Context
The End of Britishness is the theme of an Address by Plaid Cymru President Mr. Gwynfor Evans to a Rally held in Port Talbot on Saturday, 4 October 1980 to launch the party’s campaign against unemployment.
Who defends Wales? Nobody can sincerely claim that she is defended by the British Conservative or the British Labour Party. On the contrary. One party has been built for that purpose. In all Welsh history Plaid Cymru has been the only independent Welsh political party. It fights day in day out for Wales, that is the purpose of its existence, and it strives for justice and freedom. It is the only hope of Wales. If it should fail, then this ancient nation has no national future.
