The imperial British empire has spent centuries trying to stamp out the Welsh identity and is still trying to do so. We are seeing examples in the Scottish referendum debate of the bully British state doing what it has always done. It is sad to see DET drifting ever closer to the views of the British establishment no doubt if he lives to 100 he will end up advocating the policies of the BNP. <br /><br />I reject British identity because it stands for inequality, greed and self interest. That is not the kind of Wales I want and the only way we can reach a more egalitarian state is through Independence. I dont need a second identity my Welsh identity answers all my needs.
