Why the independent Welsh state? We recently sat down with the Plaid Party’s Aerona Nefis, MP of Foreign Affairs. “Simply the rest of the United Kingdom does not get it. They walk around in their tweeds, houndstooths, corduroys and even denim. Did they learn nothing from the Brawny Man Fiasco?” she said with a tone of utter disgust. “For decades we have been doing a lot out outreach to schools to make connections with today’s youth. It is paying off too, in recent years we have seen a lot of growth within the party and our independence movement. Like we always say ‘Dal ati!, Daliwch ati!’ (Keep at it!, Don’t give up!)”

Plaid’s plans don’t end at independence, Aerona went on to say “once we have obtained independence we have even bigger plans for Cymru (Wales). We want Cymru to appear plaid when it is viewed from space or on Google Maps. We have teams of architects and developers devising plans to give our country sides and cities the appearance for plaid. We are going to have to reshape The River Taff but if will definitely be worth it. Everyone uses Google Maps which is why it is so important our statement of plaid is visible from the website.”

Aerona Nefis also told us of her plans to make Plaid Week a national holiday. All of their plans make sense to us. Our only unanswered question is why is their logo not plaid?
