While I find the headline and framing of this story a little distasteful, I do think it summarises the ongoing issues in Llanelli quite well. I especially appreciate the following paragraph near the end:
So much has been taken from this region over the decades – the anthracite coal, the tin and steel – but at least then local people got paid something for their troubles. This time, too, everyone wants to get their cut from Llanelli: the hotel owners, the outsourcing firm, the Home Office. Then there are the touring nationalists, popping over the border to pretend they care about Wales, while in Silicon Valley the social media firms whip up any tensions with their algorithims.

Guess Who Won an Award?
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shakespeare In The Ruins (@sir_winnipeg) Michele Boulet, Sarah Constible and Lisa Nelson-Fries accepting the award for best film feature. My first time with Shakespeare in the Ruins was five years ago, doing an all female version of Timon of Athens. Macbeth on film was my second experience with them, and it was delightful. Looking forward to another…

This horror story visited on South Wales by Suella Braverman could be coming to a street near you
“What began as complaints about the loss of a four-star hotel and 100 jobs is now a swamp of conspiracies about invaders and foreign rapists. A leaflet recently given out around the town asks: ‘Is it racist to protect your home from unknown unvetted illegals?’ Last week, some of the people at the camp stormed the hotel. One leader of the original protest, Robert Lloyd, is now hounded outside his home for not being hardline enough. He says that friends whose weddings he attended now threaten him, and the night before we met last week, the police were doing hourly patrols outside his house.
“Every jobbing demagogue is now making a beeline for South Wales. Katy Hopkins and Richard Tice have done selfie stops, while GB News and TalkTV have piled in. And this weekend, sad-sack fascist Anne Marie Waters addressed a capacity crowd, following on from the fascist organisation Patriotic Alternative, which has papered the town with its hate literature. At Hope Not Hate, Rosie Carter has spent years monitoring extremist organisations, but what she sees in Llanelli troubles her: ‘It’s far-right radicalisation in real time.’
“A couple of hundred miles away in Westminster, ‘culture wars’ is just another electoral sport, to be indulged for a couple of points in the polls or a mention in the papers. But in South Wales or Dunstable or Knowsley, you see what’s really at stake, where the mainstream and extremist right effectively collaborate in poisoning the very soil of a place so that supposedly subterranean prejudice voiced after last orders has become chest-out, finger-jabbing racism.
“The Labour Party in Llanelli, as elsewhere, has not reacted honourably. The most outspoken opponent of this bigotry has been the local Senedd Cymru member, Lee Waters. Among the abuse he has received as a result are direct threats to him and his family. Despite that, one county councillor turned up at the camp, posing in a camouflage jacket alongside a placard reading Welsh Lives Matter. No action has yet been taken against him, for all Labour’s protests of being an anti-racist party. Other Labour Party representatives have been rather circumspect, perhaps out of a sense that their electoral base mustn’t have any prejudices challenged. By their silence, they are effectively allowing some of the basest rhetoric to be normalised.”

So the Home Office have withdrawn their plans to house asylum seekers at SPH in Llanelli
And I'm angry. I'm angry because they've made such a fucking mess of the whole situation for as long as it's been going on. Firstly, a lot of people in the local area lost their jobs very suddenly, and in a town like Llanelli, it's not exactly easy to find alternative employment.
And then, of course, the situation drew in far-right agitators looking to exploit it to spread their own hateful message from across the UK, and obviously they're going to view this as a win and I have grave concerns about it emboldening them in an area that has a long history of class struggle that these fuckwits don't care about.
They've just made a mess in a town that is struggling and for what? They're not going to do anything to put it right. Was it worth it? Was it worth the job losses & the divided community they've left behind?

Home for me, or least one of the definitions of home, is Llanelli. The largest town in Carmarthenshire and just ten miles from the nearest city, Swansea, it was once a thriving trading port, and later known for its tinplate industry — and churches, of which there are over 40, at least, and many of them in various stages of disintegration. Now, Llanelli is known for having the slowest economic growth of any town in Wales in the past decade and has a bad reputation for organised drug-related crime, and ‘county line’ gangs. Llanelli, like The Valleys and many towns in the Western areas of Wales, are some of the poorest regions in Europe. What the future of Llanelli is, and what that future looks like, is yet to be decided. How do you treat a town with such a serious case of identity crisis?
The concept of a hometown is haunted right through to its construction. How do you begin to exorcise this particular haunting, that of my hometown upon me, when the town is choking on its own ghost? I have wrestled with my guilt; the feeling that I have abandoned my family, my class, my Welshness, to pursue something ‘better’. Better education, better opportunities, a better way of living. Even though I now live in Wales again, in Cardiff, and learning to find love and comfort in my Welshness, I still feel like some sort of traitor, for abandoning Llanelli and the more ‘Welsh’ West, for the Anglicised, wealthier East. Fisher states that, through the lens of Derrida’s theory of hauntology, that nothing enjoys a purely positive existence. All memory is tainted, nostalgia is inherently melancholic. I am grateful for my family home, everything my parents have done for me. I love them and my brother very dearly. But that gratitude and love is tainted by my feelings towards the town I grew up in. The two cannot exist without the other, all I can do is write about it.
