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.

Now! here's a thought . . . .

If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, try this:

a.. Go to Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense. Just show up

b.. Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.

c.. Demand bilingual nurses and doctors...

d. Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc.

e.. Procreate abundantly.

f.. Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behaviour with, 'It is a cultural thing; you wouldn't understand.'

g.. Keep your original identity strong. Fly your national flag from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window, or on your car bumper.

h.. Speak only English at home and in public, and make sure that your children do likewise.

i.. Demand classes on English culture in the Muslim school system.

j.. Demand a local country driver license or national insurance number equivalent

k.. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorised, illegal, presence in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq

l.. Drive around with no MOT, tax or insurance and ignore local traffic laws.

m.. Insist that local country law enforcement teaches English to all its officers..

n.. Organize protest marches against your host country, inciting violence against non-white, non-Christians, and the government that let you in.

o.. Insist that no trappings of Islam are allowed is schools or places of work as they offend you, but insist that you and your children are allowed to wear crosses at all times.

Good luck! You'll soon be dead.

It would never happen in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq (or any other country in the world for that matter) except in the UK, US, or Canada, because we are run by soft, politically correct politicians that are too scared to 'offend' anyone.

greekman - 22 Jan 2009 08:20 - 7401 of 81564

This is me.

Spot on with every sad word being true. The UK must be the softest touch country in the world. I have though that for many years that our once proud country has been sold down the river. National identity destroyed, countryside, villages disappearing, along with our very way of life. I appreciate that there will always be change but it is obvious that if we go along the lines we are on now, our country will be completely unrecognisable within a very short time.

My 16 year old daughter has come home with 2 bits of homework in the last 2 weeks in her PSRE class. (Personal, Social & Religious Education).
The first was to design a web campaign for Muslim Aid charity. No choice over which charity or religion, and when she questioned this she was branded a bigot!!
The next was to prepare for a class debate on anti-semitism. The strange thing is, they were told that neither side could support the motion that anti-semitism does not exist as this would be wrong. So what are they debating exactly????
Her friend proposed he take the view that it is exagerrated, and the numbers of jews persecuted and killed by Hitler was in fact smaller than the current estimates and these were artificially inflated in order to appease the world when creating Israel.
He never said this was his belief, he was merely debating, and creating a well thought out debate in a class of hoodies and chavs. Good lad. WhaT you say is wrong, but one side of any debate always is. At least you have thought about it and come up with a plausible and acceptable arguement.
No. He was sent to the headmaster to explain his neo-nazi views and subsequently suspended for denying the holocaust.
Education? No. This is brainwashing into the ideals and beliefs of a bunch of vegetarian social workers, with nothing to do but interfere with our lives and insist our food is unleaded and our petrol free range.

greekman - 22 Jan 2009 09:19 - 7403 of 81564

Hi Alan,

Brainwashing exactly. You used the term chavs. Several years ago I attended a cultural diversity course that was so one sided as to be useless. Part of the course was on Gypsies. We were told you should not refer to them as Gypsies as some might prefer the term travellers. I said the term Gypo's and Chavs covered them all. I was told such terms were derogatory. So when I said, "So the term a group of Thieving B*****d's is out then", I was for some reason reprimanded. By the way, I also failed the course. Never quite figured out why.

If you want to see how your council wastes money on self publicity, telling you how good they are go to http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/files/csu2-publicity.pdf.

I am a member of the alliance which is free to join. They just ask for donations, which are completely voluntary. You may have heard of this organisation which is becoming an increasingly loud voice for the tax payer.
They are becoming more influential in political life.

Next best thing to a revolution.

The TPA seem to do a good job keeping us informed but they don't seem to have enough exposure to the masses. Maybe the masses are simply ignorant to what goes on.

I favour all out revolution. Anyone got time to start one?

Alan, what you posted sickened me. It is a reason I keep considering leaving the UK. But what would that solve!

greekman - 22 Jan 2009 12:23 - 7406 of 81564

Rawdm,

I agree, but the more that join the TPA the more voice the will have.

How about this for hypocrisy.

The FSA (presumably because of government pressure) are to get tough on banking regulations.
Part of this toughness is that Special investment vehicles and other tools to move assets off the balance sheet and free up capital would no longer escape regulatory scrutiny.

As this government has moved several items off the balance sheet, including the PFI system, which the Government uses to deliver hospitals, schools and roads, are 25 billion, while Network Rail's debts are 18 billion this is a glaring piece of hypocrisy.
I would like to know just how much this off sheet amount (a bit like hidden debt really, but not the toxic kind) totals to. I bet it is far more than those figure previously mentioned.
One law/rule for some, but not all springs to mind.
Is there no end to this corrupt government.

skinny - 22 Jan 2009 12:41 - 7407 of 81564

Greekman - if you want a wry smile at PFI etc - watch last night's BREMNER, BIRD AND FORTUNE on more4 21:00

greekman - 22 Jan 2009 13:25 - 7408 of 81564

Skinny,

Very funny, a great sketch from these 2 clever performers.
For their best sketch and what I think is one of the funniest and cleverest ever seen, try http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mzJmTCYmo9g
It is their sub prime sketch.
Been posted on here before but well worth a reminder.

skinny - 22 Jan 2009 13:27 - 7409 of 81564

Yes I've watched several times - I just hope Brown and co tune in :-).

greekman - 22 Jan 2009 13:48 - 7410 of 81564

Problem is if GB watched it he would probably believe it was a serious programme like Panorama. When he gave his slip of the tongue, 'when we have saved the world' speech, it became obvious he has no sense of humour, or the communicating skills to make light of it.

skinny - 22 Jan 2009 13:53 - 7411 of 81564

You mean it wasn't a serious programme!

greekman - 22 Jan 2009 14:33 - 7412 of 81564

OK I give in. My brain hurts.

hewittalan6 - 23 Jan 2009 08:04 - 7413 of 81564

Keep it quiet...........a bit of insider information here.

Pedigree Chum are in financial difficulties. They have called in th retrievers............

greekman - 23 Jan 2009 08:11 - 7415 of 81564

Retrievers, really that is a bit far fetched. Get it far fetched, retrieve. OK never mind, keep taking the tablets (Bob Martins probably).

This Thread's gone to the dogs again.

skinny - 23 Jan 2009 08:17 - 7417 of 81564

Woof woof!

skinny - 23 Jan 2009 08:20 - 7418 of 81564

Off down to the coast to retrieve some wood.

greekman - 23 Jan 2009 08:31 - 7419 of 81564
