St DAVID's DAY PARADE 2008: It's a long, long way from Cilmeri?

.

How did that 60's Nationalist Song go? something about........Underneath the Union Jack, we will never be free?.......I will tell you this much for free, if you continue to march mindlessly under Baner Dewi....You will never be free either?....that's the truth and Radical Nationalists really need to realise that or otherwise our Cymric Cause will conclude going down the drain of Devolution Dilettantism, trust me!

You may just parade on regardlessly and see where it gets you and our struggle for Welsh Independence? Parade as much as you like but at least carry fourth the patriotic call - WE DEMAND WELSH INDEPENDENCE NOW OK! Stop and Think! then DEMAND AND END TO DEVOLUTION - DEMAND A WELSH PARLIAMENT. Look! Listen! & Learn! from the Freedom Struggles of over peoples, not least the Baltic Peoples and those of Euskadi and Catalunya, stop being so SOPPY and SENTIMENTAL BUT RATHER BE RADICALLY RUTHLESS IN STRUGGLE TO SAVE OUR SOVEREIGNTY. Otherwise you will be stuck on a slide down a very SLIPPERY SLOPE TOWARDS THE DEAD END OF DEVOLUTION DEFEATISM AND DISILLUSIONMENT.

Lets be honest, what was achieved by that Dewi Day Parade 2008, caused a stirr in City Centre for a little while, after which along with the rest of the City, the populace as per usual ignored Dydd Dewi, you saw few Leeks or Daffodils being worn, good from my Adfywiad perspective but still it's a measure of a certain ''Welshness''. I will deal with this in greater detail elsewhere at another time, suffice to say now that I actually support the annual Dydd Dewi parade because, if there is no effort to hold such, then over the years ahead there will be nought to advance any ''Welshness'' over more and more ''Anglicisation'' or as they call it now ''Multi - Culturalism''. However?....

There are two things I am critical about re Dydd Dewi Parade, in main the lack of respect to 'Baner Glyndwr' and the fact that certain Patriots seem to think that this parade, is of great political nationalist signifigance over real Political Patriotic struggle, not least radical Nationalist/Republican Struggle in Caerdydd itself. To my mind and belief, I can see no reason why the annual Dydd Dewi Parade, anywhere, inc in Caerdydd is not the matter for local authorities, Chamber of Trades and Schools, not least Cultural Organisations as Yr Urdd et al, as in Abertawe and Colwyn Bay. If nationalists are to make contribution in practical participation to an annual National Parade in Caerdydd, then they should clearly do so as representing the Nationalist Movement and Struggle other wise they are wasting much valuable patriotic time and effort on rather flippant gestures of ''Wrap the Flag Around Me'' type of ''Knee Jerk Patriotism'' which gets our cause no where. As this year with Patriots parading to the ASSEMBLY OF APPEASEMENT, see pic below>

However, how can we expect much different when the annual Rali Cilmeri has become a platform for this type of posuer and posturing patriotism and not the place where radical 'Adfywiadwyr Gwladgarol' are made? As for so called ''Welsh Republicans'' participating in Dewi Day parading, particularly this year with it's patronising of ENGLISH LORD - 'Dic Sion' Dafydd Ellis Thomas and his ASSEMBLY of APPEASEMENT with English Imperialism, I am at best bemused! Should not ''Welsh Republicans'' be engaging themselves positivelly in Patriotic Protest day of Action around Caerdydd against British Army using Dydd Dewi to recruit, or be down the bay in Protest Action against the Assembly? No! I suppose not, this is Wales, not Ireland or Lithuania, Euskadi or Catalunya. However, it's on their Patriotic Concsious, if they have one? As for Dydd Dewi Parade, I hope the organisers will recognise the stupity of their slavishness servillty towards that Assembly and his English Lordship and next year maybe conclude the parade in Castell Caerdydd or in Millenium Stadium or Sophia Gardens. Not in the Bay increasingly Tir Crachach, to slip and slide up to Politicians, for what good purpose???

Whatever, I did I hear the band playing the well known tradional Patriotic refrain......

.

.

It's a long, long way from Cilmeri...

.

.
....So, is that...

.

...of Adfywiad Cilmeri - Adfywiad Cymru - Adfywiad Gwladgarol?...

.

.

....The clouds are greying and a great black hole opens in the ground, into which patriots might fall, if they do not wake up in time? But we shall see, do visit the Cilmeri Tribute/Archive Blog at http://coffadcilmeri.blogspot.com and of course this blog>>>>
