The shame of the English

[Derrick Hughes]

how long ago was that ?

1965. You would think it was yesterday the anger that's still about

Would it make things better if we sent their Prince back

So how long before forgiveness?
Keeping in mind that most English that are around today were not even born then let alone had a hand in flooding a village
How long before you stop blaming the English
Did you have any influence over what your granddad done years before you were born?
If you want to blame the English could you name the ones that were really to blame ?
Who was in charge, who made the decision?
Cos I for one don't remember having anything to do with it and the fact I wasn't born seemingly means feck all to some

Given I stand on the fence and just coment on what I hear and see

so some are prepared to blame an entire population for the actions of a few of their forefathers, oh well

I was brought up on the racist assumption that the Welsh were beef thieves

And sheep shaggers?

Flooding the village and stealing the water did more damage to English Welsh relations that you could ever know . You will never ever be forgiven

Probably Yorkshire

Independence can’t come soon enough

A Welsh wife and my now passed fil forced to wear the knot.
Surprised about your having little time for history as if we forget it we will be forced to repeat it.

I'm a bit busy to involve myself in any scheme aimed at disadvantaging Wales in all honesty.

yep bring it on

Off topic, and idle curiosity really, but why do you (quite often) refer to people by another name than that under which they are known on the forum? I have not seen anybody refer to you by your given name, you are simply known as the mate of a Czechoslovakian lady.

A few folk who know me in real life (as opposed to this pretend one) call me by my real name, on here. It’s not unusual, I see it all over the forum.
Oh, and I am sure you’re geography/history are adequate to know there has been no Czechoslovakia for many years.
FYI, (in case you don’t know) 1st January 1993.

What puzzles me is the animosity shown by hotheads towards the English in Ireland, Scotland and Wales as they spit blood and fury at what they consider their past and repressive colonial masters, yet at the same time they all want to immerse themselves ever deeper in the great European empire that is demonstrably less democratic and representative than the UK! They need to get their act together and try some of this thinking lark.

Think football rivalries.

That sums it up pretty well, that's as deep as many do think.
