England to invade Wales…

extremely civil war debated!

When the Normans invaded England, they built a line of castles along the Welsh border in order to keep the barbarous Welsh at bay. In doing so, they unwittingly instigated centuries of debate and rivalry.

The most important castles stood in what was to become Monmouthshire, and it led to the creation of an uneasy ‘boundary’ region: Welsh land manned by English soldiers.

Gets a litle complicated here

So for centuries, the English rulers in their castles tried to keep the Welsh oppressed, normally getting horrifically dead in the process.

Then came a point when the Welshmen decided to stop killing them and just do nine till five sort of things and have a kick about with the kids on the weekend. Sometime refered to as ‘ Laws in Wales Acts in 1535–1542′, which tried to harmonise Welsh and English law.

Years later the English decided it wasn’t that exciting on the Welsh borders, after all and went and did some english stuff in England.

So in 1964 The Welsh Office was created and included Monmouthshire. To all intents and purposes, Monmouthshire became officially Welsh again. They didn’t actually publicise it too much, for fear of the Welshmen picking on the remaining english boys who hadn’t had homes in England to run back to.

So that is it, your thinking. Bit messy but all good in the end, wrong!

The planned invasion.

The English Democrats claim that the county has been wrongly branded as Welsh and are seeking a referendum to enable people living in the county to decide which nationality they would prefer to belong to.

The chief raider said “In 1974, when Monmouthshire was secretly and undemocratically ceded to Wales the electorate were deliberately kept in ignorance.”

So now these guys want all the English that have come to live in this beautifull country to start an uprising. What is democratic about that?

A political party needs to capture part of another country in order to have some where to lord over! Can’t they get votes in their own country?

Well, it all seems a bit heavy handed to me. I just hope they don’t come knocking whilst the game is on. If there is one thing you don’t want to do, it’s disturb a Welshman on match day……

One response so far, say something?
