ANGHOFIO TREWERYN?

.
A £30.000 donation from the ''Sick Senedd'', a well timed offering during Eisteddfod Week, no I do not think it is a sop to sentimental 'Crachach Newydd' cultural nationalism, nor do I think it's an appeasement of the 'Cultural Right' to keep them on board good ship 'Coalition Conspiracy', nor an attempt to buy some votes for the soon to be Carwyn led Welsh Labour Party. Nope, I think it's one big blatant pay off to 'Y Crachach Newydd' for staying stwm! over the Investiture issue, so much forgotten by this 'Cultural Right' crowd of nationalist renegades now living in easy street after getting fat dipping into the 'Language Lunch Box.

If that sum of £30.ooo might not be an huge sum, and it's expected that Patriots raise the rest, up to some £80.000, are they serious? How much is the land owner getting out of all this? The Anuerin Bevan statue in Cardiff only cost £20.000. and are patriots not forgetting that John Meirion Jones, has been trying to raise money for a number of years for a splendid sculpture to symbolise the drowning of Cwm Celyn. Would not the money be better sent there? But, I guess as far as the WAGgers are concerned it's better to have a provocative memorial a ''million miles'' away from the scene of the deed of exploitation.
.

.
Whatever! lets get a bit revisionist here, and put things in a clear perspective, Cwm Celyn is a symbol of defeat, apart from Owain Williams, Emyr Llywelyn and the boys from Gwent and others Plaid Cymru took the pacifist road, not even considering occupying the village, why? maybe something to do with compensation? Yes! the valley was lost under water, as countless acres has been lost to the Army and Forestry Commission and now Windmill Plantations. But I suggest to you, that the money be better spent elsewhere, as for example on a LAND & LIBERTY CAMPAIGN to combat Cheque Book Conquest.

Somewhat ironically, the Western Mail after reporting the above re the memorial fund, the next day reported on a survey done of youth on the Eisteddfod field and found there to be no real interest in Treweryn, all just history now, can you blame the kids for not showing much interest or understanding that the exploitation of our land continues. But, lets face facts it's all been part of the great 'Crachach Newydd' myth making of a Welsh History in their image, as recent nonsense at NLW re that Investiture - Eisteddfod protest. Lets face facts, Wales did not suffer a Potato Famine as Ireland did or an 'Highland Clearance' as the Scots did. However, we did suffer an Aberfan and countless ''Aberfans'' in our Coal mines, the road backwards from Aberfan covers an history of 1000's of brutal deaths, and also the stealth death of tuberculosis, consumption and disease as Cholera. The Industrial History of Wales is more than just a few drowned valleys but rivers and rivers of blood, so lets get things into perspective.

.

That is not to say, the drowning of Cwm Celyn is not important, but remember it was the heroism of Owain Williams and others that have made sure that an English City will never again attempt to drown a Welsh Valley. Not some student painting a slogan as the sum total of his so called ''Revolution Years'', oh yes! he wrote a few rebel songs, he would now rather not be reminded of. But he's hardly a ''Victim of the Sixties'' , he's just another Fat Cat with sticky fingers in the Cultural Nationalist Sweet Shop. These, Y Crachach Newydd would do well to remember, that they have failed Wales and the struggle, as the language continues to decline, Rural Valleys depopulate, and we become a failed impoverished nation ruled by a ''Sick Senedd'' of corrupt politicians bankrupt of ideas as what to do.

.

This in mind Y Crachach Newydd clapping their hands over the futile gesture of a crumbling wall being saved for posterity whilst the nation dies, will do well to remember what the young Kurdish people of HALABJA did to the memorial to the 1988 massacre - they destroyed it, as to why? I suggest patriots google the web for the HALABJA MEMORIAL PROTEST. Possibly considering their own radical protests when the WAG Political Phonies unveil their 'Cofia Tryweryn' wall.

The Struggle Continues, maybe?

REMEMBER 21 OCTOBER - EXPLOITATION DAY
