REMEMBERING WELSH RESISTENCE 1963 - 69: The FWA and Patriotic Front Anti - Investiture Campaign.

.
My FWA Welsh Military Living History Re-enactment Society one man outing to a Living History Festival, of course I am not serious about an FWA - WMLHRS but nevertheless such will be considered over in my WELSH PATRIOT Blog in due course, in a feature on such societies.
.
Whilst at this festival, I keenly observed all the Military hardware on display put in place by Military Re-enactors and by the British Army, and it just got me thinking!!! Next time around, with Investiture III in mind, we got to think big! What we need is some heavy armour, as the Challenger tank below, we could really demolish Caernarfon Castle then!
.
Naughty! Naughty! such thoughts are going to get me in serious trouble again unless the 'powers that be' realise I am only being wickedly humorous and winding everyone up. HHHhhhmmm!!! But still, it's a thought and beats playing about with toy guns?
.
However, on the serious side please note that the anniversary of the death of FWA Commandant Denis Coslett is on the 20th May, please as from that date lay floral and ivy tributes on his grave. I have suggested to BALCHDER CYMRU who made Denis leader of their ''Liberation Movement'', that they organise a fitting special event to commemorate Denis. Also with patriotic purpose of opportunity to repudiate the 'Character Assasination' attacks on him in the book Freedom Fighters Wales's Forgotten 'war' by John Humphries.
.
We will soon see just who exactly are the fair weather and erstwhile 'Friends' or true 'Old Comrades' of Patriot Denis Coslett. Date suggested for such a commemoration being Saturday following 20 May, keep eye on BC blog for further information? Other than they, I am sure that all those who drank with Denis in Tafarn Llywelyn on day of the annual Rali Cilmeri, many of whom got medals from Denis at the Cilmeri Cenotaph will rush to organise a worthy commemoration if the 'Balchderiaid' fail to do so?
.
Interesting is it not how the establishment and so called ''Intellectual Intelligentsia'' can put up with a Drug Pusher. Giving such preferential treatment with articles in magazines and in other media, as well invited to festivals also a film made of his drug pusing life. But not patriots as Owen Williams and John Jenkins, what is it about our oh so pompous self styled ''Cutltural Intellectual Elite'' that they avoid real patriots as if they have the plague.
.
An example of this will be witnessed at the NLW on the 14 May when an event called Cofio 69 is to be held which will give the ''Cultural Crachach'' opportunity to spend public money glorifying their poetic and otherwise useless pathetic pacifist 'non struggle. contribution to the Anti - Investiture Campaign in the year of 1969. This Aberystwyth event complete with a £10 costing evening of 'Wine and Cnapes' really looks to be very exciting, of course in this case Howard Marks will not be attending but Peter Hughes Griffiths, John Meirion Morris and Gerallt Lloyd Owen will. This I am sure will overdose the 'Cultural; Nationalist' attending this event to Cofio'69 who these days seems to be short on cultural events and other stimulating activities on the edge of existence in socio - economic decline and soon to be in the grip of 'Swine Fever' Wales which includes Cymru too, perhaps not!
.
Me thinks! an idea springs to surface, possibly on the 1 July later this year, we shall have an 'Old PF/FWA Comrades' reunion in Swansea Market with Faggots and Peas, Cockles and Mussels all washed down with some Ginger beer. How does that grab you? and there will be no standing on ceremony, as we take a little trip down memory lane on a guide tour of Swansea Court House in which there will be an exhibition on the trial of the 'Swansea Nine', like hell there will!
