In 1983, Dafydd Iwan wrote “Yma o Hyd”. It was a political protest song - to “raise the spirits, to remind people we still speak Welsh against all odds, to show we are still here". It’s now sung by hundreds of thousands of people across Wales and the World. [thread]

Yma o Hyd - Still Here The song came during the Thatcher era. Many coal pits closing down. Iwan said he “felt demoralised” about Wales. An important factor in the song was also the 1979 referendum - where 79.7% of people voted against a Welsh Parliament.

RE: Radio Cymru - Daf Du claimed in February that listening had doubled in the last quarter of 2022. Presumably based on BBC Sounds figures? Because on the basis of this book, his defectors have been proved right and he's thrown away what was a growing audience. #RAJARWales

It’s embarrassing to watch, bumbling with no direction and no answers. Do they understand the consequences of their actions on the next generation of farmers? Methodology Methodology Methodology bla bla bla. 😡

Da iawn Alun Elidyr ar Radio Cymru heddiw, yn holi pa niwed mae rhai o'i gyd-ffermwyr yn ei wneud i ddatganoli. Fel y dwedodd, onid Sunak a'i griw sydd wedi lleihau ar yr arian i amaeth wedi trychineb Brexit?
