The Red Sunday Rally of Miners and families at Penrhys called for an Hunger March from Wales to London, to coincide with the opening of Parliament. Myself would hope we will not ever again witness Welsh Workers marching to London again for any reason and certainly not cap in hand singing for their supper along the way and in the streets of London. To Hell with that! before that happens again, up the barricades first? Continued below after some history:

Instead Welsh Workers and their families also supporters need to start marching on that 'Assembly of Appeasement' in Bae Caerdydd to demand that they do not implement Tory 'Colonial Cuts' legislation in Wales. Indeed Anti - Tory Coalition Governnment A.M's should have the guts to resign rather than participate treacherously in implementation of these Tory 'Acts of Aggression' upon our Country, Our People and Our Communities. Fin! lets not fool about lets get RED & REAL! Why not Picket WAG on 4th November anniversary of the Newport Rising 1839. On the 6th, a Saturday that day the Wales V Austrailia Rugby Match will be held at the Millenium Stadium starting at 2:30pm, ideal occaision for handing out leaflets calling for support for RED RESISTENCE and a March on WAG but when would such be suitable? Giving time to organise; plan and prepare promotional and campaign material for RED RESISTENCE TO TORY CUTS IN WALES.
So to the Barricades, I mean symbolically of course, maybe some Red Theatre behind a 'theatrical barricade' (See musical Les Miserables) on steps of the Assembly, that would be good with the Red Choir providing some RED MUSIC, in mean time one and all learn the words of the Rebel Song noted in link below:
