LEANNE WHAT ABOUT EL WELSH TV? CAMPAIGN FOR A NATIONAL WALES TELEVISION SERVICE - PRESENT PRIORITY BEING MORE E.L WELSH THEMED REGUALAR PROGRAMMING INC WELSH THEMED DRAMAS - See Example Of One Day In Welsh Television and You Should Undertand What I Am On About.


S4C Is well taking care of the 'Cymraeg' population, I am not complaining about that other than if EL speakers are now paying for it out of their TV licence money but not gettting themselves a comparable service. This in time will lead to discontent and not least if continued spending on S4C is combined with continued declining viewing figures. Note, re example below of one day in life of EL Television in Wales. Three other channels between them only deliver Welsh News on BBC and ITV Wales with on BBC 2 Wales the Ireland V Wales Under 20's Rugby International. This sort of policy of course excludes ES Wales from being part of and contributing to a inclusive Television Service for Wales, given ES Welsh are the majority population this can only be unfair and do nothing to sustain a National Identity. For Plaid Cymru it spells disaster and do I realy have to explain why? Leanne Wood is an 'Hwntw' whose first and better spoken language is 'English' but does she care, why not ask her?

      See Letter below, I am not the only one to see the problem. I am totally amazed that given fact that Rugby in main is an 'Hwntw' game watched by 1000's of EL Speakers, why do they not have an EL equivilent of 'Johnathan', why not?

GLYWYSING MEDIEVAL INITIATIVE: THE LORDS OF AFAN AND THE SOUTHERN WELSH REVOLT OF 1183 - 85.


  1. Why are 'Hwntw' Welsh Nationalists such victims of a Gwyneddcentric Welsh History of Resisting Conquest? Not to recognise, commemorate and memorialise our Southern History is to ignore the fact that the South did put up a fight against the 'conquistadores' and even after their defeat they often as not continued to support the Princes of Pura Wallia and not least in time Owain Glyndwr. See this post and also:

Good on Weatherspoon and their local history displays, always make a point of visiting the local Weatherspoons in towns I visit, have done about a dozen thus far. Advert over:

Noting that Castell Caradog was in area of St Mary's Church, I note that near by is a Castle Street. Was this street given this name because of Castell Caradog being in this area? Close by as well is a St Mary's Centre, an Hall possibly useful for an annual conference to consider all in this post in association with a ceremony at St Mary's Church in reognition of these Princes and Lords of Afan and their struggle against Anglo - Norman Conquest.
