PROTESTING SCHOOL KIDS AND YOUNG STUDENT HOPEFULLS? Go On Kids Protest! IT's YOUR FUTURE SO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FIGHT FOR AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN!


The Police have called upon School Kids to stay away from Student Protests but why should they not be involved, the issue of education and student fees, the cuts in general are of concern to them. So go on kids get involved not least in your own school and locality, to inspire you take a look at the below:

  3. September 2011 will mark the anniversary of the Llanelli School Strike and I think the young people of Wales should organise a major young peoples National 'all Wales' commemoration of this event. Plus go one step further make it a platform for young peoples protest against the Cuts and Carve up of Wales. First and foremost of course such initiative should be a priority matter for Llanelli School Children but then why not get Funky Dragon involved and backing up:

  4. I seem to remember in my School Days at Old Castle School in Bridgend there was a bit of a School Kids 'Riot' or rather End of Term jubilation getting out of hand. Seem to remember large crowd of us kids marching around the School yard and school stuff being thrown out of windows. So far back and poor memory, I might have dreamt this up, false memory, just wishful thinking? Ah well! Great if it did happen?

ANARCHISM & ANARCHISM IN WALES PLUS THE SEIGE ON SIDNEY STREET DECEMBER 1910 - JANUARY 1911.


......My connection, well this is rather stretching it but Cayo had a Mauser C96 aka 'Peter The Painter' in his FWA Armory, nice gun! Those were the days but to be honest just as well the police put a stop to us as it was all well on its way to getting out of hand? A 'Terrible Buety' being born in Caernarfon is one thing but might it all have eventually ended up as ugly as many incidents in armed political struggles where Freedom Fighters do become 'Terrorists'. To my mind easy to define the difference is when the target becomes civilians and that equally applies to standing armies and airforces as it does to political groups and worse Religious Fanatics. I still stand back from total commitment to pacifism as if push comes to shove, these days I would not advocate fighting or dieing for Country and certainly not for 'Y Crachach' but there might be other reasons? As in fantasy What If? Alternative History Fiction as in my ASSYRIAN ROD:
