DYMA RAI SYNIADAU AR SUT I FYND ATI I AIL-FEDDIANNU TIR EIN GWLAD. HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GO ABOUT RE-POSSESSING THE LAND OF OUR NATION.









The holiday home issue has risen its head again as the demand for properties in Cymru has increased at an alarming rate.  Outsiders are, no longer, just looking for properties to buy to have as holiday homes, they are now buying properties to live in all year round as the advance in technolgy is enabling them to 'work from home' wherever they choose their homes to be, and as they are eager to leave the crime, drug and now Covid ridden inner cities of England, they increasingly choose Cymru as 'where they want their home to be'. Added to this is the latest sinister development of syndicates, both English and International, and they are, also, seeking cheap properties, lands and forestries to add to their portfolios. These syndicates may, just sit on these properties for a period and then re-sell for a large dividend on their investment or, they may develop to reap in their profits that way, either way, Cymru is losing these properties on a large scale.

In the case of housing, unemployed Cymry, and that's a large proportion of the population of Cymru, cannot ever hope for a mortgage to purchase a property and the Cymry in employment, in most cases, cannot compete against outsiders in the housing market and others, in many cases, have spent thousands on solicitors and surveying fees when trying to buy properties only to be gazumped by higher offers from outsiders!

This unfairness should not be happening and would not be happening if the County Councils and Welsh Government had been doing what they should have been doing to safeguard our nation, land, properties and resources but, clearly, they haven't delivered on the promises made when voted into their positions. They have been in their positions for many decades, and have not bothered to scrutinize and tighten up housing policies in favour of the Cymry in their own land. Likewise, they've done nothing to re-possess and/or seek compensation for land and resources pillaged over the centuries by robber baron families and later by capitalist companies and are now, allowing our land and 'crown jewels', such as Coleg Harlech and Plas Glynllifon, to be bought and re-sold over and over to outsiders without lifting a finger to save them.

The Cymry are waking up, at last, to the seriousness of the situation and are spitting out their anger on social media  - with some 'openly' calling for the return of Meibion Glyndŵr but, in my opinion,  I believe that the re-launching of an arson campaign on holiday homes would be futile as a means of combating the current crisis. Yes, this method of 'fighting back' would certainly create a level of exitement and make the news, and raise insurance cover costs for holiday homes but, it could also cause fatalities and I, for one do not want anyone's death on my conscience. There are other, more effective ways in the long term, of being active in fighting back, as follows;

CHANGING PROPERTY BUYING POLICIES IN FAVOUR OF THE CYMRY.


Alun Lenny, who is a Plaid Cymru Councillor in Sir Gâr I believe, revealed a very interesting point on social media the other day, he pointed out how the province of Bolzano in Italy has banned both foreigners and Italians from buying holiday homes in the area – for that very reason. Second homes can only be bought by residents who have spent five years living in the region, or those who work locally.

 We most definitely need similar policies in Cymru. Every four years, we are bombarded with flyers from persons who promise to change our world for the better if we give them our vote in council elections and every five years, we are promised similar by prospective candidates in the general election but, have they, in general, delivered on their promises once they've had our vote? If we look at housing and job opportunities in Cymru today, a big resounding NOOOO is the answer! Our land, forestries, resources and housing is being sold off at 'given away' prices and the Cymry have no means or any hope of competing for any of it on the property market. Also, offers will always be gazumped by the higher offers of outsiders so, like Scotland, we must have a policy in place to stop the practice of gazumping in Cymru. 

THIS HAS TO CHANGE - AND IT WON'T UNLESS WE FORCE IT TO!

Write to your local County Councillor and to your constituency Senedd Member DEMANDING that they get housing policies changed now - IMMEDIATELY, so that Native Cymry, like those of  Bolzano in Italy, CAN buy a house in their native land.

HOW MANY CYMRY OR CYMRIC COMMUNITIES ARE AWARE OF THE WELSH GOVERNMENT'S TAN 6 POLICY, A POLICY NOT AVAILABLE IN ENGLAND?

Not many I guess, so, it REALLY is in the interest of ALL Cymric communities to read this policy thoroughly in the following link;


Whilst the majority of Cymry and Cymric communities are completely oblivious in regards to the TAN 6 policy that has been in action since 2008, an Oxford based company Lammas has been encouraging and assisting hordes of English outsiders to move to Cymru to start ventures for this 'One Planet Development' concept of theirs and all with the assistance and 'green light' planning permissions of the Welsh Government. I repeat, THIS POLICY IS NOT AVAILABLE IN ENGLAND. 

 See links below to see how Lammas has been and still is encouraging this 'exodus' from England into Cymru assisted by the TAN 6 policy - right under our noses:





The question is poised, why has the Welsh Government not been active in making Cymry and Welsh communities aware of their TAN 6 policy and available funding to establish ventures in Cymric communities? They could have done so in a number of ways, large adverts in the Cymric media and Papurau Bro and by holding seminars on the subjects in community halls throughout Cymru for example. Instead, all members, including Plaid Cymru members, in this NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE' institution in Bae Caerdydd have sat back and not only allowed, but have colluded with the 'on going' colonizing of our land by means of this TAN 6 policy.

See link below how this is done:


THIS STOPS NOW! THERE SHOULD BE A MAJOR RALLY HELD OUTSIDE THAT "SHAM ASSEMBLY" TO SHOW CLEARLY THAT WE, THE CYMRY, ARE NOW AWARE OF THE TAN 6 POLICY AND WE WILL NOT PUT UP WITH IT ANYMORE. LIKE THEIR HOUSING POLICIES, IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TO BE ONLY AVAILABLE TO CYMRY AND CYMRIC COMMUNITY INITIATIVES! LET ENGLAND GET THEIR OWN SIMILAR POLICY OUT SO THAT THE ENGLISH CAN CONTRIBUTE TO 'SAVING THE PLANET' BY STARTING VENTURES ON THEIR OWN 'GREEN AND PLEASANT LANDS AND NOT IN AND ON OURS!

Of course, we cannot have a major rally outside the "sham Senedd" at this present time  due to restrictions posed by the Covid 19 pandemic but, we can start the ball rolling by signing a petition (which I'v just penned and which is now waiting to be approved by the  Welsh Government) and by writing to your Senedd member to express your disapproval and also, by sharing this post far and wide, but only throughout Cymru to ensure that as many Cymy and Cymric communities become aware of the TAN 6 policy and begin to take advantage of it to start ventures in their communities.

I, myself, by browsing the web have only really had my own eyes fully opened to how dangerous this TAN 6 Policy, this One Planet Development Plan and the Lammas organization is to the continuation of Cymru as a nation. The One Planet Development is just that, it has no interest in sustaining the identity of nations, history, culture or language only the planet! I have only provided a few links to open everyone's eyes to what is going on and would advise, one and all to look more into this for a 'full on eye opener'. If it is allowed to continue, forget marching for Independence, we will have no nation left to get independence for. The "sham Assembly" politicians, including the Plaid Cymru ones, know it and they have got the cheek to demand 30 additional Senedd members! Is that their idea of Independence? A puppet "sham Welsh administration centre" that will be part of a 'one planet' melting pot?

 AND THE PILLAGING CONTINUES...

 The TAN 6 Policy, as bad and as harmful as it has been and still is,  is but one side of the coin, as well as,  houses and other properties, land and forestries throughout Cymru are being bought up by wealthier outsiders and developers at an equally alarming pace, be they individuals or capitalist,  and similar to housing policies, policies in regards to the sales of our land and forestries have to be tightened up so that Cymric community syndicates have priorities over outsiders or otherwise,

However, don't sit back and wait for them to change the TAN 6  policy to be applicable to indigenous Cymric communities only, begin to take advantage of the policy immediately to assist in forming Cymric syndicates to buy land and forestries to develop community regeneration programmes on, and with this in mind, it would be worth looking into the old Cymric tradition of building tai - unnos on tir comin (common land) see following links:










They are already reclaiming old log cabins and rebuilding in Worcestershire.


With a bit of backbone, this could be still done to place a stake on common land here in Cymru. Go searching and old 'tai un-nos, now in ruins, can still be found on common lands.  We ourselves, did try and encourage the building of, at least one, three years ago, whilst we were campaigning against the setting up of a gigantic Wind Farm on Mynydd y Gwair, which is land stolen by the medieval robber barons and which is still being ravaged by their ancestors the Beauforts. We tried to encourage patriots to join us in building a Ty -un-nos on Somerset Field, the last bit of commom land on Mynydd y Gwair, in protest against the ravaging of our lands by robber barons and the building of wind farms on this land by capitalist Wind Farm developers. See link to one of Gethin ap Gruffydd's blog post  in regards to this protest action:


But, did any Cymric patrioticn volunteers come on board to help us build a Ty un-nos on Somerset field? NOOOOO! We had a few empty promises but, when the date came to carry building materials up, there wasn't a 'rebel' in sight!


HOW THE REGENERATION OF CYMRIC COMMUNITIES CAN  BOOST THE ECONOMY OF CYMRU AS A WHOLE AND ENABLE CYMRU TO DECLARE ITSELF TO BE AN INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN NATION.

See link before to another of Gethin ap Gruffydd's blog posts for Hu Gadarn ventures. This has already been started by Blaenau Ffestiniog patriots and I believe they are having limited assistance from the town's council but it is a concept that can be developed throughout Cymru and colleges, such as Coleg Harlech,  are needed to train the unemployed of our nation in necessary skills that will sustain and strengthen Hu Gadarn and numerous other ventures that would enable Cymru to be economically Independent whilst able to trade worldwide.

See second link for the Mondragon Venture which started in Euskadi (Basque country) in 1956 and be inspired with how they developed and are now trading world wide.

montdragon Venture:


This blog post gives plenty of information and plenty of food for thought and hopefully will show clearly how much of a crises Cymru is in. This is to launch our new fb group TYDI CYMRU DDIM AR WERTH! and all associated material to inform and enspire action to save what we have left of our nation will be placed on the page of this group.

FOR A FURTHER 'WAKE UP CALL', I WOULD SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE WATCHES A PROGRAMME ENTITLED 'OUR LIVES TO BE BROADCAST ON BBC1 AT 7.30PM ON WEDNESDAY 3RD SEPT. SEE LINK BELOW.
