THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

KATIE HOPKINS: If Britain is prepared to provide an all-inclusive resort service for asylum seekers, the least they can do is wear a bloody wristband

I went on an all-inclusive holiday once. Much to my surprise, it was great.
We knew exactly what we were paying before we left and didn't spend a penny whilst we were away.
And the kids loved it. All they had to do to get a free drink or hot dog in the middle of the day was show their little coloured band – and somehow they felt they were getting away with something.
They were quite proud of their red wristbands and wished life was more like that every day of their little lives.
Well guess what good people of Britain? For some people it is. The Great British Asylum seekers have landed on their feet here in the land of plenty – El Dorado – because all they need to do to get hold of free food and drink throughout the day is show a red band.
Just as with any holiday booking they can even choose between self-catering options, with a supermarket cash card thrown in for free, or full board – served just a short stroll from their accommodation.
All they have to do is show their wristband. And it's theirs for the taking.
At least, that's what was on offer until today?
Now at this point you might think our government had seen sense. And decided never in human history had so much been given to so many by the labour of so few.
But no. That's just how most of us feel struggling to get to work in the dark and the rain. We don't have a voice.

Now these wristbands are to be scrapped and the Labour MP for Central Cardiff is going to petition the government to find out why it was ever allowed in the first place.
Listen, love. The reason we need wristbands is because many of these asylum seekers have no identification of their own. And the reason they have no identification is because they lobbed it over the side of their inflatable when they crossed the Mediterranean from Turkey.
To claim asylum they needed to be Syrian. And to prove this, it was important not to arrive with a passport and paperwork showing you are actually a cabbie from Ankara.
Dignity is not something you deserve but something you are born with and can easily give away. I lost mine on a few, well-documented occasions but have regained some by paying my own way in life, making sure my children try hard at school and cleaning my own toilets.

I'd argue, many asylum seekers gave their dignity away in the rush to get to the land of plenty.
So many of the liberal left, made rich through London property and high salaries, believe the taxpayer can continue to give, providing a limitless resource to be plundered at will.
But for British workers grafting on an average wage, the burden of tax falls heavily on their shoulders.
Someone in my favourite profession – scaffolding – might earn £30K a year and hand over £7,000 of that to the tax man. Giving away nearly a quarter of your income before you pay your mortgage and Sainsbury's bills feels a lot more painful than the indignity of wearing a red wristband or living behind a red door.

Even those bastions of euro-tolerance, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark now take the valuables of asylum seekers and migrants in order to help fund their costs of living.
They are clear that your own resources must be exhausted before the state provides support.
The federal government's integration minister said it also includes family jewellery.
'Even if some prejudices persist – you don't have it any better as an asylum seeker than someone on unemployment benefit.'
It strikes me, there is not just an increasing divide between asylum seekers and native Brits, but a yawning gulf between politicians and workers paying to keep them in a job.
There is no dignity in taking from others. There should only be gratitude. However, there is dignity in working hard and providing for your family.
And before some droopy left-winger argues asylum seekers are not allowed to get a job here in the UK, I will remind them there is exceptional dignity in defending your own country, something which seems to have passed most of these able young men by.

"A democracy where you musn't rock the boat Stan" says who RF?

Answer

Jean-Claude Junker said early in 2015: “There can be no democratic choice against European Treaties.”

That's who Stan.

Good on you, Katie H.

jimmy b - 26 Jan 2016 16:46 - 67363 of 81564

It's ok we are very near to voting out of the EU , just about everyone i talk to from all walks of life have had enough .

First we will have to endure the bombardment of stay in material from Cameron and many establishments who have their own interests at heart.

Farage will be very important in the coming months along with Euro sceptics from all parties ..

2517GEORGE - 26 Jan 2016 16:51 - 67364 of 81564

We will then be asked to vote again jb, and perhaps again after that.

jimmy b - 26 Jan 2016 17:41 - 67365 of 81564

Why GEORGE ????

Calm down George RF was jumping between topics I was referring to his BBC thread and not any other and I stand by that.

A Brazilian Wife "it"? bet she's good at womens football then -):

"I think criminal behaviour in buggering young boys is up the scale from being a ratbag and not recognising a daughter. Presumably Parkinson had to pay maintenance at the very least."

And who makes the laws? party Politicians from the 2/3 largest right wing parties (when in government) ..thats the problem about saying that only laws are totally unacceptable for a public servant to commit and if there not then well "it's alright then" which seems to be the line.

I would suggest the 2 examples given are both clearly wrong in most reasonable peoples eyes weather they are laws or not.

Its out of control , the UK should have complete lock down on any entering the UK and deporting those who abuse our laws. And have complete background check's on those coming here, and a points system that UKIP has asked for.

The bigger picture is that this illegal immigrant shambles is going to make people vote for leaving the EU.....and who can blame them....something has to be done...I reckon that people are employing these migrants in the catering business...on farms ...etc..and paying them nothing...so there is some unpunished dodgy people trafficking going on !..

2517GEORGE - 27 Jan 2016 09:58 - 67372 of 81564

Sorry for the tardy reply jimmy b, your post 67366----It's what the EU does if the vote is not to their liking.

2517GEORGE - 27 Jan 2016 10:01 - 67373 of 81564

A piece from Moneyweek's Capital & Conflict

Former Polish deputy minister Leszek Balcerowicz made it clear that ‘Brexit’ would trigger a punishing response by the EU. Britain would be made an example of to prevent ‘Brexit’ from giving any other countries ideas. The former deputy minister said:

We should not encourage other populist forces campaigning on exit such as National Front in France or Podemos in Spain. This is a very important consideration. This is in the interests of Europe that we do not encourage other EU countries to leave. The common interest of remaining members is to deter other exits. This should have an impact on the terms Britain gets.

GEORGE , i think the EU is close to falling apart anyway ,look at my link 67367 .

2517GEORGE - 27 Jan 2016 11:16 - 67375 of 81564

Interesting read JB, it goes to show how together (not) the member countries are, whether it is right or wrong to abandon Greece now I don't know, but let's not forget they allowed Greece to join the EU when they (Greece) did not fulfill the required criteria.
The EU can wave cheerio to any Greek loans now I reckon.
2517

jimmy b - 27 Jan 2016 11:32 - 67376 of 81564

Europe should be down there helping to keep their (Greece) border safe instead of telling them to sort it out themselves .
Europe could come together and man it's borders if it so wished .

ExecLine - 27 Jan 2016 13:02 - 67377 of 81564

If we were to leave the EU then London would could well lose lots of its importance.

I love to hear Farage explaining all his stuff but a Brexit isn't a done deal yet, IMHO.

jimmy b - 27 Jan 2016 13:10 - 67378 of 81564

I don't agree with that statement ( London would could well lose lots of its importance)
Exec other than the EU are saying we should be punished if we leave ,which just about sums up Juncker .Tusk and the EU .

From the Leave EU website ..

21 January 2016

Responding to the Prime Minister's speech in Davos, Leave.EU CEO Liz Bilney said:

"The fact that the Prime Minister is begging for international corporations to stick their noses into our democratic process only shows how little he and the elite care for ordinary British citizens. This referendum is about our needs, not theirs."

"The Prime Minister's only spoke of economic reasons for remaining, none of which which are dependent on our membership of the EU. His negotiation will do nothing to solve the migration crisis, the steel crisis, the flooding crisis or whatever the next inevitable EU crisis may be. Only through Britain regaining control of its laws, its borders and its taxes can we begin to avoid those EU crises and solve their problems we inherit.

"The remain campaign may have establishment characters from the past, such as Mandelson, Kinnock and Tony Blair. But what they don't have are any valid reasons for staying in beyond the vested interests of their paymasters. With them now being joined by Wall Street bankers Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan this debate is gearing up to be the establishment versus the people."
