This was a protest recently over at the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn), council offices. I was attending as a videographer/citizen journalist if you like. Purely by chance, I heard about this at the last minute.
The protest was about second homes & holiday homes on anglesey, and in Wales generally. The campaigners were drawing attention to the fact that there aren't enough homes to begin with, and security for young people across Wales (cymru), is dire (jobs/homes), meaning people are forced to leave Wales to find security elsewhere. This dilutes the wonderful Welsh language, which is strong in North Wales, and dilutes Welsh communities.
They were saying that this problem is hugely exacerbated by people buying up housing stock in Wales for second homes and holiday homes. They do have a point.
The protest started at the Anglesey council offices, and proceeded around the town's one-way system before convening back at the council offices.

Thanks for the coverage. I'm glad this protest is taking place, as a chap living in Shropshire with a huge admiration and respect for the Welsh language, I was ultimately unaware of this issue until now. I agree, they do have a very good point and more needs to be done to protect these cultures.

Thanks, I feel the same. I'm a terrible Welsh speaker, (my daughter is fluent), but I adore the language. I also love Wales and I can completely see their point about second homes, and fair housing in general. There's only so much housing here, and a large percentage of it is bought up and hoarded by holiday makers and second home owners. It's not on, really.

What is this protest about?

Hi, it's about Welsh People/People living in Wales, saying that their housing situation is bad, and people cannot afford good local homes, because a lot of them are bought up as holiday homes, or second homes and sit empty most of the year (Wales is a natural beauty, with coastlines, forests, mountains, valleys, national parks etc etc). It makes it difficult to keep communities together (stops people staying in their home country, when they otherwise would have), and weakens the Welsh language (which is beautiful).
