The government doesn’t want you to know this but you can create new people. You don’t have to import them.




Today in Welsh history… 27 September 1857, for action on this day, during the Indian Mutiny, at the Siege of Lucknow, bombardier Jacob Thomas from Llanwinio, near Carmarthen of the Bengal Artillery, was awarded the Victoria Cross. His citation reads:

For distinguished gallantry at Lucknow on the 27th September, 1857, in having brought off on his back, under a heavy fire, under circumstances of considerable difficulty, a wounded soldier of the Madras Fusiliers, when the party to which he was attached was returning to the Residency from a sortie, whereby he saved him from falling into the hands of the enemy.

The Siege of Lucknow was the prolonged defence and subsequent evacuation of the Residency (political offices) within the city of Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Royal Artillery Museum, Woolwich, England.








Today in Welsh history… 17 September 1880, Fred Godfrey (the pen name of Llewellyn Williams) the WWI songwriter, was born in Swansea.

During WWI he gained a reputation as a writer of war songs. His song "Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty" was recorded in 1916 and quickly became a hit. On 26 January 1917 he was conscripted into the Royal Naval Air Service (he was transferred to the Royal Air Force in 1918). In 1917, while he was away in the RNAS, "Down Texas Way", a song he had written the year before, was published and become a success. He is also credited with writing the lyric for "Bless 'Em All" in 1917.

In November 1940, George Formby's recording of "Bless 'Em All" was released. After WWI, it had become a kind of unofficial anthem of the RAF. The recording was an immediate success. Formby recorded a second version in early 1941, with new lyrics by Godfrey.






Today in Welsh history… 7 September 1402, Henry IV was nearly killed whilst campaigning against Owain Glyndwr in Wales.

Following Owain Glyndwr's victory at The Battle of Bryn Glas on 22nd June,​ Henry IV attempted to regain control in Wales. Crossing into central Wales from Shrewsbury and Hereford Castle, Henry’s forces marched towards the Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida.

In terrible weather and constantly harried by Owain's forces, Henry reached Strata Florida and partially destroyed the abbey, executing monks suspected of pro-Glyndwr loyalties. However, Owain's forces continued to engage in guerilla tactics on the English king’s supply chain. By 7th September, torrential rain was lashing Henry's army, he was reduced to sleeping in his armour and was almost killed by a large tent support when his tent blew away. By September 22nd, it was evident that the campaign had been a military failure for the King and his army, starving and demoralised, was forced to withdraw to Hereford Castle.

When politicians and smug media commentators tell you that "we need migrants to do the jobs that Brits won't do", it's a LIE.
Millions of migrants come to Britain not to work, but to abuse the benefits system - costing the country billions.






Today in Welsh history… 28 August 1859, the great geomagnetic storm known as ‘The Carrington Event’ began. Lasting until 3 September it is, arguably, the greatest and most famous space weather event in the last two hundred years.

Although the use of electricity was still in its infancy, significant portion of the world’s 200,000 km of telegraph lines were affected, many of which were unusable for 8 h or more and some even ignited. Auroras were seen around the British Isles and at its height, the aurora was a blood or deep crimson red that was so bright that one “could read a newspaper by.” 

On September 1, English astronomer Richard Carrington pointed his telescope toward the sun and began to sketch a cluster of enormous dark spots that freckled its surface. Suddenly, Carrington spotted what he described as “two patches of intensely bright and white light” erupting from the sunspots. Five minutes later the fireballs vanished, but within hours their impact would be felt across the globe.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Baltic Way-protest, a peaceful anti-communist gathering of almost 2 million Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians. The human chain spanned about 690 kilometers (or 430 miles).


Imagine Brits doing a peaceful protest like this against illegal migrants…
