DYDD DEWI CARDIFF PARADE 2010: For Radical Patriots Much Ado About Nothing!

.......unless you are an Adfywiadwr Gwladgarol and prepared to take advantage of every opportunity to advance the struggle, what struggle and yes you may ask? For Devolution ? No forget that for the moment as the Politicians dither about when to hold the Ref and what question to ask. Up to now rather reluctantly I have supported a YES VOTE but that could change to an abstain position and suggested strategy if I am not happy with that all important question or questions? WHY ARE ALL NATS SO QUIET RE A QUESTION ON INDEPENDENCE BEING INCLUDED IN ANY REFERENDUM? Whatever! back to Dewi Day Parade in Cardiff, have been serching the web for Info and have ended up confused, the Cambria site states the parade is still down to the 'Sham Senedd' but the Cardiff Council Web Sites, says it is to end on Hayes Island in City Centre, all quite baffling to say the least especially as the Cambria Parade is supported by the council. So I suggest you go on web and visit both sites to check out what is what and whilst visiting the Cambria Dewi Day web site note open invitation to organisations to represent themselves with contingents, banners and flags. So, the likes of Balchder Cymru get to it, do not be just the boys in the band, why not use occasion to promote campaign against English Princes of Wales and their Investitures. All you mostly useless Retro and Romantic Welsh Republicans aka GOBs & their fanciful fellow travellers, maybe it's time for you to show you have some guts still and use opportunity on this St Davids Day parade 2010 to launch a RAM = Republicans Against Monarchy campaign against the 2012 Diamond Jubilee of her English Majesty. HHHhhhmmm!!! but that's politicising the Dewi Day Parade, but then Cardiff Council co sponsor of the parade as part of their 'Weekend Tourism Break' promotion is backing the presence of the British Army with recruitment stands at Castle and outside Tafarn Glyndwr as per usual. So they have already politicised Dewi Day in the City in the best tradition of Azincourt Taffs! Just maybe if the R&R so called 'Welsh Republicans' are not up for protests against the British Army on Dewi Day then maybe PLAID's pacifist left 'Femme Fatales' will be joined by the anti any war 'usual left suspects' to do some picketing maybe, that'll be the day? Last but not least those of you who are true pobl Glyndwr will I hope make a better patriotic protest effort this and in future years, making sure that there are as many Baneri Glyndwr taken and raised up on the Parade particularly to the fore where the Cambrianista organisers have banned them from appearing as the 'sell out' price of seeking Cardiff Council and WAG support for their parade. One last shot at 'shites' and 'sell outs', if the 'Cambrianistas' do lead you by the nose to the Sham Senedd do please, if an Adywiadwr Gwladgarol boo the Lord Protector, if he makes and appearence. All this is being what you might call radical nationalism in action, sadly something most 'fringe' patriots think is no more than parading about at Cilmeri and on this Dewi Day Parade annually. Yes Patriotically and Politically Pathetic but can you expect it to be otherwise from the Patriot politically bewildered and most definatly patriotically challenged passive petitioners and now face book fusiliers. Happy but radical Dewi Day.
