TO MARK 22 FEBRUARY 1797: RED REMEMBRANCER APPEAL FOR WELSH SOCIALIST REPUBLICAN UNITY 2011 FOR STARTERS AGAINST THE ENGLISH ROYAL WEDDING 29 APRIL?.


Is it worth bothering with making such an appeal in Wales as in Scotland?

When unlike Welsh Socialist Republicans of 1911, be they the Anglo - Welsh Left, fringe or otherwise or Welsh Nationalist Left inc Helen Mary Jones of Llanelli and Bethan Jenkins of Merthyr Tudful or Leanne Wood of Y Rhondda are running scared of speaking up loud and clear against the English Crown. I am not letting off Labour either but then we know this lot are 'Socialist Sells Outs' and Brits whilst a liitle more 'Radicalism' is expectef from the 'Welsh Nat's of Plaid Cymru pretend 'Republican' Left. Whatever, the truth is that in 1911 Welsh Left/Labour opposion was much more radical in voice and standing up to be counted not least in, Merthyr Tudful and Llanelli, see below link:

However, move on to 2011 and all these ''Radicals'' and ''Republicans'' seem to be running scared, very silent about that English Royal Wedding and certainly none appear to want to stand up and stick out to much by really slagging it off or maybe organise alternative Anti - Wedding Events or maybe 'Camps' as some Patriotic Fringe 'Rad Nats' are doing at a 'Camp Corris' though 'Patriotic Fringers' like 'Socialist Fringers' in Wales are not doing much else really. Sadly we are a million miles away from the call by RAM to Welsh Republican Action against the English Monarchy and it's English Crown representative in Wales - The English Princes of Wales as in 1911 and 1969 and the fourth coming William - another English Prince of Wales. I guess all those who consider themselves to be Welsh 'Radical Republicans' need some encouragment for struggle from our history.

    2. It appears that Wrexham is the worse offender in pushing a Royal Wedding Street Party, yet a town that seems to have a good Socialist activists bunch are very silent and inactive in opposing this Monarchist Nonsense. As for local 'Welsh Nats' they appear to be surrendering their community to the sovereignty of the English Crown and advocating what some might consider possible desertion in face of the enemy to a self patriot Internment in a Camp Corris?
