Thousands join latest march for independence in Barry

Our young believe in independence - they are the future. To deliver that independence for them everyone must work together now. Delivering the message, to the population of Cymru, that shows how it can be achieved.

I don't remember Leanne ever mentioning the "I" word when she was leader.

Have you ever thought why the older generation like myself as i am 75 think that independence is a bad thing because they believe like we are children are kept by england do you not think if it was so England would ditch us i believe its the other way around england gains from us we keep them they listen and read the propaganda from the english media and believe it the younger generation do not believe that clap trap and it will happen freedom from england

Really? You're stuck in the dark ages talking about coal. Today's world is all about technology and knowledge. Cymru is a net exporter of green energy for example.

Need to expand your view, Wales could be a leading European power house in green energy. Wales’ future isn’t about the industries of the past.

....and how how are we managing as part of the United Kingdom with its London centric economy? On the other hand, look at Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

Ah, yes, of course, we'll always have the gullible ones who've been brainwashed into believing we can't support ourselves without England to prop us up. If that was really true, they'd have got rid of us a long time ago!!

I'll be 80 this coming summer - assuming that I live so long! - but, apparently unlike quite a lot of old folk here in Wales, these days I now think independence might perhaps be worth a try. That's rather at variance with my view a while back. But ever since the global financial crash back in 2008 it seems to me that the UK as an entity has been going down the pan. And opting for Brexit in 2016 has manifestly made that situation worse. I suspect that if Wales were to manage to take the independence road, the early days might be quite hard going - just as newly independent Ireland had a rough time economically in its early days. But in the last thirty years Ireland's finally really prospered. As things stand, I can't really see the UK dragging itself out of seemingly perpetual austerity. So maybe the time's come for us here to look at things differently.

How does every nation that has left the British Empire survive? Ireland, Malta, Cyprus etc. The UK is an uneqal union.

Indeed its a scientific fact that the welsh are the only people in the entire history of humankind who are unable to run their own affairs.

I think the statistics that show some older people in Wales aren’t supporters of Independence reflect the volume of this demographic who have moved here to retire.. and these are the ones who will vote reform !

Bet ARTD is in the bushes grumbling away shaking his fist.

Like every empire, this one is just past its use by date and is coming to a natural end. I think Brexit has shown how unsuitable the "union" is and thankfully the farage supporters inadvertently drove the last nail into the UK's coffin. I do find it worrying that people are turning to reform,when it was essentially dodgy Nige and his band of wronguns that have helped cause the very issues that have caused the start of the end.

Still a very small minority actually want an independent Wales
