You say you “have lodged a formal complaint of racial discrimination against the school”, please keep us updated.

My 11 year grandson and his friends are suffering terribly at the moment because their school hase failed to deal with two ethnic pupils – who don’t even live in our community. Indeed, one of the ethnic pupils has to travel past 7 other primary schools to get to our village school.
This problem has been ongoing since last year when my 7 year grand daughter was asked for SEX by the 10 year old ethnic pupil. The school did nothing other than to ask a few questions and tick a few boxes. My grand daughter was so afraid; at her request she was moved to another local school and is now happy.
We have recently lodged a formal complaint of racial discrimination against the school. We took this action because our grandson and his friends were/are being persecuted by senior management because they are Welsh and white whilst the ethnic pupils are allowed to continue their reign of abuse because the school are afraid of repercussions from MEWN and the race relations board.

If standing up for our children is now to deemed racist – so be it. Bring it on.

A winning try against England,or male voice choir singing in Windsor Castle.Until we educate our people with the real history of Wales,long and rich in tradition,whose influence around the world by far punched above it’s own weight and which existed long before the english nation (whose own traditions are usurped from brythonic ones),only then will we find the backbone to stand up to the likes of the english establishment and crush the sycophancy that gnaws at our nation like a cancer.

I didn’t realise there were any indigenous Welsh people left in “Taawyn”!
So you had to go to England to find work? Ever wondered why that is? Possibly:
1. Too much competition from English immigrants for meagre jobs?
2. The manufactured decline of the Welsh economy?
or possible
3. You felt a need to be in a more central location at the heart of the thriving British Empire?
Try talking about anything Welsh up in Manchester and see how much change you get – I hear they’re incredibly unbiased and tolerant up there!

After the Welsh fan was murdered by an English fan the English media took great delight blaming Welsh fans. First they started with fans from the north (Wrecsam I believe) then they worked their way down (to Aberystwyth) and then finally Swansea.

When it was finally revealed that it was actually one of theirs they didn’t focus as much on the story. Strange that.

And I didn’t leave Tywyn to escape small minds (unfortunately you find those everywhere). I left for work and because I want to live in a city. So I’m not going anywhere!

Enjoy the blog even though I disagree with 90% of it.

Funnily enough I have had a season ticket at Anfield for the last 15 years (and I live within a mile of Old Trafford!). So I know only too well about the Manchester anti-Scouse small mindedness. I don’t like that either. So we are agreed that one group being small minded about another is wrong, right?

This distrust of ‘the others’ and the paranoid antenna for anything anti-Welsh is destructive and doesn’t lead anywhere.

Btw, prediction for tomorrow, Utd 1 – Liverpool 1.

Re the story of the young man who claimed he may have been attacked in Cardiff because of his English accent, I think the Daily Telegraph coverage was more invidious than the Daily Mail on this occasion.

Having repeated the claim the Telegraph reporter immediately produced the figures on hate crimes for England and Wales, as if the claim had been substantiated. It may turn out to be true but as yet it is unsubstantiated. Shoddy stuff from the Telegraph.

Re. violence towards the Welsh. A young man I know went to Cardiff for the National Eisteddfod a few years back, and was attacked by a gang of young teenagers as he, alone, left the Cardiff Students’ Union building in Park Place about 11 p.m. They had earlier threatened a group of Indian/Pakistani or similar people but there were too many of these for the youngsters to deal with.

When the young man (bleeding from a cut above his eye) reported to the police what had happened, they said that attacks like this had been very common during Eisteddfod week, as Cardiff extended its warm ‘welcome’ to visitors from ‘beyond the Pale’, namely the rest of Wales. Of course, no CCTV cameras were working in Park Place at the time, so nothiing further could be done to find the culprits. As far as I know, nothing reached the press about these attacks. How odd!

You hit the nail on the head (again) about the picture the Wasting Mule wishes to paint about Wales – sport, tourism, showbiz etc. The only time Carwyn Jones appears to come alive is when he talks about rugby; the same was true for Rhodri Morgan. S4C also plays along with this as its programme many a Saturday night is nothing but rugby, Jonathan, rugby, sports news, rugby, Jonathan (repeat)…
