Rich, you have to see the quote in the context of the full BBC article:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c79gg1pyxe2o

Here is another quote from the same article:

"In a post shared to social media, Jones said: "These alerts are
welcome, when necessary, but Welsh first? And then 10mins later the
English version? Really? When there is a severe national alert!?

"No offence, but most people in Wales will be severely injured by the
time they have google translated the alert!"

[ObAUE] : Not only are these unmistakably complaints, they are _AUE
relevant_ complaints. The poster is complaining that Welsh language
should get priority over English.

Follow-up set to Alt.Usage.Welsh :-). [Alas, not possible.]
