During my 2008 festival and gig tour....so far!!
I have met many WELSH men and women that are PROUD to be Welsh. Proud to be a Celt in a world of Saes! and many that are passionate about it.
But it makes me think, what does it achieve?
Welsh Nationalism?
Solidarity? Community?
Having recently spoken to a lot of Welsh farmers and landowners, I get the impression that Cymru Am Byth is a myth.
As much as I hate to say it, Cymru has lost its way, its yearning and even its meaning.
The Maibion Glyndwr, (in my humble opinion) needs to be revisited. But in a different way.
The mines are gone. The coal is obsolete. The future is what we make it.
No more industry based communities, no more local employment?
WHY?
Because we as the 'United Kingdom', no longer see ourselves as a production industry, but as a service industry.
This is fundamentally the wrong mindset.
Wales (CYMRU) has a heritage. A heritage based in this country, devolved from this country and subjugated from this country.
A long held belief that Wales will be Great Again! Only exists in Rugby,
and of course the Welsh Nationalists. AKA: Europeans.
Again, (in my humble opinion), many towns and villages in Wales, need support. Assisting in the local recycling, reclamation and re-use of mainstream waste.
Landfill Tax Credit in 2008 costs £84.50 per tonne of waste to landfill. On average each individual produces enough wasted energy to justify the Council Tax subsidy!
But we need to think 'outside of the box'. This ideology will not 'float its own boat'. The only way to achieve Sustainable Development locally, is through direct involvement.
I am therefore writing a new blog and website called:
thearcproject
ARC stands for Assisted Recycling Communities.
The domain name is listed across: Google, Yahoo, Facebook and others.
Feel free to view, comment and digest!!!
