We at Plaid Cymru reach out and welcome all English immigrants and immigrants from overseas who have made their home in Wales, as well as friends and absent relatives from other lands across the world, to join with us and support us in our endeavours to promote Wales and the culture, language and community of Wales, as we pursue our constant and relentless struggle for justice and dignity, and advance towards our goal of independence and freedom for the country which is our ancestral home. We trust that each and everyone will come to regard
"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
Alan,
ReplyDeleteI've lived in Wales for 50 years, but was born in England to English parents. As you lived outside of Wales for 20 years, does that make me more Welsh than yourself or am I still an immigrant?
In my opinion your country is where your heart is. I was also born in
ReplyDeleteEngland but Wales is the Land of my Fathers. That makes me Welsh - and neither you nor I are immigrants.
There is no more or less, only allegiance.
Well said!
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Wales most of my life but I have never felt at home in North Wales and jury is still out on South Wales. Cardiff feels comfortable because I can be anonymous amongst all the others. Allegiance? A difficult one, Wales is part of me but my home is at home but it is not as clear cut as that... Divided, I suppose... I vote for Wales. What does it make me? A square peg in a round hole! Perhaps, I am a rolling stone?
ReplyDeleteYou say one crucial thing - you vote for Wales.
ReplyDeleteIf you can say that you are already in accord with our philosophy.
Therefore you can claim this as your home. Plaid needs your vote and thousands like it to make the great leap forward (in the words of Chairman Mao!).
