Racists heading to Wales.
ENGLISH racists are moving to rural Wales to get away from blacks and Asians, it was claimed yesterday.But when they get there they are just as prejudiced against the Welsh.
Mike Parker, co-author of The Rough Guide to Wales, an English "incomer" said: "It is a sad truth that many English immigrants moving into rural Wales are out-and- out racists.
"They see the area, with its largely white population, as a safe haven."
He added that because of English "majority culture arrogance" they treated Welsh culture as just another minority to be "ridden roughshod" over.
Mr Parker said one example was British National Party leader Nick Griffin who "specifically moved to the Welsh countryside to escape multi-racial Britain".
