WHY ARE CERTAIN ELEMENTS SO AFRAID OF THE GLYNDŴR CYMRIC INDEPENDENCE FLAG?
WELL,WELL,WELL! It seems that Karl Davie's 'No nonsense' picture statement (above) has stepped on a few 'sensitive nerves' and forced all the 'trolls' who claim to be in favour of Independence for Cymru (but, who are really 'not' for total 'real' sovereign Independence) to crawl out from under their stones and expose themselves.
For the last 22 years, we have tried to educate in regards to the Owain Glyndŵr Great War of Independence, his achievement in regaining Independence for Cymru for a number of years against all odds, and his achievment in establishing the first Senedd Cymru in Machynlleth. His Standard, The Four Lions Rampant was at the fore during the long Great War Of Independence then, and we have long argued the case that if the struggle he started and fought for is in continuance today, then, its logical that the Glyndŵr flag of Independence is the 'only' flag that can be at the fore of an Independence campaign, it is the 'only' Cymric flag that can poise a 'real' challenge to English rule and occupation of Cymru. But, there are those that wish to continue to embrace and fly the 'Tudor rag' , the flag of the English Tudor kings, regurgitated and given to us by the English Queen in 1959 around the same time that they announced that Charles Windsor would be invested as the next English Prince of Wales in 1969. Do we really need to, again, point out the insidious reason behind the 'giving' of this flag to Cymru then, think of the term... 'beware of Greeks bearing gifts'
Now, why would anybody claiming to be part of our Cymric cause for Independence still be in favour of embracing and flying the 'Tudor rag' and why, like the WRU it appears, deem the Owain Glyndŵr flag to be "offensive"?
There are a number of reasons why:
In regards to the current Independence movement in Cymru, it is made up of an assortment of all types, many who are not Cymric nationalists and, in regards to some, their loyalties are 'really' to other parties but they have affiliated to the Independence movement for their own vested interest - whatever that may be, and they certainly would not man any barricades for Cymric Independence, if it came to that, and will certainly not embrace or fly the Indpendence flag of a Cymric warrior Prince.
Then, there are the 'pacifist element' who believe that Independence will be 'given' to us by the British State just by merely parading along the streets of our nation and they will not embrace or fly the Glyndŵr Independence flag as they also consider Owain Glyndŵr to have led a violent struggle under that flag. Well, I have news for this element, you can fly and parade under the Tudor rag or the St David's church of England flag until doom's day but, the British State will 'not' just hand Cymry back because we are 'pacifist and polite in our request, they will do what they have done for the last 700 yrs, tramp all over your parades. The only way to get our Independence re-enstated is to poise a challenge to English rule in Cymru and refuse to 'meekly' abide with their rule and occupation wherever possible and poise a challenge with the constant display of the Owain Glyndŵr flag of Independence.
And as for the WRU, one of their past star players, the unforgettable Ray Gravell, was amongst the biggest admirers of Owain Glyndŵr and was more than proud to wear his emblem and fly his flag of Independence whenevr any opportunity arose. He would proudly shout out at the top of his gruff voice "JURATUS OWEYN" latin for "FAITHFUL TO OWAIN! so, for the WRU to state that rugby followers are 'banned' from flying the flag at the Stadium because they deem it " offensive" is in itself "offensive" to the memory of Grav and especially so since Rupert Moon some yrs ago had rang us up to confirm that the WRU would be flying the Glyndŵr flag at the Stadium during rugby tournaments. So why the change in heart? would it be because Willy Windsor is now they're Patron and they deem that the Owain Glyndwr Independence flag would be "offensive" to him?
We call on all rygby supporters attending rugby tournaments to take your Glyndŵr flags with you and wave them high whenever the Cymric team scores, do it in your thousands and let's see the WRU try and stop you. DO IT FOR GLYNDWR, GRAV AND CYMRU!
So, all 'true' Cymric patriots out there who are 'for real' in continuance of our struggle for 'real' sovereign Independence, do not let the 'trolls' and other enemies of a 'real' Cymru Rydd deter you from embracing and waving your Glyndŵr Independence flag high all over our land as a challenge to English rule. Fly it from your homes, offices, pubs, council and other civic buildings, schools, open fields and wherever you see an open space as a challenge against this Platinum Jubilee this year.
It's also worth reminding ourselves that Owain Glyndŵr was voted as the top person of the millennium by a BBC conducted poll as well as the 7th top stateman in history in a millenium poll conducted by The Times at the dawning of this millennium. It is also widely reported that his military strategies was admired by many a revolutinary leader including Fidel Castro and Che Guavara, so, who's flag should we proudly embrace and fly as our Cymric Independence flag? Its a no brainer isn't it.
CYMRU RYDD!
