So who are the 'bigots' you refer to?
Whats it to you? Given your previous banning I think you'd be wise to try and control your anti-welsh feelings and try not to get into any rucks in this forum.

If you're that concerned about reporting FAG-busting posts here are a couple for you to start with...
I'm not, I was advising Hollis. Feel free to report me if you think I've got you wrong Fanta.

I agree broadly with that, Hollis, though I think the Poor Laws are more widely known.
However, Britain does have a very successful history of quietly dropping or ignoring its various colonial crimes and horrors, and while this is considerably less shocking (and more ancient) than say, British actions in Kenya during the Mau Mau rising, its disappearance from popular history is comparable at some level. Its weird, there seems to be this general agreement not to talk about such things.
"You know you will not be able to find a single post of mine that supports any sort of imperialism - you've probably already had a quick search already, right? - but go on have another pointless look... "
Er, no I haven't. Do you really think I'd go looking through anybody's old posts let alone yours? Sounds like you're suffering from rampant egomania mate.. and you appear to have misplaced your sense of humour.

What, and that makes it OK? England is in permanent denial about its imperialist past. If anything I detect a sense of loss at its passing. We've even still got people dishing out the Order of the British Empire for God's sake. Arcane or a lament for the passing of empire?

No tending to ignore past crimes is not ok, but, human nature being what it is, that they are ignored is hardly surprising is it?
"The English are the world's most illigitimate 'race', we've got everybodys' blood running through our veins."
Utter drivel. The majority of English people are of anglo-saxon descent.
Don't confuse London or other urban centres with England. Having lived in England for about 13 years I would say that the English are far more racist than the Welsh. There is a simple reason for this: the power ratio in England between white and black is that of (resentful) colonizer and colonized; whereas in Wales it that of colonized and colonized.
Talking of race - a recent disturbing trend is the amount of English racists moving to Wales as part of the "white flight" from the Midlands. So not only are we getting loads of people who don't give a fig about Welsh culture moving here but they all think Nick Griffin is great too - charming.
