Strange to choose Wales Online to rebut pretty much the entirety of European History, the accepted definition of a sovereign nation and the lack of any ability to sustain a country in terms of economics, defence or administration.
You seem annoyed with me for disturbing your dream with the hard facts. I didn't personally create any of these factors, I'm just telling you what they are.
I hesitate to bring politics into it, but I think you've been the victim of a very divisive strain of that dark art. It's been the way if things for a long time now to destroy Britain from within partially by creating as many divisions and discontentments as possible in order to " divide and conquer".
In my youth there were a few Welsh Nationalists, but they were regarded as complete nut cases who grew their hair longer than was then customary and wrote atrocious poems . This fringe lunacy has been nicely exploited and fed by the same people who encourage black v white, north v south and men v women amongst other myriad shit stirring ventures.
Rather than just gainsaying me with unsupportable strap lines, tell us stuff like where the capital of Wales was , which kings of Wales were crowned there, what were their names and what did they achieve ? What was the main historical impact of this fictitious country ? What was its relationship with other countries in Europe such as France and Germany ?
What was the religion there and did it take part in the crusades for example ? Who were its ambassadors to the Vatican and what position did it take in the Reformation ?
Who was the Roman Governor during that age and was it a client state of Rome ?
How big was its navy and which colonies did it establish when every European country was doing that ?
These are all questions you could answer if there were answers ,but obviously you couldn't , so regard them as rhetorical ones.
See, I don't want to be cast as the nasty collaborator who's pissing on your bonfire or trying to deny you your freedom, but you're making me sound like that with these frankly childish slogans and some strange refusal to acknowledge reality.
