Vandals - Insulters of our History - A Council of Cretins ordering the smashing of Newports Chartist Mural before the major Saturday protest to Save it

Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr is raging with anger at the insult delivered to the people of Newport and Wales by the destruction of the Newport Chartist Mural today.

The destruction of our past is for us to lose confidence in our future - it is a wake up call to the whole of Wales, how Councils to well funded bodies like CADW they spit on our our past of struggle unless it conforms to their subservient interests.

If this insult leads to a rewakening that is long overdue then we will salvage something from this shameful act of Vandalism in Newport.

Shame on Newport Council and their treason against the people.
