WE all saw how everyone in Wales came over all nationalistic during the Rugby World Cup.

Well now that's over ,how many of the 80-minute Nats will come and honour our boys slaughtered at Irfon bridge. Let's have a massive turn-out at Cilmeri.

Members of Plaid, Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg and Celtic League are all spreading the word Assemble at the Prince Llewelyn Inn, Cilmeri, Builth Wells at 10am for a parade to the stone and a torch-lit procession later.

    “hello MarianneH

    I was at Cilmeri i was one of the 18 bodyguards, the singing i heard was things like sospan fach , yma o hyd , but i was up an down all over the pub mingling with lots of great characters and patriots. Its a shame you came across an undesirable as i found the day a fantastic event . IF ANYONE SINGS RACIAL SONGS THEY NEED TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THEMSELVES Maybe some folk need to add bit more water to their beer .
    Thing is we in Balchder Cymru have some English people in our group and I would rather stand in a battlefield with say 100 Englishmen wanting Welsh Independence than 100000 Union loving Welshmen .
    I hope you will be back next year , if you are try find myself (Russell Morris) or Adam Phillips.

    see you soon ;-)”

    “I was at the commemoration of Llewellyn at Cilmeri in 2011 and also the previous year. in 2010, it was spoilt for me by young idiots in the 'Prince Llewellyn' inn singing 'How many Blacks can you kill with an axe in an English country garden?', followed by 'We are white; we are white ; wea are ******* dynamite.'As I made a sharp exit, one of them said sarcastically,''Oh, have we driven you away?'' I thought they might be locals who had no conection with the event.

    This year in the same inn, a man who had been on the march and had a 'bog brush' hairstyle sang a happy song about Jews and Auschwitz in a triumphalist manner. I said to my friend Dafydd ''Oh, if they're going to sing this racist **** we'll hav to go. Oh come on, let's go.'' we did. Another friend talked to a marcher who said he was a Nazi but not a fascist.

    I have heard a lot of moronic antiWlsh racism which has drawn me towards these events. People think we're racist if we just speak our own language in a pub which anyone else would be permitted to do. One idiot said to me, ''Don't you think that if Welsh was a proper language it would have a word for orgasm?'' I said, ''Don't you think that if English was a proper language it would have a word for orgasm? Orgasm is Greek. If English was a proper language, wouldn't it have words for table, kindergarten, schadenfreude and labia minora?'' He didn't hear what I said and just repeated the same thing again.

    I was at the commemoaration of the Llanelli railway strike in August. From the video it looks as if the two Nazis from Cilmeri were there as well. Why did they turn out to protest at a human rights abuse ie the shooting of innocent men by the military in 1911? I would have thoght they would have agreed with John Lowles MBE who on the day of the march announced that the soldiers were right to shoot because they were only obeying orders.

    Why are these Nazis turning up to events at least partially organised by left wing and civilised people? It's depressing and it tars us all with the same brush.They are the very last people we need. Can't something be done about them?”
