Re: Don't Come to Australia
All good so far 
Free beer and internet in Singapore...wonder if I'm expecting too much if I hope for free beer in London too?
Does your husband dislike the NSW types as well, or just the true Welsh people
Begged me to stay even 
Sue must've been on something that night!
I shall keep you in suspense on that one!
Wellllll, thats possible I suppose.......

No, well one that he works with but he'd be a dickhead whatever the nationality

No, You said the above post was borderline. I gave my reason and evidence for saying that most English have a strong genetic link to the Anglo Saxons hence the English/German blood.

Okay I'll do this slowly.
You said "If I am showing myself up by standing up for my beliefs, then so be it. Rather that than by being racist, nationalistic,xenophobic, bigoted... whatever you choose to call it to lessen it's effect!"
Note the words "rather than" which suggested that you would rather be something other than a racist, nationalistic,xenophobic, bigoted... or whayever.
However you earlier responded to Polly's comment saying she wasn't offended by MP's comment by saying "I'm glad you do not have a problem with it. Your blood must have been diluted with English/German blood", which appeares to be suggesting that she has no problem with the comment as she is not pure blood Welsh i.e. that her blood has been diluted with English/German blood.
That to me sounded like a boderline 'nationalistic,xenophobic, bigoted... whatever' statement.
I have made no comment on the genetics of anyone being borderline. I guess I may have experienced the problems of the context being kept across 2 quotes in the modern sound-bite world.
