A severe cunting please for the National Museum of Wales which has decided in its wisdom to cancel a replica of Richard Trevithick’s first steam-powered locomotive due to its connection to…. SLAVERY!
Despite the fact that it has NO connection to slavery whatso-fucking-ever!
Trevithick’s locomotive was used in the first steam-powered railway journey that took place at the Penydarren Ironworks in Merthyr Tydfil, in Wales in 1804. Inconveniently, its Cornish inventor had no personal links to slavery, but was a racist cos he was white and his invention has never benefited anyone who isn’t white cos no person of colour has ever been known to travel on a train ever*.
But through a clever sleight of hand the museum has determined that links between steam train technology and the slave trade might exist, ergo the invention is “rooted in colonialism and racism”.
* Except when shovelling coal in its boiler.
The museum pledges to: “identify collections linked to colonial aggression and the transatlantic slave trade. This will form part of our wider decolonising work.”

Yep, as hot as it’ll go

Slavery?
10 year old white kids down Welsh mines – leave the dead underground, no need to waste money recovering the bodies of child miners.
Any of the Islington set cwwying over them?
Thought not.
When I become Great Overlord I will be strongly minded to subjugate the inferior Nations with machine gun fire – Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Charlotte Church, Joe Calzaghe and the Welsh rugby team will have exemptions – not looking good for the rest of the fuckers though 😀👍
Where the fuck are the 95% of the decent majority – and why are they not calling wicked nonsense like this out?
Oh, nearly forgot – everyone who disagrees with the loony left and their fascism and racism is apparently a “fascist and a waaycist”..

We’re used to some cunt trying to erase our history in Wales, it’s a shame some of us seem to go along with it.
Trying to erase the language with thankfully little success, moaning about the bilingual signs written in Welsh in Wales, while road signs in England are in a multitude of languages. A recent visit to Slough felt like I had strayed onto the set of an Eastern European crime drama, complete with sign and shopfronts.
Ooh, the fucking irony!

What a massive surprise – turns out that (yet again) the English taxpayer funds this crock of fucking shite.
I wonder if the National Museum of Wales would be so keen to promote this racist bollocks if a Prime Minister WITH a pair threatened to remove their funding?
As with so many things these days, they fucking hate us but love our free money.

“Trade and colonial exploitation were embedded in Wales’ economy and society and were fundamental to Wales’ development as an industrialised nation.”
Follow that logic through then to the end, and you up cancelling Wales.
Idiots.

I wonder when they’re going to take the Dutch to task over their colonialism.
Or the Turks for the Ottoman empire – lots of slavery going on there. Particularly female slaves for sexual activities.
Or the French for some of the things they did in Algeria back in the 50s and 60s.
Some of the things they did were pretty fucked up.
I won’t hold my breath.

I would highly recommend their peer reviewed and holistically curated (with surtitles in Welsh yakky dah) exhibition “Trans Sheep Shagging in Welsh Rugby”.
