Owain Glyndwr was last Prince of Wales

THE announcement on Wednesday that the English establishment (that includes the Tory and Labour parties) has decreed that the second Severn Crossing is to be called The Prince of Wales Bridge shows that its intention of ramming the royal family down our throats continues unabated.

Almost two decades after the barbaric conquest and occupation of Wales by England in 1282, Edward I decided to add insult to injury upon Wales by installing his son as so-called Prince of Wales. This legacy of contempt for Wales has been perpetuated to this day, Charles Windsor being the 21st imposed, English Prince of Wales, all having been foisted on the people of Wales without their consent of course.

However, it was briefly interrupted during the Welsh rebellion of 1400 – 1412, when Owain Glyndwr emerged as the last authentic Prince of Wales, approved, supported and followed by the vast majority of the people of Wales at the time

As such, I suggest that everyone who loves Wales refers to the bridge as The Prince Owain Glyndwr Bridge, so as to specify the only Prince of Wales that they recognise and to which they pay allegiance.

The revelation that Wales’ First Minister Carwyn Jones raised no objection to the newer Severn crossing being renamed The Prince of Wales Bridge shows clearly that his primary allegiance is to the English establishment and the will of this establishment. He can’t even be bothered to try to establish the will of the people of Wales on the issue. Gwyn Hopkins Llangennech, Llanelli
