DEMONSTRATION: SCRAP THE BEDROOM TAX!
Friday 29. March 2013
Tens of thousands of people in Wales will be hit by the so-called "bedroom tax" and other benefit cuts when they come into force in April - more pain for ordinary working-class people handed down by the politicians who only represent the rich.
Last January a very successful protest was organised against the demonisation of benefit claimants. The growing anger has squeezed some concessions out of the government. They've backed off from taxing adult children in the armed forces and partly from foster carers as well.

A SOCIALIST TAKE ON SAVING THE WELSH LANGUAGE
Monday 18. February 2013
Below is the transcript of a speech that Welsh communist, Gareth Miles, delivered at the Trefechan Bridge Rally on 2nd February 2013. The address was made to approximately 500 people gathered on Trefechan Bridge, Aberystwyth, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Welsh Language Society’s first protest on 2nd February 1963. On that date, some 40 students, women and men, staged a roadblock on the bridge with the express intention of being arrested and refusing summons issued exclusively in English.
The actions of the protesters were inspired by a radio address which had been given by the Welsh intellectual Saunders Lewis – an address which is consistently referenced in this speech. On the day this speech was given, those at the rally were also gathered in concern over census figures showing a decline in the percentage of Welsh speakers in Wales and especially in the traditional heartlands of the language.

Wales Remembers February 15th 2003
Friday 15. February 2013
A vigil will be held in Cardiff City centre tomorrow afternoon to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the 2 million strong anti-war protest which took place in London on February 15th 2003. It was the biggest public demonstration in British history. People really believed that Tony Blair was listening to his voters and not to the warmongers running America.
The Cardiff vigil will remember that moment when the ordinary people on the street said out loud what they wanted – and it was made clear that those in power in Westminster didn’t care. Millions across the world protested that day, from European cities to the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Syria, India, Russia, South Korea, Japan - and even McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
