We are British. Welsh by birth but not English. British. Say it out loud. Quislings? Ye Gods... You'd never make the trenches, both you and the upper Neath Valley circus act would be self-certified cry-off conchies before the first shot was even fired, Most others on here I'd stand shoulder to shoulder with and die happily with in defence of my country You and that other hillbilly need to see a psychiatrist. Both of you are dangerously embittered and delusional. Get help - it's never too late. Your posts are utter bo!!ocks by the way and nowhere near fact.
We're all participants in life's rich pageant of course so let's hope the corner shop up there doesn't run out of tinfoil to make lovely hats out of soon.
Oh and by the way, despite sinister uncle Ron Jones recent actions, all of our passports still say we're British.
Au contraire mon petit ami, you speak fluent gibberish and why most posters on here have you on ignore or don't bother to reply to you.
Isn't there some Union Flag burning Plaid event you should be at on a Saturday night, drunk on Mead and dressed as a vengeful Druid instead of wasting your time arguing the toss on here ?
We've waited a long time for positivity and belief like this, the energy and drive we felt in our rise 2007-11 seems to be back...
I know it's only 8 games but take a look at the league table tonight and give this bugger a spin and tell me you don't have a big Jack smile on your chops...
Well exactly - it would be a disaster in the current world climate,
It's pure vanity this I'm more Welsh than thou attitude. Plaid and their champions on here would sink the nation into the abyss driven largely by their hatred of the English.
The problems that the UK faces are better tackled on a unified front than splintering off into sectarian enclaves. Westminster and the Senedd are rotten and need clearing out of incompetent fools that much is true. Scotland has hardly covered itself in glory either - Salmond, Sturgeon, Yousaf....all caught out in scandals.
Another crock of sh/t peddled by those who want to impose mass immigration on us.
The birth rate has always fluctuated but the infant mortality rate has plummeted from 30.78 per 1000 births in 1950 to 3.08 today
The country isn't going to implode because we NEED a load of men from sub-Saharan Africa or Afghanistan sat around on their 'aris smoking fags in HMOs , the exact polar opposite in fact.
You are not right. You are bigoted against the English. You do yourself a disservice with this racism. As I and others have said many times we are the SAME people. We all share common ancestry of being British. I love being Welsh but I feel British. We have interbred for thousands of years. There is no racial purity. It is impossible. It's possible to be 100% UK/British, as indeed I am, almost, but it is not possible to be 100% Welsh, Manx, Cornish Breton etc...Even If you are a direct descendant of Owain Glyndwr your DNA will be mongrel British. Our collective history inhibits it. It won't probably be European, Asian, African or otherwise if you were born before 1970 but the fact remains we are by nature of geography and history an island(s) state with common ancestral families. Your fanciful notion that Wales is genetically distinct is ludicrous . Yes there are genetic markers but they are not found in isolation unless an entire family has been interbreeding and living in a cave in Gwynedd for 2000 years (possible when you look at the state of some 12 fingered Gogs but unlikely) Even in rural Ireland I doubt there is anyone with the Celtic Y-chromosome marker and no other influence.
When I was back in South Wales for two months was surprised by the amount of English people in my local - 4 English and one German girl - they all said they moved here because of how friendly people were .....so yes I'd assume it's mostly N Wales that gets this reputation although people in Tenby and Saundersfoot have moaned louder about the volume of tourists in recent years....
I did one of those DNA tests a few years back as OHL will testify I've got the lick of the tarbrush about me and was expecting to uncover something exotic but nope 60% Celtic Brythonic(Irish, Welsh Scots) 39.8% Anglo-Saxon. Until the 1970s when immigration started ramping up that ratio in variations 50/50 40/60 60/40 would have been typical for most x-sections of people living on the British mainland because we have been cut off from mainland Europe for millennia and have moved around and interbred in that time. There are only really 5 main Y-DNA Haplogroups for Britain and Ireland and one of them is probably a leftover from Roman times they were only here for a few hundred years but they left a genetic footprint from all corners of their empire. The 0.2% was Middle Eastern and likely a part of this Roman footprint.
Genetics is a fascinating and complex subject and you're right a jigsaw puzzle with distinct genetic markers and then various subgroups. There is a common marker in Wales that is shared with Eire and Scotland but there are also differences between North and South Wales and then you have the Landsker influence of the Normans in the South West.
Because they are parroting Farage's stance on the protests. The Mail senses their readership is moving away from the Tories and towards Reform and they are simply protecting their income.
Yes the sign was changed from an African boy in a turban under Whitbread who also owned the Commercial to a white boy in Victorian clothes - presumably a miner or chimney sweep.
Last time I was there 2 summers ago I think the sign had gone altogether.
