The failure of l’Assemblée nationale in France to support the reunification of Brittany is a travesty. Despite the vote in the National Assembly it is clear that on every level the argument in favour of reunification was won. It could not be clearer that  Brittany reunified, representing 4.5 million people would increase its economic potential. In not supporting the reunification of Brittany an opportunity for potential growth, job creation and prosperity for the Breton people has been squandered.

Historical links between Norway and the Isle of Man have been well documented by historians and scholars for centuries, but during November there'll be an opportunity to learn more about an exciting music collaboration between the two countries; with school visits, workshops and a concert at the Centenary Centre in Peel.

As reported in University of Aberdeen News: 'A project to develop an international world-leading framework for the teaching and learning of Scottish Gaelic is being launched at the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen.

The project is part of the Soillse research network, the National Research Network for the maintenance and revitalisation of Gaelic language and culture.

There has been worldwide condemnation in regard to the revolting murders undertaken today by the cult known as ISIS. This dreadful organised band of murdering thugs that call themselves Islamic State  are a bunch of evil killers. Nothing should be said to excuse their disgusting behaviour. There is no excuse. We all need to think of those minorities who are being abused, murdered and displaced by this gang of killers. All support from the Celtic peoples goes to the the Kurdish fighters who stand against this murdering scum.

So they think it is a great thing to have posted pictures of mass murder (they call it beheading)! These grinning idiots who have perpetrated these crimes are very warped and evil people. Our sympathy goes out to the families and friends of those murdered today by ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). Our sympathy also goes out to the minority peoples across Syria and Iraq suffering mass extermination at the hands of this disgusting cult.

How can anyone not be outraged by the so called Islamic State of ISIL. Lets not mince words here, these people are scum! Anyone that has seen their trail of destruction and murder across Syria and Iraq can be nothing but disgusted. Our sympathy and support goes to all of the minority peoples that have suffered at the hands of this revolting organisation.

Using data from the Unesco Languages in Danger project a list drawn up by  Christopher Moseley, University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies points to 33 languages in Europe in danger.

However, Manx (Mannin/Isle of Man) and Cornish (Kernow/Cornwall) are pointed out as examples of what can be done to support languages seen to be at risk. In both Celtic nations concerted efforts are being undertaken to promote their languages.
