On the afternoon of October 3rd 2013 the Labour run council instigated a sneak attack on the mural celebrating the
1839 Newport Rising. Despite efforts from local campaigners their protests were
ignored by the Labour run council. They were ignored by Labour's Culture Minister, they were ignored by Labour's Newport MP Paul Flynn and they were ignored by Cadw. For those not aware Cadw is the Welsh word for keep or protect. And yet the Chartist mural was not kept or protected from the Labour cabal that sought to destroy it in order to build a shopping centre.
The campaigners had
organised a demo to take place on Saturday the 5th (it's still going ahead). Unfortunately for them the sneak attack happened two days before. With the so called workers party sending workers in to the destroy the workers mural. That last sentence screams irony but it'll be lost on Newport and the rest of Wales unless the people rise up once more and destroy these enemies of Wales.
Whilst I'm not saying that we should form armed gangs and attack our ruling masters physically we need to take control of our lives by the process of democratically rejecting these traitors to both their class and their people.
Or we can continue voting for them because our parents and their grandparents did. In which case it'll just keep happening. These scumbags only understand one thing, power. But we have the power to remove these corporate shills from their positions so that they can never bully and terrorise our towns, counties and country again.

If anyone wants to find out more about the campaign they can view their facebook
page here. I'm hoping the people that fought to save the mural will be spurned on by this and use it for their own modern and democratic insurrection.
