.We can dream on, that one day when we are free and our people are no more Uncle & Aunty Taffy Forelock Tuggers, all these plaques and memorials can be taken out and used as road fill? This is what Countries that become Independent Nations do, from India to Lithuania the symbols of Foreign domination are removed but also note in recent years all of Franco's Statues have been taken away on the Spanish Mainland. Same regards Stalin and Lenin, they too were removed in the Baltic States. Even in America's ''Deep South'', a ''New South'' in some quarters is embarrassed by the images and iconography of the ''Old South''. So, out has gone in many states the Confederate Battle Flags, and Schools, Parks and Streets have had name changes. The names of Confederates Generals being replaced by names of leaders of Black Civil Rights, do a search on the web and you will find some interesting reading on all this.

I fancy it will be many years before the Welsh are up for a similar Patriotic action but I suggest Patriots start doing a survey and inventory of English Royalist Plaques and memorials in Wales. Here's an idea, with 1911 coming up for it's 100th anniversary in 2011, I imagine a grant could be wangled out of the ACW to do a foto book on this. Other than that, black Cross em! as I have done with that Carlo plaque in Caerdydd and post fotos to your blogs or send to me to post up in my blogs.

Now, I did not daub the pillar box below, I just took the foto, honest! I think I spotted this in Aberystwyth? It reminds me of campaign carried out by Scots Patriots in the 'Sixties', they did a similar thing but as a protest regards not recognising Elizabeth II but as Elizabeth I in Scotland. They appeared to be O.K. with Elizabeth II being Elizbeth I of Scotland, all to do with the Stuarts and all that!

Yes you read right, as far as I am concerned Rali Cilmeri has reached it's 'Use By Date', FIN! In recent years it has been more use to 'Cambrianistas' to use it to promo 'Dydd Dewi Day' Parading in Caerdydd than as what should be a 'Cilmeriaid' priority re promotion of an annual Patriotic Protest at the Gate of Caernarfon Castle. For this I attach blame to the ''Good Ole Boys'' and associated allies who desire above all else to avoid any real struggle or maybe some have a more harm full intent in mind of diverting radical Nationalist attention from radical Nationalist Action towards following Pied Pipers down to the Welsh Assembly building to prostrate themselves before the arch 'Devolution Dilettante' - The Lord Protector - Dafydd Elis Thomos. The real awful thing is, that this has been tantamount to some renegade treachery, in so far that a few so called Welsh Republicans are to the fore in this revisionism. One day they may perhaps attempt justifying their treachery and perhaps cowardice? How often do I have to call them ''Shites'' before they do? F****** Shites, there! I said it again!
