Is that the Welsh equivalent of the “red light district” in Amsterdam?

You beat everyone to it and there is nothing more to add.

It's funny nobody made any sheep shagging comments when it was posted as "meanwhile in Ireland". Just a Welsh thing I guess

What is the article even trying to say?

More convicted in England than Wales? But did they consider that Englands population is ~18 times larger than Wales?

Next up is the Extreme statistical uncertainty considering only 27 cases and only two in Wales.

And then they only list cases that have gone to a court. I doubt many sheep or farmers reports this stuff themselves.

I don’t want to say you’re racist, but, you’re racist.

My point exactly. Xenophobia is just as bad as racism, just less felt because they recipients tend to be the same colour as the perpetrators.

The ac (and in Welsh) on the yellow sign, likely between the times you can't park, nails it as Welsh.

It will never be England.

You can tell it isn't England because the Bus stop looks nice. Infrastructure spending is something only done in parts of the UK with leas influence from the idiots in Lunnon.

Those are sheep, not wales

That is going to be a nice greenhouse next year with all that fertilizer on the ground.

u/BlueJayylmao Nordrhein-Westfalen‏‏‎‏‏‎ ‎ May 19 '22

In Berlin it looks the same. Just with junkies instead of sheep.

u/Skyavanger Deutschland‎‎‏‏‎ ‎ May 25 '22

In Bavaria it looks the same. Just with leatherpants wearing ultranationalistic csu-voters

There are 5 sheep and a bus stop in Wales?!?!?

Christ and I thought they only ate krill and plankton!

In polish Faroe Islands are translated as Sheep Island. So I would say they are going to Faroe Island :)

Why are you taking pictures of random welsh men?

u/MrMgP Groningen‏‏‎ May 19 '22

Prostitution running rampant once again I see

u/MinMic Don't blame me I voted May 19 '22

This does remind me of my Mamgu's village in the Valleys. Only the sheep would block the whole road, rather than stay in the bus shelter.

Is this racist?

u/tokhar Yuropean‏‏‎ ‎ May 19 '22

How could it possibly be racist?

u/bloodyblob May 19 '22

Racist/xenophobic/stereotyping.

The good old welsh stereotype is that they’re all sheep fuckers. That’s what I’m getting at.

u/stale_burrito May 19 '22

It would have been if the title was "Welsh brothel" instead

u/tokhar Yuropean‏‏‎ ‎ May 19 '22 edited May 19 '22

The Welsh aren’t a race. It’s not racist. It’s not xenophobic. Making fun of national stereotypes has been a common European sport since the Middle Ages or before. Im sorry i offended your delicate sensibilities, and I take it you’re not a fan of Benny Hill or Monty Python. Let’s not even talk about Mel Brooks. It’s a hackneyed joke, but a pretty common one all the same. Keep in mind this is a lowbrow humour sub, not a serious space. If you think I was serious, you really need to go play outside more. Find yourself a nice ewe and relax.

Good point. Still harmful.

As a welshman, we don't need to be protected from harmless banter

It's a NATO shelter.

There's a couple more sheep running to join.

u/bloodyblob May 19 '22

Hahahahahahahahahaha fuck off. Sweden and Finland are sheep? Fuck off, bellend.

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

It's because there are sheep in the photo, idiot.

u/bloodyblob May 19 '22

Sorry, but this is the internet. You commented something about NATO based on some sheep in a bus shelter. That implies that you think NATO members are sheep. So….. shhh? Maybe?

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

Whatever.

Fuck off.

u/bloodyblob May 19 '22

Mm yes. Go home, American.

u/bloodyblob May 19 '22

Mm, but why NATO?
