English flag 'can provoke racism' in Wales!

[ddraig]

I wonder how the English would react if, in a hypothetical scenario, a bunch of Germans started driving around England flying German banners from their cars. I'd be interested to know how long the banners, or indeed the cars or their owners would remain unscathed. Under the circumstances I'd say that the Welsh are being models of restraint. As always, I would add.

fuckin right n all! there'd be front pages and snarling all over the shop!

the engurlisch in portugal were bad enough when they lost, coming out the pub to throw stuff at passing portugese cars, in portugal (whilst crying as well )
fucking hillarious it was but i had to stifle most of my laughter as the mob were turning

Witness the random foreigner attacks in Euro 96

But Wales aren't in the competition hence haven't been knocked out, hence have no reason to get narky.

Just heard on R1 teachers in Scotland are being told to exclude kids if they make ant-English comments over than banter. !!!

Nothing like the World Cup to bring nations together

Oh indeed all those Turks down Green Lanes in the last world cup..parading around flying TURKISH flags.. I'd have fucking lumped 'em I would have..if I hadn't been scared. oh yes.

You Idaho will go on the list .

What's your name?

One of the England squad was commenting on the warm welcome they'd received in Germany, saying that the locals near their training camp had lots of England flags draped on their houses, adding that such a thing would be unlikely to happen in England.

We were cheated.

I haven't worked out how yet, but it must be something to do with the English.

I think that is unfair. If England hosted the world cup I think that visiting teams might well get a nice welcome. Provided they didn't knock us out of course.

RubberB - what list

I agree. I'm frankly staggered the English football squad are even bothering with the footie.. why don't they just get out and beat up afew local Gerry's..

I think the Union Flag has more to do with racism than the English flag.

To see the Union flag flying in Wales should provoke more of an outrage than the other one. The problem is we have just learn't to accept it. In reality we should never accept the Union flying in Wales because of the obvious.

If we go into an Italian restaurant do we cry racist if we see an Italian flag up on the wall? The St Georges Flag is nothing to do with me or Wales and its not on every flag pole next to ours whereas the union is.

Wales have been asking for a change in the union flag for years and I consider the reason we are still not on it as racist.

Should we not be calling for either Wales to be on the union flag or not and if the latter then stop bloody flying it in our country rather than concentrating all our energy into a flag that is only going to be waved about for a few weeks?

the only way to end all this animosity would be for wales to join the england squad. giggsy and bellamy might make the bench, then you wouldn't feel so envious about your much better at football local rivals being at the world cup, and you'd never get rinsed at home by us ever again

everybody's happy

yeah but i doubt very much if the little engerlunders would stretch to putting another teams flag up, un;ess it was the US of course

I'll support England the day Geordies support Cheslea.

hahahaaha! that ol jealous and confused attitude.
get this, IT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! giggs has said so enough times, get over it

 

[RaverDrew]

Let me think, if some cunt put a welsh flag up round here, would I be offended by it ?

Nah I think I'd just piss myself laughing.

You taffys are all too uptight.

 

[munkeeunit]

If someone put a welsh flag up round here (Bristol) and some english prick started laughing at it, I'd stand nearby and start laughing at the english prick laughing at the welsh flag.

Don't take away their justifications of bitterness- it's all some of the little poppits have to cling onto

I'd be laughing so much I would forget what I was laughing about. Probably at how all the Bristol-folk are weird inbred welshies themselves.

 

[llantwit]

I am? Cool. I am happy to be an imperial aggressor if I get all the free booty associated with it. What stuff have you got that I can steal? Is your missus a looker?

Nah - she's a minger. So's my sister. You can have her if you like.

 

[munkeeunit]

Before the Welsh get too dug into the rejection of Britishness, lets not forget that the crimes carried out by the British were carried out by the Welsh too, under that shared banner.

Welsh hands are dripping in the blood of empire too.

Irish tend to let the Welsh off that unsettling fact, but do not forget it either.

Weird inbred celts, which also happen to be welsh, thank you very much.

Like I keep saying - we don't need a reason.

If I were to be in Bristol on that day, and saw that someone had put up a Welsh flag and then I saw a English prick laughing at it and then I saw you laughing at that english prick, I would stand there and also laugh at that english pricks.

 

[editor]

Well, complain to the England player that said it.

It was on the BBC news, so hey! don't shoot the messenger etc etc.

You cunts always send us in first

Besides you'd be fucking French ( if you aren't already ) if it wasn't for our archers !

Idaho - my list is as follows

People I'd be happy for if England does well -
KBT
Bomber
Onket
Haylz
Munkerjeenut

People I'd be happy for if Engalnd come home before their postcards-
ANyone giving the big one
ANyone who doesn't support England because they'r e afraid to be associated with a bit of innocent patriotism.

 

[editor]

Feel free to back up actual evidence of me being an "English hater" or kindly shut the fuck up.

For the record, I'll be cheering England on for most of their games - but I don't want them to win because I'm already fed up seeing endless chast-beating repeats of 19 fucking 66.

I wish that fucking endlessly played clip was all over.

 

[LilMissHissyFit]

My son has a brazil T shirt and an italian one, has no intention of wearing an england one though ( his choice) He doesnt like white in case he gets his chocolate down it and it stains
but he'll be supporting england and I personally dont care what he does

Oh to be 7 again Life would be simple
