English Defence Force close Aberystwyth

PEOPLE looking "slightly Welsh" could be ordered to produce an identity card tomorrow, as a peace group acts out what it claims are the daily troubles facing thousands of Palestinians on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Aberystwyth Peace Network (APN), masquerading as the English Defence Force, will occupy the town, imposing a curfew, building checkpoints and asking for identity cards from all people with a Celtic complexion.

no... seriously - this EDF thing isn't clever or interesting, just very silly.

Heard of multiculturalism and diversity in Wales yet? When I left Wales, marrying outside your immediate family was considered 'diversity'. Still striving for that all white Cymru?

The concept of 'English' people oppressing 'Welsh' people got risible when you got a parliament and the English didn't.

Wow. That's one seriously missed point

Jeez, Shindach, these English Defence Force people aren't saying that England is oppressing Wales - this stunt is trying to highlight the way the IDF acts in Palestine, by showing what life would be like if the English acted towards the Welsh the same way.

In future, could you please save this bile for when the SNP or Plaid Cymru wankers finally discover indymedia- at the moment, the only nationalists that have any kind of presence here are the fucking BNP...

And if you want a regional parliament, go take it out on your politicians, not at the Welsh, or Scots. We're happy to let you organise your country the way you want to.
Why you'd want more politicians is beyond me though, I'd be more than happy to let you have ours....

OK...

I realise the point they are trying to make, but the whole 'EDF' is feeding off Welsh supremacists (I know, but they exist) and their hatred of a fantasised 'English' oppressor that simply doesn't exist. So while my comment was slightly off topic, the underlying hatred of this action is clear.

Why not have the 'jews' oppressing Aberystwyth with false hooked noses and star of David uniforms? That would be more fitting for the ISM, I think, more in their style.

Pro occupation spin - again

Typical ‘If you campaign against Israel’s illegal occupation, you must be anti-Semitic’ posting from Shinach. This old spin does not stop racism – Its more likely going to encourage it
