'T*ffy Was A Welshman'

I tried to make a tiktok friendly version of this video a few months back and it was instantly taken down.. are we surprised? Anyway here's as much of the history as i think is necessary to explain this particular slur. Feel free to fall down the rabbit hole, but be warned most accounts of events are from Saeson because history is written by the victors.

Probably ๐Ÿคฃ I think they tried again at the beginning of this year, but i doubt it'll happen til we're free of the union

ah I see, wasn't sure if you were talking national holiday for the whole UK (which is what my brain went to when it was Blair knocking it back) or only for Cymru. I'm starting to think Australian states might have more autonomy, we can declare our own holidays and things like that..

No, thats what the Assembly/Senedd were trying to get in 2000. our equivalent of valentines and new years arent recognised either

Fascinating and pretty horrifying. Do you have localised/regional public holidays in the UK? As in specifically are you allowed an official day off for St David's Day within Cymru at least?

Dom

Oh I automatically romanticised him as a lovable drunkard who's antics made the locals laugh. Sorry about that.

You're kind of on the right lines there, it is a dig about stupidity

Thank you. I just wondered because the original sounded a bit like a town drunked who fell into a pumpkin patch on the way home.

As far as i can tell no.. let me post a part 2

I was wondering if the original poems " taffy" was based on a real person or maybe a celtic figure almost like a welsh version of the Irish stingy jack.

Yeah go ahead

Can I ask a question about the original 1744 poem. The one where he had his head in a pumpkin and his heels upright

Lmao yeah fair enough

No problems just don't want the scottish whinging at you. You already get enough of that from us english.

Sorry i meant saes labour, my bad

I'm not welsh so in not going to mention the slur subject. But please please please don't call Tony Blair a seas. He's not english He was born in Edinburgh.
