Which English do you hate? Yorkshire pensioners? Bournemouth toddlers? Mixed race babies from Leeds? Disabled people on the Isle of Wight? Teenagers from the Isle of Man? English children with cancer? Have you a card to say you don't want to receive blood in the event of a transfusion in case it's English blood? Do you wish all English people were dead? When you grow up and have children what will you do when they want to have a child with an English person? It's very hard to hate, I pity you.
@davidbowiefan100 no onehates the individuall...please wake up to the brainweashing of the state...the english are mainly celtic stock and yet believe you are some strange germanic speaking and norman french like lol,,,,its insanity
@3tangle3 Excusez-moi? The Welsh are maybe Celtic... but it's pretty obvious English/ Anglisch is leaning more towards a Germanic side. That's pretty obvious.
@moonlightcrawler DNA research says differently...i studied genetics to masters level....english may have more germanic stock as a percentage...does not make every englishman majority germanic....be careful.........CULTURALLY of course they lean germanic...no arguments ...this language i am typing in is of west frisian descent lol
@moonlightcrawler fair point bud, I am a biologist who thinks we all come from stars.....doesnt stop my interest in these things though lol..........yeah most brits originate from same ancestors from basques....have a look :)
it was the movement of the head which made it obvious he didn't know the words. he could have just mouthed something and people might have thought he was singing very quitely.
Why do people get hung up on such daft things, I'm English, I quite like Wales, and Scotland, and Ireland, and lots of other places. Never been able to speak Welsh, It would be nice to but never had the chance or the time. I'd like to be able to speak better French and German as well,
The new Govt. kept JR well in the dark in the run up to last year`s General Election. Let`s hope he stays there. No whit nor motion. He has the Charisma of a shit lolly !
I beg to differ. Welsh laws being passed by Welsh people is the way it should be. Westminster formerly made laws with no real knowledge of the background or outcome. With the new powers, we can pass our own laws without them sitting on a Civil Servant's desk in Whitehall for years.
Besides, the the amount of Welsh gold plundered over the centuries more than pays for the Assembly.
he's got the excuse for not knowing the words, he's not Welsh, most ppl who are Welsh can't even have a simple conversation in Welsh, they only know English, and that's far more embarrassing IMO
@dowling1981 it was less of a a speech and more about how nothing is his fault and how labour are all wrong and all that sort of typical MP bullshit..
I fhe had just stood for the anthem and kept his mouth shut, all would have been well... but he chose instead to nod like a Thunderbirds puppet while wobbling his lower jaw.
Obviously an unappreciated moment of pure genius. ROFL
This version doesn't do it justice – thank you for posting nonetheless. The full version sees Redwood look relieved before the chorus because he thinks the nightmare has ended. But then the chorus strikes up and his mouth suddenly opens – you can sense his shock and upset. Classic.
God that was good to watch. The poor man wants the ground to open up and swallow him up. You could see him visibly wanting to disappear into his shirt collar. Hilarious!!!
A forgotten Welsh MP said at the time that "Making Redwood Welsh Secretary is about the strangest political appointment since Caligula made his horse a Senator".
Watching this remindes me of watching our Welsh football players standing in line attempting to sing our great National Anthem before an international game. l wish some of them would at least attemt to mime like Redwood....at least that would bve something
Did you see Alun-Wyn Jones giving it some pasty last Saturday? He was really going for it, the veins in his neck were bulging right out with the effort.
correction, just googled it, and 1993 it was. But he did then actually learnt the words of it and later sung it - I was close to him when he did, he sounded as if was singing some Indian hindi Bollywood song...
Think it has got to be John, silly that is. But yes, at five foot nine, I could be considered little in THE land of rugby, but at least I am bigger than Shane, THE rugby player..
@dowling1981 Believe it of not they were real life brothers, Rhys Ifans obviously the most famous, Notting Hill film and all that. And his brother Llŷr does a lot of childrens programmes on welsh tv these days.
Here's the trailer of Rhys Ifans latest film, Mr Nice, about the welsh bob hope runner and dealer, Howard Marks,
@closertofiftythanyew I remember reading Mr Nice eleven years ago. It was a good read but it contained so many differing aliases that it (ironically) would be difficult to read whilst stoned. Did you see Howard Marks' appearance in Human Traffic?
@dowling1981 Aye. But Human Traffic is set in Cardiff, the bluddy centre of posh wenglish, unlike the working class wenglish that live in Swansea butt. Flipping Kairdiff - would sell Wales for a penny if they were skint.
@dowling1981 Good grief yes, from neighbouring villages upwards. Swansea and Cardiff have certainly got a 'thing' going, just watch when they play footie against each other.
@dowling1981 Well, this is a complex question, since Bellamy has spent his footballing life in showing genious that not many managers could cope with, with ok, a bit of dressing room attitude.
He is like George Best/Alex Higgins without the drink. His makeup is that he does not need it, and that what frightens the saxon footie managers!
@dowling1981 Sorry. To answer your question, Bellamy has miles in his attitude, and shouldn't Cardiff City be a stable member of Premier footie in this country? It should be, if they can find friends...
@closertofiftythanyew Would allowing Cardiff and Swansea to join the Premier League not open the floodgates for many other teams to try and claim membership?
@dowling1981 Tell you one thing, Celtic and Rangers should have joined the Premier years ago, but the various people didn't get their backsides in gear to make it happen. Yes, Celtic and Rangers. But Swansea and Cardiff is another thing. It is a crime Cardiff hasn't sorted themselves out to have spells in the Premier/old Div. 1 in the last fifty years. Hope they do it in the next year or two. I used to go and watch Swansea in the top flight when they were last (and only time) in early 1980s.
@closertofiftythanyew It would certainly be more interesting if Rangers and Celtic were in the league. dd you see the Ranger and Man Utd match the other night?
He looks to have lost respect for Man U, and understandably so - it looks as they will be going backwards soon, Their finances are all over the place, and if they can't aford to buy star players, there is only one way they're going. Rooney wiil be in light blue in January, and won't be moving far...
Maybe. But good to see Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal and Wales getting back to playing soon, after his horrendous leg break. He's young and has recovered well - but being young makes such breaks easier to happen. Strange young bones - green fractures they are called.
Pity about Hodgson, I thought he could have worked for them, but it was not to be.
And Kenny Dalgliesh back in the thick of thing!. Definately could be going places, Liverpool. Dalgleish at Blackburn is legendary, he knows how to make things work, as before then when he was Liverpools manager an incredible twenty-odd years ago. Good to see him back in sharp-end football.
John Redwood is a jackass. He has just said he was against the Iraq war, but he voted for it. Party whips turn MPs into puppets. That's more scandalous than the expenses thing, but most people don't appear to care about it. Anyone can be an MP if they just do what their whip tells them to.
He looks like an annoyed teenager who was forced by his parents to sing along. Just by looking at his facial expression, he thinks the song is stupid or he hates singing.
Why should anyone vote for that despicable, morally bankrupt and venal party? Frank Field, Labour MP for Birkenhead, said that in 1997, Britain had the best private pension system in the world, and he says now it is one of the worst because of Brown's removal of tax credits on pensions in 1997. He sold our gold at the bottom of the market, costing Britain around £10 billion so far.
Brown has smeared his own colleagues to prevent anyone from challenging his position and what he saw as his rightful inheritance. Charlie Whelan and Damian MacBride were vicious bastards who put out rumours, on Brown's orders, that Alan Milburn might be gay, in order to destroy his private life so that he wouldn't run for the leadership when Blair retired.
Brown also never acknowledged the strength of his economic inheritance from Kenneth Clarke. Inflation was at 2.6% and had been below 3% for 4 years, the best inflation performance for over 40 years. Interest rates were at 6.5%, thus providing a bountiful yield on savings and keeping monetary policy in good order. Unemployment was at 1,600,000 and falling faster than anywhere in Europe. The economy was growing at 3% a year.
Clarke left Brown with a current account surplus, a healthy balance of trade, a savings rate of 9% and a budget deficit of only £6 billion, which was quickly turned into a surplus because Brown followed Tory spending plans for 2 years. Brown inherited a very strong economy. However, his overregulation and punitive taxation has destroyed it. Britain has slipped down from 4th to 14th in competitiveness, and down to 84th in the world for tax and regulation.
His biggest mistake was to use fiscal and monetary policy as short term political tools, rather than following Geoffrey Howe's example of sound, long term financial policy. He changed the inflation target in 2003 from the RPI to the CPI, which hid the true level of inflation. Because of this change, before an election, the Bank of England was obliged to keep interest rates very low to meet this target, thus fuelling an asset bubble, the asset being housing.
I could go on all day, and if you want me to, just notify me and I shall reveal to you the full extent of Brown's dismal record.
Brown will go down in history as perhaps the worst Chancellor of the 20th century. Even before the crisis hit Britain, we had the 4th largest budget deficit in the developed world, which was insane considering the bouyancy of global growth and the flood of tax receipts from the City. It was mindless profligacy, inimical to prudent financial management.
And I shall debunk the idea that Brown 'saved the world.' What averted a depression was coordinated monetary policy e.g. slashing bank rates and printing money. Fiscal policy is useless. Fiscal policy never leads monetary policy, and I challenge anyone to indicate otherwise. Try this little statistical experiment. Gather data on changes in the quantity of money and in the structural budget deficit over any time period, and then regress changes in domestic demand on the two variables.
Actually...Fourteen lines of a text in an ancient language spoken by less than 20% of Welsh people. Although I do agree, he should have learnt this. I know most of it off by heart and I was born and bred in England - I just think it's a beautiful anthem.
@Sangrenegra9 He's not an idiot- he got one of the highest first class marks when he was at Oxford. And he predicted the blight of the Euro....when everyone else thought it would lead Europe to prosperity. He is smart.
@goodinvestor - I wouldn't care if he was Professor Emeritus at MIT. He's still an idiot (if you think academic ability means you can't be an idiot, look up Dionysius Lardner).
The only reason most Tories were anti-Euro is because they are anti-European in general. Deadwood had economic foresight?! Bear in mind that along with his fellow morons he also supported financial deregulation and privatization of everything - splendid results that got us!
Disgusting I am 1/2 Welsh 1/2 Arab and took the time to learn The Anthem what a fool bopping his head along, he should be towel whipped with a vinegar dowsed shammy!
Anyone with half a brain would have just stood there in silence if they didn't know it. But what a cock that man really is. And to be Welsh Secreatry you'd think learning the anthem would be the bare minimum.
I quite understand. But do you prefer another five million immigrants under Labour, or are you going to join millions of others on June 4th (Euro elections) and vote for the BNP?

John Redwood is a jackass. He has just said he was against the Iraq war, but he voted for it. Party whips turn MPs into puppets. That's more scandalous than the expenses thing, but most people don't appear to care about it. Anyone can be an MP if they just do what their whip tells them to.

Why should anyone vote for that despicable, morally bankrupt and venal party? Frank Field, Labour MP for Birkenhead, said that in 1997, Britain had the best private pension system in the world, and he says now it is one of the worst because of Brown's removal of tax credits on pensions in 1997. He sold our gold at the bottom of the market, costing Britain around £10 billion so far.
Mickmars90 1 year ago
Brown has smeared his own colleagues to prevent anyone from challenging his position and what he saw as his rightful inheritance. Charlie Whelan and Damian MacBride were vicious bastards who put out rumours, on Brown's orders, that Alan Milburn might be gay, in order to destroy his private life so that he wouldn't run for the leadership when Blair retired.
Mickmars90 1 year ago
Brown also never acknowledged the strength of his economic inheritance from Kenneth Clarke. Inflation was at 2.6% and had been below 3% for 4 years, the best inflation performance for over 40 years. Interest rates were at 6.5%, thus providing a bountiful yield on savings and keeping monetary policy in good order. Unemployment was at 1,600,000 and falling faster than anywhere in Europe. The economy was growing at 3% a year.
Mickmars90 1 year ago
Clarke left Brown with a current account surplus, a healthy balance of trade, a savings rate of 9% and a budget deficit of only £6 billion, which was quickly turned into a surplus because Brown followed Tory spending plans for 2 years. Brown inherited a very strong economy. However, his overregulation and punitive taxation has destroyed it. Britain has slipped down from 4th to 14th in competitiveness, and down to 84th in the world for tax and regulation.
Mickmars90 1 year ago
His biggest mistake was to use fiscal and monetary policy as short term political tools, rather than following Geoffrey Howe's example of sound, long term financial policy. He changed the inflation target in 2003 from the RPI to the CPI, which hid the true level of inflation. Because of this change, before an election, the Bank of England was obliged to keep interest rates very low to meet this target, thus fuelling an asset bubble, the asset being housing.
Mickmars90 1 year ago
I could go on all day, and if you want me to, just notify me and I shall reveal to you the full extent of Brown's dismal record.
Brown will go down in history as perhaps the worst Chancellor of the 20th century. Even before the crisis hit Britain, we had the 4th largest budget deficit in the developed world, which was insane considering the bouyancy of global growth and the flood of tax receipts from the City. It was mindless profligacy, inimical to prudent financial management.
Mickmars90 1 year ago
And I shall debunk the idea that Brown 'saved the world.' What averted a depression was coordinated monetary policy e.g. slashing bank rates and printing money. Fiscal policy is useless. Fiscal policy never leads monetary policy, and I challenge anyone to indicate otherwise. Try this little statistical experiment. Gather data on changes in the quantity of money and in the structural budget deficit over any time period, and then regress changes in domestic demand on the two variables.

I take it you will be voting Conservative then, Mick.
Just a quick question, however: what are your views on Tory financial management in the '80s and early '90s?

Actually...Fourteen lines of a text in an ancient language spoken by less than 20% of Welsh people. Although I do agree, he should have learnt this. I know most of it off by heart and I was born and bred in England - I just think it's a beautiful anthem.

@goodinvestor - I wouldn't care if he was Professor Emeritus at MIT. He's still an idiot (if you think academic ability means you can't be an idiot, look up Dionysius Lardner).
The only reason most Tories were anti-Euro is because they are anti-European in general. Deadwood had economic foresight?! Bear in mind that along with his fellow morons he also supported financial deregulation and privatization of everything - splendid results that got us!

Well if the Welsh people had voted for some Tory MP's in Wales they could have had a Welsh, Welsh Secretary.
Instead they voted Labour. Poor fools. They will soon see the light however.
