Twice now low life considering being a Nazi is something worth admiring is 'cool' and that their 'Racist' BNP/EDL/WDL type beliefs and views find an home on the Welsh Patriotic Fringe. Twice in recent times these diseased Minds have made an appearence and on both occaisions in association with a major presence of Balchder Cymru and Cambria Band, first at the 1911 Llanelli Commemoration and secondly at the 1282 Rali Cilmeri Commemoration.

21 May 2010 – The white eagle flag was indeed used by the Free Wales Army (in ...The White Eagle Cross was given much publicity by the F.W.A. but in fact it ...I myself have had past conection with Militant Welsh Nationalism and with the White Eagle Cross Flag and Badge, I have no opposition to such but am doubtfull of such being represented on arm bands as seen in photo below of Adam Phillips of Balchder Cymru Mk I at a Cilmeri Commemoration in recent years.
Though there is some confusion of late if Adam is now a 'Leader' or even still a member of BC Mk I now that he is Gen Sec of Wales Celtic League and by all accounts in a Golwg revamp of Adam's image. He his now more a 'Drummer for Wales' rather than a wannabe 'Freedom Fighter' in image of his hero FWA Commandant Denis Coslet (RIP) who had become a president of Balchder Cymru at it's foundations. Hence the strong Llanelli interest and connection of BC with that area not least in their annual commemoration of anniversary of his death:
All this does not bother me so much but the 'Nazi Racism' does and not least what I see as a total misuse of an FWA baner (not dated to demise in 1969 as it did with FWA Signed surrender at Swansea Court House on 1st July of that year) giving the impression that the FWA still exists when it does not. Worse, such now being employed as to identify with 'Nazi Racism' with FWA and 'Alternative Nationalism which whilst today for the most part has become reduced to a pathetic 'Knee Jerk' Patriotic Fringe for most part at present identified with Balchder Cymru Mk II (see Russell G.Morris) and failed attempts of Eryr Gwyn Group and Jac o' the North to establish a New Nationalist Party or Movement no matter how hard they try.

This is further worrying with reports of FWA and racist slogans appearing around Llanelli, this makes me consider the possibility of WECTU WEEVILS at work:

23 Jun 2011 – PATRIOTIC INTELLIGENCE SECURITY SERVICE OFFice!: WECTU - WELSH EXTREMIST and COUNTER TERRORIST UNIT - ARE WATCHING YOU .....P1: DAFT NOT DANGEROUS OR SHOULD THAT READ DANGERO. ...That's some background but what of the present post Rali Cilmeri Commemoration and the comments of 'Marianne' being posted to the web, this has given rise to a rather less than fullsome, hardly apalogetic and certainly not radical condemnation of what appears to be BC 'fellow travellers'. I consider it more appropriate if Russell as 'Boss Man' of BC Mk II and also Adam Phillips very much leading 'Super Star' of Cambria Band, both very much joint organisers of the 2011 Rali Cilmeri Commemoration now publically issued a statement making it very clear they condemn these 'Fellow Travellers' and stating also clearly they do not wish to see them appear at events in association with they. BC Mk I or Mk II need now to come up front and be responsible Patriots not duck and dive on the issue, in the hope it might go away. To my mind you have a possible serious right wing penetration, even possible 'Entryism' going on and you need to nip it in the bud beforte it nips you in the butt again. Once more then besmirching Alternative Nationalism which just may cause other 'Welsh Nationalisms' a problem as well be such political or cultural, the last thing you need is this lot turning up at Rally Cilmeri 2012. One thing for sure, there will be no 'Thrice Racist' turn out at the Merthyr 1831 Commemoration 2012.

“hello MarianneH
I was at Cilmeri i was one of the 18 bodyguards, the singing i heard was things like sospan fach , yma o hyd , but i was up an down all over the pub mingling with lots of great characters and patriots. Its a shame you came across an undesirable as i found the day a fantastic event . IF ANYONE SINGS RACIAL SONGS THEY NEED TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THEMSELVES Maybe some folk need to add bit more water to their beer .
Thing is we in Balchder Cymru have some English people in our group and I would rather stand in a battlefield with say 100 Englishmen wanting Welsh Independence than 100000 Union loving Welshmen .
I hope you will be back next year , if you are try find myself (Russell Morris) or Adam Phillips.
see you soon ;-)”

There was a time when I thought Balchder Cymru Mk I (RIP?) had the makings of a Cymric Consiousness Campaign, if it could only throw off their FWA fantasy and love affair with Irish Republicanism. However, for a long time under the stewardship of Adam Phillips they chose the route of Retro Rediculousness of seeking to be a kind of 'non militarists' FWA reborn as a self styled 'Liberation Movement'. There is a Balchder Cymru Mk II under stewardship of Plaid Cymru member Russell G.Morris of Afan Nedd/Port Talbot who again is a great fan of the FWA but all this has allowed and led to is the rise of a sinister form of 'Racism' in and around their ranks as at the Llanelli 1911 - 2011 Commemoration and again at the BC Mk II/Cambria Band organised Rali Cilmeri 2011 Commemoration where again it appears an even worse form of 'Nazi Racism' arose in quite a disgusting form. Unless such is radically challenged we could witness Rali Cilmeri Commemoration becoming a mini 'Welsh Style Nuremburg' or Oswald Mosely Style Olympia Rally. As of yet the BC organisers have not condemed either the 'Rise of Racism' at the Llanelli or the Cilmeri Commemorations, which they should as there can be no doubt that this 'Ugliness' is in association with them as either their members/supporters, 'Fellow Travellers' or some pretty dodgy and dangerous 'Hangers On'. There have been attempts in past by an extreme Anglo - Welsh Right to infiltrate Welsh Nationalism, an organised attempt by the NF 'Political Soldiers' which Golwg Magazine seen off, later the BNP tried to get on board the Abergele Rally and now this recent 'Nazi Nonsense' and just where is it coming from, the BNP or EDL/WDL or even WECTU?

25 Nov 2011 – “I was at the commemoration of Llewellyn at Cilmeri in 2011 and ...Another friend talked to a marcher who said he was a Nazi but not a fascist. ...Russell G. Morris (Plaid Cymru/BC Mk II) has since attempted some reply to the Cilmeri 'Racists' accusations but such is glib as they come and to my mind there appears a 'Sub Text' that one could read into the comments about a 'lot of English Guys ' being in Balchder Cymru? Oh yea! sure they are not members of the BNP or whatever? I suggest Russell issues a more detirmined statement 'Naming and Shaming' these characters, telling them to stay away from Rali Cilmeri and other genuine Welsh Nationalist events. If you do not publically deal with this harshly and loudly then a stink will be following BC Mk II around and as it seems Adam as forsaken BC Mk I for a 'Cushy Corner' in the Celtic League Wales? and a revamped career as a 'Drummer for Wales' not a 'Freedom Fighter' any more! Then I guess it's going to be left to Russell to clear up the 'Cilmeri Crap' they allowed to turn up at Ralli Cilmeri 2011, hopefully not the fellas with the FWA baner which I remind needs to be dated as it is giving the wrong impression. Russells BC Mk II is not an Alternative Nationalist Movement as example Y Cyfamodwyr but more a kind of home brewed 'Patriotic Militant Tendency' operating as 'Entryists' within and around Plaid Cymru and Cymdeithas yr Iaith Cymraeg. I am sure that both these will want all this clarified and cleared up, not least Leanne Wood during her Plaid leadership campaign as Russell it appears is one of her biggest supporters and I am sure he does not want to do anything that might damage her chances as leaving to the media to draw some connections as Plaid Cymru speakers at Rali Cilmeri 2011 and wrong conclusions a London Based Media and Labour Party would and have done in the past.
So a message to Russell and Adam deal with it before it all deals with you, get in first against the Nazis flirting with Balchder Cymru - Make it clear as you can that you have no space or time for 'Nazi Racists'. Be Reminded of where Racism can lead, observe Wales Holocaust Memorial Day:
