "annoyed" he is at the sight of #Gaelic. You might remember Braden from previous posts. Braden doesn't like Gaelic.

every announcement this ferry makes is translated into Scottish Gaelic as if anyone who isn’t a skeleton still speaks it

[Gaelic Bingo @gaelicbingo]

Nothing was attributed to you other than point of fact you 'liked' (pointedly in quotes) the tweet. If you want to clarify your thoughts on his tweet, happy to RT.

This is rubbish! My only recent comment has been that we need to do more to support Gaelic. Why not ask ME what I think rather than attribute views that are wrong?

LibDem MSP Alex is critical of the Scottish Government for not putting the same resources enjoyed by #Gaelic into revitalising other threatened languages like French and German.

@lituainianach @BrittonGillian @Innealadair @theSNP He will. My point is, regrettable as the decline in Gaelic is, and it is, I see no commensurate push from the Govt in respect of French and German.

[Gaelic Bingo @gaelicbingo]

"I don't have a problem but here's my problem (which I can't actually explain)", bumbles LibDem MSP Alex.

Bruced VIII warns "the Gaelic only school in Stornoway" (which doesn't exist) is driving a wedge into the community.

[Gruce VIII_3 @Bruced872]

@TheEuroGirl An whatabout the Gaelic only school in Stornoway? It puts a wedge into their community between Gaelic speaking children and English only children.

"Kindness and respect costs nothing", says the bio of 'Spaniardo10', who compares #Gaelic to a made-up language spoken by aliens.

Paddington criticises 'Sturgeon' for wasting money on this 'unsafe' bilingual road sign on the A835, which was ordered by Labour in 2003 around four years before any SNP administration and independently proven to be safe.

James posts a map of language groups in Britain in the early middle ages which prove #Gaelic was never spoken outside Dál Riata, because history is a static point in time circa 7th c.

@stramash14 @lass_ayrshire Cumbric [Brythonic] was spoken in SW & central belt (including Ayrshire). Gaelic [Goidelic] was spoken in NW Highlands & Islands. Dumfries & Galloway had pockets of both.

[Gaelic Bingo @gaelicbingo]

Ayrshire Lass explains that #Gaelic, a language more or less unrelated to Ulster Scots, "is Ulster Scots", and that her native language is Pictish.

The 'most ridiculous Gaelic story' this chap knows, he explains, in hushed tones, is about the existence of a man who not only spoke Gaelic but was also from Germany, gay and worked in sexual health.

[Longhouses @Longhouses1]

@DrW0mbat My (absolutely true) most ridiculous Gaelic story is Highland Health Board finding & hiring a Gaelic speaking German homosexual to go round North-Eastern coastal crofting communities to explain how to have "safe sex", presumably in Gaelic!

[Gaelic Bingo @gaelicbingo]

In which lots of people get upset at the sight of another language.

William makes a fair point.

What good does Gaelic signage on police cars do anyone?

[Gaelic Bingo @gaelicbingo]

Labour activist Anne (of earlier tweets), who says she respects #Gaelic, explains that "it's not needed" and we should "buckle up because a common sense policy on Gaelic campaign is getting organised".

@MisneachdAlba @JohannLamont @LabourRichard @scottishlabour Tweet seems to have been deleted now but here it is: "Let's finish the job" of killing Gaelic

[Wilson McLeod @WilsonMcLeod]

@gaelicbingo wonderful stuff from Anne in Ayrshire who presents herself as a feminist, a peace activist, a Labour supporter and a Communist (shurely some mistake?) https://t.co/d2M5gaatrh
