THE EISTEDDFOD CONNECTION
.....I guess it's a truth, the Welsh just love the English Crown and that includes Gwynedd home on the range in the Cefn Gwlad for most once really 'Red Hot' Welsh Nationalists, some up for burning bombing schools and holiday cottages. Cofia 1282/Cofia Dreweryn and all that stuff! Fact of the matter despite having had the English Crown whipe out their own 1000 year old Native Aristocracy in most evil of ways, by means of assassination and murder, the native Cymry today have never been too bothered by that. More than just loyal, they like the rest of Wales were swept off their feet by the Tudors (The Glyndwr thing was a momentary madness which comes with being light headed as Geraldus Cambrensis stated was a particularly Welsh condition) and whereas many parts of England and Cornwall were to revolt, the Welsh did not. During the English Civil War Y Cymry were to prove the most 'Royal Region', same too during most radical of times in the 18th century. The ludanam induced French inspired fantasies of Iolo Morgannwg aside, majority of Taffies were really up for their English Crown and Country from Fishguard to Fflintshire, the Taffies sung their ballads of opposition to the Irish and American struggles of Independnce and as Howell Harris joined the Royal Militia.

The Vctorian Age and Taffy really grovelled and pulled forelock in the most deplorable of peculier pathetic Welsh Ways not least in 'Byd Eisteddfod' as the late Hywel Teifi Edwards exposed in all it's ass licking loving for the English Crown in the Victorian Age. It is a great shame for our history that awful Bradwr characters as the Educator Hugh Owen came to mean more and have more influence on our Nation and People than the 'Bard of Liberty' Iolo Morgannwg. It is Huw Owen who gets a UCW Aberystwyth library named after him and a statue along with one of Lloyd George on Yr Maes, Caernarfon, so not suprising in Caernarfon Castle there is an Exhibition to the English Princes of Wales. Not to the 1000 years of Welsh Princes and also since 1969 there have been a number of visits to the town by representatives of the English Crown and there is hardly any protest at all from Gwladgarwyr Gwynedd and none now regards the English Royal Wedding Brain Washing. Along with in the 'Anglesonion/Anglicisation' of Ynys Mon - Mon Mam Cymru rises up no anger, so this below link is for they:

Truth is they, as the Tudor Bards and Poets they have been busy singing for their English supper, some grovel for the crumbs but others have their mouths so well stuffed with Saxon Silver they have forgotten how to be in the tradition of 'Clerwyr Glyndwr' and 'Bards of Liberty' as Iolo Goch and Hopcyn ap Tomos propheciser of revolt, nor as Iolo Morgannwg!

Whatever, I wonder if enough Republicans in Cardiff can get an act together to pull off a great Wales Republican Gathering and Festival on 29 April 2011. Perhaps thinking Beltain and Paris Commune 1831, why not dedicate sections of the Parc Repwblic Cymru after World Republican Left Heroes and events in history to make this an International Republican Left Venture as possble. C'mon Cymru, Cardiff as plenty enough Republicans be they Nationalists or Socialists to make this work, as for entertainment, any Republican Muscians willing to participate free?
