Are the Welsh racist towards the English?

Could your nose get any browner?

Man lost FIVE INCHES of his skull after horrific racist attack by Welsh thugs - because he was English
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

A visitor to Wales was beaten so badly that he had to have part of his skull removed - and he believes he was the victim of an 'anti-English' attack.
Paul Meehan, 27, has released horrific pictures which reveal how a huge five-inch section of his skull was removed following the assault which left him fighting for his life in hospital.
Doctors had to perform extensive surgery to release the pressure on his swollen brain and then wrote 'no bone' on the tape around his head.

Electrician Paul, from London, was enjoying a night out on October 28 with his family in the Welsh capital Cardiff when he was attacked.
He claims six thugs heard him speaking with an English accent and launched a brutal assault, punching and kicking him in the head before they left him lying in the street.



Paul grew up in Cardiff and had a slight Welsh accent when he was younger.
But he moved to Birmingham in his late teens where he picked up the region's accent which his attackers heard.
Paul was assaulted at a taxi rank after a night out with his fiance Laura Landeg, 22, and relatives in the Welsh capital.
He said: 'It was an unprovoked attack - they heard my accent, it was nothing more than that.
'I've always had a good time in Cardiff but I've been out before when this sort of thing has happened to other people.
'It could have turned into a murder case quite easily which is scary to think about.'

Thugs slash horse's face in 'anti-English attack' in Wales
A foal's face was slashed and anti-English graffiti daubed across a barn by thugs who failed to realise their targets were actually Welsh.
The seven-month-old pony, called Hope, was left with a four-inch wound to her nose after vandals attacked her in a field in the west Wales countryside.
They also sprayed graffiti written in Welsh slang, meaning "English out", across the barn door after mistaking Alison, 36, and David Hayes, 43, for an English couple.

The couple were both born and bred in Wales and decided to move to the countryside from Cardiff a year ago.
They set up home in Cilgerran, near Cardigan, five months ago and bought eight acres of land intending to start their own riding school.
Mrs Hayes said: "This is a Welsh-speaking area and they might have mistaken our Cardiff accents for English, that is all I can think.
“This was an incredibly cruel thing to do. Hope is a beautiful, friendly animal and she was slashed across the face and mouth.
“The motivation of these people was ridiculous and to take it out on an innocent horse was wicked.
"Hope loved being around people but now I can't get near her. She is terrified."
She added: “Everyone around here seemed to be so sweet. No-one had a bad word to say to us. But, obviously, not everyone has a welcome for us.
“The fools who did this didn't even realise we were their fellow countrymen.”
Dyfed-Powys Police are investigating the attack.

Family attacked by Welsh yob for ‘being English’


SHOCKED: Paula and Lee Owen were subjected to racist abuse

A BOLTON family who were pelted with stones by a youth because they were English have said they will never return to the Welsh town where the attack took place.

Lee and Paula Owen, who live in Bennetts Lane, Halliwell, were on the sixth day of a holiday to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary when they were subjected to racist abuse from a teenage hoodie.

The 16-year-old youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, threw rocks and stones at the family as they waited for a train in the small town of Blaenau Ffestiniog.

One rock hit Mrs Owen on her arm and narrowly missed the couple’s daughter, Katie, aged two.

Mr Owen, who is part-Welsh, and his son, Charlie, aged 14, chased the youth and even tried to take a picture of him with a mobile phone. However, the teenager covered his face with the hooded jacket he was wearing.

Mrs Owen, aged 37, said: “I was shocked and horrified. I now know how ethnic minorities feel when they are subjected to racial abuse.

“I was in fear for my daughter because the rock missed her by inches. I was also worried about my husband and son because they chased after him. Anything could have happened.”

Mrs Owen, who works at the DRL call centre in Bolton, was taken to hospital in Bangor for x-rays after the attack and treated for a badly bruised arm.

She wore a sling for two days and the family cut short their holiday to return to Bolton.

She added: “I actually thought the boy had taken something but I was told that his behaviour was normal.

“It was an anniversary I will never forget but for all the wrong reasons. It has made me quite wary of hoodies. If that was my son behaving that way, I would be mortified. It is bad enough when you get a phone call from school, saying he hasn’t done his homework.”

How could anyone do that? It's bad enough targeting people, but animals? Some kind of evil. There are people like that everywhere though.

I've personally never experienced racism in Wales, nor witnessed it in England against the Welsh, beyond friendly teasing. I guess it must happen though.

My girlfriend always says that English people are really racist against Welsh ....they are considered peasants

Is that really racist? I consider people from other parts of Finland as peasants too.
