Gan fod y disgwrs, mae’n debyg, wedi troi at hanfod cenedligrwydd Cymreig, addas iawn yw hi bod y llyfr yma nawr ar gael yn rhad ac am ddim.

Dyma amlygu’r hunaniaeth Gymreig hanesyddol fel un wedi’i gwreiddio yn yr iaith, yn amrywiol ei ethnigrwydd a gydag archif unigryw ei hun.

@SionJobbins @notjustbikes Resolutely monolingual signage on the mock-up pics, as well.

@ifanmj I always thought the background tradition when modern local govt was set up in 1880s. The Tories were the party of the landowners and established church, publicans and, with that branding in tge Wales of that time, no chance. @olearypaulb, is that right?

[Marc Phillips @bertwyn]

Very poor reporting on @BBCRadioWales this morning. Asking what do the opinion polls tell us about local elections, but framing the whole discussion around Westminster politics and the government the Labour /Tory fight. We deserve better than this Anglo centricity.

This really, really deserves your attention.

3 senior Gwent Police officers are due to face a misconduct hearing next month.

However no members of the public or media will be allowed to attend & only a notice of any outcome will be published.

Absolutely astonishing. During Russian Channel 1’s evening news broadcast, a woman ran onto the set with a sign: “No war…Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.”

In the one country after the other what was unthinkable yesterday becomes necessary today. 🇸🇪 now announces sending also 5.000 AT4 antitank weapons to 🇺🇦. That’s substantial. It’s an effective weapon highly regarded by also the US Army.

@WillHayCardiff As @DilwynRY says, Leopold Kohr’s work (Y Lolfa) gives a really useful alternative perspective.

Arrogance personified. “We are all one country.” Independence means Wales never being ruled by an Old Etonian Tory ever again. Now that’s a ban we can all get behind. https://t.co/oErrNut6e0

Hwn gan @CraigDrosPlaid ar Facebook, yn dangos beth mae'n cymunedau ni'n wynebu. Does nunlle gwell nag Aberdyfi neu'r Bermo, ond cymunedau byw ydy'r rhain, sydd â hawl i ddatblygu a bod fel cymunedau go iawn, nid fel pentrefi gwyliau Air B&B i ddiddanu pobl am 4 mis y flwyddyn.

Where do you begin with this? Homes actively pushed as potential holiday homes. Welsh language erased - Gwel yr Wyddfa renamed as Snowdonia View (incorrect translation, even). @WelshGovernment - we need legislation to protect our housing market & communities. Houses = homes.
