Thanks Katie,
I am at the Welsh Settlement in Argentina. Where I will be safer, seeing as
every member in my family which challenged the official narrative here are
dead. Any assistance appreciated. I believe my disabled widow nan inherited
the fee simple absolute (and Manorial) title from the Marquess of Bute, a
deal family before us made with Daniel Thomas and the Marquess of Bute. I
believe Marconi staying with us while inventing the radio or boxer
'Peerless' Jim Driscoll fighting his first boxing match at our barns, or
when we did a tree planting ceremony (customary when obtaining land) with
the whole town there to witness and photo evidence in the nations
collection of wales, it was because we'd become the absolute and manorial
title holders. My nan maintained this position in all court proceedings and
in the local press. Like a 1978 interview and article which was suppressed.
I also noticed ITV quietly declassified covering this 1988 story. Much like
little to no evidence of the 1974 news coverage exists (which the courts
document as having occured, wherby the public and press sided with my nan).
And more suppressed evidence exists which I am trying to get declassified
too. It appears her title was stolen and ended up in the hands of Western
Ground Rents and later BP who bought it from them. Who then tried and
failed to get my widow pensioner nan to play the role of her tenant and pay
them. Failing this they appear to have replaced us and the 800 year old
farmhouse they demolished, with 23 houses and people who would pay their
amortizations and virtual/ lifetime freeholds. I am simply trying to put
together this story which is evidently supressed and fragmented and has
gaps. This is not just for my family , but the injustice to us indigenous
and our history and herritage by the British State and BP is horrific. We
appear to have been erazed of the face of the planet, but we're not . We're
still here Yma o Hyd and we seek answers. So if you could kindly do
everything in your power to assist, so that this matter is put to rest I'd
appreciate. Regards, Sion
