Question Begs To Be Asked, why is it the Left in England are so up for commemorating the Tolpuddle Martyrs in such a big way. But in Wales we all but forget the 28 plus Working Class Martyrs of the 3 June Massacre outside the Castle Inn during the Red Week 1831 Insurrection? No plaque, no mural and no commemoration, why?

See earlier Posts for further information on radical workers leader Lewis Lewis and the Hirwaun/Merthyr 1831 'Red Week' Insurrection. Industrial Heritage body 'HERIAN' goes a bundle on the Chartists but forgets Insurrection 1831, I wonder why that is? Why don't you ask them!
