No I do not really mean that but after seeing, buying and sussing the below book, I thought what the hell! let Adam & Paul run riot with their 'Wannabe' fantasies to give the Crachach heart burn! But the truth is they could not even manage that on a good day and for why I will touch on below. After first dealing with this wonderful example of Crachach self glorification and censorship of Welsh History which of course is not new. They did it in the 16th century, done 'down and diasappeared' Owain Glyndwr, there after they served their 'West Briton' and later 'Cambrianism' well into the 18th & 19 centuries, down to our present times as with Lewis Lewis, Edward Morgan and Dai's Cantwr et al so too Cayo, Coslett, Glyn & Toni, Owen Williams, 'The Boys from Gwent'; Dave Walters and Dave Pritchard, not least the 'Abergele Martyrs'.

You will see from this book just how 'Y Crachach' are such a Self Serving and Self Advancing basically bunch of Quislings - England's Client Tribe in Wales. So what's 'in' this booklet but more importantly whayt's 'not' in this book >
.
IN: Glyndwr, Cromwellians, Rhyfel y Sais Bach, Merthyr 1831, Rebecca, Chartists, Radical Romantics, Tithe Wars, Dr Price, Penrhyn Slate Strike, Suffragettes, Tonypandy, Robert Owen and on into contemporary times, kicking off with 'Tan yn LLyn', 1926 strike and of course 'Cofia Dreweryn' (no mention of Owen Williams or the 'Boys From Gwent'), Rock & Roll (Youth Revolt, I spose?). Not least how could they not include CyIG great pull the Road Signs down, largely student campaign aka kicking of the 'Jobs for the Boys' struggle of the post WWII 'Baby Boomers that were to, in time become 'Y Crachach Newydd' aka ENGLAND's CLIENT TRIBE IN WALES. Also included is Peter Hain's Anti - Apartheid Campaign and, sigh!!! Greenham Common and guess what that's where it ends!

Spotted what's missing, if your a Nationalist I will give you 'One Second' to come up with the answer, if not a 'Nat' I will give you a minute. Yes! What's missing of course is the 'Welsh War Against English Rule in the Sixties' by the FWA and MAC, neither is given any space, nor to the ADFYWIAD GWLADGAROL against the Investiture of an Englishman as Prince of Wales. Such would be comparable to Rebecca Rebellion and the 'Tarw Scotch', even Glyndwr's war but no! Not even Meibion Glyndwr's 'Arson War' gets a mention, even though that is much comparable with Rebecca, Tithe Wars and Rhyfel y Sais Bach. However, for 'Y Crachach' doing England's Educational 'Murder Machine' work better such is shunted into the Shadows of History, best forgotten or it might undermine 'Crachach' Quisling Rule in Wales, ain't that the truth! How could we expect different?

Whatever, the booklet is still worth buying, as are others in this series, if just for pleasure of the excellent illustrations. But if we want an history of our own struggles, a secret book for the education of 'Grown Up' Welsh Children we will have to do it ourselves. As for Adult Education, thankfully in recent times there are many books. published or being published on the 'Sixties' Forgotten Welsh War of FWA & MAC and the Adfywaid Gwladgarol of the Patriotic Front and other 'Alternative Nationalist' organisations of a militant Patriotic Fringe. Not least of course there are my blogs as: Alternative Welsh Nationalist Movement & Struggle Archive.
