If those three gay men had been killed by ‘right wing extremists’ then politicians would have condemned the act and LGBT campaigners would have been out on the streets. But because it was an Islamic extremist everybody stays schtum for fear of being seen as racist!

So I popped “round the corner” for a quick look and hey ho N.C have a good one up today

Mouth piece of an allegedly nationalist party wants to give “black history” some space. All well and good but how’s about some real Welsh history for starters then we can look at our more recent arrivals and delete all the other shit about the colonisers’ history

Welsh Welsh iron-workers never made any slave manacles.

This was mainly because the Iromasters, the new industrialists of the time were either the anti-slavery MPs in the Westminster House, or for the first time paying black people the same as white people as wage earners in the industry. There’s statues of them in Newport, Cardiff, Llandinam and Tonypandy. Please don’t let this weeks virtue signalling erase our own history.

Slave manacles were made by Ambrose Crowley and there’s a statue of him at Greenwich, London where he was the benefactor to the royal observatory.

If McEvoy is still looking for a new name for his party, try Plaid Gall Cymru, as opposed to Plaid Wallgo Cymru which is already well established as a haven for all sorts of screwed up unbalanced peddlers of fantasies.

Plaid Cymru is off the wall. An easy target for a sensible nationalist party focusing on Wales.

It has not occurred to him that, if the manacles really were made in Wales, then Wales should be demanding an apology on behalf of the Welsh iron-workers who were made to manufacture these items forsuch an insidious purpose with no benefit to Wales, but with profits for a few iron-masters who may or may not have been Welsh.

It is difficult to see how an internal colony, with no autonomous political infrastructure with which to ban such manufacture, could be regarded as complicit in the economic policies and activities of the (neighbouring) power that owned that internal colony.

“There could never be a free Wales when others still lie in chains. This is a truth that our history teaches us, for so many of those chains were made with iron forged in Wales.”

Adam Price, in a nation.cymru article, makes it clear in his usual long winded way that he ain’t gonna lead Wales anywhere, certainly not to independence, too many external conditions to be overcome before we move across the goal line. He could have said we will strive to be free and then, when liberated, we will take up these great causes and piss into the wind with others of a similar persuasion but at least do so as a free people. Might be a bit virtue signalling but more akin to worthwhile priorities.

They never stopped coming during the ban; Llangollen is full of ‘East Britons’ who have been taking a circuitous route and avoiding the heddlu. The streets there are still clogged with traffic and tourists, according to a local source.

There’s nothing I can do about it. I have no control over the company and I don’t have the CH code therefore I cannot make any changes. There’s no fear of bailiffs because I’m not a director nor am I listed as ‘person with significant control’. My address is not being used as the address for the company.

My worry is that this company bearing my name could involve itself in some unsavoury business, people would see the name and assume the worst.
