This is some Gestapo shit. Our very own new American SS. And of course their faces are covered because they know it’s wrong. I’m so enraged and heartbroken at the same time. People, we have got to stand up or we are next.

Sorry that this is a Wales Online article but please persevere in reading it. Diolch yn fawr.
A commentary on Cymru that is both heartwarming & heartbreaking at the same time. The clarity of this exposé is legend. A plank in the platform of independence! Stop Unionist politicians stirring the pot of division. It’s WoL sadly but please persevere.
