I've come across a worrying increase in content from Welsh social
media users discussing whether the English name for Wales
should be abolished and replaced with Cymru.
They say things like: "Rename our country Cymru!" This is a
nonsensical statement because it is already called Cymru; this is the name for the country in her own language, Welsh
or Cymraeg. When speaking Welsh you
always refer to Wales
as Cymru, in the same way you refer
to England as Lloegr, France
as Ffrainc and Germany
as Almaen. However, if Frenchmen want
to refer to Wales
they have their own indigenous term: Pays
des Galles. What these keyboard warriors are saying is that the specific name
for Wales
should be abolished from only the English language. The next edition of the Newspeak
Dictionary would therefore list the country as being called "Cymru".
We've seen this kind of thing a lot in geography lately. Names that I used to
know for countries and cities such as Turkey ,
Peking , Bombay
and Burma have
vanished from maps, travel brochures and the media. In the recent Paris
Olympics the BBC insisted on addressing the Turkish medal-winning shooting team
as "Türkiye". There are movements to continue this practice. New
Zealand should be changed to Aotearoa and India ,
one of the oldest nations on earth, is to be called Bharat. This is nothing more than a typical vulgar act of wokery,
no doubt justified by a platitudes about "colonialism" and
"Eurocentrism". I refuse to comply with it, as I do all of this
cultural Marxist mind-venom. As far as Wales
goes, my own homeland, this development is actually very predictable. Y Senedd Cymru, the Welsh parliament,
which I visited recently, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2024/01/visiting-senedd.html,
love this kind of thing. It's what you'd expect from such a bunch of glorified
town councillors when they're suddenly put in charge of a country. Here's an
earlier example of their malice: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2021/07/sarah-everard-update.html.
This is all toxic rubbish that feeds what I call the CVD-
Celtic Victimhood Delusion. It is one of the most destructive deceptions ever
played on us and it has allowed Brussels
globalists to take over half of our home islands, see background links below. Sadly,
it is believed in by most Welsh people. I'm not just criticizing my own
country; in fact Scotland
is far worse. The CVD is a very culturally ingrained myth. They truly believe that
it is physically impossible for our country to have any other foreign enemy
than England . As
a result other foreign enemies have just waltzed in unopposed; in fact they
have even been welcomed. Perhaps this is an understandable mistake considering
our history, but it's time to get over it! We Welsh people must update our
mental and cultural software. Those days are over and we now live in a very
different world. The CVD is inspiring a cascade of lies such as English people
being "not really native British" and calling them "Anglo-Saxon
invaders"; which is false, as I explain in my Senedd video linked above. Like all people who gain power, lack
responsibility, suffer from low intelligence and feel demographic hatred, they
are poised to commit cruelty and injustice. For example, a community council in
Gwynedd wants council houses to be granted only to Welsh-speakers. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg17r60lkvo.
This is supported by many people as "encouragement" to learn Welsh;
yet this is not encouragement, it is actually tantamount to coercion. It is
only encouraging people in the same way Justin Trudeau encouraged Canadian lorry
drivers to have a medical treatment, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/01/trevors-trucker-footage.html.
This council is calling for people to be forced
to use the language, against their will if necessary. At this rate a time is
going to come when the Anglophone Welsh are going to have to fight for their
rights. The only solution to this dark path Wales
is heading down is to speak out and oppose it. We can hope that our words find
their way to more sensible ears who have the ability to change things before it
is too late

The inane tokenism of cretinous dilettantes. The biggest threat to the Welsh language is the extinction of the Welsh people. With current pitiful levels of fertility the population will be cut in half every 50 years. The country might be labelled "Cymru" on a map at some point in the future but whoever is left wandering the valleys will not understand why and still less will they give a shit.
Exactly, Anon. It is Welsh-speakers themselves who are horrified by the thought that Welsh is now described by UNESCO as out of danger. They can't cope with the fact that they are no longer the Great Downtrodden and that narcissism is ruining the country.
Back in the day the English refused to acknowledge 'Ireland' (the English version of Éire’) as the official name for Ireland. This was despite the Irish having it written into their constitution alongside Éire’. Weird folks the Welsh Anglophiles...

FCUK, yes that's true and now, as usual, they think they can heal an injustice by cancelling it out with another injustice. It doesn't work. All you get is a double dose of injustice.
In the 80's, there used to be a TV sitcom called "Never The Twain" starring Tony Britton and Windsor Davies (who was Welsh.) In one episode, Tony Britton referred to Cymru as "Simru" by pronouncing the letter 'C' as an 'S'. I think it was highlighting a common mistake many people make without knowing. 😁
It was quite a funny show.

Hi, GT. I remember that. It was really great comedy with two superb actors. Some of the full episodes are on Dailymotion.
