LONDON (Reuters) - A man has been convicted of racially aggravated harassment after calling a Welsh woman English.

Michael Forsythe was sentenced to 10 weeks in jail, suspended for 12 months, after being found guilty of racially aggravated disorderly behaviour, a court official said.
Forsythe received the sentence at Welshpool Magistrates Court on Tuesday and was also ordered to pay 200 pounds in prosecution costs.
The former lorry driver, who is originally from Northern Ireland, but lives in Powys, Mid Wales, called Lorna Steele an "English bitch" during an argument after he collided with her parked vehicle in the Welsh market town of Newport in February.
Forsythe has attacked the prosecution as a waste of time and money, according to the Daily Mail newspaper.
"I find it unbelievable that I've been prosecuted for this," he said. "I've travelled all over Europe as a lorry driver and never had any problems with anybody and now they're officially calling me a racist.
"It's political correctness gone mad."

Don't think of calling me English, I'll sue you bastards :D

edit: z0mg! NOWAI!!
Its what we Belgians call: de - mo -cra -zy
Thats why we we draw a line in the middle of our country and one half gets to vote for French politicians and the other half gets to vote for Dutch politicians. In the end you put the French and the Dutch fags together and there you got it: the most democratic government in the world!
*federal political parties (not federal elections, but you only get to choose on either Dutch or French politicians)
*one bilingual Belgium instead of Belgium being separated into two monolingual parts Flanders and Walloon.
*one federal TV station which would be watched by both Flemish and Walloon so maybe one day the agenda setting of both parts of the country would be the same (agenda setting = what ppl think is important = hugely influenced by media)
I know that its fcked up now, because now we look upon belgium as a state, but ofc it wasnt like that when belgium was founded. Throughout history we have been on the brink of civil war multiple times, and its only because of our complex and to some ppl irrational system that we averted civil war.
But i agree, that perhaps its time to change things.
