Semi-detached?

The state of Wales today!

Can you imagine the following? You own your own house – a semi-detached, nice it is too. A large green garden and you’re set for the rest of your life – ideal, isn’t it?

But in this scenario your neighbour in the house attached to yours starts to boss you about a bit, well a lot – a hell of a lot!

They tell you how much money you’ll get each year.

They represent you at neighbour watch meetings, acting as your voice to others, claiming to act in your best interest.

They control your TV set too, not to mention your radio – dictating what you can and can’t listen to!

They control your security arrangements and convey your views on foreign affairs to others.

They also control your energy too!

The list goes on. 

Would you be happy with that situation?

It’s time for the people of Wales to wake up! It’s time for us to have some self-respect on the global stage – it’s time to step out of the shadows and stand tall with other self-respecting nations of the world!

I demand to live in a nation which lives on it's feet and doesn't die on it's knees.
