PROLOGUE
DOUBTS FIRST CAME TO MIND UPON MY 2016 JOURNEY TO DUBLIN FOR THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATION OF 19I6 RISING, VISITING TWO OUTSTANDING EXHIBITIONS I WAS BEING DRAWN TO BE MINDFUL AS TO HOW DIFFERENT THE WELSH ARE TO THE IRISH. TAKING PART FULLY IN THE IRISH RISING AND ARMED STUGGLE FOR IRISH INDEPENDENCE WERE WOMEN OF
AND YOUTHS OF
AS FOR WALES/CYMRU WE GET MERCHED Y WAWR AND URDD GOBAITH CYMRU ALONG WITH PLAID CYMRU AND LATER CYIG AKA 'CRACHLETS' ALL OF WHICH LEADS TO S4C AND IN TIME A FULL ON 'Y CRACHACH NEWYDD', WELSH ASSEMBLY AND A CULTURAL INDUSTRY THAT MONEY WISE BUYS OFF ANY FOR REAL WELSH INDEPENDENCE STRUGGLE. AS AFTERTHOUGHT I WAS MADE MINDFUL OF FACT HOW FEW 'WELSH NATIONALISTS VISITED DUBLIN AT EASTER 2016 COMPARED TO THE MANY IN 1966 THAT STREGNTHED SOME REAL NATIONALISM OF THE PATRIOTIC FRONT, FWA AND MAC.
SO TO>
THREE CHIEF REASONS HAVE PRODUCED DOUBTS IN MY MIND ABOUT WELSH INDEPENDENCE AS A NO GO!
1: MOST WELSH ARE TOO BRITISH AND INTER RELATED TO THE ENGISH AND WOULD OPPOSE INDEPENDENCE HUGELY.
2: THE WELSH ARE GREATLY SUFFEREING HISTORICAL AMNESIA WHILST SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC LINKS WITH UK TOO GREAT. OUR MEDIA AND EDUCATION SYSTEM ASSIST IN CONTINUED HISTORICAL AMNESIA AND CEREBRAL COLONIALISM.
3: WELSH NATS ARE NOT UP TO A REAL FULL ON FIGHT, AS WITNESSED RE MYNYDD Y GWAIR LAND AND LIBERTY CAMPAIGN. MORE IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN THAN SO CALLED 'WELSH INDEPENDENCE'.
NO LAND SOVEREIGNTY = NO REAL NATIONAL FREEDOM.
TIME TO WISE UP REGARDS 'WELSH INDEPENDENCE' AND FOCUS ON LAND AND LIBERTY CAMPAIGNING OR JUST CALL IT A DAY AND ENJOY LIFE!
GETHIN.
PS:
WELSH NEWS PAPERS VASTLY OUT NUMBERED BY THE ENGLISH PRESS, GO CHECK YOUR LOCAL NEWSAGENTS ESPECIALLY IN WORKING AND UNDERCLASS AREAS. BUT EVEN IN CENTRAL SWANSEA NEWS AGENTS DON'T STOCK UP MUCH ON WESTERN MAIL, MY NA STOCKS ONE WM, SOME DO NOT STOCK ANY, PATHETC! THUS AS OUR PEOPLE ON WHOLE ONLY WATCH WELSH TV FOR SPORT AND ENGLISH 'SOAPS'NOT MUCH HOPE OF THEM BEING INFORMED ON SUBJECT OF WELSH INDEPENDENCE IS THERE?
PPS:
PLUS PLAID CYMRU NOT REALLY UP FOR IT AND LEAVING IT TO 'YES CYMRU' AS THEIR WAY OUT OF AWKWARD MEDIA ATTENTION AND SEARCHING QUESTIONS ON 'INDEPENDENCE'.
WHATEVER, GIVE THIS A GO IF YOU DARE?
THE END.
