Below from Event Organisers:
Is it possible to advertise the Sat August 18th march in Llanelli to your members /contacts mailing list. ? This is the annual commemoration of the August 1911 Llanelli Railway Strike when a national railway and dock strike was called in response to starvation wages and up to 70 hour working weeks { at this time the railway was run by very profitable private companies}. Only in Llanelli were the tracks blocked and trains held up by mass pickets when other workers joined the protest. With the ports blockaded and the rail link to Ireland severed in Llanelli, Winston Churchill, the home secretary, mobilised 50,000 troops across the UK. When soldiers opened fire and killed 2 by-standers in Llanelli, the town rioted. The strike was settled and railway workers were given higher wages and shorter hours.
Ironically a century later we are still campaigning for a living wage and proper public services in Wales. The theme this year is the battle to preserve our local health services and all are welcome, including families and children. Local historians will point out the places of interest as we pass. The Cambria marching band will again lead the march.
Assemble Llanelli Station 11.30 am for the 20 minute walk to town where there will be a rally and speeches. Those who wish to attend are welcome at the Box Cemetery later{aprox 3.00pm} where wreaths are to be laid on the graves of the 2 young men shot dead by soldiers.
Thanks,
Sian Caiach {on behalf of the 1911 Railway Strike Remembrance Committee}

Comment: There is no need for there to be an FWA Banner at this event, the FWA no longer exists and if commemorating they then at least add date of FWA demise in sorry full surrender at 3:00pm Swansea Court House on the 1 July 2012 and then still not used in connection with what is clearly Socialist History Commemorations. This banner and as well as 'Racist Remarks' at both Llanelli and Cilmeri events 2011 as well as bad language etc used at the Balchder Cymru Dic Penderyn event in Port Talbot 2011 as resulted in BC being banned from holding their hoped for annual event there which is now being organised by the Labour Party and about time the Cambro - Brit LP took an interest in our Welsh Working Class History and both celebrated and commemorated as not least the Great Unrest 2012.
All three above events; Llanelli, Cilmeri and Port Talbot 1911 were attended by BC and it is their supporters or 'hangers on' and/or Cambria Band 'Camp Followers' which are linked with both the FWA Banner and reported racist remarks. Thus, close attention needs to be focused in this direction at above events and if the FWA banner appears event organisers should request it be taken down. Needless to say anyone heard making Racist remarks needs to be told in no uncertain manner go. In these times when the Patriotic Fringe Right is again getting over concerned with issues of 'Mewnlifiad' and associated 'Afordable Housing' being seen as for those forced out of English Cities by Tory Housing Benefit Cuts. This is something the BNP and EDL/WDL could use to their advantage via 'entryism' into Nationalist Patriotic Fringe, this occurred before when the NF Political Soldiers attempted 'Entryism' via 'Old FWA' Nationalists of a right wing persuasion though they were not directly knowingly concerned. It would be to more useful advantage to Wales. if Nationalists, Republicans and Socialists united with the Great Unrest 2012 Group in Campaign against Unemployment and Depopulation.
