They deserve nothing less than contempt. These Patagonian visitors who wish to visit Wales, their Fatherland, for cultural purposes have once again been denied entry into Britain. The people of Wales should make their voice heard in the corridors of Westminster and at the gates of Whitehall. Those who wish to enter for legitimate reasons are spurned and turned away by this government, and those who enter for nefarious purposes are allowed freedom of entry and the so-called Border Agency is a pathetic farce.POSTED BY ALANINDYFED AT 03:56 0 COMMENTS LINKS TO THIS POSTMONDAY, 3 AUGUST 2009Charles, Duke of Cornwall, his InvestiturePrince Charles may be said to have had a lucky escape. There was a state of high security in Caernarfon on the day of his investiture as Prince of Wales. After all, Wales had had its own prince, native-born, named Owain Glyndwr, who had established a Welsh Parliament in Machynlleth, centuries before the Assembly was set up in Cardiff and the wheels of devolution were set in motion. Caernarfon was indeed tense and everyone was on high alert at the castle which had been built as a stronghold by King Edward I as he set out to subjugate the Welsh and ring Gwynedd with bastions of stone. There was indeed a bomb plot which was uncovered in the nick of time and the prince was able to complete his investiture as Prince of Wales and return to the palace in London unscathed.Wales has now matured as a nation and has gained in stature and confidence, retaining its own true culture and language in the face of great odds. It is a kind of miracle. It is unlikely that an investiture will ever be held again, at least in Wales, and the government must be well aware of the sensitivity of such an occasion, insulting to some, among a people who have suffered past indignities and have been cowed by feelings of inferiority and despair, even desperation. Wales is a nation reborn from the ashes of the British Empire and it is quite likely that the investiture of Charles, Duke of Cornwall will be the last.POSTED BY ALANINDYFED AT 09:06 3 COMMENTS LINKS TO THIS POST
