Yes! Ineed that's the big question? Welsh Republicanism is a modern invention of Cliff Bere & Co who established WRM I that was an excellent start and at least these patriots were not afraid of getting their 'hands dirty' with some protest action, not least against visit of representatives of English Royal Family to Wales. Including a bomb attack by dissedent Welsh Republicans in location of the Fron Acqueduct in 1953 associated with visit of the newly crowned Elizabeth II to the Elan Valley to open the Claerwen Dam reservoir often mistakenly dated as 1952 but no it was 1953 .

While on subject of Coronation Chairs, I remind of Carlo's 1969 Investiture Coronation chair, housed in Caernarfon Castle since that infamous year housed in the 'Black Museum', devoted to the story of the English Princes of Wales. Amazing no patriotic protest about this out of mouths of the 'Cultural Nationalists' nor any 'Gwladgarol Gwynedd, so much for Wylit! Wylit! and all that 'Bardic Stuff' as a Call to Action?

Whilst on Investiture, I bet the very Royal Town of Caernarfon is eagerly looking forward to commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the 1911 Investiture next year, just keep an eye on their website below for an announcement on this.

Of course it being then pertinent to ask if Gwladgarol Gwynedd will do anything about that, I very much doubt it after their failiure to show on Cofiwch Caernarfon 27 April 2010 (note Edward and Eleanor presented the first English Prince of Wales on the 25th April 1284, get it you dim wits!).

So! if they don't show, will any so called ''Welsh Republicans'' show up? doubt it because there are no real 'Welsh Republican' out there, apart from the tired old 'Garibaldi Style' Retro Welsh Royalist Retro Romantic Republican 'Gobs' of Rali Cilmeri. What? did I hear you say Adam's ''Republicans'', no, I don't think so? they will be too busy again diverting patriotic attention and distracting from patriotic action, just as they did these weeks past. I mean so much energy spent on the vainglory of 'Adams Abergele' whilst 'Carlo' the present English Prince of Wales was crawling all over Cymru, from West to South, to North and Central Cymru (Why? He's never done that before!) fast becoming a 'Welsh Kossovo' with 'White Flight Settlers' aka English Colonists. Why am I bringing this up and not Cymuned or even Llais Gwynedd, forget CyIG they only want Pontanna, Bae Caerdydd and suburbs of Bontfaen and Penarth.

..

Today the choice at present is Adam's 'Retro Republicanism' or the'Internationalist Republicanism' now being developed by David Lawrence and others in the South, thinks! I myself favour the latter which is progressive and not reactionary a 'Republican Road' as Adam and Co treading to the tune of, Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The Boys Are Marching! but of couse the question begs to be asked where to if Adam is followed? The Answer is simple no where unless Adam has his eyes on the 100th Anniversary of the Easter Rising in 2016, his dream of dreams being to repeat the march of Cayo's FWA in 1966. That is ok! by me as long as Adam and Paul our new 'Welsh Republicans' quit useing the Abergele Martyrs for their own unstated aims and objectives. Stop standing on the 'Shoulders' of Giants' and by virtue of carrying out campaigns and engaging in real struggle for Welsh Freedom and Independance as follows:

.

2011 Anniversary of 1911 Caernarfon Investiture Take on the English Crown through out Wales? At very least a flag and poster Agit - Prop Campaigns.

.

2012, why not lead and carry out Anti - Diamond Jubillee Celebrations Campaign on scale of such in 1977 but not so much in 2002?

.

2013 the 60th Anniversary of the 1953 Coronation commemoration and visit to Wales of Liz II to open the Claerwen Dam in the Elan Valley.
.
2014 the 100th Anniversary of WW I a European Imperialist Capitalist War.
.
2015 the 600th Anniversary of Azincourt - the 'Brit Taffs' will go big and wild on Henry V.
.
2016 the 100th Anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland also note the1966 Welsh connection regards our 'sixties' Adfywaiad Gwladgarol 1962 - 1969.
.
Excellent Six Year platform for stage by stage advance of Welsh RepublicanStruggle, I wonder if Adam, Paul and the 'Balchder Boyos' will last the course and make it to Ireland with credit and some thing to really 'crow' about? We shall see and I will be on watch!!!
.
However, somehow, I do not think we shall see A&P so keen to rise to occaision of motivating patriots, promoting and prompting such a real radical Plan of Action - Anti - English Monarchy Campaining programme of six years of Welsh Republican Struggle for our National and popular Soveriengty. No! not they, of course they might suprise me? However, lets not hold our breath and thus, look out for the Radical RAM = R.A.M. = REPUBLICANS AGAINST MONARCHY. My second option, appealing to serious former 'Welsh Republicans', forget the 'Gobs' more likly to be counted on are the 'Socialist Republicans' to rise to the occaision and 'Seize the Time' and over the coming six years begin to build a new Radical Welsh Socialist Republicanism, a Movement and Struggle!

      Well any one up for it, keeping in mind you initially only have, at last to organise Black Flag
      and Poster Campaigns in and around areas the English Royals are visiting. That will do for starters,
      plus whatever else you can think of but non - violent ok! Building up to other foms of protest,
      campaining and struggle to wards Freedom and Independence.
