Anti- English

[Bordoy]

Has anyone else English living in the Celtic countries (for the uninitiated, Wales, Scotland and Ireland) noticed an intense hatrid of the English and racism that would never be tolerated were it against any other group?

For instance, in South Wales, where no-one speaks Welsh, lots of jobs stipulate that you must be able to speak Welsh. This seems a way of keeping the English out of jobs.

The Welsh language lobby there are sadly pretty damn rampant and have a lot of power within governmental institutions and the likes of the WDA. This movement and the Nationalists like Plaid Cymru are just a bunch of racist bigoted idiots, and it is appalling.

It is also one-wat enforced.

We English dont like the Welsh anyway, most English people wouldn't bother trying to get a job there in the first place. But if we said anything like that about the Welsh or something they'd complain and call us racist b*******. Go figure!

Yes. If we Americans get to complain about our problems, then other people should be able to complain about their problems .

If people can discuss this in a civil way, I don't see anything wrong with it.

If it gets ugly, the thread will get closed and punishments handed out.

Hah, replace Welsh with Swedish and Urdu with Somali and Arabic and you could have a typical Finnish equivalent discussion.

As a non-English/Welsh, not living in the Celtic countries I really cannot say that I've noticed anything of the sort.

You mean like to get a job in London, you have to speak English and not Swahili?
