The enduring legacy left by drowned Welsh valley - Wales News - News - WalesOnline
For Plaid councillor Mr Edwards the incident was just one chapter in what he sees as 800 years of English exploitation in Wales.
He said: “I thought the Welsh people would never allow the English to drown our valley, but I didn’t realise that we had no say at all in our own affairs just as we have none now. They just trod over us, and not for the first time. It’s been going on for 800 years.”
And this man is Chairman of the Snowdonia National Park Planning Committee, using a piece of English legislation which was meant to create a playground for... er... the English. Now he uses the planning powers to 'drown' villages in decay and decline.
