Listening to Dafydd Iwan speak English is like listening to me speaking Welsh, he has to struggle for the word sometimes, very amusing!

The world is fundamentally changing. The US Dollar and other 'fiat' currency used by the satanists (re: opening ceremony at Olympics) will be replaced by 'asset' backed currency predominantly Gold but Oil Wheat Diamonds have inherent value, GB going ro Silver. There is a world war going on right now, tens of thousands of arrest warrants of human traffickers and paedophiles. the Met at the Yard being one of the biggest gangs. As the rogues are Gitmoed the future will be of service to others not service to self where hopefully the Welsh culture can best thrive.

I love Wales and I’m 🇮🇪

Being Proud is a fine thing..Where did my Parry Surname come from...just maybe Wales..Live on in Peace😊

Better together always. Senseless idea dividing and subdividing countries. That's going backwards, and totally idiotic.

One does wonder whether the failure of the SNP to provide a route to independence might cause that route to independence to be found away from them. I think of all that Salvo and Liberation Scotland are even now doing and how grounded in law their work is. I have made the case to the Green Party in the past to work with the other parties for independence and similar requests to Alba and SNP fall on the same set of deaf ears. But the Scottish individual is sovereign and thus can totally rid government of any not doing what the people want. The day when this is put into practise could come sooner than some think and that can largely be because of the frustration with the SNP to deliver on independence.

Enter into discussions with English towns and cities in preparation for the payment of their citizens water direct to a YesCymru bank account.

Organise pop-up border crossings , as they become popular make them permanent in a friendly way but recording all vehicle registration numbers.

Iwould love to talk with someone about helping and improving wales to be as low carbon as poss whilst generating a massive amont of power with not a wind turbibine in sight

@YesCymru you ok with what Robin said at 12:49? Seriously?

Complete and utter nonsense on every level.

Labour in Wales have managed to regenerate themselves under their successive leaders (jury is still out on Vaughan Gething obviously), while Scottish Labour picked some right duds after Donald Dewar until Anwar took on the job.

I don't get Yes Cymru, it doesn't make sense to me and I'd like someone to explain what it's about. I watched their video below but the comments are turned off: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHraiaqnm8mbm6Msi=6Cb5yxPEfd8-p6CC Why not reform the UK rather than a part of it with arbitrary borders? And to really make Welsh language thrive, why not push it more in the rest of the UK? The only way it would make sense as I can see is if YesCymru identified a race of Welsh people and said that Wales was their homeland, but they obviously don't because they say anyone can be welcomed into Wales.

The SNP drank the WEF coolaid. Everything they did in the last years has been against Nationalism, against common sense, against our own culture and against its own voters. I left two years ago and now with Alba. Big thing was their deliberate stonewalling of independence and also promising people that the only way to do it was through the SNP.

I do have one recommendation though. If you want a guaranteed exit from the Union, extend the vote to the English - you would be out withing the first hour of counting. As regards to Kate Forbes, I think she knows what shit show is going to happen for the next couple of years, so she is not daft enough to be the leader at that time. Always be the leader AFTER the thing has collapsed, not the one at the time.

Mr McAlpine is erudite and makes good points. Mr Jobbins is so out of his depth though. The BLM argument is a bit wayward, seeing as a lot of them are guilty of embezzlement and fraud, but that seems to be the SNP way too now - maybe that is where they learnt it.

Word salad..snp shite…bla bla….sco gov shit….bla bla. Does robin ever shut the f**k up? Had to give up after 20 minutes. I did my best

I will be voting for the SNP rather than, this British 💩👉Labour or Tory 👈🤬

SNP - total shower of scumbags and crooks.

England is on the way out so we are moving into uncharted waters.

Of course SNP needs to work with Alba and every other pro independence body but let’s not forget where the the anti Salmond faction came from.

For the sake of our people we have to vote out the racist division corrupt snp

There is some logic to what he says in the first 5 minutes. Political parties normally change and regenerate when they are in opposition. However, the issue of the SNP being unable to take that break and renew, is hardly their fault. The opposition parties who could combine to form a government (Labour and Lib Dems), could attract pro independence voters if they would take a more democratic approach to constitutional issues. How can a left leaning, pro independence voter support Labour, who take a hardline Unionist stance in refusing a referendum on Independence. The Labour party could completely neutralise the SNP in a heartbeat by standing with a manifesto commitment to hold an Independence referendum should they be returned to majority government in Westminster. The problem is that Labour are British Nationalists first, and Socialists and Democrats a distance second. The mainstream, non unionist Scottish voter has little choice other than the SNP.

Robin Makes excellent points and he got it right with the GRR bill when he said Sturgeon wanted to show the SNP were different but in my view they really didn't want to deal with as he pointed out Education,Health,Economy, Drugs. The latter reflecting the lack of hope in the country. The renaming of the David Hume tower just proves the amount of navel gazing the present day politicians appear to run with. Yes Hume , Churchill and Dahl were racists but these were people of their times so why pick over the past instead of looking into the future.

Independence votes can only be won from Labour. The Labour right is Unionist to the core. Labour left, not so much. That is where the voters are not moving to right economically and socially.

The Scottish Greens did not keep breaking the Bute Hohse Agreement, they did not attack their own government the way some SNP MSPs and MP did, and they did not break the Agreement, without warning, at 08.30 in the morning and turf their partners out into the street. SGP would be daft to support Humza but never proposed crashing the SNP governmemt.

Don't listen to this pish folks. He doesn't represent Scottish Independence movement.

Snp don't name Scottish University buildings,

It is WORSE THAN 79

Unless the SNP immediately buries the ‘hate.Crime Act, forgets about ‘conversion therapy’ bill (aka the banning of gay bill!!!!) and any effing identity politics, they are dead in the water. They need to go back to basics and govern welll in ALL the areas they are responsible for, cut the identity politics and just possibly it will be possible to get independence … but I am not betting that way.

The proposed ‘anti-conversion therapy’ bill is in fact an ‘anti-gay bill’ It is a homophobic bill, those who can’t see this are blind beyond redemption.

Robin cant you run for parliament

I agree with you robin but people have no were to go whats yoyr opinion on salvo is that our opinion also

Independence for Scotland is toast for at least 15-20 years (if ever) thanks to the total lack of preparation in the last 17 years. Scotland now has a £ 20 + BILLION budget deficit which has to be funded, no real improvement in both internal and export infrastructures, declining education, health and local services. No coherent 'pathway to Independence' has been articulated to the electorate, only a number of very expensive, high-level, glossy brochures full of word soup and totally lacking credibility - promises of taking 100,000 children out of poverty, FREE bikes and laptops. Many assume Scotland will keep the GBP, but when I've asked the SNP how the currency will transition to a Scottish Pound - NO REPLIES - there is no detail, nor is there for other costly matters such as borders with the RUK, export tariffs, fisheries protection vessels. The list is endless because NOTHING has been done.

Here's a short video talk about the poem, 'Hon' by T.H. Parry-Willams (1887-1975, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._H._Parry-Williams_ ) which I refer to at the very end of the interview. 'Hon' is the feminie form of 'this' (as 'gwlad' and 'iaith'- country and language - are feminie words in Welsh). It's a well-known poem in Welsh presicely because of the sentiment that we can't escape from Wales and our need to fight for her and her language: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5S7Xnmrg6qebtE

Wir wedi mwynhau'r sgwrs yma gyda Robin. I found this a very interesting, and thought provoking discussion with Robin. I'm not expert enough on Scottish politics to know the ins and outs, but I hope the movement can bring itself back together and on track again. One question I should have asked is, "does Scotland needs something like YesCymru - a non party-political, cross party mass, grass-roots movement, to make the case for independence"?

Hugh MacDiarmud met Saunders Lewis

Gwych! Excellent analysis Robin MacAlpine 👏👏👏

Referring to it as a "union" is like locking a woman and her children in your basement and calling it a "family". Plus the minor point of the uk becoming the laughing stock of the world, lets just back away from this, like you would from a weird crackhead on the street.

One country being ruled by a separate country is not democracy in any form, and its dangerous for both sides to believe otherwise.
