Is there a book available for people who want to visit the UK, on how to avoid jail while having a conversation?

I am so glad that I have cancelled my TV licence. I am free from all of this bollocks :-)
#MeToo mate. It will be 2 years this June for me. Have you had a visit yet from the Licence Police? I've had one, I invited him in to see that I had no connection to a TV aerial and that my TV was hooked up to the PC. To which he asked if I accessed BBC iPlayer? I said no and he replied with okay then, I'll be on my way and I've never seen one since.
....... You're watching it now though.
Well spotted! Although I only watched the first two minutes and ten seconds...which was enough for me :-)
Mr B pre recorded doesn’t count unless it’s via iplayer. If it’s pre recorded and posted on KZhead they have no grounds.
Coming up to one year for me, I only wished that I had done it earlier.
Talk about a disconnect! She talks about preserving her Welsh culture, and then she talks about Islamophobia. She has not clue who is the greater threat to her culture.
Hollywood English people are continually coming to Wales and deposing our people. Twll din pob Saes. Yma o hyd.
"Hate crimes are on the rise!!!!" That tends to happen when you arrest people for posting rap lyrics or a joke on hate crime charges.....
We don't give a shit about Rod Liddles comments, it's called a sense of humour, something in wales we still have by the bucket load. We take the piss out of the English , Scottish, Irish and ourselves. Sometimes we even take the piss out of the people who work in the local shops 😮. When we all used to have a sense of humour life was much more fun.
Humour these days = Hate speech
Always use cash - I'd say thats true for UK as a whole. Piss taking and banter are what we do on these islands and I can't imagine us being any other way (I'm from Yorkshire by the way). Unfortunately some people take it too far, to the point of being arseholes and some lack a sense of humour as yourself and Vampe said, and equate it to hate speech. As for the Rod Liddle thing I'd assume it was a jokey opinion piece aiming to raise a few eyebrows and annoy the very people it did annoy.
always use cash American here with a serious question, what does “take the piss out” mean? I like it but don’t understand the context
DallasPittsburgh it's like winding someone up in a witty and insulting way. People used to do it back to you as well. Insulting banter. It used to be a way of life, good fun, but now most people either a) want to cry or b) punch you in the face. Mainly cry though, people can't take that shit anymore . If you couldn't handle having the piss taken out of you, you used to get it more often and much worse.
ahhh I see now, thank you for explaining this, I would call it "busting balls" here in the states, but I'm going to start saying take the piss out because it just sounds so much better
She keeps saying it has an effect. _Why_ does it have an effect? Are we teaching our children to be so bloody sensitive about anything and everything as to take offence and start crying about it? Or are we teaching our children the old saying of "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." Teasing has gone on within people groups and between people groups for thousands of years. It goes on within families all the time. It's part of natural life. But this is very distinct from bullying, which this woman wants to conflate it with - and that's the issue and the error she's making. The reality is that leftist progressives want to legislate for thought and language because they're so unhappy and insecure within themselves that they want to control everyone else to abide and conform within their sad world.
Yes, this is why they cannot handle differing views and require safe spaces. Sadly, the damage has been done and it is going to take a long time to fix it.
indeed , she keeps bleating about the " effect " ..well tell us what the effect is then you dumb dried up old hag
Strong Exorcist. They are now teaching "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will forever hurt me." To Quote 9. year old, and we like the new's we watch it at school. Yes bbc news they like to dance to the music. That's what you call education?
What's having an effect in Wales is 2.5 million people being denied equal opportunities when applying for jobs, because they don't speak Welsh. What's having an effect in Wales is the teaching hours lost in schools, forcing Welsh down childrens throats. What's having an effect is hundres of millions in funding being diverted to provide life support for a dead language, when Wales is broke. What's going to have an even bigger effect is a mass exodus of young people, being forced to leave Wales for decent careers, because the WAG keep adding more and more legislation to force use of Welsh everywhere.
I dream in welsh, which is a problem because I'm English and I have no idea what's going on in my dreams.
If language is an expression of culture, how come people are being silenced?
DePLORIble that want you to say the good words and not the bad words 0w0
I'm from Wales originally but plaid cymru make me sick absolute clowns.
well said , they are trying to make the welsh people feel they are victims of oppression .its a well used strategy for left wing cretins
wacka2 👍
She came from London - that says it all!
Nothing wrong with the English at all? I'd love it if they built a Trump-style solid wall around England to keep everyone non-English out. Hopefully, when God sees such a wall surrounding England, he may just send enough rain to fill it to a depth around 200 metres!!
Damn!!!!! lol.
Don't know how James of Delingpole kept a straight face through this interview. If the people want to keep something they will and no amount of jokes or piss-take will stop this.
Anglo Saxon Elle I'd like to add if their resolve to keep the language is weak enough that banter and jokes stops it then they obviously didn't really want to keep it in the first place.
Are you half German????
cochun7 are you half chunky???
I am very slim and tall,are you half German???
I am Welsh. During a 6 nations match Wales v England (Wales won btw) there was a lone Englishmen in the pub . It was one of the toughest and roughest pubs in Cardiff . For the second half that guy never bought a drink . It's only the political class that want to divide our United kingdom's and Scotland. I currently live in England and get this piss taken but I just give it back . It's nothing a few beers together can't solve.
well in the netherlands we have a part of the country who speaks frisian. it's states as an official language. the rest of the country mocks that, the frisian have a good laugh about it also and we all go hand in hand further to the next day. thank heavens we don't have women like this here on tv
robert de vries good comment
Frisian is of course the closest relative to English.
@robert de vries: because in the Netherlands, there are hardly any people/women on TV coming from Friesland or Twente (where I used to live). Why are they not on TV (or in serious positions in politics)? Because everybody has to speak the Kings Dutch. Hoog-hollands. And plat NLs or Twents is definitely NOT appreciated.
Our taxes are paid to promote the ridiculous Welsh language, the BBC even devotes channels to it. Signs have to be written in it as well as all NHS, local government and benefit paraphernalia. It sounds awful, if you stand in front of someone speaking it you get covered in phlegm.
@dbvor there's logic for that: there are about 700.000 inhabitants in friesland in a total of 17 million, so the possibility is very small that they will get on tv. same thing with politics, plus the distance between the hague and hilversum/amsterdam from friesland is what makes frisian people don't want to get there. and off course is aint appreciated, when you don't want people on tv who need subtitling to understand them. i personally would need subtitling so i don't ever bother to get on tv. but on the other hand: we have someone daily on tv in the person of piet paulusma and we off course have doutzen kroes, who is world famous :)
"they dream in welsh" 'kin hell... that's a bit grim!
I'm going to try and dream in Scottish! What does that actually mean?
From a Welsh person. I laughed at dreaming in Welsh. How much spit would you wake up in the morning on your pillow. I'm Welsh proud laugh at myself and others.
z z top Me tae!
@@smokeycat6954 Heroin dreams?
@@zztop6460 Enough for you to wake up with a puddle under your face ... Oh, and what is Welsh for 'Hey, ma ... my pillowcase is soaking wet again. Can I please stop having buck rarebit for tea, and just have poached egg and chips instead ...?' ...?
This is the same banter we have always partaken in. We Scots mock you all in the UK just as we, are mocked in kind and it is perfectly fine. I remember a while back that an English woman was upset because she wanted to know from the local shop, the best places to go, in the Highlands, to which I said, _"You are too late, lass, you English have already cleared the Highlands out, there's nothing left to see."_ An obvious joke, right? She threatened to report me to the Police, storming out the shop, asking people as they entered if she could get directions to the nearest Police Station, she didn't as far as I know but that was her intent. Take that in for a moment, she was offended by the fact, I had said the English had already come up and cleared out the Highlands? Not the Scotsman standing before her but her, herself. The world is going insane with social justice lunatics and identity politics.
That English woman sounds like a sjw bitch......if you said that to me.... i'd laugh or come back saying... well someone had to help the scots out and get rid of the ugly women for them.
Punkster Banter isn't and shouldn't be built upon beating children for speaking their own Language. It's not banter, it's bigotry.
Nada Barton WTF are you talking about? Banter isn't anything but banter, it is dialogue, beating is violence, they are not the same thing. The banter isn't based upon beating children, it is based upon ribbing each other for our cultural differences. Frankly, I think you are a fucking idiot if you believe that shite.
This is why James Delingpole isn't on the BBC much, he's too good for them.
Refreshing to listen to someone speaking common sense. Nice one Mr delingdingdongpole
“He runs like a Welshman.” Best Mr Burns quote ever!!!!!
Actually it was a quote by Stewie Griffin in the episode of Family Guy, where at the toy company family picnic, Mr. Weed said he would hunt all the men with tranquilizers darts lol As Peter ran, Stewie made the comment.
I’m going to listen to Mr Delingpole a little more often. Handles SJWs very well.
Ken Thomson his podcast is great.
Odesai1 Thanks. I’ll give that a listen.
english ??
so, Welsh, and Scottish people, are choosing to do something entirely of their own volition, and these 2 blame the English. i feel persecuted.
Bruit sooth Shaw let it be known that Irish are never happy unless they speak ill of each other. But the bloody sjws are going to stop this grant tradition. Ugh....
Bruit sooth Of their own choice!!!, is this what you're really saying?! You're clueless...they used to beat Welsh schoolchildren and have spent almost 300 years ridiculing the language. Typical ignorant statement about the history of what the English have done. Yet, again...replace Welsh with Yiddish and the world would go mental.
Bruit sooth please don't assume all us Jocks are of the same mind as the insane SNP nats: The reason their obsession with independence and vote was lost !! Was because the majority of Scots are both proud Scots as well as proud Brits The extreme Nats are a bunch of fascists
Is that all they’ve got to worry about, Jesus 😱
I didn't think we were allowed our own culture in multiracial, multicultural Britain!
Liz Saville Roberts the plastic taff MP by marriage! Yep I can remember doing a lot of walking in the Brecons, every pub I stopped in stopped speaking English and started talking in Welsh as soon as they knew I was English. My mates a Bridgend lad really broad Welsh accent, trouble is he was born in Kent! Thank goodness I can have some banter with him!
It's a sodding joke
Dubious I really tho hope you’re being sarcastic
It's a sodding joke about the sheep sodomisers.
It's all jokes until someone teaches his girlfriend's pug to do a Nazi salute
The Ball It's still a joke. But for 800 pounds, it's an expensive one. Ricky Gervais had better watch out or just charging people more to see his shows.

When she said "If you tolerate that" I thought she was going to say "then your children will be next". A missed opportunity.
When your going for gold in the oppression Olympics.......
Meanwhile in the real world. Also, on the last point concerning how mocking a culture wears people down and undermines confidence, what about the English culture, that's ridiculed, mocked and maligned, even outright denied relentlessly.
maybe the engish shouldn't be dicks to the neighbours and maybe we can have our cultures and not have them imported...just maybe??
Thanks for illustrating the point Ellis Caparros.
Michael Edwards good point . I ask why is it cool to be Irish Welsh and Scot nationalist, but fkn HELL you can't be English nationalist. By the way they never mention how English are treated in Wales .
Ellis Caparros another leftie picking on the English because we beat them in a battle eons ago. Talk about holding a grudge. Grow up you fool.
Michael Edwards He didn't illustrate a point he just saved you from making one.
The real problem is not what Rod Liddle said but instead that the BBC makes it a topic of discussion. These discussions filter onto everyone else, creating arguments and thus making a non issue become an ACTUAL issue. People need to realise what the BBC and other media channels are doing.
Look around you, at work, down the pub, with 'friends' and you'll see just how fucking boring and petty most people are. That's why gormless clickbait articles work.
Meanwhile in England English is a second language in many schools. No Politician seems to be bothered about that.
What ? What’s the first language?
Naughty,naughty....
Just so pathetic, it is difficult to even be angry with them any more. She keeps saying "it has an effect" and she is correct, it creates an instant and perfect division between normal people and insane people like herself.
Why is an English woman speaking on behalf of the Welsh people? Why are you represented by this crashing bore on the BBC? Didn't we already have this problem of an English person who didn't speak Welsh coming onto the program? Oh well this English woman speaks Welsh, so therefore it's okay that she moralises on behalf of a nation she is foreign to? That makes sense. Where are all the Welsh people? Off doing more important things probably. You should have more wit and intelligence than this. This is what you have to offer, these are your political representatives?
Slight correction why is a MIDDLE CLASS English woman from the south speaking on behalf of the Welsh? These types are always taking offence on behalf of people they don't know. Average Welsh working class are very much like us Northern English working class in my personal experience. The English people who oppressed the Welsh in the past were the same English nobs who oppressed working class English people. That's what those people do ! Plus as my dad told me, the principle of the NHS was founded on health systems already being provided in Wales. We owe the Welsh a lot.
I'm with him, apart from claiming fox hunting is 'charming'. Terrifying a relatively intelligent animal before having it torn apart by dogs isn't really any sort of hobby that should be encouraged. I accept it's traditional, dog fighting is traditional too, many traditional activities have died out over the years. I'm a big fan of combat sports, keep the blood in the cage and bareknuckle boxing, where all parties consent to violence. And no I'm not 'triggered' - I'm all for personal freedoms, just not when they involving torturing other beings.
People who hunt foxes are no better than psychopaths who kill cats and dogs for fun.
I'm a Taff. Born in Splott. I can speak a bit of Welsh. It was compulsory at school to learn. It does sound funny. Sounds like someone clearing their throat most of the time. Even the broad Welsh accent is funny. Rob Brydon made a living with it. I have suffered racial abuse. I wish i had a tenner for every time someone called me 'sheepshagger.' Or made bleeting noises behind my back.' Baa Baaa 'they would say. Or' Taff. It's your round. Hurry up. Don't be sheepish'. 'Oh very funny you Saxon Bastards' I would say. I never ever shagged a sheep in my life. I made love to every one of them.
The vast majority of politicians are on a scale from average to profoundly woeful. This woman is pushing the lower limits of the scale.
It's quite scary how calmly they talk about criminalising humour. But this is what you get when people expect the state to protect their feelings.
sticks and stones........remember that. cymru-am-byth!
She is English, WTF, lol. Prat.
What she doesn’t appreciate is that Welsh people do not see themselves as victims- we have thick skins- we will insult and be insulted by the English as part of an age-old tradition of banter among equals (well nearly) - we do not want to be added to the victim list
As a Non-welsh speaking Welshman I can assure everyone that the Welsh language is thriving in many areas, here in the South East. There are many dedicated schools where only Welsh is spoken. A very affluent area of Cardiff has been, pretty much, monopolised by the welsh speaking continent and they are unbearably confident in their language and community. This victim narrative being played out here is pathetic. If something is strong it does not need the protection of the law. If the language disappears at some point, then so be it. But you can’t legislate for it.
These lunatics are dangerous. And I'm not referring to Liddle and Delingpole.
Dear God - whatever next! How many hours have tax-payers paid for her to drive on like this? I am half Irish, are we going to ban Irish jokes next? Even the Irish call me a 'Plastic Paddy' I don't think I'll be jumping off any bridges soon. Jassus!!
Unlike the BBC to overreact to a "nothing" story. Oh wait.....no it's not!
Women should stay out of these shows and politics in general they have no real argument only I'm offended.
Yep, Their whining arguments are all based on emotion and hysterically perceived injustice..
We live in such sick and mad times. ....so tiresome.
"That's been disproven." The ludicrous response "never the less....(translation-How dare you bring facts into my self absorbed, near sighted monologue!)"
I'm Welsh and I love Rod Liddle. It's great to hear someone say what they really think. I hope he also enjoyed seeing his team getting crushed by Wales Grand Slammers
If my family tree is correct, some of my grandfather's forefathers came from North Wales (yeah, yeah, I am part Gog ... as if I haven't heard that before ...), so England vs Wales is always confusing; my head tells me to support England, but my heart goes with Wales (especially when they are home, playing at Cardiff Arms Park ... What'd you say ...? Millennium Stadium ...? Never heard of it ...) ... [Edit:- didn't you also get the Triple Crown as well ...?]
4:46 NPC001- 'we have growing hate crime' Presenter - 'that is disputed with statistical evidence' NPC001- hate-speech monologue.exe failed ... rebooting ... - 'none the less!'
Nick Lynch hahaha
Victimhood, the new obsession
Anyone seeking special privileges should instead be subject to greater scrutiny.
I've no complaints with the Welsh NHS in my area. My prescriptions are free, there are 4 good hospitals within 12 miles of where I live. I can make an appointment to see the doctor easily and be seen promptly. I and my family have received the best of care when it's needed. It does rain quite a bit here, but housing is cheap and it's a fantastic friendly place to live.
If we lose our Welsh language then we lose our real British culture and history forever. Ref: Alan Wilson Welsh Historian. There is a real reason why we don't want to have English signposts in Wales just as there is Irish Gaelic/ English and Scot Gallic/ English on signposts. We need to protect all languages! No this isn't SJW whining, I'm no SJW but I am Welsh!!
It doesn't need protecting from jokes to not be lost, it needs to be learned by Welsh people. I very much doubt that your average Welshman will stop speaking his own language because someone on occasion pokes fun at it.
TinnedTommy Jokes?! Tell that to the thousands of Welsh school children who were beaten for speaking their own Language, it's blatant Anti Welsh sentiment. The last legal racism...when all else fails, insult the Welsh.
Listen.. My grandfather didn't sweat his arse off in the army grinding the world under the colonial jungle boot for me to have to speak foreign!!! I do agree with you that the indigenous languages are very important, in our island at lease, I don't give a fuck about abroad. However the call to protect feelings in court by these ghastly women is indicative more of the modern politicians desire for authoritarian control. Its the creeping marxism and feministisation of society.. Its verh dangerous because all a debate like this demonstrates is how catastrophically broken our democracy is when politicians are so out of touch with the opinions of the voters. I think we need a guillotine on Parliament Square
Twllch tyn a pob sais!
It's "twll din pob Sais" 🙄 Christ! If you are going to insult another countryman in a different language to his by using your own (debatable) at least get it right! And if you can't maybe you should use his language until you have better mastery of your own (?)
I was forced to partake in welsh speaking classes when I lived in Wales. I even got sent to my Head of House because I refused to make any effort tto read write or speak Welsh. Whilst he was telling me off in English Wh he askedy? he asked? My answer!! all the welsh speaking people in my class could not read or write their own language andd any new words like Car Computer were just pronounced differently i.e Caaarrrr Commmmpuuuuuter absolutely ridiculous..
If people wanted to speak Welsh as their first language,they should.It should not be up to activists.
Language is not an expression of culture; it's a means of effective communication, pure and simple. It's only function is to express and share thoughts with one another. It evolves with society. If you speak a language in a country where most people don't understand you, you can't stubbornly cling to your language and expect the rest of the population to revolve around you.
I, for one, miss fox hunting. A majority of the residents of hen houses concur.
You enjoy killing animals for fun? That is not something to be proud of.
Objective Realist 420 I am a valiant protector and defender of helpless hens, defenseless bunnies and vulnerable baby lambs.💪

It is a constant amazement to me how Wales, with its dullness-and-distrust, exists just on the very other side of the estuary from delightful, sunny, glad-to-be-alive, Devon and Cornwall !
I’m Welsh and these SJWs do more damage to us than a journo having a bit of banter and a laugh.
"🐏🐑🐏🐑🐑🐑🐏🐏🐑🐏🐏" said the Welshman
Don't knock it til you've tried it. Thats all I say! Or gorau bach?
Now take the piss out of Urdu Mr Liddle .... No I don't think so. The Welsh language is part of our joint island culture it must be protected. Yet another main stream journo' that seems to be going out of his way to dismantle British culture and identity for easy laughs and easy 'Look how edgy I am' kudos. Cont Gwirion
Your a Twat mate. enough said
:) lol
Peter The Painter Rod Liddle is not afraid to do that. Look at his record. He even slags off Islam!!
Peter The Painter So what you're saying is that the Welsh people, 'identity' and heritage (of which the language is a part) are so weak and fragile, that it won't survive unless punitive measures are taken to stop anyone from making tongue in cheek jabs at it? I'm surprised it lasted this long. Also about Urdu; I would, but I know nothing of it. I can take the piss out of the moonrune languages- Chinese and Japanese if that makes it better?
It's simpler than that , I've just had enough of people digging out domestic culture whether it be Welsh ,Scots , NI or English.
Gaelic was spoken in the Highlands of Scotland. Auld Scots in the rest of Scotland Auld Scots was so diverse that if you went 10 miles outside of the area you were born the people had different words for things. Eg in Auld Scots the words Serk= Shirt, Simett= Vest, Speuge= Sparrow, Baffies= Slippers, Sair Fist = Large Sandwich, Peece = Packed Lunch or Sandwich. As a Scot you can keep Gaelic even though my Ancestors hailed from the Highlands.
I moved to the south of England when I was 8. I have now lived here about 5 times longer than I lived up north, but friends and colleagues still call me a northern monkey, spuggy, council Chris and shit like that. Well you know what, I love it. You’ve just got to give as good as you get, It’s just good old British banter for gods sake.
It's sad to see most of the comments here. As an Irishman, I've long been impressed with how successful Wales has been at keeping their language alive, compared to Irish and Scots Gaelic. In Northern Ireland, DUP politicians regularly mock the Irish language. If you're doing the same thing as bitterly sectarian divided NI, it probably not a good thing. Mocking regional languages is simply bigoted.
I'm from Wales and I don't mind people mocking Welsh at all. It's a dying language and it is a waste of time to learn it when you could be learning something useful like chemistry or economics.
Or any other modern language.
John Horgan grow a spine, you tart.
It's about respecting people who do care. In a time where words like traitor and spineless have become commonplace, I guess respect for others isn't too popular.
At the same time, you're hyper-sensitve when you perceive Britain is being insulted or bullies. It's a funny old double-standards world.
Baiting the English is national sport in Wales. If we give it out we have to be able to take it.
I think everyone is missing the elephant in the room which is all the other protected classes. Apparently some people are more equal than others in Britain.
When I was a student at BANGOR (Pryfysgol Gogledd Cymru) the Language Society was a real problem, interrupting library study, and so forth. The Students Union called an emergency meeting, and the Professor of German (Kurt Spaldt - before he had books burned by Hitler, and moved to the UK) Keith Spalding, pointed out that it might not be a problem were Welsh not 'parked' alongside one of the giant languages of the Planet! He caused uproar, and charges of "Fascist!". Spot the irony?
I'm half Scottish, half English (one parent of each), and a redhead. I've been teased in Scotland for being English, and teased in England for being Scottish. I've been teased for being ginger in both. It's mildly irritating, but the notion of criminalising it is ridiculous. The only time I've been mocked for languages, was by another Scot who decided that, because I didn't have either Gaelic or Lallans, I "wasn't really Scottish".
I'm Welsh and take it as banter
Wow. Some people will always find inconsequential things to rile them up: language, the color you paint your house, the words you use, the way you clothe yourself, et cetera.
“byw a dysgu” I think is “live and learn” in welsh. Would love more ppl speaking my language but I understand where we are and practically would most likely hold its progress if it was going to be widely spoken. I speak to my daughter in welsh. She don’t use it outside the house but if she can articulate a good roasting of the English in any language. Then I’m a happy father really lol 😝 my job is done 😉
Getting back to the naming of the bridge and as someone born in west Wales. I think the name of the bridge should be " LLLL Turn back, there is a Labour government in charge here, bridge LLLL"
Well shouldn't all Brits learn English, Welsh, Scots and Gaelic as a part of regular curriculum. After all those are languages that are cultural heritage of UK. Funny, when it is soft power (language) then these royalists (don't know how else to call them) are mocking it and when it is hard power like Scottish referendum then it is panic, promises and lies (like they are going to stay in Europe. Maybe it is time to let English take care of themselves. That would be interesting. Basically Welsh, Scots and Irish are the first victims of English colonialism.
did you notice when he asked her to speak Welsh she couldn't and changed the subject LOL
We say the same about Tasmanian's, in Australia here is a common joke about Tasmanian How can you tell a virgin in Tasmania, she can run faster than her brother LOL
A girl from Alabama told me the same gag about girls from her State too!
Any nation that thinks it necessary to sign the distance to roadworks as 200 yards and 200 lath has to be unbelievably insecure.
Hate speech is simply free speech that someone claims to find offensive. Just remember that offence is always taken, never given. What a humourless woman.
These women should be careful what they wish for. I really don't think in all their rhetoric, they realise they're calling for tyranny.
I'm Welsh and I love my country. That guy's comments are fucking hilarious. If what he said pisses you off just tell some jokes at the expense of the English.
Language is so so important! Regardless of the language, its the way we communicate. Can't believe the guy even mockingly suggested we should protect fox hunting.....oh my days...
Quite frankly couldn't give a toss. Pstyyyssyssschtymrulalalsdechhhhh ....have no idea what that was but it looked Welsh 😂😂😂😂
The problem with people like this woman is they never want a reciprocal relationship. She is very concerned about racism, sexism, islamophobia, but I’ve seen her interviewed elsewhere where she call Brexiters racists.
Heads almost exploded at "Fox Hunting"! Sadly, only almost. Literal Monty Python exploding heads is what we want to see!
I’ve got Welsh friends who refer to me as an “English bastard”. Whenever there is an international sports competition, English people support the home nations. Welsh, Scots and Irish people ALWAYS support the opposition against England. They are such hypocrites.
Outsiders are welcome as long as they are prepared to do as Romans do. The problem is they demand the established population change to their ways. In that case, outsiders stay out.
Hi, just joined the party! I'm Welsh and laughed my arse off with the comments in the Times, I thought it was quite funny. I'm not offended at this at all. Modern society is constantly attention seeking and they get this by being offended by bollocks. Social media is the most toxic this that has happened to society in 30 years. Even the response from the MP on Twitter is driven by the cancel culture of social media, if he didn't respond to it then social media arseholes would chastise him and he'd be out of work. Come on people, stop being bloody idiots!
They Welsh Government tried to start their own Intelligence Agency, but there were too many leeks!
In the old days, severe punishments were extended out to anyone offending the Royals or anyone in their service which put them beyond reproach, thought we did away with such things . Now everyone wants to be considered Royalty.
A language should perpetuate itself by common use.
I went to Wales two years ago from a country far away. Very friendly, helpful people (I had the wrong bus pass but the driver said, Aw, get on anyway!) but they have a MASSIVE obesity problem. I think that is a more important problem than being teased. If the language can't stand on its own two feet it's done. When the people can't then they are done for.
I'm welsh, valleys welsh, ex mining father etc etc. I'm not offended in any way, oh and BTW I think James Delingpole is utterly fantastic. Love his podcast and all his guests. He's converted me to conservatism.
Dai is at the car boot sale when an American tourist comes by. Pointing to a skull on display in Dai's car, he says: “Whose skull is that?” “That,” says Dai profoundly, “is the skull of Owain Glyndwr. It's yours for £10.” “Incredible,” says the American. “I'll take it.” Some weeks later, Dai is at the car boot sale when the same American walks past and notices a much smaller skull for sale. “Whose skull it that?” asks the American. “That,” says Dai in a practised voice, “is the skull of Owain Glyndwr.” “Hang on,” says the American. “You sold me the skull of Owain Glyndwr a few weeks ago.” “Aye,” says Dai. “This is when he was a boy.”
If the biggest issue in your life is that someone says something you don't like to hear, then you don't have any issues in your life!
Oh, and I live in England, have lived in England for more than I lived in Wales, and I've never suffered racism, just a little banter. Surely we take that and give back with a grin.
Cannot believe that advanced Western democracies that are so steadfast in protecting groups are so uncertain about protecting an individual person's right of free expression.
"A people's culture is their language" Yes, and it is grating to hear such alien ideas spoken in my ethnic language constantly.
We pay for all Welsh kids to learn Welsh, which they promptly forget. We, England, pay for it. Happily I’ll pay for it, what more do they want?
STRAIGHT TO JAIL The audible sigh from her when he says "foxhunting should be preserved" is great
R I P humor, jokes and laughter have died. Shed a tear it was lovely while we had you.
The whole uk is based on the English welsh and Scott’s taking the piss out of each other
She is a liar. Her introduction for herself was that she was from South London; then she says that she comes from a county where the majority of people are first-language Welsh speakers (of which I am highly dubious). Which makes me suspect almost everything else that she says - her husband and kids think and dream in Welsh?! Ri-i-i-ight...
As a Yorkshireman, I see 'offensive' comments from people across the border to the west (in the area that shall not be named, that begins with L) and think that, actually, their comments are quite clever, amusing, tongue in cheek and constitute great banter - long may that kind of humour live. Long live Lancashire!
First time encountering the phrase "away with the faeries." Lovely.
