Drunken Welshman who sang anti-English songs on bus after wedding found guilty of racial abuse
This is consistent with British law but it's rather pathetic that songs require the attention of the police and the courts<
A drunken Welsh wedding guest who insulted the English was convicted of racism today. Phillip Pritchard, 32, was on a coach home from a smart country wedding in Wales when he started singing anti-English songs.
He began by singing rugby songs but then segued into anti-English chants of his own design.
Another Welshman on the coach objected to Pritchard’s taunts and a 'heated row' erupted, forcing the coach driver to pull over into a lay-by and call police.
Pritchard, of Swansea, admitted using racially aggravated threatening, insulting, abusive words or behaviour.
Lucinda Nicholls, defending, said: 'He was one of many guests at a wedding function and it appears they were all intoxicated to some extent. 'There was some banter between some English people and Mr Pritchard, who is Welsh. 'Rugby songs were chanted and he got carried away.
'Just to add to the unusualness of the situation, the complainant in the matter is Welsh, not English, but felt other people on the bus would take offence.'
Pritchard was given a 12-month conditional discharge with costs of £150 by Brecon magistrates.

"English" is now a "race"? Hmmm. Live and learn.
I'm sure things will improve when the millions of radical Muslims who were welcomed into britain finally take full control of the country, rather than the partial control they now have.
Then, this nation of pansys will find out what real political correctness is all about.
Liberals are all a bunch of racsisit wackos and nut cases
A radio station manager in Canada is demanding a Jew-bashing radio host apologize.
A caller phoned in to make less-than-complimentary remarks about local Jews and implied that the holocaust was a good thing that should have been completed.
Local Jews were, of course, outraged and insisted that such sentiments should not be publicly expressed.
In a free society, however, we cannot afford to allow the government (or management) to censor the expression of opinions, even when those expressions are highly offensive.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN WELSHMAN,WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN WELSHMAN,WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN WELSHMEN,EARLY IN THE MORNING
"Offense by Proxy" is the current moronic twist on Political Correctness. "I'm not a member of that group, but they SHOULD be offended (even if several claim they are not...what do they know, they're just members of 'that group' that needs our protection - and their lack of offense makes it obvious why they need protection) and doggonit, we're going to bully people until they stop doing things I think are offensive to somebody else...."
It's time that you right wingers come out of the closet.
The guy was drunk and disorderly. Even without the bate speech element, here in the States the punishment would be about the same. The fine would probably be larger.
Suggesting that he was drunk because he was at a welsh wedding is racist.
