I'M ALL RIGHT TAFF: The Matter of English Lords.

.
I would hope that most Welsh Patriots know at least a little bit about our history, especially those who annually pop up to Cilmeri for some sustainability of their cherished belief that they are doing their bit for the cause?

Have a pint, meander up the road and circle around the ''Rock of Cilmeri'', meander back down the road, have some more pints. Then off home to await the next great patriotically profitless gathering on Dydd Dewi down at the Black Pig Tafarn, meander up to the Museum steps then back to the BPT, great stuff! Struggles are won, like this? NO THEY ARE NOT - THEY ARE LOST, it's called ''Fiddling Whilst Rome Burns'' . No wonder Lizzie Laffs, us ''Taffies'' are such a walk over or should that be so easly bought out, by opportunities for being patronised and made to feel, oh so one of the privileged. Most ''Taffies'' are up for some forelock tugging grovelling as a natural pass time, and will do it for nothing, although most are hoping for a Saxon Award or New Year Honour.

However, our ''Crachach'' much prefer the 'Saxon Shillings'. However, in this post I want to ramble on a bit about those amongst us who seek the highest of English Honours, that being to be made an ENGLISH LORD, this brings me back to some Medieval Welsh History. Not least least consider one of the methods by which Edward I sought to conquer Wales and Scotland on the cheap, no blood, just sweating over the cost, but still cheap really! The means simply involved buying out Welsh and Scottish Lords and Chiefs with ''Saxon Shillings'' and the offer of becoming an ENGLISH LORD, once they went down this road, the English had them by the ''Short & Curlies''. Trust me, this was the truth then and it's the truth now! Now I imagine Dafydd III convinced himself that he had good reason to sell out his native inheritance and country to become an ENGLISH LORD. However, he was to learn that once hooked, you were, yes F*****!, this must have been on his mind as they dragged him through the streets of Shrewsbury to meet a most awful end. Is it not kind of ironic that so many of the great WELSH TRAITORS in our history are named after our patron Saint Dafydd; Dafydd ap Gruffydd followed up by David Lloyd George, Dafydd Elis Thomas and now, soon to be English Lord Dafydd Wigley. Do you get my drift, but what's in a name? see links below re Dic Sion Dafydd...

So we come to the third 'Dafydd' in our contemporary times, all have much in common as all have posed as ''Welsh Nationalists'' after a fashion? The third 'Bradwr Dafydd' we now have to contend with is DAFYDD WIGLEY who after ditching being an M.P, could not get a job until the NLW employed him in some role or another. Having failed since to win nomination to any PLAID LIST regards becoming an A.M. down in ''Ole Tiger Bay'', he now finds becoming an ENGLISH LORD most attractive. Keep in mind that his Daughter in Law Catrin Finch was Carlo's Harpist for quite a while. So, lets face it I do not think Wigley will be protesting much about William of Wales becoming the next ENGLISH PRETENDER PRINCE OF WALES, do you? Whatever, if you want to read more of my mutterings on this pop over to THE WELSH PATRIOT Blog at http://welshpatriot.blogspot.com/ for some really real radical republican thoughts. meanwhile thought I would include here a nice foto of ''Wonder Boy'' Wigly having a good ''Taff Laff'', no doubt at your expense, in more ways than one............

.
.

However, I think this best sums it all up as far as I'm concerned........

.

.

Thus I must remind.........

.

.
Now it's one thing for ''Plaid Pink Pact Pats'' to have lost their voices on this matter, and go around in self denial, having fallen for all the ''Cymric Crap'' spewed out by PLAID and Wigley & Thomas et al on this SELL OUT OF OUR SOVEREIGNTY . However, what about our radical Alternative Nationalists, ''Peripheral Patriots'' and not least numerous verities of ''Welsh Republicanism'', I wonder what their thoughts are on this matter and issue of great import, well to me but what about you? you? you? you? you? you? and yes YOU!
.
I am sure pretty soon we will be hearing much more on this subject of sending ''Taffies'' into the ENGLISH HOUSE OF LORDS from leading lights of new Welsh Socialist thinking as Jill, Leanne and Bethan - Keep an eye on their Blogs. Of course let us not forget New Nationalist Writing as in the blog Miserable Old Fart Miserable Old Fart. Opinions expressed on this blog are mine and mine alone they are not a reflection of the opinions of any party, church, organisation or ...miserableoldfart.blogspot.com/ - 214k - Cached - Similar pages also many other Welsh Nat/Pat/Rep Blogs, most of whom can be visited via links in MOF. Last but not least we can all wait eagerly for words of wisdom from former Good Ole Welsh Republican Gareth ap Sion, possibly in his 'Cambrian Corner', that is Cambria Magazine whom have provided him with opportunity for filling with his, all to sadly post Republican ''Cop Out Crap''.

.
.
Unfortunately, now that Gareth has become a ''Cambrianista'' we are not likly to read any more really radical, dare I say it Revolutionary stuff from our Master ''Athenian'' ap Sion, but I bet he still thinks ''Evil Welsh Extremist'' thoughts. However, if you want really radical reading you are more likly to find it over in Cambrian Nation, NO! Cenedl Cymru Rydd, YES! at http://cofcenedl.blogspot.com/

Where does all this lead us, well no where really, I am starting to think Wales is very much a lost Country and that we are very much followers not of a lost cause but more so a sold out cause, going no where. Although I do not think John 'Sion' Roberts and his ''MACYWIAID ANNWFAN'' - The Future? would agree with me, these PRATS seem to think that I have given up and want their ''Republican/Nationalist Ball'' back. Well me boyos, it's a pretty deflated ball and I am seriously thinking of letting you have it back? But first prove to me, your up to it, like instead of sending me silly threatening ''Poison Pen'' letters, lets you see you in action against the ENGLISH MONARCHY AND THOSE WHO WANT TO BE ENGLISH LORDS, but I mean some real positive patriotic public Agit - Prop Activity, not silly postal threats. Get out of your Toy Boxes and on to the streets and why not at the Dydd Dewi Parade in Caerdydd on 1 Mawrth 2008. First make sure your not marching behind UNIONIST Politicians, and certainly not in the footsteps of those who want to be ENGLISH LORDS - 'Bradwyr Bastards' - you know who? Other than that go and picket the Assembly - DEMANDING INDEPENDENCE FOR WALES NOW! , last but not least, lay some floral tributes at foot of Llywelyn Statue in City Hall maybe, at same time swearing oaths never to endure the ENGLISH MONARCHY, Their Lords and Lackies ever fooling us and ruling over us.

Please Note, I oppose any attempt to ''Politicise'' any Dydd Dewi Day Parades, serious, I mean that. There should be no Political Banners, Flags or Placards on such parades, only Patriotic Flags. If any Patriot wants to make a radical Patriotic Political Point on this day, it should be done separately. In case of the Cardiff event, this may be done after the event elsewhere, but I am mindful and you should be watching out for the organisers of this event ''politicising'' it for their own ends. The Sending of the ''Letter of Treachery'' to the 'SHAM SENEDD' as part of the 2005 Dewi Day Parade was such a ''Politicisation'', as far as any true Anti - Devolutionist Welsh Republicans are concerned. So be watchful for pro Devolution Dilettantism'' using Saint David's Day for their ends, if they do then you have right to protest,YES! Protest! But otherwise keep the Patriotic Peace! Try not to be a WELSH EXTREMIST as the two characters below:

THE LAST WORD, Just be careful, not just of the obvious ''Sell Outs'' but also be careful of fair weather Friends and worse of all F******* FENCE SITTERS!, all are of the nature who at end of the day will say..............................
