A Welsh Radical PLatform: containing information on history of peoples popular and radical political struggles in Wales, verity of articles with similar themes plus promoting peoples history projects to persue. Not least,radical initiatives for those with an interest in persueing more of an Adfywiad Goch Cymru than a patriotic or republican resurgence.
At this place under the escarpment high to the right (see picture below) , they met with fierce resistence from Workers firing muskets and rolling rocks down upon the British Troops, retreat they did but for a while. Then continued on to Cefn Coed y Cymmer where they were greeted by Women who followed them into Merthyr to the sound of their 'Rough Music'.
In Merthyr, the soldiers occupied the Castle Inn to defend the Towns Iron Masters and Petite bourgeoisie lackeys, from this Inn on 3 June 1831 they fired on workers and people killing at least 26 - This was the 'Merthyr Massacre' for which there is no memorial, no plaque, no mural and now no Castle Inn remains to remind of this tragic event in Welsh Working Class Interest. Other than the annual tribute made at Plas 3 Mehefin 1831 by Red Remembrancer - Cymdeithas Lewsyn yr Heliwr - Please join us this year.
Owain and Gethin Gruffydd of Cymdeithas Lewsyn yr Heliwr in a show of solidarity greet Pobl Powys walking from Canol Cymru for the 24 May protest against Pylons at the Welsh Assembly. Later we went on to Methyr to consider this years 3 June Marthyr Massacre event.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST CONSIDER Y GWERIN OWAIN - OWAIN's FOLK:
"There is enough evidence to suggest that this last Great War of Independance 1400 - 1416 - 1422 served to liberate the peasantry as, for example, Lord Grey had 146 serfs at the start of the war and at its end he had eight. The war, I dare say, provided many of the peasantry with the opportunity to run away from bondage and yes, to join in on some pillaging. Evidence further suggests that, following the war, many of the peasantry occupied the isolated highlands and common lands with 'Tai un Nos' where they remained until post 1484 coming of Tudor to the English Throne, the murderous brutal regime of Rowland Lee was set upon Wales to purge the land of 'Bandits' The beginning of great land enclosures to amalgamate the estates of Tudor Lords in consequence prompted a "land war" which dispossessed many of the 'Y Gwerin Owain' in the 16th century. It is from this period that we have the cry of the peasantry of Caio, "Trech Gwlad Nag Arglwydd". Further, there can be little doubt that many of the "liberated peasantry" of the Glyndwr period became the "Gwerin Owain" outlaws whose descendants the "Banditti Cambria" were also much hunted down in the 16th century. Other peasants would have become mercenaries and fought on both English and French sides at Agincourt in 1415. Also note, Glyndwr's army was often referred to as the "Barefoot Welsh Doggis" hardly a description of a 'Welsh Knightly class'. All this in mind leads Welsh Remembrancers Sian Ifan and Gethin ap Gruffydd to present to our readers a new blog dedicated to memory of Owain's Folk - Who whilst the Gentry would come to despise, they the 'common folk' would keep his memory alive and cherish down through the ages - In much the same way as Mexican Peasants 'Remember Zapata'.
Emiliano Zapata Salazar (August 8, 1879 – April 10, 1919) was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution, which broke out in 1910, and which was initially ...

However, do note I totally oppose any attempt to take over and dominate the Protest Oganisers main purpose upon reaching the Assembly, let them have their day - Listen patiently and take aboard their messages and calls for support. After which I suggest Socialist Progressive Actvists and Radical 'New Left' Welsh Republicans go and occupy the 'Basin in the Bay' for an 'impromptu' Red Republican Free Festival all done with out grants aka 'Saxon Silver'. However, one and all join the March and start to greet and support the walk from Canol Cymru to Cardiff at Merthyr, I suggest! C'mon lets make a massive show of Solidarity in Struggle against exploitation of Wales Colony. To help you prepare for this, see my new blog below:
This will all stand you in good for the Real Red Festival 'Atomomous' in Merthyr Tudful in a Red Weekend 'Autonomous' Remembering 1831. See Previous Posts in Red Remembrancer blog. Also why not hold something local to remember the fall of the Paris Commune during week of 21 - 28 May 1871

The Welsh Comminist Party seeks for the Welsh assembly to become a Peoples Parliament and to this end are possibly relaunching their Peoples Charter Movement, I am prepared to suggest that all Welsh Left Progressives listen to what they have to say which is possible at a WCP Day School in Cayo Arms on 28 May - Yes Anniversary of the Fall of the Paris Commune which I am sure will not be lost on the WCP and even at this late date could organise a little something to remember this historical left event, not least a minutes silence in memory of the executed Communards (Info blog posts above).
