“English racists move to Wales”
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...s-away-5479068
Although 15 years ago this doesn’t shock me, I’ve heard similar many times in the past. Strangely enough stemming from the mid-Wales area.

Re: “English racists move to Wales”
Not sure how to prove it really. Does the census distinguish by home nation? Even then the numbers are probably small enough not to make a statistically significant impression. Interesting to think there is a British equivalent of the type of NWO conspiracy theorist that goes to live off grid in Idaho.

I think he’s being a bit hopeful with that claim.

Re: “English racists move to Wales”
If they are moving in, they will just add to the number of home-grown racists that are more anti English than against anyone "of colour". Especially if they don't speak Welsh.

I don't know anyone who is anti-English.

Now that's spot on, especially in the north.

Bit much to expect them to speak Welsh though.

Social engineering has been in progress in Wales for many years, and it is moving forward with more fervour than ever before.
Forcing all children to study the Welsh language is now being replaced with forcing children to study only in Welsh.
School after school are being closed as English Medium and reopened (with a new Welsh language name of course) as Welsh Medium. Because of "demand". A demand I have never heard of outside the offices of certain politicians.

People in North Wales tend to be unfriendly towards anyone not speaking Welsh, even fellow taffs. Or perhaps especially fellow taffs.

Having lived in Ceredigion, I most certainly do. Or, at least, did. The pubs you could and couldn't go in as an English person were well known to all.

Depends how far north you go. Around Flintshire, where I worked for 3 years, a lot of people commute in and out of Chester and don't give any thought to the border at all, except when they get cruddy treatment from the Welsh NHS while their colleagues over the border do rather better out of Cheshire hospitals.

Surprised that attitude isn't challenged more. Although I guess we should never be surprised at the lengths people will go to to find a way to divide themselves.

Having lived nowhere near there I still don't know anyone anti-English, certainly no worse than general anti-Welsh sentiment in some English people.
The South is much more tolerant.

We don't challenge it as we simply don't care. The North Welsh are welcome to their little bit of the world.

I had friends that lived in Mold. One time some of us went to meet them but we were early so we went in the nearest pub which has some Welsh name.
We were in there hours had a great time. When our friends turned up they said is was a nationalists pub and they had never been there.

Re: “English racists move to Wales”
I would have thought they would moved back to England if Nigel wins a few seats.
Bring back Ivor the Engine I say.
Yuki Da!
