WELSH HISTORY TO FORGET: GET A LOAD OF THIS AND IN THE HEARTLAND OF SOCIALIST WALES TOO?


In November 1934 the Schools in the Socialist Pontypridd area had not been closed so the kids could have a day off to celebrate the Royal Wedding of Prince George and Princess Marina of Greece - The Duke and Duchess of Kent. They were to be married at Westminster Abbey, of course they were! Now I just know you will be gagging for more info on this and wondering what the hell it's got to do with Wales in 1934. Pretty bloody sad really but wait a little, get a load of the Royal Wedding first:

    HISTORY WE WOULD RATHER NOT KNOW ABOUT


    So what did a load of loyal Royal Taffies do, why organise protests and got the kids to picket the schools and effectivelly made sure they were closed. So the kids could celebrate the Royal Wedding with their Brit Royalist Mams and Dads. As after all in Pontypridd what kid dare cross a picket line in the Southern Socialist Valleys? Info from Metro item which also had a photo of the picket, chase down on the web if of further interest. Far better remembering Kids with the left idea:

    WELSH REPUBLICAN ACTION AGAINST ROYAL WEDDING, APART FROM RAM -
    A BIG ZERO? Sure that's PATRIOTICALLY PATHETIC!

    Meanwhile in England Republicans are getting very active and in the face of the Royals, so where are 'Welsh Republicans', not least Cilmeri's 'Garibaldies' and oh yes Adam Balchder, Hayes Cymru 1400 and Paul Red Dragon all gone very quite but then have I not always said that when 'Push Comes To Shove', they have no real appetite for RADICAL REPUBLICAN RESURGENCE do they? No doubt they will be at Rali Cilmeri along with other well known Welsh 'Do Nothing' Republicans aka 'Garibaldies' as Lockwood, Westacott and Hinton et al. But then where are all the former WSRM members and of course not least the so called Plaid Cymru 'Brit Guardian' Republicans, where have all these 'Welsh Republicans' gone? Surely not everyone to the Rali Cilmeri Twighlight Zone? Anyway read below and think up some great Welsh Republican Initiatives and ideas or am I just pissing in the wind?

      Keep in mind, I have already suggested various ideas in previous posts but I am beginning to think that Radical Resurgence wise be it Welsh Republican, Nationalists or Socialist all is quite near the cemetary, like FIN!
