Excellent talk with plain talking and very pertinent points. Independent Wales - Yes!
Every identifiable nation should not only have the right to rule themselves but the responsibility to do so.
One question if I may - Why do the Welsh need to seek a legal means to leave a union they never legally joined?! Wales was illegally annexed, unlike Scotland who willingly joined With England. Surely the assembly can just withdrew consent for the queen as head of state!
Oh another thing, The unionists also like to claim Wales couldn't leave thanks to debt it owes, however, Wales doesn't have the power to borrow. All of Wales' debt is thanks to the UK government, which let's be honest is English in all but name. So they basically can borrow from a UK level, fund projects in England, and then get Welsh tax payers to fund it all. Meanwhile, Welsh projects get delayed or canceled on a regular basis.
And on the MPs present in Westminster, I agree 100%. I just don't understand how Welsh people are so blind to it all!
Edit - on the culture question, the elite in England don't want it to exist, full stop!!! As the modern Welsh are a link and a reminder to those centuries back who fought so hard for their culture to survive.
Fantastic comment, huge thumbs up from me
@@jasonevans001 and from me sir - keep on fighting. The best victories are those ofwhich were the hardest to fight.
its not that the welsh are blind to it all, its that * there is no welsh social media or even devolved or* independent*, national brodcasting, produced in wales, its all london based....
the sun, has scottish and irish edition, but yet no welsh one....
either the majority dont care or are happy for *welsh language and culture to die*...
welsh coal,cyfathar castle, miners strikes, aberfan are historic testament, that wales does not really exist, its just a *backyard or colony*...
@@jardon8636 Well, it does exist. It's not that Welsh people don't care, it is the fact they have forgotten the differences between the English and Welsh and what it actually means. The Welsh are descended from a great and noble people who have suffered for centuries for their right to exist....you are right about the media and social media aspect. And Wales will never be on its way to independence until it gets control over its own broadcasting.
As for a colony!....not really, The English influx of Wales occured in the industrial revolution. Before that it was a military occupation in reality. Every country on earth has had immigration so the fact English settled in Wales cant really be seen as a colony in a modern context.
It will exist as long as the Dragon flies high and Welsh is still being used. And as long as Welsh cultural festivals like the Eisteddfod is still being held.
A well reasoned argument. The people of Wales know what Wales wants. If we were independent we'd get what we want. As it is we get what England wants us to have. Even the Government in the Senedd is by an English based political party. What other country in the world wants to be governed by a Government based in the country next door?
An incredible talk 🙂
Wales gives England 133 billion litres a water a year 100 billion pounds a year
😂😂😂😂😂😂f'kin numbskull!!
Just came across this and am very impressed by the talk. However I was really worried by the suggestion that we should invite Google and Amazon to Wales. These companies provide terrible employment and, in the case of Amazon at least, dodge taxes. New York refused to let them come when that was suggested recently. I think we need to be building our own economy, not encouraging LG - style tax incentives to encourage these footloose easy come easy go companies. Thoughts?
I think it's more about attracting companies all over the world to our country. At the moment there isn't any way of doing that
As a Welsh speaking Welshman could you explain to me what we would do if England wanted independence? Poor Cardiff, blame Labour.
We'd let them, obviously, not that it'd be our choice. They are their own nation
Big up Cwmbrân! 😂
So every tax payer in Wales would have to produce c £13,363 to cover the Welsh Budget deficit- that's c £5,800 per person. Nice talk- successful chap but where's to figures and plan?
If wales was independent would it have an military im not talking a huge one but would they have a small defence force to give jobs to people and allow people to serve their nation
Hi. There is a short section on Defence in our booklet available to download for free here - www.yes.cymru/independence (click on - Download a free copy of 'Independence in your Pocket' PDF - and then pages 47 - 50.)
Yes Cymru tank you for the reply and thank you for clearing that up for me 👍🏴🏴🏴
Name , don’t even ask. Wales will never be independent. Look at this page, it’s a dead zone with nary a subscriber. People of Wales don’t want to be left to rank among the likes of Moldova as opposed to the first world country we enjoy now.
@@MarcusT86 Wales will be independent, and the only reason you unionist think that we can't, is because ur all blinded by the English media.
The people of Wales will learn one day that Westminster are irrelevant to us and that we can grow, just like Ireland
Zumeius you mean Ireland which is funded by a collapsing EU?
But that’s simply not a business case... it’s a criticism of what’s currently in place... granted it’s a good critique but it’s not a business case at all!
He lost me when he lied about the history of just eat. It was a Danish company and was bought from 2 of the 3 original founders, moved to the UK and they hired a Welsh CEO. That doesn't make it a Welsh company. He's lost credibility with me sorry.
So before he said that you were indy convicted?
So Wales can't make it on it's own because somebody said something about Just Eat you didn't like?
Also I think he knows maybe slightly more about the company than you do with all due respect
Red Hot Flames-182 I wasn’t even close to convinced, I stop giving him my time when he started lying.
@@swiftdamian1524 so this video isn't aimed at you as you're clearly happy with going along with the status quo and not wanting better for your country
Red Hot Flames-182 you mean I’m not wanting my country to be mislead and manipulated by false information and lies that take it down the wrong path yeah?
@@swiftdamian1524 no you're wanting your country to be continously ruled by another with no ambition for a better future 👍
Wales will always be part of the U.K. however hard you try
Right
Keep dreaming little buddy, the wheels are firmly in Motion. You can not stop it. We are Inevitable!
@@taffyducks544 you’re cause is just going to go the same path as Scottish independence did, it rose and then failed.
