That's a fitting analogy. As with homeschooling, Wales is founded on principles of the family, of gaining wisdom from tradition and elders, of upholding innate culture, and of a distrust of central governance, inevitably leading to a desire to break free from those narrow shackles whilst simultaneously maintaining a vehement defence of all that those shackles stand for.

Or perhaps I should just say it's a joy to live in such a diverse and beautiful country.
