    And most of the rest of the army were French. Damn English can't fight their own wars!

    The British army's always been mainly composed of Paddies and Jocks, with a few taffs wandering around at the rear. Hardly an Englishman to be seen :D

    Even Culloden was basically a fight between a lowland Scots Army made up of mainly Irish recruits and loyal highlanders and an army of highlanders, French and Irish. There were only about half a dozen Englishmen there.

    Wasn't the person who "complained" doing it for a joke? I can understand why the police are investigating it, but nothing will come of it.

    Bit of harmless fun. I'm welsh and i'm not offended.

    Well of course. Why would we fight ourselves, when we can get our far more expendable neighbours to do it for us. :p

    What sort of loser celebrates St. Georges Day anyway?

    It was a bit stupid of her to use a Welsh flag for archery practice! Things like that are always going to cause complaints now, why not just use something else and not have the hassle?

    Exactly... What a dumb thing to do, surely she knows it's going to piss people off. It'll be something else for the patriotic English-hating taffs to get on their high horse about.

    It's not incitement to racial hatred because the Welsh are not a race, but what she did is not right and probably counts as an offence- something like incitement to public disorder, if such thing exists.

    Would anyone have been surprised if a Welshman had spotted that and put a petrol bomb through the window?


    racism in this country cover national differences, labelling all germans as nazis, or all french as pretentious twits is racism non? they were born there, they cant help their nationality and thus poor treatment of someone because of where they are born is prejudicial

    That would be Xenophobia

    Though it is just semantics really as racism seems to be generally regarded to cover xenophobia these days anyhow....
