no brobie its about cheap oil, ever since man stoo on 2 feet he has traded for his needs.

britain does not want to trade and enrich other nations, so working class lads die as a cost of theiving what britian wants, and each and everyone of us is complicit in the theft and murder by OUR silence.

thats why the english are despised by so many.

man has traded when there is plenty. tend to get a bit tetchy when there's a worry about supply

so what do you think gives you the god given right to kill thousands of foriegners in their own lands so as to maintain your standard of living, you had north sea oil and gas, and you squandered it.

don't believe in god btw

just for you muttley, some uneducated Welsh inbreds:

Hate poisons the mind

Josie D'Arby ......listed twice.
has to be the worst list ever to try and make a point.

if you say so

No Brodie mate, I like the Welsh, in fact I like everybody. Good and bad in all nations.

the reply was to brngtwt who posted before u.

That's a hell of a list on first viewing, but for every Tommy Cooper there's a Max Boyce, and every Sir Anthony Hopkins there's a Ruth Madoc, every Manic Street Preachers there's a Shaking Stevens and a pair of Scott-Lees, so its not as impressive as it first appears

Harry, it did come from Wiki mate, what u expect?

This is why

An English man was living in Wales and he used to come back to england and go out with his friends.When his friends asked him how was he liking wales he said 'i just don't like the  Welsh people.'
        His friends advised him to try talking some of the lingo and learn a bit of welsh here and there and he might enjoy the people more.He thought ok i will give it a go.
     He returned back to Wales and on his way back his car broke down.A Welsh man stopped to help him and said 'Oh boyo can i give you a hand there'
      The English guy said 'get lost you Welsh git '   

Personally always found the welsh hated each other far far more than they hated the English.

Cardiff have a hatred of Swansea and both have a real hatred of North Wales who in turn seem to hate the English and are obsessed with speaking welsh.The welsh also seem to hate the irish.

Oddly i've always found Germans very friendly indeed towards the english,they dont seemt o retain the "comedy" hatred that we seem to retain for them.

Can't say i've found the jocks over friendly to the english though.Theyre fine sober in the daytime but after a few gallons they seem to generally spit out the word english.Depends which town you're in of course.

north welsh.

I love the Welsh, especeially the black and asian ones.

I've found germans ok, as europeans go.  A little too pleased with themselves, but friendly enough.

I am English and my best friend is Welsh and he hates me. Cant fault him.
