Great investigation of the Nazis, racists and criminals mobilising the flag-on-lamp-posts movement. This is the kind of journalism that the national media could and should have conducted:

What the Dutch just told us about Wales’ future Simon Hobson, Co-founder of New Wales In the Netherlands, a young leader, Rob Jetten, has emerged as the fresh face of progressivism. His rise offers a simple but profound message: that politics built...

The United Kingdom today is an imperial project gone stale. Its politics is a theatre of nostalgia, performed by the same privileged cast. And Wales, too often, is still made to play the supporting role in someone else’s fading story ✍️Simon Hobson, New Wales

Didn’t Sultana vote against devolving the crown estate In Wales? Do they support independence? Or are they just like the established “british left”, seeing us as voting fodder for their WM ambitions-If so then fuck off!

Disagree. Labour winning in WM almost always relied on winning Wales and Scotland. It’s only after Blair and his lurch to the right that Labour could safely rely on ruling with English votes alone. My point was: even when our votes were crucial we still were not afforded any respect or consideration

BBC under fire as Plaid Cymru missing from Laura Kuenssberg show despite election win THE BBC is facing criticism over not including Plaid Cymru on its flagship Sunday politics programme, despite the party securing a seismic…

They’re terrified.

They can’t cope with Plaid in the ascendancy, let alone the SNP or Sinn Féin.

They’re hiding under the bed hoping the Scots, Welsh and Irish will simply go away.

So not only were the victors -Plaid Cymru absent, there was actually no-one at all from Cymru? It was all WM Anglo Politicians. What better argument FOR independence from these political narcissists.

The “british” left and its attitudes emerged when England still had an empire. It has always shown profound hostility to Welsh national existence even as it depended on our votes to govern WM. A lasting positive of the Caerffili result may yet be the death of british nationalism in Cymru

Farage's Partner in Brussels Fraud Probe: £613,000 EU Funds Scandal Explodes Laure Ferrari faces criminal charges over IDDE misuse. Auditors flagged fake invoices and ghost salaries. Links to Farage's Reform UK and £885k home raise integrity fears amid 2025 probe revival.

Why Is Farage's Partner Involved In Brussel's Fraud Probe? Here's What We Know

Wales Online is just a blur of text constantly shunted aside by pop-up adverts.

Deform are the epitome of English nationalist interests and they should-and will-be referred to as exactly that. But they could also carry the moniker of “The Racist party”, or-“The fascist Party” equally well. “British“ means “english“ as anyone who seriously follows politics within the UK knows.

Landing in the online shop Sunday...

One thing that really stood out in the build up to the Caerffili by-election was the, not very subtle, bot activity in favour of Reform.

They’re there to shut you down and drown out other views.

I suspect it is asking for too much to expect Reform to act honourably and drop the racism, because they wouldn’t have much left on offer without it. But other parties need to call them out at every opportunity ✍️Martin Shipton wp.me/p8Mk4U-17NU

Yes it is, England take note but there has be the genuine option of a party that is inclusive, believes in social justice, progressive policies and being anti racist. Plaid are all this and much more. It was easy choice for some lab voters to switch as lab are none of these things. Good luck!

That’s an excellent post Emily, it‘s good to know that this agenda is still pushed however disappointing the fact that it still need to. Like most people of my generation I learned about our history as an adult from reading Gwyn A Williams, R R Davies, A D Carr etc. And I did history to A level.

“For weeks this online mob has polluted any article or post about Caerphilly with their abuse, laughing emojis and blatant political illiteracy of ‘Plied,’ ‘Welsh speaking Liebour’ and ‘something, Nation of Sanctuary, something’”

🗳️ But bots can’t vote ❌

The best graffiti I’ve ever seen will!

Some graffiti has appeared on the Reform UK office in Caerphilly.

Following a by election last week which Reform lost someone has written “now you can fuck off home”.
Reform had made immigration a key issue in by election.

Keep your pettiness’s. Ive already applauded the people of Caerffili, Lindsey Whittle their worthy representative and Plaid Cymru for standing up for Cymru, Y Cymry, and for refugees-an issue that has drawn Labour into a policy race to the bottom alongside Farage both chasing the racist vote.

And that is the problem “..the money they ALLOW Wales” why are we in a position where we tolerate being given less than our worth and needs? Morgan promised having two lab gov would near no more begging for money. She couldn’t even answer if she’s even asked for more.

Yes you’re right. But that churlishness is still all around us especially in the english media reporting Deform’s loss and Labour’s collapse rather than Plaid’s victory-it’s diagnostic of the British context that we‘re forced to endure as a colony.

I’m not being uncivilised your being oversensitive because your party lost And your having a hard time dealing with it. That’s not my fault. Lab have had a 100 years of doing a terrible job holding our country back and filling their own pockets. London doesn’t even know where we are let alone care.
