@druid …yes indeed - the sad thing is a Plaid Cymru controlled council is allowing this, given the memories of #Tryweryn - very sad. Given this turn of events they must have the legal power to review and reject the proposals. The time limit has expired anyway (the previous company built some kind of small hut to claim work had begun to get out of that one 🤨) - will be questioning my Plaid membership if this does eventually happen.

This weekend’s walk was along the bank of the river Tryweryn, near Bala, popular with canoists and white-water enthusiasts, hence the UK’s National White-water Centre is here. We had a hot drink afterwards in the cafe, alongside some canoists. I’ve never been sporty myself, but admire the youngsters who love the challenge, and of course these (mostly bearded-types) young men who seem just to love being in water, and the chance to prove their physical prowess. (sorry, no shots of any of them)

Not only do we have to remember the fact of Tryweryn's flooding in 1965, but how it was flooded - by Act of Parliament that meant no planning consent was needed and protest would be - and ultimately was - futile.

The UK has only ever been the pretence of a democracy, and so it remains.

Cofiwch Dryweryn!
