This is bowing to a minority of the people, what about the Welsh people it should be about their history.

[marcusbradley]

It beggars belief why they would support domestic terrorists....

[richjones]

We weren't asked....Referendum on Immigration, now!

[d.beaumont]

They say museum visitors are down, this should seal the deal.

[saltysoldier]

The museum is probably flying a blue and yellow flag as they show this exhibit of the red fist lmao

[sumary]

Disgusted by this shocking display. Do Welsh people accept this crap?

[Mr_G_in_Alba]

It would only have been appropriate if the letter “B” stood for “Blokes”……… surely that march and protest isn’t far away.

[petewadsworth]

Yeah but look is In charge of Wales.

[tracybell]

Welsh People should be up in arms about this.

[anlerden]

I do not love blm so much too Dear Nigel I love White lives Matter.

[seandelap]

Can you reintroduce wokewatch to this channel.

[biddlelove]

I wonder what knife crime would be like without the Windrush generation, who incidentally were never invited!

[gypojohn]

The "Welsh not" system would be fine (and I am English), because it is the true history of the way the English imposed the English language on the Welsh. BLM has absolutely nothing to do with Wales, or England or Britain at all. The people of Wales should force this nonsense to be removed along with all the staff of the museum and then bring in people who speak the Welsh language and promote true Welsh history, such as slate mining and many other things.

[Nemetona]

Crazy! Fed up with it all. Wish the people of UK had somewhere better to go

[stephenowen]

None of Nigel Farage's business what is in the National Museum of Wales

[jack_timber]

What a news worthy, it's not really, by the Flying Farage. Did he mention the RNLI?

[SaltySeaQueen-nnwm]

Well, Wales does have a Labour Govt in power, so you can't expect anything else..🙄🙄🙄

[Andrew-rcvh]

Good call that - Well done Farage!

By the way, Wikipedia has an interesting article called 'Raised Fist' and I quote here from the history of it. You will observe the roots of it were indeed American.

"The origin of the raised fist as either a symbol or gesture is unclear. Its use in trade unionism, anarchism, and the labor movement had begun by the 1910s. William "Big Bill" Haywood, a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World, used the metaphor of a fist as something greater than the sum of its parts during a speech at the 1913 Paterson silk strike.[2] Journalist and socialist activist John Reed described hearing a similar description from a participant in the strike.[3] A large raised fist rising from a crowd of striking workers was used to promote a mass strike in Budapest in 1912.[4] In the United States, clenched fist was described by the magazine Mother Earth as "symbolical of the social revolution" in 1914.[5]

The use of the fist as a salute by communists and antifascists is first evidenced in 1924, when it was adopted for the Communist Party of Germany's Roter Frontkämpferbund ("Alliance of Red Front-Fighters"). In reaction, the Nazi Party adopted the well-known Roman salute two years later.[6] The gesture of the raised fist was apparently known in the United States as well, and is seen in a photograph from a May Day march in New York City in 1936.[7] It is perhaps best known in this era from its use during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939, as a greeting by the Republican faction, and known as the "Popular Front salute" or the "anti-fascist salute".[8] "
