The recent "controversy" over James McClean singing along to "he hates the f*cking king" is further proof of how the BBC and the British state are disconnected from the people of Wales. We do not worship this "Royal" family that has been imposed upon us.
Gweriniaeth Cymreig!
"If it wasn't for us you'd all be speaking German"
If it wasn't for you the Welsh would speak Welsh in a majority
If it wasn't for you the Irish would speak Gaeilge in a majority
If it wasn't for you the Scottish would speak Gaelic in a majority
Breton football fans singing the Breton national anthem "Bro Gozh ma Zadoù", which stands for "Old Land of My Fathers" and uses the same melody as Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. Breton being one of the closest languages to Welsh along with Cornish.
Its Wales, the signs will be Welsh, if you don't like it don't travel here. Its the same in every single country the signs will be in German if you're in Germany, Swedish in Sweden etc. The English have a superiority complex which demand that everything must be done in English.
It should be illegal to change the historical Welsh name of a house, these names have a long history and tell a story. Ancient Welsh homes being bought up to be second homes and having names that date back centuries being exchanged for "cosy cottage" is a disgrace.
Genuinely such a bizarre video, Yma o Hyd has specifically anti-Tory lyrics, never mind the whole message of the song being the reliance of the Welsh people and our language to the attempts by the British state, unionists, and all the Dic Sion Dafydds (like Andrew) to destroy us
If you don't fully support the British Union Jack as your national flag, I suggest you fuck off somewhere else on the planet.
Yes it's fine to have your Welsh, Scott, NI flags, but as a National symbol of collective Great Britain, The Union Jack can never be replaced.
Why on earth did we learn about America in the 1960s in year 6 instead of the rich history of Wales, Welsh history was not near taught as thoroughly as it should be. From the age of Brenin Arthur to the foundation of the Senedd, the Welsh need to learn the history of our nation.
If we don't kill the second home industry in Wales, otherwise it will kill our communities, our language, and eventually our nation.
This is our nation, our homeland, not a holiday park.
They hate our language, they hate our efforts to save our native language, they will smear us, they will try to shut us up, but we never will, siarad Cymraeg is an act of total resistance.
Laughing and joking with two Tories, Crosbie who was parachuted into Ynys Môn from Essex after failing to win in the Rhondda, and Asghar who last year was trying to run for mayor of London. Hardly politicians who seem to care about the Cymry.
A section of the Welsh population seems to still be infected with the "Welsh Disease", a product of 700 years of subjugation which causes these people to lash out at any suggestion that the Welsh should govern their own nation. They hate the idea of their own freedom.
The only time a visit from the Queen was halted and cancelled on the mainland of the UK was in Aberystwyth, 1996. When Welsh nationalists and students protested and blocked roads that the royal convoy were to take, bringing an early end to her visit there.
The Welsh never saw the material benefits of their resource rich land, resources that could have made the Welsh people amongst the richest in the world were stolen from us. It was extracted and then transported east and around the world by private companies and the British state.
Thousands of jobs on the verge of being destroyed and there is barely a murmur of opposition, we're nation of beggars and cowards. Too afraid to stand up in any meaningful way beyond grumbling about it, if this was France there would be uproar.
Something that is quite common in South Wales is there is just a generation that stopped speaking Welsh, you find families where either the great grandparents or grandparents spoke Welsh fluently and then they just didn't pass it on to their children.
The entire Welsh nation gets half as much funding as the big business of Canary Warf, the priorities of the corrupt British state is obvious for all to see, they have contempt for the Welsh.
Owain Glyndŵr was not a legend, not a man of myth, he was of flesh and blood, as you or I, he realised that the situation of Wales under English rule was untenable, that when stripped bare English rule was alien and unjust. He then raised an army and struck for Welsh Freedom.
Plaid Cymru believes Welsh artefacts held outside of Wales, such as the Mold Gold Cape, the Moel Hebog Shield and the portrait of John Ystumllyn, should be returned to Wales and used in a way which benefits the nation from which they originate, rather than be held elsewhere.
Why is there a statue of William marshal in Wales?
A Norman responsible for the subjegation of conquest of the Welsh and who ruled over stolen lands. We barely have statues to our own heroes of old, yet we erect statues to those subjugated us?
Some people might not be aware but a group of hateful English second home owners have organised a group on facebook opposing Cyngor Gwynedd's measures to control second homes, the members of this group are open about their hatred of the Welsh language and people
Ordering those who do not have a love for the Union rag to leave? In Ireland, Wales and Scotland the flag symbolises foreign rule and the subjugation of our nations. It is a minority in these nations that identify with the false "British" identity, maybe its about time you leave.
Land & Lakes, a company based in Windermere, Cumbria, is planning to flatten the Penrhos Nature Reserve on Ynys Môn in order to build another holiday village, this cannot be allowed to happen. We have to make them fight for every inch of land. This is our homeland, not a resort.
One of the biggest mistakes of the Welsh nationalist movement over the past few years is holding the belief that the British state will play fair and allow for us to campaign and vote our way to independence. They won't even allow Scotland to have another referendum.
Labour party seem shocked that Welsh people don't like a Londoner policy wonk who works for a think tank being parachuted to run in their constituency after not spending a minute there prior to his selection.
The union jack does not and never has represented the Welsh nation or the Welsh people, not even in its design. It symbolises the Union of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland. Not Wales. Britishness is simply an extension of Englishness, nothing to do with the Welsh.
"Free the small nations"
Irish Republican poster showing solidarity with the various small nations of Europe, including the Catalans, Corsicans, Basques, Welsh, Scots, and Galicians.
There was no referendum offered to the Welsh people on the issue of lowering the number of Welsh MPs from 40 to 32. That was simply forced upon us by the Tories.
The fact that the Senedd is to get 36 more MS’s without a referendum is a scandal in itself to be honest.
I have many constituents who don’t even believe in the concept of devolution where the turnout for Senedd elections has barely risen above 40%. (1/2)
One of the most renowned British legends is the tale of King Arthur and the sword in the stone. As the story goes, only the true king of England could extract the sword from the stone. Interestingly, a lesser-known but similar story can be found in Tuscany, Italy, and some even
Welsh Nationalism is not a hobby, it is not something "trendy" to do on the weekend, it is a struggle that our forefathers and ancestors have bled and died for, our freedom is our birth right as Welshmen
The absolute worship of the tourism industry has to stop, if your political ideas revolve around "what's best for tourism" then there's not a Welsh bone in your body, you essentially wish to see your nation reduced to a caravan park with its own flag

You know it. You are being paid to push it. Leave good men and women alone.
Why on earth do loyalists use the Welsh flag, as a people we've never engaged in loyalism, and unlike Scotland the Welsh had a minimal to non-existent role in the plantation of the North of Ireland.
Supporting Welsh and Scottish Independence, as well as Irish reunification, would be classed as extremist under this. This is political persecution by an authoritarian British State, attempting to keep its prison of nations and peoples together when it is near collapse

Second home owners made it near impossible to buy a home in rural areas of Wales and then act surprised when the locals put up anti-second home stickers, you made your bed now lie in it. This article is ridiculous and biased.
What the fuck are "Welsh" Labour up to, genuine smear campaign. There is such a thing as having the ability to oppose both Labour and Tory corruption, but apparently they can't fathom this.
Remember that the small group of weirdo Swansea fans who enjoy roleplaying as loyalists are a tiny minority amongst the fans. Abertawe had a massive nationalist/independence march last year and they did fuck all
The youth of the Welsh nation are the beginning of a nationwide awakening in Wales, they see that the status quo of the "British system" is not working, never has and never will. They want a radical solution, to save our nation,our communities, and out language. A Welsh Republic!
Reminder that the British state and British intelligence likely assassinated Scottish Nationalist activist Willie McRae in 1985. When the British state feels threatened by dissent they have no problem using the same tactics as the Russian state.
There was no special video or even a post about Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant from the leader of a UK wide political party. Only the Patron Saint of England has earned the recognition of Keir Starmer.
On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish everyone a happy St George’s Day.
Let us be proud of our national identity, confident on the world stage, and sure of our country’s future.
NEW: Support for the monarchy has fallen under 50% for the first time in the UK, a new poll has found
The Savanta research, described as 'huge' by Republic, shows the monarchy is losing support fast
In the shadow of artificial mountains of waste slate, hundreds marched through Blaenau Ffestiniog to demand a deddf eiddo (a property act) to change completely how houses are viewed in Wales, to move away from houses as assets and towards houses as homes. To save our communities

Despite running in a constituency where 45% of the population are Welsh speakers, the Labour candidate for Ceredigion Preseli has not produced a video in the Welsh language, nor is the post itself bilingual.
As a nation, Wales must stop looking at houses as simply another commodity to be bought and sold to the highest bidder, but as homes, and as a vital part of the fabric of a community
And this is what Slovenias railway network looks like, a nation nearly the same size as Wales and with a population that is smaller. Small nations are simply better than larger ones.
The UK economy is 11 times greater than Finland.
GDP per head is higher in Finland than the UK.
Their train service is publicly owned.
Have you ever had the feeling you have been conned…
Happy Independence day to Slovenia! Who in 1991 fought a ten day for for their independece from Yugoslavia. It is around the same size of Wales at around 20,273km2 and has a population smaller than that of Wales. It sets an example for all small nations who seek independence.
🚨 NEW: ITV has blocked the Scottish National Party from taking part in the first election debate on Tuesday after Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer "refused to debate" with the party
A grassroots Welsh independence youth group has taken responsibility for spray painting English translations of Welsh place names on signs across Ceredigion
Genuinely such a shit map. None of these names are Welsh they were all devised by English authorities, the "shire" name is wholly English and does not come from Welsh names for these areas. The system of "counties" must be gotten rid of entirely and replaced with Cantrefi.
The County of
#Radnor
(Sir Faesyfed) is a Welsh inland shire.
The geographic territory of

roughly corresponds with the Welsh territory of Rhwng Gwy a Hafren.
This fell under the control of Marcher Lords in the 11th Century.

It's quite funny that Labour only uses the Union Jack branding when campaigning in England. While in Scotland and Wales they completely drop it because they know the symbol is the opposite of a vote winner in the Celtic nations.
@TrueSlazac
The difference is one type of nationalism seeks to expand and crush other peoples through imperialism and to assimilate them (see British, Spanish or French nationalism), while the other seeks to defend the unique cultures and languages of those small nations through nationhood.
The usefulness of a language should not be judged by number of speakers, this is genuinely such a neo-liberal way of looking at the world. Not everything can be measured sheerly by numbers and lines on graphs.
"Ammanford" is the anglicised name for Rhydaman, 75% of the population there speak Welsh, why use an anglicised name that is not in common usage in that area.
The Reform candidate for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, Lucy Murphy, who can not spell the name of the constituency and has her location set to England, is from Derbyshire and was living there as late as 2022.
Had word from MEW activists in Wrecsam that tomorrow for Dydd Dewi Sant the "Prince of Wales" as he calls himself will be visiting Y Cae Ras in Wrecsam. If you are in the area make sure you make your voice heard, we don't want a tywysog sais!
Dros Weriniaeth Gymreig!
Smug bastard, he has no respect for the role of first minister, the institution of the Senedd, of Welsh democracy itself, or of Welsh culture and cultural institutions which he is currently throwing in the bin. All with a smug look on his face.
The superiority complex of *some Plaid Cymru supporters is absolutely staggering! Somehow you’re less Welsh if you don’t speak Welsh or vote PC. It’s so condescending and patronising! Utter drivel.
Wealthy second home owners are threatening to overthrow a democratic decision made by a Welsh council. Cyngor Gwynedd will vote on implementing the measures to limit the amount of second homes on June 11th. These measures are supported by the majority of people in Gwynedd.
She created S4C,
- Lowered taxes
- Increased wages
- Brought business to Wales
Made us believe in ourselves again after years of being crippled by the left and union rule.
She did more for Wales in 11 years than what Plaid have or will ever do.
Cofirms that the so-called "Prince of Wales" will be in Wrecsam tomorrow to have some pictures taken. Any Republicans or Nationalists in the area make sure that the Welsh are not seen as servile dogs to this foreign monarchy!
