Welsh independence march in caerdydd 17:43 - May 11 with 13514 viewsCwmafanJack

Upwards of 2,000 turned up for the first march in support of independence. Not a bad start. Was great to see so many welsh and owain glyndwr flags in our capital.

Or understand that we’re not ruled by the EU. It’s only ironic if you’ve no clue about the EU and our role in it.


You could equally argue that Wales has a role in the U.K. by the same measures.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

From a purely selfish football point of view, the Welsh teams would no doubt have to leave the English system. That would be the end of our team.

From an EU point of view, separating from the Union would not mean an immediate admission to the EU. It could take 20-30 years to be admitted, that's 20-30 years going it alone with no guarantee that Wales would be admitted.


That’s to complicated for many on here to understand

Within a year your old company will be leaving Bridgend

In fact. I can see them pulling out of Europe completely, especially with the losses they are making

You won’t see a hi-tech international company setting up in Wales again. Purely because education standards are so low

Companies are already struggling to get well educated youngsters to join them for apprenticeships. For them to go on and get something like HNC and to even go further and get degrees

Kids coming out of school don’t even know their tables these day

It just shows how bad the standard of education in Wales is

I agree on the general level of education but hi tech companies are setting up in Cardiff. Right now, Wales is competing with Bristol in that regard.

Maybe I should rephrase the question.

Would an independent Wales be able to financially sustain itself?
If yes, why and how?
If no , why?


We can be self sufficient in Water, Food and Energy.

So who are these high-tech international companies, setting up in Cardiff then

What I’m seeing generally across South Wales. Is companies struggling to get the right type of people working for them

If you are a well qualified engineer these days. You will never be out of a job. Not only that, but a decent salary and perks to go with it

Some have in the last 12 months in the IT sector. Had calls from recruitment agents seeing if my company could work with some, they tended to want pemies.

And self deprecation too. I’ve never lived somewhere where prople put themselves and their country down so much. ‘We couldn’t possibly manage without England, our language is a waste of money, our schools useless, our government worse, weather sh*t, rugby team great leading up to a match, crap afterwards.....etc., etc.’

Of course any sane woman/man would want the best for Wales

That’s why an independent Wales would be a disaster

Just look at education as just one simple example

The worst performing country in the whole of the U.K.

If you haven’t a good educated working population

You don’t attract the industries that’s needed to make a successful country


Thats why we need to change things see ...

According to the Police. The crowd was estimated between 1000 and 1500

What a surprise that you say it was between 2500 and 3500

Perhaps you need to learn how to count like so many of the people living in Wales


wales online :

Estimates suggest that far more than 1,000 people, and possibly as many as 3,000, have attended and organisers hope the march will get more people talking about Welsh independence in what they described as a "resurgence of interest".

More like a couple of centuries away. I would say

If you can only get 1000-2000 on a March for independence

Where do you think the other 99.94% were

Laughing their socks off at you lot


It was the first march Valleygay, Scotland's first march had 300 people. Wales' first had between 1-2000 people. Once, awareness is raised - should prove interesting. It's normal to want independence. I was there, I support it.

We’d have to have a hard border with England. The economy would crash and you wouldn’t be able to put your bins out or go to the doctors. All the shelves on the supermarket would be empty and we’d be starving and freezing to death. It would be a disastrous cliff edge or something and an act of national self harm apparently.

I went along with a load of us from Blaenau Gwent, met up with loads from South East Wales, Caerphilly, Islwyn,Newport. Great to see a few Monmouthshire flags there from our near neighbours. Great atmosphere down there, reminded me of Wales in the euro,s. I would guess that about 3000 or so turned out, absolutely blown away by how many turned up, and as it,s been said on here only 300 or so attended the first Scottish march. WE ARE ON OUR WAY.

I also attended.

Wonderful speech by Adam Price ..

‘When the great story of our nation’s independence is written, in the very near future, it is this generation that will be able to say ‘we got there because we marched.’

“United in our goal. Ignited in our passion. All under one banner. In our hearts. In our minds. Already free.”

But, but, but what about the NHS?

It's hilarious that remainers would rather break up the UK than accept a democratic referendum, even though it completely defies their rhetoric on why they wanted to remain in the first place.

.. or are you telling us that the 3 points I listed, which remainers constantly use.. are actually just desperate attempts to justify your petulant calls for a second referendum?

Your argument for an independent wales is exactly the same as a brexiteers argument for a U.K. outside the EU. Self determination.

If the time comes in the future for a welsh independence referendum you can guarantee they’ll be chucking the same old economy will crash it’s a vote to make yourself poorer bullshyt at you.
