.Congratulations to Henry Jones Davies, founder and up to recently Editor of CAMBRIA MAGAZINE, after all he has delivered the goods big time regards Dydd Dewi Parade. Depite much I moan about, fair play Wales and Cardiff in particular would be worse off without this event, it's unavoidably going to all come into the clutches of the Establishment now, and Tourism and also commercial enterprises etc. I can even see the day when Cardiff might be painted Green, but there you go, that's how it goes. Like I said better off with it than with out, but still, lets ''Politicise it!'' after all, it's now big enough to allow for that and after all the Establishment, Y Crachach and Celebrity Cymru will be useing it as a platform for their ends, foolish if you believe otherwise? So, Nats & Pats, get out and on it and up for Welsh Independence ok! So, have you made Pro - Independence Banners and Placards yet? After all, I do not think Henry Jones Davies will mind all that much after reading a quote from he, on Vaughan Rodericks blog but it is, his letter to The Independent which really impresses me, as I am only really, it appears now, to be echoing his call to SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY!!! the question to be asked, is are you up for a bit of that? if so, get cracking making S.O.S. Campaign Placards OK!, see previous posts as to what is required.

As a Welsh Nationalist (though I am having a serious rethink on this)I can see no point or purpose in travelling all the way to Caerdydd, to partcipate in a parade down into Ole Tiger Bay to be adressed by ENGLISH LORD - 'Dic Sion' DAFYDD ELLIS THOMAS on steps of the ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT WITH ENGLISH IMPERIALISM. UNLESS IT'S SETTING OUT ON THE BEGINNING OF A MARCH TO SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TO DEMAND THE DUMPING OF DEVOLUTION AND MAKING CALL FOR WELSH INDEPENDENCE!
.
If Nationalists participating in this Dydd Dewi Day Parade fail to rise to the opportunity of occaision, then the point must be made, why did you not just stay in your own communities and celebrate in Dydd Dewi Day celebrations? Just why have you bothered journing to Caerdydd? have you gone for the buzz! or are you there to meet up with fellow patriots as you possibly do at Rali Cilmeri, to no good real positive patriotic purpose! Many will be there just for the beer, these, I expect not much else really from these ''Good Ole Boys'' nor from anyone else who chooses to be a Knee Jerking Posuer Patriot, all of whom can be viewed as little more than ''Camp Following Crach Fodder''. As for ''Tartan Taffery'' indeed dear Dewi please patron Saint help our patriot cause, as it seems those leeks you give 'Milwyr Cymry' all those years ago, are now but things to wave about in pathetic gestures of, often self induced and indulged in gullibility. Whatever, before I go on, I post some Daffodils for you, my dear reader as by way of my Dydd Dewi Day greetings to one and all...

Like em? see the manhole, worked out my sneaky sublime sub textual message? If not I will explain, two possibilities; whilst your walking around with your head stuck where the sun does not shine just watch some BIG BAD BRIT THING? does not crawl out of the Devolution Sewer and drag you down into the mire of murkiness that is English Chicanery. Alternativelly, just watch you do not fall blidly down the drain and take our cause and struggle with you because your just too easily distracted and diverted into believing the fraud that the Dumb Downed Devolution Dilettantes feed you. Of course, it could be a matter of really, most Patriots are just apathetic and happy to go with the flow, following the the Pied Piper and the music of ''Tartan Taff'' Pipes and drums into dead ends. Well! you have been warned!!!!...
.
IT's THE EASIEST PATRIOTISM IN THE WORLD, JUST WRAP THE FLAG AROUND YOURSELF, and in the case of Cymru, just put on a red wooly cap, WRU red shirt, wear a daffodil and wave a leek. Yes! be a 'Max Boyce' Stage Welshman (take no offence Max, I like your act really do?) Even I can do that! It's easy to do this but there is much more to real Political Patriotic Purpose than this sort of stuff, which I dare say is OK! for the Rugby Season but otherwise, please spare me this sort of pointless patriotism. Though rather oddly, the Dydd Dewi Day Parade has becomeing more associated with it's own fancy dress flippancy of ''Tartan Taffery''. Peculier Patriotism that Y Cymry are being caught up in, preferring to dress up rather than ACT UP! You know, like Protest & Demonstrate and Strggle?
.

Sure is simple, just like that! Hey Presto ''WRU RUGBY MAN'', but the Dewi Day Parade, is not just another ''Welsh Rugby Day'' althought it might be one, if it were not for the Church Service at Llandaf in the morning. Then the ''Politicised Parade'' to possibly posture pathetic patriotism before an ENGLISH LORD who really does not have the time for the cause and struggle most patriots believe in. Although, I suspect that now the Assembly and Cardiff Council have a large pastoral interest in, and may be finnancially supporting too? I can see it going down the road of being more the flashy showcase, that is being hawked around as this year's intent by it's ''Movers & Shakers''. Guess what, I really have no great problem with that at all, if the powers behind this want to make it a 'Tourism Showcase' or whatever, that's OK! with me, no problem! My big problem is parading down to an Assembly I and many other patriots do not agree with, then leading Patriots into the lap of that ''Duplicitous Devolution Dilletante'' - English Lord 'Dic Sion' Dafydd Ellis Thomas, who I and many other patriots have absolutly no time for. The Parade organisers have ''shot themselves in the foot really'' as by organising the Dydd Dewi Day event on these lines, they have made it 'EXCLUSIVE' rather than 'INCLUSIVE'.
.
Hopefully next year, they will return to a more ''Non Political'' programme than this years mistake, which has had some radical Socialists call for Demonstrations against a Nationalist Parade? I do not support such call, and have suggested alternatives as; Patriotically Participate but with a Political Purpose, making calls to SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY and DEMANDING AN END TO DEVOLUTION REPLACING IT WITH A PROPER PARLIAMENT IN AN INDEPENDENT WALES - WELSH INDEPENDENCE NOW! Alternatvelly the Parade could be boycotted and those of more radical persuasion go and organise their own Dydd Dewi Day Protest down at the ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT WITH ENGLISH IMPERIALISM, not least Demonstrate against ENGLISH LORDS IN WALES with the message ENGLISH LORDS NOT WANTED!
.
last year I seemed to have upset one ''Super Wrap the Flag around me Knee Jerker'' who sent me a rather threatening letter, in which he rambled on about me criticizing ''Good Nationalists/Republican'' etc. He went on to say, I was running off with the ball, but rather than play their style of ''Patriot Game'' which is a bloody game, I have ran off with their ball. Most of the time they do not play with it anyway and when they do it is being played out more and more pointlessly at Rali Cilmeri and other Commemorative Corners, and now in annually Dewi Day Parading. I should imagine this great ''Patriot'' and his friends the ''hornets'' of the MACYWIAD ANNWFAN - The Future, from whom I have had even more threatening - threatening letters, will have been reading my blog comments this month and be really even more angry with me? But I tell you what boyos, see picture below, I am offering to give you, your ball back, go on take it! By this I mean translate your anger against me, into ACTION! That is PATRIOTIC ACTION! this Saturday, in Cardiff, lets see you become men, not by sending me your really very childish and cowardly threats but by playing a very RADICAL PATRIOT GAME! C'mon take the ball and run with it fast towards a bit of PATRIOTIC PROTEST ACTION! or, is the writting of poison pen letters, the only card in your deck? So, see below, your can have your ball back, that is if you got the B****! to pick it up and play with it, not play with yourselves but protest down on the steps of the ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT WITH ENGLISH IMPERIALISM! In other words Boyos - Put Up or Shut Up OK!!!!
.
.
The Posuer Pretenders aka ''Idjeets'' aside, I hope some real genuine radical Patriots will pick up the ball and play, the Protest Card, as time is running out for our Patriotic Cause and Cymru. Yesterdays BBC WALES/ICM Oppinion Poll on Devolution etc, whilst positive in a little degree, most Political Commentators are saying that if a Referendum was called now or even in 2011, it could be to close a call, possibilities are any Yes Campaign would loose! Now, truth is we are between the Devil and the Deep blue sea, yes we could loose but not to hold it in 2011, to leave it just means forget it! Why! You know why! there are dozens of reasons, not least shifting population trends, Welsh Labour and PLAID get cold feet and too compfortable with Status Quo, Labour out and Tories in BGE, that would put the Cat amongst the Pigeons?. Then there is the matter of our younger population becoming 'Apolitical/Apathetic/Acculturalised' and totally disinterested as they slip further into the realms of 'Celebrity Cymru', see link here, to Assembly Welsh Idol Initiative, pretty depressing (but of course fixed!) >>>BBC NEWS Wales 10 shortlisted in Welsh idol vote She said: "At the end of the day we just wanted to find out who people thought, at this moment in time, was the Welsh idol. "It's a really interesting mix. ...news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/wales/7270556.stm - 1 hour ago - Similar pages WHAT A FIX!!!! WORK IT OUT!!! Protest about that on Saturday too ok! .
Now read the serious politics in following links below, but before you do think on all I have been writting about in my blogs this month in lead up to Dydd Dewi Parade 2008. Ultimatly the bottom line is this, when are we all going to get off our bums and get up and at it, with an attempt to organise a SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY CAMPAIGN, and out of this make greatest of effort to mobalise a mass MOVEMENT FOR WELSH INDEPENDENCE. The talking and the blogging in our Patriotic Corners and Closets must come to an end, we just got to get on to the streets, into the Shopping Malls and around the doors in all our communities. We must attempt to enthuse our people in same way as you will be enthused by parading for Dewi, we must enthuse our people in the same way with more and more MARCHING FOR WELSH FREEDOM, SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE.
.
Let that March begin on Saturday in Cardiff 01 - 03 - 2008 make it an historic day, so if you have not made a Placard yet, make one today. If you have not a Baner Glyndwr, buy one tomorrow at Castle Crafts Shop opposite the Castle, loads of Baneri Glyndwr must be to fore of the march for 'Dic Sion Dafydd' to have waved under his nose. Only in such ways will you make it absolutly clear, that the main reason you have gone to Cardiff and march down to the Assembly is to showcase not this Assembly Vision of Wales, but to showcase your VISION OF CENEDL CYMRU RYDD - CENEDL GLYNDWR RESTORED AND SENEDD GLYNDWR RE ESTABLISHED, and ain't that the truth. or otherwise what a wasted day, that's real radical patriotism talking! Now read on>>>

My Political & Joking photos aside, here's my best ''Cambrianista'' style ''Catalogue Look'' photo my Daughter took it, had me posing for ages as she tested her new Camera on me. I think I will use this one, on back jacket cover of my book, after all who will take a 'Pirate' or a 'Silurian' seriously. This reminds me, watch out for TV documentry on Spartacus soon, which reminds me, I guess I must admit that when it comes to Welsh Idols, Owain Glyndwr has Lewis Lewis - Lewsyn yr Heliwr to compete with as far as I am concerned. When push comes to shove, I am not as confused as Bethan Jenkins et al. At end of the day, I ride not with the Lords of the Nation but with the 'Barefoot Welsh Doggis', after all I am a 'Brother to the Ox'. Gethin.
