Not me. But then again me country is rather Anglophilic. You guys were the best colonial masters we had, compared to the Dutch and the Portuguese before that...

I think the key point to why he was sentenced was that he blatantly intended to insult the lady on grounds of her apparent ethnic origin, which is surely racist?

It doesn't matter where the lady is from, the guy chose to use the nationality 'English' in his verbal attack after HE drove a truck into the ladies PARKED car, did he believe calling her English would be more insulting?

Sure he has the right to be upset with himself but there was no need to verbally attack the poor woman.

On a lighter the guy should be watch out for the Welsh Mafia, known as the Tafia - the things they can do with leaks....

I think you will find most British people tend to use their Country of origin as a bit of a semi-humorous friendly banter piece. No one laughs more about the British than the British! We are the best in the world at that - having a strong sense of humour should be an immigration requirement hehe.

Honestly its all about context, if you blatantly walk up to a Welshman and say to his face that you've seen videos floating on the Internet of his mum doing things with a sheep then you could quite probably expect things to turn nasty. It would probably be the same in all cultures.

I would agree, however in this case there was definite aggressive intent by the man which was unnecessary.

One of my work mates is a bald ginger Englishman and doesn't he know it lol
