| I've been flicking through Gumtree and I've noticed a lot of nasty things being said about England and/or English people. What's this about? |

Leia you should "flick" through again and this time perhaps you'll notice there have been a lot of nasty things said about Saffas, Australians, Blacks, Whites, Gays, Arabs, Muslims, etc.
Every race, religion and nationality has copped a fair bit of flack on these boards before. |

Hey, I didn't say other races/religions hadn't be 'attacked' so to speak, I just wanted to know the reason behind the English flack in particular, that's all! |

Fair enough.
Who can say what the reasons behind the English flack are.
There are probably dozens of reasons. A lot of it was 'retaliation' by sensitive Saffas who took offence to being wound-up by the English on here. Just childish 'tit for tat' if you know what I mean. |

Yeah the gumtree had to protect themselves legally - they couldn't allow incitement of murder or hatred on here.
I can understand there position from a legal standpoint. |

Just a bunch of whinging antips. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Despite being an antip myself, I prefer to devote my time to bagging my southern hemisphere counterparts where possible. |

We're surprised because until you live here you have no idea just how shit it can be.
I've been to Germany a few times and the weather isn't half as bad. |
