No to Investiture - petition responses

There have been some very interesting responses to the No to the investiture of a new Prince of Wales petition and also some well known political figures have signed up. We have selected some choice remarks below:

Wales, like Ireland, is an indivisibly independent and sovereign nation. It should no longer suffer the yoke of colonial and aristocratic ‘privilege’ borne out of the centuries old burden foisted upon them by the English crown. The Welsh Nation have not voted for the English ‘Prince of Wales’ to govern or hold sway over them (and vast tracts of their land). The forced installation of a quasi-head of state upon the Welsh people is unjust, undemocratic and, in the eyes of the world, unlawful. It is time to end such archaic practices and for such parasites as the English ‘Royal’ family to be stripped of their immense wealth and power. They are not Welsh and have no right to ‘govern’ an entire nation as ‘divine rulers’.
Cymru am byth! Ireland stands beside you. Tiocfaidh ar la!
Lawrence O’Keeffe

Even a cursory knowledge of Welsh histoy would illuminate the manifest aim of subjugation and humiliation inherent in the first investiture by Edward 1st . Any thoughts of a future ‘investiture’ symbolic of otherwise would be an insult to any self-respecting Welsh person.

Ar ôl iddo chwarae sowljers bach yn Affganistan, onid yn y fan honno y dylid ei arwisgo?
