I am "WOKE" and want an Independent Wales that is so.

 Those over at the Gwlad  Gwladthe new Welsh Nationalists Party  which claims to be Neither  Right Nor Left"  is of course a Right Wing Party and its latest Facebook posting  entitled BEWARE THE YOKE OF THE WOKE, betrays their true ideology.

Covering the recent YES Cymru's annual meeting , they write

Human nature being as it is, this is of course a general problem and as such, it is perhaps something that YES Cymru can manage, based on information and knowledge gleaned from other such organisations and parties.But perhaps the second problem is more of a potential nightmare for the movement's leadership, i.e that the movement is infiltrated by what's called the 'woke' - people who seek to attach a range of other unrelated issues and causes to the independence cause.The 'woke' are usually to be found amongst young people in their 20ies and early 30ies-the product of the left-liberal bias of our current school and university system.They tend to be very judgemental in their approach to what they perceive to be the failings of modern society, constantly seeing 'phobic' people all around them who need to be shamed, blamed and shunned.They also tend to be very insistent on pushing their own agenda, with a disregard for the wider pictureIt was quite troubling on Saturday for example to hear such individuals coming up with statements such as 'An Independent Wales will not be worth having if Wales is not made a completely plastics-free country' and further 'An Independent Wales will not be worth having if Wales is not fully part of the' climate crisis' fight'.One has to wonder in how many other ways an Independent Wales will not 'be worth having' if such pre-conditions are allowed to grow and multiply...?Identifying ourselves mainly as a 'small c' nationalist party campaigning for Independence, GWLAD has no problem with what one would term the 'right-thinking left'. The traditional left if you like.We would for example share their sentiments for some forms of publicly-run services in an Independent Wales(railways, water etc) and could co-operate on other issues as well.Unfortunately, the 'right-thinking left' is now being tainted by their association with the woke brigade and their agenda, and there are signs that the general public is also becoming increasingly fed-up of the self-absorbed nature of the latter.The last thing that YES Cymru needs is for this growing public perception to be attached to the Independence movement.Time for real leadership to keep the indy ship from being dragged on to the rocks.

In attempting  to use WOKE as a derogatory term their are aligning them selved with the emglish actor Laurence Fox

But the original use Stay woke  whih became a watch word in parts of the black community for those who were self-aware, questioning the dominant paradigm and striving for something better which is something , we really should adopt especaily in a Post-Brexit Britain in which the right hold merely all the cards .

 When Cymdeiths Yr Iaith  first public protest took place in February 1963 in Aberystwyth town centre where members pasted posters on the post office in attempt to be arrested and go to trial.^[2] When it became apparent that they would not be arrested for the posters they then moved to Pont Trefechan in Aberystwyth, where around seventy members and supporters held a 'sit-in' blocking road traffic for half an hour it was the moment that these hero's become WOKE.

When we reacted against the vandalism  of the Cofiwch Dreweryn  wall  many in Wales became WOKE.

Yesterday's Holocaust ceremonies reminded us that we should stay WOKE.

And it does mean that we should stay WOKE on the environment . sexual hostility .

If those in Gwlad Gwlad want to live in an Independent Cymru Fach with the same attitudes as Little England under the Tories as we face now , thats up to them.

But I want Independence for something better not a copy of the British State.
