Re: “English racists move to Wales”
 

I would agree with that statement when I was younger. In the past 5 years I have been going up there about once a month (including during bad weather) on my motorbike with a work mate, he is English and would agree that we have never encountered the problem.

I can only recall once in the Indian restaurant we regularly visit when we had a guy going on a bit promoting the Welsh language. I think they have come to realise they have very little income apart from tourism, so they don't bite the hand that feeds them these days.

There is however a level of hatred for the English amongst the extreme element of the Plaid Cymru party and its supporters who want devolution. I think these people have not yet realised Wales would be bankrupt without the handouts from those they so despise.

We can blame Welsh Labour for the social engineering!

I do know of a family (not Welsh) that moved out of Cardiff because they were being surrounded by foreigners, they had moved from Bradford to Cardiff for the same reason.

I'm pretty sure the majority of people who believe the idea we are mostly anti-English will be from people who have never spent more than an hour here but watch plenty of tv.

You should see the residents.

Re: “English racists move to Wales”
 

I think it just goes to prove that Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru have some hateful people in their party.

I see it here on a local fb page, the Labour, Plaid and lately Green supporters are extremely racist towards the English. They are the ones that would vote for Welsh independence and cut all ties with England whilst knowing it would be financial suicide. These sort of people want to ruin Wales just so they can have their way.

Let them, Scots too, I bet they won't like it when it's happened though.

Re: “English racists move to Wales”
 

The reality though is it's not the majority of Wales that feel this way, it's the small percentage of old school nationalists.

I'm Welsh, and there is no way I would vote for independence because it would mean handing over power to Welsh Labour and most likely Plaid Cymru to run the place into the ground. In 1997 only half the electorate turned out for the devolution vote and they voted in favour by a fraction of a percent, I would hope that people would vote using common sense and not because they hate the English.
