I just did a sea
rch of the Web for info on May Day 2009 events in Wales, unfortunatly very little happening. It does not look as if Calan Mai blog has been able to move things forward any, nor are there any attempts to at least organise a traditional Celtic Beltane Fire Festival but what there is plenty of, is Prince Carlo Hi-Jacking this Celtic and Workers day for his own self promotion as a ''populist prince'' with an overwealming onslaught of green fascism! Is that taking it a bit too far, then maybe 'Green Imperialism' would be a better term to use, especially in a Colonial Cymru Context. I suggest if you have not got a Celtic or a Workers May Day to attend, then attend one of Carlo's Green Days to protest at, and ask awkward questions. See link below for details of Carlos Campaigning Green May Day.

In the mean time note I still consider that Swansea has a better claim to being location for a National Wales May Day Festival, for reasons stated in earlier post, that being because it was in Swansea 1793 that the Workers had the first major revolt in Wales. Whilst in 1796 Swansea workers again rose up and held a mass march on and around Swamsea, this prompted great fear amongst the bourgeouise of an ''Insurrection'' as in America and France, sadly not to be, but still annually worth commemorating. Whatever, have a good and happy Mayday and do not forget raise up your red flags.

As a Post Script, note that personally I am pissed off with all Political Parties and consider that what Wales needs is something akin to the Italian Lotta Continua and 'ASKATASUNA' Basque Libertarian Movement with a touch of the Black Panthers and Radical American Indian Movement.
