Upwards of 2,000 turned up for the first march in support of independence. Not a bad start. Was great to see so many welsh and owain glyndwr flags in our capital. |  |

Not bad. That's nearly 0.06% of the population. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Considering it's the first ever march it's not a bad start. The first ever scottish march had 300 and last week there was over 100,000 in Glasgow. The ball is rolling. | |

It’s inevitable eventually. It’s a couple of generations away yet though. |  |

I'd say if it happens it's more than a couple of generations away.
A quick look at the WAG indicate the calibre of politician that would run Wales. | | | |

It's amazing how many remainers want independence..
It's almost like they can't see the irony. | | | |

More like a couple of centuries away. I would say
If you can only get 1000-2000 on a March for independence
Where do you think the other 99.94% were
Laughing their socks off at you lot | | | |

A number of assumptions there
I’m neither for nor against welsh independence.
I wasn’t at the march today for that reason.
I’m not a nationalist of any kind.
Happy to help. | |

They said that about the scots a few years back now look at then almost half the population support leaving the union. This was our first march obviously takes time. On a genuine note why so anti welsh? Surely any sane and proud welshman/ women would want what's best for Wales? Being part of a biased union is not. Independence is. | |

I was there, and I really was knocked for six when I saw how many people had turned out. Think the expected number was around 3-400 but it was pushing 3000 easy, with a couple of people that I saw joining in when walking through Queen Street.
I too, used to scoff at anyone who brought up the subject about Welsh Independence, and was told to just research a couple of things, so if you're curious, look no further than here: https://www.yes.cymru/independence
Westminster does not work for us, we are not in their interests. And with the natural resources we can produce, it is a viable platform to get people talking about governing ourselves and bringing our talented people home to work in Wales, and not being the poorest country in Europe when we have one of the richest capitals 150 miles away. |  | | |

What would be best would be elected politicians actually doing their best for their own electorate, not as it stands now which is their best for the people of Cardiff.
I say get rid of the WAG. The Labour/Plaid Cymru alliance is heavily complicit in the falling standards of education in Wales and the Welsh NHS. relative to the year on year figures in England.
Only 25% of the Welsh electorate voted for devolution in the first place. It really should never have been implemented with such meagre support. | | | |

It was the will of the people.
And as we all know, that cannot ever change.
What dont you understand about wales wanting an Assembly ? Just got it done.
Wales was taking back control. Law makers, not law takers.
Now where have i heard that before.
2500 to 3500 marched today. Twitter says and it looked big.
So here is the choice...
Stay in an unequal union where, like in Brexit, the elected welsh and scottish governments are totally ignored.
Or in a modern European union with nations treated equally, just look at Irelands role in Brexit. Full on front and centre.
Its not a hard choice.
Wales is about ready to take its place amongst the nations of the world. [Post edited 11 May 2019 22:12]

Three things.
1. Plaid have never been in power so I cant see sense in your point that they are complicit.
2. I think you'll find that in recent polls if you combine those wanting independence with those that are happy with devolution it takes it way passed the 50% mark so your wrong again welsh people are heavily in favour of devolution. The only ones that want to abolish the assembly are the english/ brit nats in UKIP.
3. With the crumbs that we are giving and the little powers that we do have I'm surprised we are doing as well as we are.
We are abundant with resources but are forced to give our assets away for peanuts to them across the border. Independence is the only way Wales will achieve it's full potential. Tidal lagoon, wilfa newydd to name a few. Cymru rydd | |

Moving to independence from being part of the U.K. Would be like moving to the Welsh League from the English football pyramid.
We would become pointless, parochial, and lacking a semi-authoritative voice in the world.
The antics of WAG and Swansea Council really leave me wondering what would happen if we tried to govern ourselves. I could see the whole country going the same way as the Kingsway, and money being thrown away on worm farms and the like.
Please, no. |  |

Rubbish.
Unless you are saying welsh people are somehow uniquely unable to govern themselves...?
Its more like leaving behind blackburn, rochdale, and grimsby - and getting to play with Juve, Barca, Real, Benfica, Bayern, and PSG.

Of course any sane woman/man would want the best for Wales
That’s why an independent Wales would be a disaster
Just look at education as just one simple example
The worst performing country in the whole of the U.K.
If you haven’t a good educated working population
You don’t attract the industries that’s needed to make a successful country | | | |

It looked to me like a few hundred people at most. Certainly more flags than people.
The vast majority of the marchers probably from North Wales. In fairness, if we in South Wales could through a ballot, separate ourselves politically, and permanently from North Wales, I think we'd get a good turn out. | | | |

You really are kidding yourself.
2500 to 3500. First time up. Great support from all sections of welsh life.
Bury your head in the sand if you want, but something is happening in wales.

Recently visited Slovenia.
A small country, with beautiful scenery, an abundance of fresh water, traditionally strong agriculture sector, all the women were gorgeous.
They seemed to be doing very well for themselves and are very happy as an independent sovereign nation within the EU. |  |
