Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been in official lockdown now since the 23rd March meaning, that we have all had to remain indoors apart from shopping for food and exercising once a day. This is understandable as a strategy to save lives and relieve some pressure on an already struggling NHS and, there's no denying that the Westminster Government and the their medical advisers have been 'out of their depth' in regards to battling this deadly killer as has been proven by the death figures in England and Wales since the first death in England took place on the 28th February.
The figures in the two links above are frightening to say the least and although the virus in England and Cymru now seems to be under some 'sort of' control due to the lock-down, public awareness of its dangers, the wearing of masks and gloves and the need to give extra particular attention to washing hands, public hygiene etc, have we, the Cymry, been protected adequately against spread of the virus by the actions of the 'Senedd' in Bae Caerdydd?
Below is a link to their regulations, published on the 27th march, which mirrors the Westminster regulations - which would be fine if Mark Drakeford would not point out every week during his weekly update that "Cymru does not go by anybody else's regulations but the Senedd's. But yet, when it comes to a strategy that works to stop visitors coming into Cymru from England during this period of lock down, Drakeford 'cops out' and states that the 'Senedd' have not got the powers to police the borders! Meanwhile, visitors are pouring in from all directions to beaches, holiday homes and in their camper vans. They frequent our townsvillages, countryside and mountains, often in large groups, possibly spreading the COVID-19 virus and endangering the lives of the native population of Cymru.
Here's a map which shows roads into Cymru from England:
The link below clearly illustrates which motorways and trunks roads leading into Cymru are under the control of the 'Puppet Senedd'
I have written to both Commissioners of police covering GOGLEDD and DE Cymru as well as to Mark Drakeford asking why they cannot police the Cymric side of Pont Hafren or the Trunk roads coming into Cymru from England and turn visitors back at these border points at this dangerous times. Both commissioners replied saying, in short, they couldn't. Mark Drakeford didn't have the courtesy to reply.
The police Commissioners explained they were working with local authorities to monitor visitors but, that means that they may patrol, stop and ask visitors to turn back on roads under the control of the local authority but, by that time, they are here and may have had ample opportunity to spread the virus! There are over 150 beaches in Cymru, not to mention the 100's of other beauty spots and the Cymric police cannot possibly monitor them all! If visitors were turned back at the border points and trunk roads leading into Cymru, less police would need to be employed for the work and the visitors would not reach our Cymric communities to spread the virus! This is common sense and it would be very interesting to see what the death rate in Cymru would have been had this strategy been put into place on March 1st. After all, we, in Cymru would like to travel for holidays or to see families and friends but have observed the rules and stayed at home so, the virus must have entered Cymru somehow and 'somebody' must be spreading it!
SO, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE ABOVE LINK,MARK DRAKEFORD IS LYING WHEN HE STATES THAT THE 'PUPPET SENEDD' HAVE NOT GOT THE POWERS TO POLICE THE BORDER POINTS INTO CYMRU AND BY HIS OBSTINATE RELUCTANCE TO DO SO, HE'S PLACING THE LIVES OF EVERY PERSON LIVING IN CYMRU IN DANGER.
ABOVE PREPARES THE WAY FOR BELOW
We have produced a number of posters (see below) stating the need for gigantic placards to be placed on the Severn Bridge and the other border points into Cymru and for the need for these strategic points to be policed. Some show 'Lluoedd Glyndŵr positioned to do just that - and I, for one, would be on the first line to do it but, of course, we are abiding to the lock down rules and have to stand by whilst Drakeford and the rest in that 'puppet Senedd' continues with their 'bonkers' strategies than places our people in danger. All the parties in there are quilty of their compliance with this, just remember that come the Assembly elections next year, I will.
