My Little Republic
Its a shame its more of a Republic in Wales rather than a Republic of Wales group in my opinion. As with alot of organisations that operate in ...mylittlerepublic.blogspot.com/
Anti Team G.B. Posters, yes is needed and does serve a purpose and it is great to see some one getting off their backside also as a BC Initiative - act of Political Patriotic Consciousness Raising it is fine and what they should be doing. However, may I suggest that anyone proposing to represent Welsh Republicanism needs first and foremost consider their priority to be up front and in the face of the British Crown in and over Wales. Thus it is obvious to me that in the first place such Republican Representation needs to be focusing all effort on organising a National Welsh Republican Welsh Republican Consciousness Campaign against afore mentioned Diamond Jubilee and right now raising funds to provide 1000's of Posters. Also if possible producing stickers and T - Shirts, even Souvenir Mugs etc to send out the message 'Wales Says Stuff The English Crown' or whatever, so get to it and stop just chewing at the edges, that applies to all whom see themselves as Welsh Republicans.
Secondly, given what Dafydd Elis has been saying about a future Wales and Royalty, then to me it is obvious there should be launched against the very real threat of having one day he as the Lord Protector Britannic Confedration Euro sponsored Govenor of Wales. I suggest a Poster campaign against he, not least in areas that will vote for him in the present Plaid Leadership race plus of couse in his Constituency and down in Bae Caerdydd around and about the Assembly and in area of Plaid Head Office in Cardiff too:

Where I Totally disagree with 'My Little Republic', sorry to say I must ask
where the hell are you coming from with all the clap trap, let me put you
straight as your fast back tracking on some good stuff you wrote out once
I guess out if desperation of there being so few Welsh Republicans about whilst what's left of whom were good as leading lights of WRM II and WSRM have retired. You are now in desperation mode of having only Patriotic Fringe Debris to deal with, yes it's very sad but that's the truth unfortunatly but if your serious about your Welsh Republicanism and I presume you are and that you have read the Book 'Yong Republicans' by Cliff Bere then you should be able to see clearly the difference between the likes of Cliff Bere and Pedr Lewis et al and those you are now attempting to associate with. Lets take a look at these so called 'Welsh Republicans' you mention in post below:
My Little Republic: Just a few things on the year ahead.

4 Jan 2012 – Cardiff Bay Republican Day will go on from last years success and become an even bigger platform for republicans of all persuasions.1: Balchder Cymru Republicans, if you mean of the 'Garibaldi' school but on the Whole their Republicanism is as it was for Cayo and Coslett emotional rather than Politically sound:
That is fine if that is what they wish to be, myself am more of the Mazzini School:

WELSH ---------- Serv U Fem 35 Mddx Domestic ......Giuseppe Mazzini the Italian patriot, who was born on the 22nd of ..... took him afterwards to see the school established in Clerkenwell for the Italian organ boys. ...2: Cymry Rhydd Republicans, yes they are all over the web but who are they as there is an host of 'Welsh Republican Pretenders' (some possibly WECTU) as the 'Young Republicans' and Christopher Davies who was of a now abandoned Cymru Rhydd. Pedr Lewis was talked/fooled into being a member of but shortly before he became ill, he resigned from and told me why and provided me with written material as to why he did resign. Material copied and now with other Alternative Nationalist Archivists working with me, sussing out further before depositing at the National LIbrary. Whatever, that group disbanded under much heat from myself for very good reasons, trust me! So who is this other 'Crowd', I do not fall for the WIP connection but whom am I to doubt this possible truth but it will be of great interest to many to have members of this group name themselves and come out front.
3: Leanne Wood Republican she will not win the Leadership race, already a 'Red Scare' tactic is doing the rounds which will put off 'Crach Power' whom know with where their bread is buttered best. Leanne as with her 'Socialism' likes to press buttons in the left direction and for show gets her into the Guardian, she is more a 'British Republican' that a Welsh Republican, as for Bethan? Interesting you do not mention Welshrepublic.org:

So, I suggest that if Welsh Republicans cannot get a proper Anti - Jubilee Act together then join with they and if in London, I suggest a Welsh Anti - Jubilee event at Iolo Memorial on Primrose Hill:

The Rev Joseph James mentioned above was a local
Head Master who in the late 1940's led a community
campaign of resistence to the British Military retaining
the Preselli Mountains has a permanant Training Ground
as they were to do on Epynt and elsewhere in Wales. The
campaign was successful and since a memorial has been
placed locally bearing a line by the Poet Waldo Williams;
'He kept the Preslau from the Beast'. A Victory for us to
commemorate for a change, I shall have to go down and
suss location and take a photo of the memorial. I would
have known nothing about this unless I had picked up a
local Visitors leaflet recently at the excellent 'Cafe Becca'
at Efail Wen.
Now, This above is the first great leap towards true Welsh Republicanism,
abandon Welsh Medievalism and commemoration of Welsh Native Royalty,
hardly Republican unless of course your a 'Garibaldi Royalist Republican
Renegade'. I can see BC members goping into 'Cold Turkey' but I have
abandoned Rali Cilmeri and this year hence I shall be abandoning Owain
Glyndwr Commemoration in Machynlleth in favour of a William Jones June
Commemoration or going to Ireland to commemorate the United Irishmen
defeating the Welsh English Royalist Dragoons,
SIR WATKIN WYNN AND THE ANCIENT BRITON DRAGOONS 'The

Thus Welsh Patriots will become more true Welsh Republicans and not confuse themselves and others by popping up at what really is Welsh Royalists History events, I further suggest Welsh Republicans have a year zero at 1485. In conclusion it has often crossed my mind that would not have Welsh Republcans been better served via the Wales/Welsh Left, after all a number of WRM I members did go into the Labour Party whilst Cliff, Harri and Pedr rejoined Plaid Cymru and it was they who influenced me. However, I am fast coming to the oppinion that apart from David Lawrence most of the breed I refer to in this blog are 'Nationalist Republicans/Republican Nationalists. Now again proving fatal to ever seeking and finding a bona fide Welsh Republicanism coming back into existence, come back Gareth ap Sion and Gareth Westacott all his forgiven. Though on the whole I feel that Welsh Republicanism would have a better chance of arising as a Red Socialist Republicanism associating with Radical Wales rather than the 'Green Nationalist Republican that flirts with Plaid and Plant Crachach or in the super Patriot 'Platform' that 'My Little Republic' now works for.
Last but not least, I suggest for real radical Welsh Republicans their cause will be better served with setting up a Republican Camp on Mynydd y Gwair over 8 - 10 June to consider how they will challenge and combat an English Aristocrats ownership of that Mountain. That is what Irish Republicans would do not cosy up in a Cardiff Club at an event you will not see Leanne and Bethan at ever again for sure. Though they just may be at the Barricades in Stryveland?
