Racial slur as man calls Welsh woman "English" - Yahoo! News UK

10 weeks for getting someones nationality wrong?

I'm english and live in wales, I've had people dig me in pubs because I'm english.

I've been in an Irish pub with a comedy act asking where people were from - you honestly think I was going to say england?

Its getting beyond IMO.

If only he'd called her a backwards Welsh Slag, he'd be alright.

If it were Powys the market town is Newtown and not Newport

I read it as though the guy lives in Powys but the incident happened in Newport pembs. I assume its Newport Pembs as Newport is south wales and not a "really little market town"

Great! A marvellous way to spend our hard earned money. A parking incident leads to a 10 week stretch. Though, actually, we don't know if he's got previous form.....

Wonder if the Police will be using the same powers in quite the same way the next time Cardiff and Millwall play each other.... I think not!

This country is getting stupid, least he didn't actually do any time as it was suspended but still really getting silly now.

Let me get this right a Norn Iron mysoginist calls a woman a bitch and throws in a racial (albeit inaccurate) attempt at a slur after crashing into her car and you think he's hard done by to be done for racially aggravated disorderly behaviour???

I thought Scoobynet was quite a right wing 'law and order', old values kind of place who hates chavs and scum hiding behind the law and technicalities?

Sounds like the Welsh mags made an example of a mouthy tw@t that is happy to abuse women after damaging their property. Good on em.!

Thank God he didnt name Teddy Jesus is all I say - that would deserve a far harsher sentence!!!
