British police say they were called after a string of attacks on red-haired pupils at a school in northern England.
The issue of bullying of red-haired children periodically arises in Britain, and some commentators have attributed the phenomenon to lingering anti-Celtic prejudice.

My hair is not that light red like in the pictures here-it is dark red-more like oak leaves than strawberries, and I don’t have pale skin or freckles-Basque ancestors, not Celtic...
Weird. Prince Harry is a ginger. And a hot one.
I'll see your Amy Adams and raise you Isla Fisher.
(Borat is one lucky SOB)
Well, at least back when he still had hair.
Red. I wear a Liverpool jersey with #6 in honor of the late Emlyn Hughes. At one match v. Leeds United, my mate and I stood on the Spion Kop at Anfield. We also went to a couple of matches at Goodison Park v Everton (Blue). Y N W A.
“The CELTS have been TAMED(brain washed).........”
Not this one and not my red-neck relatives in Tennessee. :)
When I was in high school, we had a player on our team, that we nicknamed “Keegan” because he looked just like Kevin Keegan (at that time he’d already left for Hamburg, though)
But I became an Everton fan because of Tim Howard, and when Landon Donovan went there. I didn’t want to take the easy way out and just pick a “Big Four” team.
Recently I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube videos about the 70s era....I am fascinated by Brian Clough (of course I watched “The Damned United”), He was just a great interview, although it’s sad in his latter years the demon alcohol got to him. What a shame he never became England manager.
This is very weird - apparently, red hair is a fairly recent mutation and maybe this is humanity trying to suppress it.

I have, or at least had, blond hair.
Time to return to shillelaghs and broadswords. Limping blond brunette Brits holding their would go a long way to stopping this kind of bullying.
I saw Tim Howard play back in 1996 for a local semi-pro team called the NJ Imperials. He was just out of HS. I use to see him at minor league baseball games when he played for the Metrostars in the MLS.
LOL
It’s that cold and piercing left ginger eye
Haunting me all day and night
Looking right into my soul and seeing
My naked fear

THREE WORDS.
Good hard. And the third is unprintable.
LOL, that’s you lost 99.9% of the FR world.
As you know, Glasgow Rangers are my beloved team. Red, white and blue till I die.
