Not my words, those are the words of Top Gear Magazine.

On this day in 1831 the workers of Merthyr rebelled against the British State!

A song for this #mayday - inspired by going to the @merthyrrising festival and seeing people from different walks of life come together for the common good of fighting inequality and injustice. Thanks @markheybo for videoing it. https://t.co/JdNBlqQmB7

Hey @KateRaworth, would be interested in speaking at Merthyr Rising Festival this year?

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

I try my best to report objectively, I really do, but when the country is governed by grubby, lying, self serving law breakers with no respect for the truth, no obvious comprehension of right & wrong & not a shred of decency or integrity amongst them it’s practically impossible

@Gethin76 @MintysGigGuide Until somebody wants to have a reasonable discussion in person, we won't make any more comments.

Festival Statement

https://t.co/MOlCPa2zRE

[Merthyr Rising 🚩 @merthyrrising]

@Gethin76 @MintysGigGuide We have run for years and worked hard to be diverse. We would have no issue with discussing this if somebody had any suggestions about our lineup. Instead people on here have resorted to irrational behaviour and unfounded name calling instead of professional dialogue.

[Merthyr Rising 🚩 @merthyrrising]

@Gethin76 @MintysGigGuide 100% come to us. I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, I invest my own money in this and I don't do it for financial gain. The judgemental approach to this is disgusting. We need support not abuse and online bullying by an anonymous lunch mob trying to cause damage.

[Merthyr Rising 🚩 @merthyrrising]

@MintysGigGuide @Gethin76 @HorizonsCymru @huwstephens @BethanElfyn Yes, @MintysGigGuide you got mixed up there, no rudeness here, just stating facts. We've made a statement and we don't have much more to say other than we are available to talk face to face and our office door is open. Be nice to see you attend to support the Valleys.

[Merthyr Rising 🚩 @merthyrrising]

@Gethin76 @HorizonsCymru @huwstephens @BethanElfyn @MintysGigGuide Another middle aged bloke? Well our planning team is made up of 3 women and 2 men. Everybody assumes that it's all white middle men planning this. They're wrong.

[Merthyr Rising 🚩 @merthyrrising]

@Gethin76 @HorizonsCymru @huwstephens @BethanElfyn @MintysGigGuide You have no idea of the amount of work we do. If you want to give up your time to volunteer you're more than welcome.
