The Size of Wales



I don't understand how you can be a Welsh Nationalist (small or big n) and not be a British Republican first. Of course you can be a Welsh Republican but if you diss and dismiss the land mass next door wot conquered us then you are living in a bubble and you will fly away in it and pop over the Irish Sea somewhere and land in the Gaeltacht and realise that it isn't all 'man gwyn man draw'. Take a breath. I like to write blog posts when the wind is battering the hatches. There is something end of the world about it and haven't we all been living an end of the world script over the last two years with Covid 19 and the threat of another War? You can read some of my storm inspired posts at the bottom of this one. 

Wales is a ridiculous size and shape to be an Independent nation but that is what we yearn for, those with Welsh names, the aps and the Owains and the Llywelyns among us. Those names tell of a Welsh Royal Family and the blood and soil nationalists want to get back to that. Another blydi hierarchy mun like wot they've got down the Job Centre or down Porth y Teigr where the cyfryngis and the crachach play their middle class game of accumulating wealth through the medium of the Welsh language.

I don't want a Sovereign Nation. I want an Independent Republic. I want the House of Windsor gone and a British President sat in Buckingham Palace. Who knows the first one could be Huw Edwards of the BBC. Perhaps he's playing a brilliant game of Shoni bob ochor and when the shit hits the fan and we person the barricades up the Mall who knows Huw might come up there in a Pony and Trap and announce his Presidential Manifesto. He might end up wrestling Michael Sheen for the title, the not for profit actor from Port Talbot. He'd make a great first British President having played both Brian Clough and Tony Blair in the films.

Middle aged men like myself have to have a certain amount of restraint when talking about the Queen because our parents were alive when she was at the top of her game in the 1950s having just been crowned in multicolour on the telly. Who can ever forget the anecdote about Queen Salote of Tonga?


There's no sound on this so you can keep reading as you look out for the all smiling Queen Salote. That is what made her stand out in drab, austerity post war Britain. She was smiling. Don't forget there was still rationing until 1954. Were the Royal Family subjected to rationing like their subjects or would they have had grouse and caviar as per usual? Who knows? The flys on the wall of Buck House have long since shifted off their mortal dung pile. 

I make light of things in my usual cheery British way but I am deadly serious about wanting rid of the the House of Windsor. We in Wales had to sit through the Investiture of the 'Prince of Wales' in 1969 at Castell Caernarfon and like good little boys and girls we had to wave both flags and accept our subjugation as a Principality. This event, not 34 months after the Aberfan Disaster. 


Some did not acept the subjugation and some never will but while the House of Windsor still rules the waves the patronising man above is to be our future King, possibly any day now. He got rid of one wife or rather 'the Firm' did with the assistance of Parisien Paparazzi and now his new Consort, the soon to be Queen Camilla, once described by the Queen as that wicked woman is ready to rock and roll.

Then we have King William and Queen Catherine to look forward to and all their spring offs while Harry and Meghan try and behave like common people over in the States. I could go on and on. You get my drift?

For the disparate tribes of Wales to unify as one. For the Gogs and Hwntws to get together for something other than competing against eachother at the Eisteddfod and roaring on a Public School game of Rugby at the oh so aptly named 'Principality Stadium' wearing the Prince of Wales feathers over their hearts. The tribes of Wales must unify to rid themselves of the British Royal Family. To do this they/we must follow a step by step approach.

  • Don't vote Tory at any election ever! The Tories are the Hand Maidens of British Monarchy. They are in place to keep the antiquated and oppressive British Class System alive. By voting Conservative you are voting for the British Royal Family.
  • Don't vote Establishment Labour. Of course Welsh Labour is the option that most people go for as there is very little choice otherwise. They have now gone into a pact with Plaid Cymru who used to talk about Welsh Independence many years ago in smoky filled rooms above a pub in Merthyr Tydfil.  
  • Show unity with British Republican Movements across the Dis-United Kingdom. Just because you are Welsh doesn't mean that you can't talk and break bread with others who are not Welsh. 
How somebody can write about Abolishing the Monarchy without mentioning Prince Andrew I'll never know.
