IN reply to the letter “Fly the Welsh Flag with pride” – about time someone spoke up. I for one am fed up to the back teeth with all this promotion of Britishness. I suspect that the Pro British- minded still want to control us and our resources for their own benefit, just as they have always tried to do.

They are using their TV channels and media power to suppress Welsh people’s pride in feeling Welsh. They are afraid because we are realising that we are better off pursuing our own policies and making our own decisions about how we live here in Wales and that they will no longer be able to exploit us. Just as more and more Scots are realising too. I fully support the boycott of shops not flying Welsh flags. Their owners should show their customers some respect!
