Petition calls for 'Wales' to change name...

Sadly I have not succeeded in locating the last remaining copy of Massaliote Periplus. As far as I know, the earliest mention of Albion comes from a late 4th century CE translation from the Greek Massaliote Periplus which was written in the 6th century BCE and used as a source for Roman writer Avienius’s poem Ora Maritima (The sea coast). The Massaliote Periplus may be the first known written source of the existence of the Celts; the name Celtarum shows up in Avienus’s Latin translation. If that's incorrect, please enlighten me.

You ask me for evidence then provide it yourself. I said there isn't a majority in Scotland who want to leave the UK, you claim the split is about 50/50. So you agree with me! There are loads of links that say Yousaf has killed off the independence debate for years. Don't take my word for it, google it.

I think tbe first thing i shall do as adviser to Queen Melissa Merch Sara Merch Ieuan Ap Barbara is quadruple the tax payable by anyone wishing to use the language. That, combined with my knowledge of how to make PROPER ied’s should sort the problem out.

Interesting development this as it calls into question the monarchy in Wales.
Would they become Prince or Princess of Cymru?

apologies for the delay in replying.


What are the obvious reasons then? They don't appear obvious to me , except you are putting the blockers on yourselves voting in an English national party because you are trying to desperately cling to the twitching corpse of Britannia.



The uk shouldn't have a national anthem any more than the Eu should have one , as neither are nations , but multi national entities. That GSTK dirge has no place in any nation in the 21st century , and that anthem is hated in Scotland , especially the lines rebellious Scots to crush.

What do you mean Scottish and welsh nationalism are accepted? 



same as you would listening to the EU anthem at an England sporting event.




Honestly red , at times I do wonder what planet some people inhabit , with respect. The uk has been coming apart at the seams for years. It is a fact the Republic of Ireland left a century ago , it is a fact the old unitary state ended a quarter of a century ago , and it is a fact unionism is in decline in the remaining Celtic countries, perhaps even in England itself.

 Who can say whether the tipping point is quite been reached as yet , but the idea the union is in healthy shape with years to go is of course delusional in the extreme. You mock mcyousaf , but this only shows you don't understand Scottish nationalism .Independence is more popular now than at any time in recent years , with support for unionism at its lowest point in living memory. 

Something like that. The point is , the Celts were various groups of peoples , linked by language and culture , who were spread from these islands in the west , Iberia , France , through Central Europe (modern Austria southern Germany Switzerland etc) northern Italy over to what is now central turkey.

Until the greeks and romans first encountered them , we know little about them , we don't even know when the Celtic languages first came to these islands. The name comes from the same root word as `kilt` meaning hidden . Supposedly the hidden people , in reference to the pre christian druidic polytheist religion which forbade the Celts writing things down. I think it was caesar who recorded that the Celtic religious class , the druids , spent twenty years memorising all the laws and customs to qualify as a druid.

To go back to the name Alba , the point is it wasn't the greeks and romans who coined the name , but merely translated it into their languages from the original Goidelic language of the Celts. Then down through the millennia , as I stated above ,it has come to mean many things as the territory of the Goidelic Celts receded , then enlarged once more on this island.
