And Here it is.

The english are coming for us and our language AGAIN.

We CANNOT let history repeat itself.

The expectation for people to learn the english language when they move there,

But somehow the same doesn't apply to Welsh, and is discarded as optional.

Owen John Thomas., former Assembly Member and founder of Clwb Ifor Bach passed away peacefully this morning after a long illness.

The following statement has been issued on behalf of the family by his son Hywel Thomas:

My father, Owen John Thomas, passed away peacefully this morning after a long illness.

He loved Wales, its people, language, and culture with a passion. He was driven by a desire to see Wales freed from the constraints of Westminster to determine its own affairs. Those holding onto centuries of power would dismiss people like my father as troublesome agitators. But when all said and done, all he ever wanted for his country was fairness and the powers to lift the people of Wales out of poverty and give them a fighting chance of a better future. Progress was slow, letter after letter, inch by inch but he kept going and never gave up.

He knew the streets of his beloved Cardiff like the back of his hand and always had a story for every building - the hidden passages and alleyways connecting the Royal Arcade to the Tabernacle Chapel and the facades of the old houses of Kingston Court.

My father never tired of walking through the streets and arcades of Cardiff city centre, stopping and chatting to people along the way – sometimes frustratingly so for me and my siblings. But the reward for our patience, was a visit to the Sarsaparilla Bar in Morgan’s Arcade. There, we would sit on the high barstools at the counter sipping our Sarsaparilla and Burdock feeling like grownups.

In his early thirties my father decided to learn Welsh. Once proficient in the language, he became famous for his ‘shwmae brawd’ greeting – meaning, hello brother/comrade – a nod to the common cause of a free Wales. He dedicated much of his life campaigning for the provision of Welsh medium education in Cardiff which is now thriving in the city. He also realised that if the language was going to flourish, people needed a place where they could use it socially. Bringing together a group of likeminded friends and people, he set about raising the necessary funds to buy the Leasehold from the British Legion on a suitable building in Womamby Street. That was 1983, and that building is now Clwb Ifor Bach.

It was inevitable perhaps that my father’s passions and convictions would lead him to politics. In the Welsh devolution referendum of 1997, he saw his dream realised with the establishment of a National Assembly for Wales. He served two terms as one of its elected members between 1999 and 2007.

The cruel Alzheimer’s disease would eventually take his voice, but he has left an indelible mark on his country, its capital city and the Welsh language.

My father was a warrior. His spirit will live on in the streets and buildings of the city he knew so well and loved so much.

He leaves behind his wife Sian, six children, John, Hywel, Eurwen Iestyn, Rhodri and Rhys and eleven grandchildren. We will all miss him dearly. Nos da dad.

Soooo Wales is not able to get a penny of consequential cash from HS2 but the UK Government will underwrite a £680m high-speed railway in Turkey...

There is so much to be annoyed about here.

Name me a more clueless Fury meat rider in the MSM than this prick 🤞

[Dev Sahni @devsahni]

If that is correct regarding Usyk deserving a larger share in the rematch (and I completely disagree)… then why not win the fight and come back to the negotiation table with all the belts and increased stock? At that point, if his stock has increased to the level you are suggesting, he can dictate to Tyson Fury.

What shouldn’t be happening is that the rematch negotiation prohibits the first fight from even taking place 🤦‍♂️
