Petition text:
We the undersigned call on the National
Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to scrap the proposed plans of
building an Iron Ring outside of Flint Castle as we are well aware of the
historical significance of Edward I and his so called Iron Ring as a use to
subjugate and oppress our people.
We find this extremely disrespectful to the
people of Wales and our ancestors who have battled oppression, subjugation and
injustice for hundreds of years.
We ask that you please rethink the decision to
build this monument and use the money elsewhere.
