English people are ignorant and racist when it comes to Wales and its culture.
04-08-2003 21:57
A couple of weeks ago, I can’t remember which newspaper it was, one of the tabloids decided that North Wales is the rudest place in the United Kingdom. They complained that the people in the shops or pubs started talking Welsh as soon as you came in there. But of course that didn’t have anything to do with the English people coming in there, people have always spoken Welsh there. Just to give you an idea - speaking another language is seen as rude in the United Kingdom. It’s not seen as anything positive, as building a multilingual, multicultural environment'.This is one of the comments that Simon Thomas makes when he describes the attitudes he meets in his job. He claims that English people in general are ignorant when it comes to Wales and its culture.

Also Salford is a seperate city to manchester and many salfordians are proud of their identity and are wanting to promote that salford is a seperate city.Thank you imc for a local indymedia though, this was just a suggestion.
