Only in respect of all the corruption, decimation of the jobs market etc etc etc :)
Lol, Oh, is that all?

If you really want to know why i'm sure I could write up a little essay why. The list is endless.
Some people don't even know what this is
also, If your from outside the UK, just say you support these in football (soccer).
Spreading the word :-)
I'm a history nut, so if you ever feel like writing an essay, make sure to direct it my way.. And any good documentaries, too.
I'm still trying to design a good graphic of that to put on my new car(if I ever get it), that's The Red Dragon of Wales! (Y Ddraig Goch just sounds awesome, too)
Wales is a strange one. We're not a actual country, although a lot of people are calling for independance. We are a Principality, and so, always get the worse of everything. But it all started centuries ago.. and a huge build up of oppression since then.
Anything that has to be done, first has to be done to benifit London, and the elite there, the rest of the population are usually just a after-thought.
I've started a little thread on my teams (Cardiff City FC) messageboard regarding this.

Didn't the Australians vote not to become a republic? And possibly America was discovered and named after a Welshman, whether that's true or not is another matter.
