It's the "Wars of the Roses", a series of civil wars. THE civil war was in 1642.
The Senedd has nothing at all to do with things that happened over 600 years back and everything to do with modern politics. The last rebellion was 1410-1415, over 700 years back.
Wales is today a member of the Union by the comsent of the people who give Westminster the mandate every time we have a general election, it's how democracy works.
The forum has people who are happy to be British, that is not an "anglo" thing because anglo refers to English.
Criticisng the Senedd does not mean people would rather be English, it's a stupid thing to say. Does criticising Westminster mean people want to be German?
Welsh laws have to make sense and be properly planned and implemented, the same rule applies to Westminster who are fairly useless too.
We don't know what is on any party's agenda for the next election because there are no manifestos out yet though Plaid have released their ambitions...

Our dogs aren't really suitable, the Spaniel is too hyper and takes ages to calm down in other properties. Our Pointer is a lovely dog, calm and affectionate BUT, she doesn't like women. She's a rescue and while she's Ok with my wife, when out on walks she avoids women, will always go to me and kids for a fuss but rarely women.
Our last dog, my best mate forever, lost him in 2022, he would have been a brilliant therapy dog, he definitely saved my life!
Dogs are brilliant, a lot of humans don't deserve them. |

Serious question, are you dyslexic? It would make so much sense.
Right, conquering Wales took so long because they had a lot on their plate amd yes, fierce resistance was part of it.
This ditch, I hope you don't mean Offa's Dyke because that was finished in the 700's, over 2000 years befoe the Normans came.
Next up, Edward Longshanks subdued Wales before 1300, that it was only legally merged by the acts of Union on 1536 is totally irrelevant, you never mentioned the merger, you said and I quote "They could not take Wales with the Anglo Saxons until 1500s" which is factually incorrect.
The English civil war started in 1642 and not in the 1400's
The Senedd doesn't exit because of what people did over 800 years ago and Welsh people today who criticise the Senedd are not attacking Wales and that has always been a straw man argument. We citicise the politicians for running Wales badly because we deserve better. and who criticises us when we attack Westminster?
You say you are proud to be Welsh AND British yet you do not understand why people raise the Union flag...really, how many times are you going to contradict yourself?
You tried an edit, should really have changed the things you got so wrong.
PS, as I have told Kilkenny so many times, us Celts are the original British, we were here first so we should be proud to be British and the word Welsh comes from olde English and it means (roughly) foreigner, we call ourselves "foreigners" in our own lands. |

I found it ironic that they raised Palestinian/Hamas flags at Glastonbury music festival when it was at a music festival that Hamas attacked and killed thousands and took hundreds prisoner.
Both sides need to stop, if Hamas won't stop then neither will Israel. Maybe nobody will stop until one of them is destroyed. |

Oh it's not anti Welsh, that's just more nonsense.
Tell me, are you proud that thousands of tonnes of Welsh recycling has been sent to third world countries and some of it just dumped? Is that why we recycle? What about all the petrol/diesel emissions we emit sending the waste all those thousands of miles, is that good for the planet?

If you're going to resort to history lessons do try to get them right, to avoid looking silly.
The Anglo-Saxin period starteed around 410AD and ended with the 1066 invasion. The Normans weren't so interested in aquick conquest of Wales and established the Marcher lordships as a biffer zone and launchpad for a gradual takeover.
Wales was finally subdued in the late 13th century by Edward Longshanks. A fair bit before the 1500's.
The internet is your friend, try finding the correct information.

If they want to raise the recycling rates they need to get inot the businesses and make them change the packaging so it's more eco friendly.
paper bags instead of plastics to start with. Then how about w return to glass bottles? The way forward is actually to go backwards a bit and do like we did in the 60's, 70's and 80's.
Just reducing rubbish collection isn't likely to work and then they'll complain about the fly tipping.
You need to change peoples (including business) attitudes before you change the system. |

I tend to agree BUT I'll give him a chance this season because his settling in time was under a poor manager. Hopefully under Sheehan he'll kick on.
You are both 100% right though, even if he scores more goals its not enough, he needs to contribute in other areas too.
I remember Bony, good in attack but also one of our best defenders at set pieces. Lets hope Vip proves his worth next season. |

The Overton window has definitely contracted.
The left has been around a while mind although it may not have been generally recognised as such until 1789 (well during the period of the French revolution) when the national assembly was meeting and supporters of the Monarchy entered and went straight to the right hand side, revolutionary supporters taking the left.
I'd thought that Trump had basically kicked out any press who didn't agree with him and/or asked too many awkward questions?
If being a revolutionary is left wing then the USA's founding fathers, were they left wing? Was Lafayette? |

Or maybe it was because the Bishop was hoping to be made Archbishop? Clearly he would be a bad choice. |
