So where does Heads of the Valleys Initiative Regeneration go from here? Expect WAG to fill a begging bowl or maybe Gorden Brown will deliver, that will be hoping. The Regeneration Appraisal Documents has been done and delivered, the Conference held and Huw Lewis AM has got a few Sound Bites out of it on TV and on the Radio. But what next? Sit around and wait for a miracle, meanwhile Merthyr continues to get slagged off as a ''town of slackers'', time to prove just how mistaken everyone is, not least the pessimist pundits of the media. Lets get an ''Act Together'', and that act is a plan of Socialist Self Will and Self Advancement led by the same Spirit that witnessed the workers and people of the Heads of the Valleys rise up in 1831 against all odds, to make a stand for Liberty and Freedom from Tyranny and Oppression. Today the people at the Heads of the Valleys must focus aspiration and inspiration on and around a great International Welsh Socialist Festival, a major long weekend or even week long event of many activities from Merthyr to Hirwaun, and including Aberdare and other communities in the valleys of Glamorgan. Now do not sleep on this start seriously thinking about it, all of keen interest meet during Insurrection 1831 Red Week 2008, first week of June and discuss, to begin with many of the ideas and initiatives in this R.R.Blog. That will be a good start, just take it from there but whatever, make a start in direction of Self Help and collective community action.
