Many thanks Jon (Redstag).
In no way is this a dig at England or it's people, these atrocities happened over a hundred and fifty years ago, and I doubt that many in England, or any other civilized country would be party to this kind of behavior today.
I've tried to convey in this image, what the child was going through, when she was standing all alone, maybe only seconds before she was punished in front her class mates.
"History is a window on the past, and a lesson for today and the future".
Thanks for all your brilliant comments.
Regards Tony

I love this picture and your description brought a small memory to mind-- My husband was a University English professor-- a great deal was made or using correct "English" and sentence formations. The children seemd to be doing alright with this-- but I was very carefully told by their lady school bus driver that --the very minute they stepped on the bus, they slid seamlessly into "Valley Talk"-- the local lingo which is a language unto itself--- I am afraid THEY would have gotten a placque to wear had they tried such at home-- All very funny now !.
thanks for the memory!

History is a fickle thing Tony - strange to think that when Edwaed Longshanks had suppressed the Scots, the Welsh almost took most of England! At least welsh language and culture is growing strong again. Seems just as English culture seems to be on slide (Big Brother) and the language has been butchered!

Excellent portrait with beautiful tones.

Of all the images that I have in my portfolio, I think the comments on this one are by far the most interesting and heartwarming. Apart from showing me what a great bunch of people there are on EPZ, It shows quite clearly that none of you took offence, at what could have been a very provocative image and description.
If I had uploaded this without the graphic description, hardly anyone would know what it was about, and it took me quite a while to choose my words carefully, as not to offend, or make anyone feel uneasy.
I apologise for not being around the last couple of days, but the flu bug has hit me quite hard, and I'm feeling very much under the weather.
Regards to you all, Tony
