Property developer who bought a house in Wales but says 'anti-English racists' smashed his windows 46 times and told him 'f*** off where you belong'
A property developer says he is being hounded out of a Welsh town by anti-English racists after his historic court house was repeatedly targeted by vandals.
Aaron Hill claims his windows have been smashed 46 times, graffiti has been daubed over his walls and people have even urinated through his letter box.
The businessman, from Burton-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, bought the former magistrates court in Caernarfon, north Wales and moved in after converting it into a five-bedroom home.
The former social worker said: 'I have been told: "You need to f*** off where you belong. We don't want you here. We'll burn the place down".'
Says oldest person to target home was '65-year-old man' walking to pub with his wife

Disgusting.
Racism toward the English in both Wales and Scotland needs to be addressed. It's something that's repeatedly brushed over far too easily.

The police don't
North Wales Police said they have recorded 11 incidents against Mr Hill in the last year including seven for criminal damage, two for theft and two for anti-social behaviour.
A police spokesman said: 'Local officers are aware of these incidents and have mounted operations to try and apprehend the culprits.'
It's something that has happened many times before in the past, and I agree with the OP, it doesn't get much attention. It's as though racism doesn't matter if the English are the target.
An electric powered guillotine?
I'm not willing to believe everything the Daily Mail says.
But, I do have similar sentiments to yourself.
A nice idea, but probably too far into the GBH territory for me. But I'd guess a big fat 48 volt DC shock on the cock would dissuade the most determined phantom pisser:D
Or maybe even just an electric chain saw.
Edit: Ah, I've just seen that MAW is going for the tame option.
If the Daily Mail is too suspect for you, you can also read the story in:
WalesOnLine
The South Wales Evening Post
The Times
North Wales Police say they are aware of the incidents, but have not recorded them as hate crimes.
Why not?
Unfortunately, from first hand experience, there seems to be no shortage of blatantly anti-English people in Caernarfonshire, which is a shame because the coast around there is beautiful.
Because it held onto its language, laws and customs for far longer than Cornwall (sadly) was able to.
Do you enjoy unremittingly barging into all these threads with examples of monumental ignorance?
Maybe you didn't see the question marks, I wasn't sure hence why I was hoping someone would explain it
It would be interesting to hear the other side, and perhaps find what he has done to arouse such a vehement response... not that such a response is acceptable anyway.
Having read the other thread on Welsh speakers today, I'm not at all surprised. Much better to pretend these things couldn't possibly happen. ^_^
Well my response explained the basics. More may be found by googling or looking at the Wiki entry for Wales.
(If I were the journalist here and putting forward a story playing up racism then the first thing I'd be doing would be contacting other English people in the vicinity and asking them about their experiences in order to develop the story. However this is the DM so I suppose I shouldn't expect so much...)
26 incidents reported to the Police.
Car vandalised.
When does it not become "overhyped?"
Indeed, Wales was/is a country with its own King. Cornwall, Wessex, Anglia, Mercia, cumbria and so on were all regions in their own right but the term "country" shouldn't really be applied to the regions because "country" is relatively a modern term when you compare it to the ancient history of these islands. Cornwall has now, though regained its official identity.
If so, it is a rather iconic building and saw the trials of many activists over the years, especially in the 1960s.
I can imagine it'd grate in Caernarfon to have it sold and developed, but I guess that'd be the fault of whatever body oversees the country's courts.
I think he's just a wind up merchant myself:D
This is a serious issue, as any kind of hate crime must be dealt with. However, it is NOT racist. The English, welsh , Scottish & Irish are not distinct races apart, lets knock that nonsense straight on the head. A different culture does not indicate a different race, we are all white north Europeans ok? Having said that, i despise those people in our neighbouring nations, who moan about our so called prejudice, only to display similar to us at the least provocation>:(
