And I understand that, in Hereford, according to an ancient charter which is still on the Statute Books and ergo part of the Constitution, it is still obligatory for all citizens to shoot a Welshman with a crossbow if he is seen in the grounds of the Cathedral.

But do Welshmen get peppered with arrows like pincushions by the local burghers of Hereford? No, they don't. The point is that, if you are remotely fair, you have to admit that all of these things were not just "in the past", but more than 1000 years ago. Do you have any concept of how long a thousand years is?

You might as well run a vindictive and spiteful campaign against the Italians on the grounds that they brutally occupied Britain in A.D. 44, or whenever it was. Or perhaps South Indians should rise up against the North because of the Aryan Invasions of 1500 BC? And the the North Indians declare war on Iran because of the Mughal Invasion in the 16th Century? Personally, I think that we should all destroy Africa, because those bloody Homo Sapiens have now 'conquered' every part of the globe.
