I had a wonderful day. I have not been on a political rally since opposing the first Gulf War. I am sure there are photos of me with a SWP placard somewhere.

There were a mixture of people. Politicos (Labour/Llafur, Plaid, Greens, a Lib Dem), Anti Fascists, People against Racism, Welsh speakers, English speakers, Church, Chapel, Humanists, Trade Unionists, Young, Old, Middle Aged, Rich, Poor, as well as canines too. There was a party atmosphere. One of the speakers, Kenny Kahn, provided refreshments.

We were there with a coherent message: croeso cynnes i bawb!

And somewhere deep within, I am beginning to ask…. why isn’t the Church more like this? I wonder if I am afraid that I already know the answer
