Independence would leave a majority in Wales of non-Welsh speakers who might not respect the language concessions that came from Westminster to buy off separatism. Remember that Neil Kinnock broke ranks to campaign against devolution in 1997 with the terse cry: 'You all know what devolution means, don' t you? "Jobs for the boyos"!'.
