Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Stan,

They can't emigrate!

Nobody would accept them.


Mind some would be happy in the rat holes like Sangatte.

Fred - "I cannot think of a party leader who has debased politics and much as Cameron in the last 100 years." Well, how about Tony Blair just for starters?!:-)

Go on you right wing rabble.. Pick the bones out of that http://www.emigrate.co.uk/emigration-guides/item-472/top-six-places-to-emigrate

oh do stop whinging stan!

Why don't you and Fred move to Moscow [ I won't email Cleggy and tell him your a friend of Putin ] .

i don't mean you cynic

i think i'm both flattered and extremely grateful!

DB4,

Compared with Blair. Utmmh!

If they were both put in the same sack together and chucked in a pond I am not certain which would get out of the bag first, but I would think there would be a lot of fish floating on the surface.

I think, they certainly are a good advertisements for public school education and high ideals.

I wonder which leg of the trousers they roll up first?

Interesting how the rise in popularity of UKIP coincides with the rise in people admitting that they are racist

that so-called racist poll was one of the most stupid things have ever seen in my life .... it was almost akin to a poll showing that the majority of people think tony blair should be canonised

I certainly know people who openly admit to being racist, especially those that live in areas with serious immigration problems. If you asked me if I was racist, I would say no, but plenty of people would agree.

CHESS TELECOM
i very much hope that none of our "friends" here subscribe through this company.

as a very small example of their sharp practice ......
when your contract expires, should you not agree to renew, they charge you an admin fee of £99.00 (+ VAT no doubt) for closing the account
for doing what exactly???? ..... the account should be de facto closed because it no longer exists

apparently it is all in their so-called T&Cs, no doubt buried somewhere in the minutiae.
almost needless to say, rather like Ryanair, it is effectively impossible to get beyond the first poor sucker who answers the calls

The survey was the British Social Attitudes Survey. It is a highly respected survey conducted by the National Centre for Social Research. They have been surveying social attitudes for 40 years.

would you admit to being a racist even if you were?
bet you wouldn't!
would you want a family of 10 romanians, bulgarians, croatians or even ***** living next door to you?
bet you wouldn't, but does that make you a racist?
no

I wouldn't admit to being racist, but I know people who do admit it.

Define racist?

Anyone who disagree's with your point of view.

Here's the definition.

Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:

I can see why people get annoyed with immigration. There is a huge pressure on services. In some boroughs there are not enough places for children to attend school, waiting lists at GPs have grown due to immigrants bringing health problems. I was in a hospital yesterday and in another today. Yesterday I was in a day treatment facility at the Whittington in Highgate. It was very busy and I was the only ethnically British person there. Today, I was at the Royal Free in Hampstead, which was even busier, with a bigger department. Today, I was probably one of four ethnically British out of at least 60 people. The NHS service was excellent in both cases, but the departments were under considerable pressure with seating running out most of the time.

There may well be economic benefits to immigration, but it doesn't mitigate the harm it does to our services of health, education, housing, law enforcement and general overcrowding.

I thought we called that being democratic, our superior democracy has been the reason for ousting more than one leader in the past, we don't deem ourselves as racists though do we..... but if the shoe fits....
