Socialism – Welsh Independence – Community Action
Recently, Valleys Underground have taken inspiration from a variety of local groups and attempted to provide a ‘Saturday supply station’ for the people of Merthyr.

Now, more than ever, we need to build up Socialism at the grassroots – to build up comnunity networks in the face of the oncoming attacks.

How many abandoned buildings would you say there are in Wales currently? 100? 200? 500? Well, according to recent figures, there’s a little more than 500. As of 2017, there are at least 23,000 properties laying empty. …Jesus Christ. The thing is though, despite the initial shock of the statistic, it shouldn’t really come as
On the 11th May this month, on a surprisingly sunny Saturday, arguably one of the most historic events in recent Welsh history occurred. Whether or not you accept the estimated number, it was said over a thousand descended upon Cardiff in the largest ever march for Welsh Independence. Indeed, whether it’s the rise of the
