I have a suspicion this is less about race and more a rent seeker pig angry about the senedd's new licencing laws around holiday homes.
Wales has a huge problem with rich people buying huge swathes of homes in its more rural communities, driving up prices and forcing locals out.This has been causing some political unrest hear and there.
The senedd's release valve to try and stop it escalating into another Meibion Glyndŵr is to make it so that holiday homes and BnBs require planning permission and are more heavily taxed than other properties of the same value. On top of that councils have had the ability to increase council tax on second homes to up to 300% in comparison to first homes.
These are half measures but they've got under the skin of a lot of landleeches.
