I don't see the distinction makes any difference in relation to types of hate speech which encompass ethnic origin. The general rule is that British is a nationality and English, Scottish and Welsh are ethnicities.
Ethnically I feel I am Welsh... But born English...or better still British..I have just realised I am a humanist.. I do not feel either my ethnic group, religion or nationality is better (than yours)...it is just mine. Hate speech is hate speech...whether it is against a nation, an ethnic group or a religion. I personally do not like it Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
Yes but Welsh Irish and Scots are not races so disliking them doesn't make them you a racist. (it makes you other things tho.) Racist is a term too easily used now.
I give a regular dose of anti England on here directed to any nationist you believes it their right to belittle other nations and to top it off use the proud to be British slogan to justify any statements they feel they want to Sexism Of course its OK to post pictures for a laugh but then if it gets serious then poster fall back behind a safety net or self righteous The same principle imo applies to nationism on here there seems to be a divide right to use British double standards as and when Ellers the only thing I miss in my life is not going to watch the Rs each week and believe me seriously I take no personal attacks to heart how could I? It’s just a pleasant distraction each day ... remember also I come and go as I please ... that’s factual however it draws you back in when you read some of the crap that was spouted off by the old boys nationist party on here during days may I add when hardly anyone posted . Brexit has divided me 100% and will not accept these viewpoints without pushing back. Posters who have met me know I am in no way a sheep I do my own thing and will continue to spout off in my style and method as I see fit
If anyone on here thinks that it’s fine to generalise a nation for example France as lazy Greece as crooks etc etc then they can have plenty more sheep talk from me plus a bit of **** the English If any Englishman is currently not aware of how they perceived from the outside then shame on them and all the time I read this is great that is great we are better etc expect a big dose back Same with the footy continuous attacking our team and players when they couldn’t run 5 yards or kick a ball straight Sofa sheep I call them idiots They simply have no insight to the cultural infection inside ... it doesn’t exist
You are stretching the words here Durbar... Saying you hate ( I know you have not said this. So do not worry) the Scottish still makes you a racist... Saying you hate Tahitians, Costa Ricans or Namibians makes you a racist. If you say things made from collectives that is not good... saying "I hate @@@@, because she stopped my sister in law seeing her grand children" is okay because it is factual and supportable in fact.. I may delete this later! Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
Okay DT...you are pushing things a bit here. We are all armchair warriors here ( you, me the rest of them)..You couldn't be on the same 5 a side pitch as Solly March any more either... whatever you think You have no right to call us all idiots or sheep...sheep and idiots all have feelings too and I know you do not actually think you feel that you are better than the rest of us either. Please just leave the site for awhile and cool down. Return when and if France win the world cup...You would have something to gloat about then Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
The Scots are not a race so saying you hate them is not racist its just being a dick head. (Actually I met a nice Scottish couple in a bar yesterday and had a pleasant conversation with them about things to do in New York despite the fact I couldn't understand a word he said!)
There is a case in the Guardian ( look it up ) about this...but to be honest I do not give a monkeys. Being nasty to people over this is just being a DICK.. So you are so right Durbar To everyone else please stop being dicks Let's just support our team..that is QPR if you have forgotten Let's not invade the pitch on Saturday Let's not sound like Ted ( that is a note to self) Let's just go to bed with paracetamol and hot water bottle like hubbie says as I am not well..

Yes Beth I could still be in the same five a side pitch as Solomon sadly he isn’t allow plus is a lazy sod . I do however play against players a lot better than Solly plus I get paid to do so. Currently I am even a lot fitter and won’t accept that I cloud play a full 90 And sorry I have no intention of leaving the site but I am seriously cool. I have broken no rules really that would mean you would need to ban others. I come on here to feel real people end of that’s all . I do not believe you have the right to ask me to leave because I ruffle a few feathers on principles may I add I have been countlessly attacked and abused on here for years it’s water off a ducks back to me . So certainly no need for me to chill I leave plenty of threads alone that do not interest me or are out of respect for those posters. This will continue to be all about challenge and free will if of course I do not agree with a post ... it’s called free speech the very reason I came on here years to case study social media. I leave when I want to no problem ... it’s called entertainment
Hope you get well soon Beth Stop reading or watching the U.K. news especially the snob rags you will get infected
I would be very pleased and proud if England won it as that’s my country ... it’s the people who let it down
DT... I find it bizarre that you feel it’s OK to criticise your country of birth with many negative and insulting comments to people here and all British; however you lambast anyone on here for having just a strong view or opinion on the performance of the manager of our beloved football club. Double standards it would seem. I believe in reading your comments mostly, as debate is about considering others views (not belittling them for having individual views, or alternative beliefs from you). Enjoy France mate, a lovely country to enjoy (as are many across the world). I look forward to more (many more) debates, discussions and well-meant, considered and alternative opinions that have me looking at different angles, opinions and thoughts of many clever and smart people on this board. Be good to get back to football
"A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"... A quote from your favourite wartime leader but sums you up perfectly...
It’s just Fighting Fire with Fire matey nothing more ... people are not happy and ok I have blown a bit too much but seriously Sack Holloway from posters who wanted someone that cares ! Or the weather is terrible and the manager has lost the changing room ... posted that ****e up of course is going to do it for him Without me this forum would be a brexiteers post room and we would need to change our manager every month Look I love England I have homes there but if anyone cannot see things aren’t right then they are blind . I promise to challenge points where people are pretending I am hoping that these people leave the forum so we can get back to normal
I never liked Churchill he is no hero of mine Bastard knew about the gas chambers and did nothing. He was a very lucky idiot imo
