NOTHING will be done about it by our spineless government . :NoNo:

NONE of the laws that you and I have to obey will have been broken.

The racial hatred card will be played, and the majority indigenous population will be silenced and made to feel guilty about pointing the finger at these peaceful and moderate folk who are contributing so much to British society. :rolleyes:

If you have the temerity to complain you will be told that things have moved on in YOUR 'multi-cultural' country, and that you should change with the times and embrace the 'diversity' our wonderful new society.

The news and views on this will be given to you more likely than not by a news presenter from the Indian sub-continent. :Erm:

I will NOT watch the programme because it will make me feel angry, frustrated and impotent.

Call me racist whatever and i live in Jersey but when my 92 year old Grandmother who worked in munitions during WW2 and my late Granfather who drove tanks and help liberate Belguim struggle{d} for the tiniest bit of help from social whilst certain scum elements { so prevalent in UK society}are taking tax-payer benefits whilst openly pouring scorn on everything the British hold dear. Makes me weep!
Even here in very affluent Jersey we have an immigrant population saying that we should teach their kids in their own native tongue, Jeez the cheek of it! If i choose to live in any other country then i would adapt, if i didn't like it i would shut up and if i could't stand the place i would move!
As we say in Jersey, there's a boat out tomorrow morning.

You incite race hatred and you are just the same as a few people you seek to deride.
You look at the smaller picture and isloated incidents all the time instead of being a responsible person who sees the good in people.

What a nasty, vile and unfounded accusation :cwm23:

Try searching You Tube for Dispatches - Lessons in Hate and Violence and you will see the hatred and intolerance that is spread by these so called faith schools, mosques and madrassas.

If you watch the programme it highlights the fact that 700 (over half) the mosques in the UK follow Deobandi Islam which it is alleged seeks “ to rescue the the global Muslim community from the culture and civilization of the Jews, the Christians and enemies of Islam”

So two topics to check out before you open your mouth with false and scurrilious accusations

1) Deobandi Islam
2) The C4 programme

Also regarding Asian taxi drivers of which there are a few in Harrogate,a lot of people won't use them as they rip off people on a consistent basis and are often caught "cabbing" where they are prohibited.
They have complete dis-respect for white girls and assume they are all sluts:NoNo:
And before you say "racist" It has been witnessed by various taxi drivers in the town.
But that is distracting from the issues the programme was aimed at and i give a lot of credit to the muslims exposing the vile preachers of hate and child abusers which you see nothing wrong with:crazy:

An untrue and uncalled for infantile statement that should be removed, it doesn't surprise me though as you've had similar posts deleted before. I realise you are totally blinded by "multiculturalism" and cannot see the huge part it has played in the making the country end up as the cesspit it is today. Care to comment about the extreme Deobandi Islam that is rife in over 50% of so called "Mosques" ?

You're right Grahamw48, there are many of us here on the forum who have no time for religion in all it's guises and deceptions.

I made many comments in the past lambasting the catholic church in particular for its apparent inflicted horrors concerning abuse, which weren't isolated incidents but were seemingly global and endemic.

Those bar stewards in the muslim faith schools who assaulted children should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law as should every adult who assaults minors in their care, whether it be in a school or anywhere else.

I don't think the muslim teachers will get away with it. It was just awful to see all the kids flinching and cowering anytime they got near to one particular "teacher".

The good thing about the show was that other muslim teachers from other schools were as equally appalled when they saw the footage, and the conclusion of the female reporter was that if this type of brainwashing would only cause the UK to reap what we sow.

J - Just for the sake of good order and before you get daubed with the racist brush by our intellectual newly wed's chum I think it might be advisable to edit your post to read " likes of fundamental and extreme Muslims"

Now he has jumped on Grahams post to suddenly agree it's all wrong what we saw in the program,but the shark made no comment but to call me a racist in his first post.
Aposhark you are now seeking cronies and wish to be seen as deploring the actions which I pointed out to you but you chose to ignore.
As we all know a multi-cultural society has not worked and will never work in this country while these schools and mosques preach their hatred,we do not have to live with it.
I have no problem with colour,creed or religion if it's not extreme and you abide by the countries laws and traditions you reside in.
But those people who wish us harm and want to alter our society into something else perhaps following the laws of Islam I will never agree to and will oppose it totally.
I actually chat to some of the Asian taxi drivers some of them are decent guys and I have no problem with,they certainly don't get under my skin at all.

I see you and your pal are singing from the same hymn sheet with the unnecessary use of the racist taunt.

For the uninitiated it used to be New Labour SOP that anyone critical of Multiculturalism, Uncontrolled Immigration, Foreign Criminals and Muslim Extremists was branded a "racist".

These two clowns have failed to realise that Labour belatedly stopped that policy sometime in 2009 when they woke up and realised Mr Joe U.K. Public had seen through it and they were on course to be slung out of Government.

For me it becomes offensive when it is used to portay as "bad" a complete group of people be it Muslims Roman Catholics Chinese or Philipinas.

I dont personaly subscibe to religion but have no problem with those that do as long as they dont try to inpinge on my personal liberty,s similarly if you continualy caracturise whole groups of people as wanting to destroy some mythical "US" I will draw attention to your lazy and vindictive thought processes nomatter how you dress them up.

I don't need Graham to validate my thoughts, I agree with some of his posts, he seems balanced to me.

lestaxi1, if you lose all perspective like Dedworth and continue to highlight isolated incidents instead of looking at the bigger picture, you can't really be shocked if some people disagree with you.
"Real World"? :doh
This multi-cultural society is the UK - now. It is what you, me and everyone in the UK lives in. The people in the mosques who stepped out of line will be punished.

Unfortunately it is the isolated incidents that are the thorns in the side of 'normal' peaceful societies, and as history has shown again and again, eventually result in civil conflict, if not all-out war.

Some people choose to bury their heads in the sand, some to appease, some to forewarn.

Yes of course they do as history has shown but luckily more and more decent folk see what's happening and are getting tired of all these demands and Islamic crap shoved in our faces,I honestly believe it's one of the reasons why there had not been a major incident for a while.
I think the extremists know the tide will turn if they decide to do another 9/11 or 7/7 at this time.

These issues are all in our UK backyard so I expect the Govt to do what they were elected for and sort out the mess left behind by the socialists - for that reason I write to Theresa May and local and national newspapers to highlight the numerous failings and what I expect to be done. For example I demanded the sacking of the inept UKBA Officer who instructed that suspected drugs swallowers were not to be stopped during the snowy weather.

The apologist culture of political correctness, multi culturalism, human rights, roll over and accept it etc needs to be ripped away layer by layer

The section Dedworth posted in is for any subject matter as confirmed in the past by Keith.
So according to your rules the documentary in question made by Asians must be Racist then!
What Dedworth is saying and I agree and do plenty of members on here that there is a growing Islamic movement preaching hatred and division to large groups of people.
This is already in this country and of course you are aware that the 7/7 bombers used mosques to hold their planning of bombing meetings?
It is not racist to discuss these things and be appalled at what we see.

Where have I ever lumped foreigners together other than crims, asylum seekers and the enemy within that is the topic of this thread.

Isn't it strange that we never see reports about girl grooming, bombings, insult and rejection of UK values by nationals of countries such as France, Malaysia, Brazil, China, Italy, Hungary, USA, Philippines - surely these counties must export their fair share of perverts, 'ner do wells, extremists etc over here or maybe that's all swept under the carpet ?

Still it's all sticks and stones, maybe people shouldn't be so eager to dish out the racist jibe - Oh sorry I forgot that was a standard Labour Party tactic until the politburo decided otherwise when it knew the game was up. What did Bottler Brown call that woman ? A bigot wasn't it ?

It hasn't been said already, before there was any chance to discuss any of the issues raised on the programme it was hijacked with predictable racist accusations.

Those who watched it would have seen the former MP for Keighley and a Chief OFSTED Inspector indicate that the Mosque and School concealed what was going on.

Does anyone seriously think that I/we are not aware of racial discrimination and intolerance ? :rolleyes:

It has everything to do with genuinely felt concerns by some members, who perhaps are not ready to be brainwashed into accepting the 'politically-correct' utopian society envisaged by other members in their naive daydreams.

These are my wonderful children, for whom I have made many personal sacrifices in order to give them a good life...a nice selection for a 'racist':

These and the thousands before them have made it possible to have a 'great life' here in the UK.

Are you anywhere near the Alum Rock Mosque if I'm not mistaken that's featured in a documentary or two ?I'll leave it as it is. A racist in my eyes is someone who has hatred for everyone who's of a different race to them such as white supremists. It just seems nowadays someone makes a comment about a person of a different race and they get branded one. It's getting so stupid now, a kid at some school has been branded a racist for calling a fellow pupil 'Chocolate Brownie' even though this kid is white and has Brown as his surname. :doh

As for Alum Rock, I live the other side of the city now although I did live in Asian communities such as Sparkbrook & Small Heath, the area where the school on the programme is.

Well at last I'm glad many of you have posted on here as myself and Dedworth were being called racists on here for daring to highlight the programme and the social problems we face.
We were being told we were the only 2 people on here with these views in not so many words so it's good to see some support from the forum members.

We are not racists but do not like the many changes imposed on us and the cruelty of extreme Islamic idiots and the slow eradication of our old values which made the country a once great nation.

Some people don't even listen and just call you a racist,others shrug their shoulders and say it's not their problem.

Well one day it may be!
One other thing often pointed out also is that we don't see good in people,only take a snapshot of problems etc etc.

I am a very happy person,get along with everybody and am well liked (or so I'm told):icon_lol:
I will always help people,I give to charity etc,etc
I do take exception to people featured in that documentary and would happily of planted one on the chin of that child abuser if I had been within 2 foot of him,I don't think thats the actions of a racist.

I wonder how the British public ever allowed things to go so far?
Cant imagine the French or even the Filipino`s ever letting their governments go against the peoples wishes to such an extent.

That is one of our defining qualities Fred, not something that was necessarily there throughout our entire history but it is a part of our national character that I grew up with and something I value greatly.

The question now is what do we want to lose, we can be reactionary and play to the agenda of the enemies of our way of life, or we can try to rise above simplistic reactionary politics and be something better.

I am not a religious man but I have always had great respect for the Christian notion of turning the other cheek, for that I will doubtless be flamed by others.

Jim..I understand what you mean perfectly.
The problem for me Jim is thats what many of us have been doing for years.
Turning the other cheek and being true to our tolerant nature..Just getting on with it ,stiff upper lip and all that..
But with what reward?
For me,it seems that our out of touch Politicians have been misrepresenting us for so long now that we are regarded by the world as a nation of soft touches..
Look at the type of thing that has happened as a consequence since.. When I got married 22 years ago,my wife was with me in the UK 2 weeks later..End of story..And why not?? It was my right!!!!
I felt quite proud as I introduced her to the UK back then!
These days we have good honest guys like Alan who are still stuck in Cebu as its the only way after 3 years of marriage he can be with his wife..Not to mention the many sad distances that separate many of the Brit-Fil married membership here..
Then we hear more stories of another sector of extremist immigrants that are free to live in the UK that treat our tolerance with contempt!
Hey!!! Rant over...I can feel the old demonic emotions coming back..
One of the reasons I left.:icon_lol::icon_lol:

JimOttley
17th February 2011, 05:11
There is no reward Fred only the knowledge that you are true to yourself.

If we stop trying then the one thing we can be sure of is that the forces of the manipulatable reactionary minority will be twisted against the long term interests of the majority of reasonable people.

Our problems with our politicians are another issue and a major one at that, as a young man I will freely admit that I was so clueless that I would not have known how to even begin to evaluate whether our politicians were acting for themselves or even paying lip service to the notion that we are all in this together, for the greater good and so on. I did have an emotional response to what was going on in the 80's though and not a good response I might say :)

It is probably even harder for the young folk today to get to grips with politics and as we all know there is great apathy when it comes to political debate in the UK these days.

We need to solve these kinds of problem first otherwise those who desire to see the end of our way of life have already won and it is only a matter of time before all the doom-sayers prophesy's come true.

Lets deal with the politics first, somehow. Simply reacting against the news headlines won't fix anything it only increases the polarisation in our country.

I'll PM you on your "two weeks" point, i wasn't aware :(

Alan, well I've met Alan, really good bloke and like me he is a victim of the system and that is a system that is not getting any better largely because of the perceived problems with our immigration policy that have encouraged tighter and tighter controls.

Relax friend Fred, you escaped ;) I'm sorry to have resurrected some of the old demons.

Wow busy thread lots of replys

First D what exactly did you find to be malisious? all i did was made your post reflect the equal horrors of aspiring to a good life but unfortunatly being in Bagdad on that date when the "smart bombs" rained down

For me its all the same no matter if your a family suffering loss there or in London Its also in my view true that past behaviour leads to cause and effect consiquences that indeed may have unfortunate and terrible affects on ordinary folks lives.I could therefor wholeheartedly agree with you as im sure would you with me:rolleyes:

The problems of living in our Country today unfortunatly dont have easy answers and I notice my own nostalgic feelings to the time when every year was better than the year that passed it Although I can also remember the terror felt by the family at the threat of nuclear war.

No system that runs as ours will be able to act other than as the fire brigade running from blaze to blaze much more worrying is the kind of protectionist view that circulates always looking to keep the threat level high and devide us from what should be our common cause to gether as humans, our kids all have the latest gadgets whilst countless million struggle and die from lack of basic nessesaties like clean drinkingwater.

The household corporations responcible to none but their share holders move production to whereever its cheapest and ensure that wages for ordinary people in the UK require benifits after there 40 hours just to pay the bills, that wasnt the case when most of us entered the workforce.

If its true that our society is being manipulated then you can be sure that the perpatrators are white, public school boys with an agenda of devision and profit and not because of the 12% non white population has somehow taken over, We are a patient lot bye and large but lets be clear where the anger we may feel belongs self serving M.P.s and Lords, Bankers who rob our pensions
not simarlarly abused brown people with diferent roots.

Racism is of course alive and well here in the Phils to both local folk and longnoses and once you have been on the recieving end it may change your world view.

I think the best plan for the world would be where no frontiers existed unfortunatly that may yet come true but not from any liberal intention to share our resources its up to each one of us to decide what will happen and the legacy we will leave our kids and grandkids and drawing attention to the hate for people who may be seen as different is the first step.

You are dead right gWaPito there is so much that has gone wrong with no fabric to society.It is not about tolerance it is about having no backbone morally or otherwise and allowing the scum, crims ,chancers to gain the upper hand and walk all over us. Past and present governments are to blame particularly the last shower of sh1t.

We need a drastic overhaul of the immigration system, withdrawl from all human rights conventions replaced by a British bill of rights, prison regimes made harsher and a possible reintroduction of corporal and capital punishment - the germs need to understand who's in charge.

The guys with all the flowery words surely could see further than the end of there nose? My cupboard is not that full of them but, I could see it. There are many nice lovely people who would love to come here, whats the answer, let them all over then cross that bridge when we come to it? Does the tax payer support them?

A number of posters on this thread need to cheer up and be thankful for what they've got! Their talk of this country going down the pan is an exaggeration and some suggestions to fix it are sinister to say the least!

In my opinion, we are lucky to live in one of the greatest countries on earth. We have freedom of speech, a high standard of living, good education system, free healthcare, a democratic government, low crime levels and many other benefits.

I admit that there are many problems, but these are in a different league to those faced by people in other parts of the world, who are struggling with poverty, war, disease and corrupt leadership.

I will quote a verse of Burns as an indicator of where I come from and the values I hold dear. By the way my father agreed with Powell in the 60's even then as a child under 10 years old I felt uncomfortable with my fathers views.

This is the English translation of the last verse as some of the old scots words can be a bit hard even for the best of us -


Then let us pray that come it may
(As come it will for a' that)
That Sense and Worth over all the earth
Shall have the first place and all that!
For all that, and all that,
It is coming yet for all that,
That man to man the world over
Shall brothers be for all that.

There are plenty of positive posts on here,but this is a difficult thread due to it's content.
It's proven to be a very interesting and much read and debated post and that's a healthy situation.
There are many advantages of the UK of course but many things deteriorating too and we should not close our eyes to this.

A number of posters on this thread need to cheer up and be thankful for what they've got! Their talk of this country going down the pan is an exaggeration and some suggestions to fix it are sinister to say the least!

In my opinion, we are lucky to live in one of the greatest countries on earth. We have freedom of speech, a high standard of living, good education system, free healthcare, a democratic government, low crime levels and many other benefits.

I admit that there are many problems, but these are in a different league to those faced by people in other parts of the world, who are struggling with poverty, war, disease and corrupt leadership.

So how about a positive post or two? :xxgrinning--00xx3:

FactCheck: Enoch Powell's 1968 speech
By Channel 4 News Updated on 07 April 2008
Forty years ago, Conservative politician Enoch Powell made one of the most controversial speeches in British history - and effectively ended his political career.
The 'Rivers of Blood' speech outlined his fears at the numbers of immigrants coming into Britain, and their impact on society as he knew it.

FactCheck looks at some of the claims in his speech, and how they compared to the wider picture then and now.

All quotes are from Enoch Powell's speech (http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/dispatches/rivers%2bof%2bblood%2bspeech/1934152.html) to the Conservative Association meeting in Birmingham, 20 April 1968.
The elderly widow
"'Eight years ago in a respectable street in Wolverhampton a house was sold to a Negro. Now only one white (a woman old-age pensioner) lives there. This is her story...'"
Powell tells the story, which he quoted from a letter, of one of his constituents - a widow whose sons had died in the war. The unidentified woman had taken boarders in at her seven-bed house, but gradually her white tenants had left, and she refused to let rooms to immigrants.

Powell recounted how "negroes" abused her at 7am when she refused to let them use her phone. "She is becoming afraid to go out," quoted Powell. "Windows are broken. She finds excreta pushed through her letterbox."

The emotive tale touched a nerve, but who was the woman? Powell steadfastly refused to identify her, writing to a Labour MP: "I never disclose ... particulars likely to assist in the identification of constituents ... whose cases I may use to illustrate circumstances."

When grilled on television in January 1969 by David Frost, Powell was repeatedly asked whether he had verified the story. He deflected the questions, saying instead that he had "verified the source" and hadn't the slightest doubt the story was true, and typical.


Had Powell got his facts right or could he have fallen prey to National Front propaganda?
So had Powell got his facts right or could he have fallen prey to National Front propaganda? Local and national press at the time tried to track down the elderly widow, but to no avail.

Last year, the Radio 4 programme Document enlisted a historian to help sift through the paper trail. They narrowed it down to around 200 women who matched criteria such as having lived in the same street for years, being widowed during the war.

The search narrowed down to one woman: Drucilla Cotterill, a homeowner in Brighton Place, then aged 68, who had been taking in lodgers for some years.

Most of the pieces fit, although Cotterill didn't match up completely: she didn't have a telephone, or lose sons during the war.

The BBC interviewed former child residents of Brighton Place, who remembered excrement being put through a letterbox, and a dead dog being put through a window. However, other evidence suggested that things were far more friendly.

"It is hard to know exactly what his constituents were saying to him at the time," said Robert Pearce, a former professor of modern history and author of Enoch Powell, a biography out later this year. "But if it were a real person, it seems unlikely that it was all accurate."
Party policy?
"The answers to the simple and rational question are equally simple and rational: by stopping, or virtually stopping, further inflow, and by promoting the maximum outflow. Both answers are part of the official policy of the Conservative party."
Although some quarters of the party welcomed Powell's speech, he took things a fair jump further than the official party line in calling for the "maximum outflow" of immigrants.

As the 1966 election manifesto shows, moves to allow immigrants to go back were strictly voluntary: the party would, it said, "help immigrants already here to rejoin their families in their countries of origin, or to return with their families to these countries, if they so wish".

As party leader Edward Heath in his statement on Powell's dismissal from the shadow cabinet:

"I have repeatedly emphasised that the policy of the Conservative party is that immigration must be most strictly limited and that immigrants wishing to return to their own countries should be financially helped to do so. But everyone already in the country must be treated as equal before the law."
Migration numbers
"In 15 or 20 years, on present trends, there will be in this country three and a half million Commonwealth immigrants and their descendants. That is not my figure. That is the official figure given to parliament by the spokesman of the Registrar General's Office."
As we'll see in the next claim, if anything Powell seems to have underestimated the numbers of immigrants that would come to Britain. But at the time, his three and a half million figure was the kind of dubious statistical representation that gets FactCheck's calculator burning.

As Bill Smithies and Peter Fiddick pointed out in a 1969 analysis of Powell's speech, the 3.5 million estimate was given in a parliamentary answer to the anti-immigration MP Sir Cyril Osborne.

He had asked in June 1967 for the government's estimate of the present and likely future coloured population of Britain if the current rate of immigration and immigrant fertility continued - both of which were unlikely to happen owing to newly imposed controls on immigration, and because fertility rates were expected to decline as an immigrant group got more settled and grew older.

Still, on this basis, the government gave estimates of one million in 1966, 1.75 million in 1975 and 3.5 million in 1985, although these needed to be taken with caution.


If anything Powell seems to have underestimated the numbers of immigrants that would come to Britain.
According to official statistics, it's estimated that 472,500 new Commonwealth immigrants entered Britain between 1955 and 1962, when Commonwealth citizens became subject to immigration control and counting procedures were tightened up. There were then around Commonwealth 60,000 immigrants a year throughout the sixties.

In 1968, there were a total of 84,470 immigrants in 1968, 64,380 of them from the Commonwealth. In 1969, the number declined to 48,090; in 1970, 42,380, before peaking at 72,510 (when laws changed).

"There is no comparable official figure for the year 2000, but it must be in the region of five to seven million, approximately one-tenth of the whole population, and approaching that of Greater London."

Never mind dependants born in the UK: according to 2001 census data, 4.9 million of the UK's population was born overseas, more than double the 2.1 million in 1951.

The decade up to 2001 saw the biggest increase in the post-war years in foreign-born population: 1.1 million, nearly double the 600,000 increase between 1961 and 1971.

However, the majority of immigrants nowadays come from Europe, rather than the Commonwealth. And what Powell didn't anticipate was the rise in short-stay migration: just over a third of foreign-born migrants who came to the UK in the nineties left the country within four years of arrival.

According to the 2001 census, 87 per cent, or around seven in eight, of England's population described their ethnicity as white British.
Rivers of blood
"As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood'."
Just as no one in Casablanca actually says "Play it again, Sam," this is the closest the "Rivers of Blood" speech actually gets to its common title. What's the story behind the line that cemented Powell's reputation for racist rhetoric?

Powell is quoting a prophecy from Virgil's Aeneid, a Roman epic telling the mythological tale of the founding of Rome.

On arriving in Italy after many trials and tribulations, the Trojan warrior Aeneas consults a priestess, the Sibyl, to find out how his plans to create the new empire will turn out.

Her reply includes the line quoted by Powell: she tells Aeneas that in the process of creating Rome, she saw wars and the River Tiber foaming with blood.


'If it was any old person, you might think they'd just picked a line they liked the sound of and used it, but Powell was one of the best classicists of the twentieth century ... He'd have been well aware of the meaning of the line.'
Mary Beard, professor of classics at the University of Cambridge
"She was saying that you're going to found a multicultural, cosmopolitan state - and in the eyes of the Romans, Rome was the greatest civilisation - but it will be a painful process," said Mary Beard, professor of classics at the University of Cambridge.

Could this suggest a slightly more measured view of immigration - which may bring necessary problems in order to achieve a greater end - than the rest of Powell's speech?

There are other examples of rivers being used in Roman literature as a metaphor for mixed nationalities, giving the idea of a flood of new people coming in - although Powell's quote comes specifically from the Aeneid.

"If it was any old person, you might think they'd just picked a line they liked the sound of and used it, but Powell was one of the best classicists of the twentieth century," said Beard. "He'd have been well aware of the meaning of the line."

Either way, any nuances of the Latin were lost on Powell's audience.

Like you Fred and like many hundreds of thousands before, our wife's etc got there visas because we were in gain full employment. Its a simply formula. Many have gone into work they dislike for a number of months to get the pay checks to get the visa. Surely 6 months of a not so good job, is a small price to pay to get your partner here. The guys with all the flowery words surely could see further than the end of there nose? My cupboard is not that full of them but, I could see it. There are many nice lovely people who would love to come here, whats the answer, let them all over then cross that bridge when we come to it? Does the tax payer support them? Its the government protecting the tax payer. I hope i dont sound harsh, its not men't if it does.

I used to work 6 months jobbing (self employed) around the country and then off to various countries for the next 6 months.. After I got married I had about a 50 quid left and had to borrow some money from my Mum to pay the wife's airfare.. I left and went straight back to work painting & decorating trying to get some cash to rent a room before she arrived.. It was a bit tight but managed to get everything sorted for her arrival in the UK..
When she arrived we both went to work..Simple as that.
These days FORGET IT!!!! I`d have no chance.. With cheap labour walking visa free through immigration every day,filling the UK building sites up with cheap labour,I wouldn't stand a chance..:NoNo:
No wonder why the rules for spouce visas have changed..First they have to check if the Brit husband can compete with the crowds of Europeans they let in!!
You couldnt make it up!

Yep, anyone can find work if they really look hard enough and are willing to lower their expectations if it pays the bills.
The world is full of people who feel they are too good to work their "fingers to the bone".

The immigrants in the UK work very hard and there are many thousands of British people who want easy jobs given to them on a plate.

To your first point "In modern usage an aphorism is generally understood to be a concise statement containing a subjective truth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth) or observation cleverly and pithily written."

I note your sense of humour is diferent to mine you might have recognised the basic humanity in the transferance of your words and simply agreed that it was just as valid. Ordinary people dead in Bagdad in the past may well lead to ordinary people dead in London both are equal tradgedy,s

I wouldn't call it controversial this type of topic has always been acceptable on "Loose Talk, Chat and Off Topic" - merely a TV Doc that exposed the promotion of extremism and separation that was was going on behind closed doors at a mosque and "faith" school with a bit of child abuse thrown in for good measure. Very shortly the insulting "racist" accusation was thrown in which is the usual response from persons of a certain political persuasion to those calling into question the multicultural dungheap also known as the United Kingdom.

I do apologise for that I wasn't,actually called a racist but this comment by Aposhark is tantamount to the same thing "You incite race hatred and you are just the same as a few people you seek to deride"
So actually looking back on that it is actually worse than being called a racist.
The people I seek to deride are Islamic extremists and child abusers and I'm the same as that am I:crazy:

Apo I suggest you look through your selective quotes again. Radio 4 did track down a lady and to quote 'all the pieces fit except her have a phone and her losing sons in the war'. The tv networks like today still have there own agendas Lets remind ourselves of Blair and his lies and even bigger crime in my eyes. Fred You would do it all again to bring your family here I bet you would. We all would. A member here called White Raven He was processing his visa at the same time as my wife. Take a look at his posts. He was 47 doing agency work. He did it! There is no excuse for anyone else. Apo You did comment to Fred's post on this and I agree with you. How right you are and others also singing the same hymn. Its not long term Fred. We do what we got to do. for those finding it boring Dont read it. Just like me. Hence why my postage is low I read and post when I got something to say. You got nothing worth while to say Then dont post it. The fact is 20 years ago if you didnt work you were broke. Now You dont work you have many benefits. So what is the reason to go out to work for a min wage. The reason is folks is to get 6 months wage slips together to get you heart broken partner here. So forget comparing the money benefits between working and not working. Yes You wont be much better off by working So what What it will mean is that you will get your family here. So please lets stop moaning about the unfairness of it all. 2 wrongs dont make a right.

Nothing to do with race.

Now, can you kindly change the colour scheme of this forum as it's offensive towards my religion! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Arthur Little
18th February 2011, 21:51
Oh Arthur What did you mean by me being Ded's fag? I hope its not slang for Bitch? No I never read the book Even the famous 5. Rather read General McArthur.

:NoNo: ... nothing like that! It's many years since I read the novel, 'Tom Brown's Schooldays' but, basically, the story revolves around mid 19th century life at one of the famous English Public Schools for Boys - Rugby, in Warwickshire - where newcomer, 11 year-old Tom is singled out by Flashman, the Head Boy/Prefect - and a notorious bully - to be the latter's runaround.

In the latest edition of Chambers' Dictionary, the word 'fag' - apart from being slang for cigarette - is defined as "a schoolboy [or servant] who carries out menial or tiresome tasks for another ... senior lad.

Now of course, that is NOT to say that either you or Dedworth fit the bill as role models for the fictional characters mentioned above. :rolleyes: It was simply my :idea: of "a little" :joke: in response to Fred's mention of the well-known book ... and, not least, a light-hearted attempt to dispel the doom and gloom that the bickering :xxangry-smiley-038: on this thread has provoked.

None of us claim to know about Islam but what im saying I know when teachers in that program were secretly filmed abusing kids. It could of been in an Roman Catholic School for I care It still would of got the same response. Its wrong to treat kids like that. You think its right to teach hate? You think its right to hate your adopted country? At the same time taking the British tax payers money at the same while preachng all western culture is immoral. Surely all the Newspapers cant be wrong? Oh the school they shown in Oxford was doing it the modern and In my eyes the correct way to teach, in a fun interesting way.

Read my post 183 on this thread.........

Gwap, there are many atheists on this forum as there are in the UK, it is just a fact of life.
Don't be too puzzled with facts of life.
In the "Life In The UK Test" it reiterates that only 10% of the UK population say they go to religious services.

This mostly apears to be a conversation amongst men which fits well with the cultural model over here when expats gather mostly they talk together and there wives and girlfriends do the same its the same in Portugal and I guess Spain these country,s are "Catholic" to but the difference between concious choice and cultural norms is huge.

from my own experience the amount of folk who made any kind of desision other than the default they where born into is tiny and if I had claimed to be a satanist it wouldnt have impacted on my experience here a jot although it might have been more dificult to arrange the Minister here than in the UK:icon_lol:

lestaxi1, We've never really had much communication. But I have always enjoyed your spirit. If there are times I don't agree, that's fine, that's life.
Carina always tells me about the spice of life.
Please reconsider. Yep sleep on it if you must. But I really understand how being part of this little on-line community can become something important in your life.
C'mon lestaxi1 you know it makes sense. This is cyberspace. After a few days all is back to normal.
THERE IS NO FACE TO LOSE.

I'm looking forward to the pop quiz mate

I will 2nd that Arthur. I would also like to extend those sentiments to Ded and Graham48. These are the people what got me back using the forum. People with a bit of edge, with something worth while to say.

Terpe The topic is the thread title. Les knows my feelings on this Les has had my support all the way through. A lot of support is coming out the woodwork now I wonder where this support was when we (Graham Ded Les and myself) were being spoken to like kids because certain mods didnt like what we were saying? I put it to you You were all hiding under the bed sheets. Note Keith Angel's post 213 It would serve many people to read it. We were harming no one, just a group of guys putting over points of view. You want to show support now:NoNo:

This mostly apears to be a conversation amongst men which fits well with the cultural model over here when expats gather mostly they talk together and there wives and girlfriends do the same its the same in Portugal and I guess Spain these country,s are "Catholic" to but the difference between concious choice and cultural norms is huge.

from my own experience the amount of folk who made any kind of desision other than the default they where born into is tiny and if I had claimed to be a satanist it wouldnt have impacted on my experience here a jot although it might have been more dificult to arrange the Minister here than in the UK:icon_lol:

Thanks Gwap for noticing and quoting the defence of the defensless bit Chivalry is still not dead and thats good:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Does opposite camp have any thing to do with pink ties?

Tell you what Keith, this is a very good point you hint at.
In principle it happens (Men and women) but................ my dear, it has absolutely nothing to do with "Catholic" culture.
Your assumption is a bit like saying 25% of road accidents are caused by drunk drivers,
so lets focus on the 75% caused by sober drivers.:doh

I agree with gWaPito. People were just trying to make their point in a mature manner. Nothing nasty or malicious about it and for what it's worth, I've never heard either Les, Dedworth or Graham say anything along these lines in any thread. They may speak their mind and some over-sensitive members may take offence but it's a forum where people air their opinions. Fine, if there were hateful remarks and personal insults, that's understandable, but there weren't.

This is a pretty cool forum not like some forums where a lot of the members are a bunch of :sexy_146: but I think it does help when the place has a few characters to give it an edge like gWaPito said!

That's my opinion anyway :)

Nice one Jamie, you stood firm as well:xxgrinning--00xx3: Not quite sure what tangent Terpe as gone off on though:NoNo: All Keith stated was some facts, among then was most people keep to the beliefs they were born into. He mentioned a group of guys talking as expats would do. At the end of that sentence, he happened to mention that these, the countries he mentioned, are Catholic countries. He also said it wouldn't make a jot of difference.

20th February 2011, 21:32
i believe that if my opinion or belief in something is not everybodys viewpoint,if they see things differently,i understand accept i take no offence and i respect them for their honesty of their view,,
in the same light i hope my views will be treated the same way,
there isnt realy any good enough reason to fall out or feel bad about it, the important thing is that we can all speak our views/beleifs freely with no offence

As far as I am concerned I contribute to those threads/posts I feel I can offer some value too, and that I have an interest in. My support for les is being made because I simply do not feel comfortable with les quitting the forum due to what I see as unjust reasons.
I don't feel comfortable with the phrase 'coming out of the woodwork'. But if you're comfortable OK

Don't go lestaxi1 :NoNo:

Just because we don't always see eye to eye is one of those things.

You have your opinions and that is good.

You are very balanced as you post on so many other issues as well as politics and/or religion.

If I have offended you, it was not my intention. It is just that I have equally forthright views and I never was a wallflower, well, not many scousers are :laugher:

You have all made me feel really humble and I'm very touched by those of you who care:)

Of course I don't want to leave this fantastic forum is part of my life now but certain things I will argue til the day I die.

I notice there are messages of goodwill but not from a certain member:NoNo:( sorry now thats sorted)
But so be it but I will say now I'm not a racist but I am in favour of our brave soldiers and will always despise poppy burners and people who think that that is OK.
Regarding this thread I did feel a lack of support and was saddened that some people took it as trivial and made silly remarks that tainted the whole thread.

I'm not from the "dark side" and enjoy a laugh and let me explain why I tackle some of the more controversial subjects head on.

I am 100% patriotic and will never lie down when someone criticizes the armed forces,or the British way of life.

If the documentary had been about white supremacists preaching hate and bullying young children my response would have been the same.

You can understand my anger as being classed as the same people as the documentry showed:cwm23:

But very few people picked up on this and chose to chastise me and some others,dedworth,Graham,gwapito,jamie etc as being childish etc.

I have to say it but it appeared some of the mods never seemed to get the just of the thread either and looked at us as troublesome when all we wanted to do was agree with a documentary made by Muslims which we agreed with,that does not make any of us racist.

I feel we were treated badly and I guess that made things worse.

I totally agree with Keith when he points out that this argument puts people off especially newcomers and women he is 100% right:Erm:

I'm not sure what the answer is to that maybe a thread entitled "read at your own risk as this may contain controversial material" and maybe make it not be available to access for newcomers to the site.

The other choice is to ban the controversial threads but that is a shame and basically we enter censorship on this forum which h is a shame.

I tend to wind Keith up a football,sometimes think I'm a better pc expert than maybe I am,I make cheeky remarks but that's who I am and I can't change.
If someone even Keith with his great knowledge of pcs which sometimes makes me feel like a newbie recommends something I will find an alternative just to challenge him:icon_lol:
I can't help it he supports scouserpool and me man utd so i have to fight him:icon_lol:

Some may say hmm Les never takes much about Filipino matters or his girlfriend-that is true and here is the reason:bigcry:

I totally love my girlfriend but as some of you know its a tough thing being in love with a Filipino and once we get closer to being together I will talk more but in the meantime it's hard and I throw myself into other subjects to take away the pain of not being with her so now you have your answer to anyone who ever wondered why on earth I'm on this forum.

I hope this explains a lot but I to want the other guys back on here,not to gang up on anyone but they deserve to be heard too and I miss Graham, and even Dedworth too:yikes::icon_lol:

Les I often wondered why you post on here, because you never talk about the Philippines or your girlfriend, but I guess you've explained your reason, so I accept that.

What I personally object to are threads like this, with a common theme running through them & taking over the forum. There is an element of bullying & if anyone dares to challenge them, then they are shot down, called a handwringer, or told not to post, if they don't have anything intelligent to say. :NoNo:

That's why I wont bother getting involved, because I can't be :action-smiley-081: going round in circles, it's a waste of my life, got better things to do.

I know this thread got blown out of proportion & yes I saw the first 10 mins of the programme & was appalled, but we ended up with 'Rivers of Blood' etc. This sits uncomfortably with me, seeing we are in mixed race relationships & offer immigration advice it makes the forum unfriendly, especially for our Filipino friends looking in here.

If you are staying then welcome back, if not c'est la vie :)

I was delivering in a well know west end store last night, I have been going there for years, the guys know me well. Most that work there that time of night are Muslim. I shared what was going on, on this thread. They said 'mark, its like us saying all white British are full time members of the national front, its too crazy for words. I mentioned about the parents, why dont they deal with the teachers, he said, mark They know what these schools are Thats why they send them there. He also said there is a good chance that the Muslim poster was a wind up.

Simon, its a thread Not a chat room. Like yourself and many others felt for some reason uneasy so, thought best to give it a wide berth. Unlike others who didnt like but still had to have a moan about it. Simon My wife is from the Phil, she was far from offended. Perhaps the program in question didnt do race relations a favour either. What Ded was high lighting was cruelty to children. For the life of me, I cant understand why a few found it distasteful. I know many posters and viewers didnt. Yes It was I who mentioned the rivers of blood but, many agreed. This is nothing what so ever to do with our wives. This is to do with people who refuse to be a part of British society, yet want all the benefits. You say Simon, all it is, is going round in circles, isn't it what its all about? Chewing the cud and all that? Doesn't the chat go around in circles in most of those threads? Nothing wrong in that Simon. Its what us men do. I, for one dont go on threads I dislike and pipe up the words 'this boring' then disappear. like you, you didnt like so you stayed away. Off Topic a wee bit. When the word Handwringer gets mentioned, it makes me smile, it reminds me of Les Dawson playing the washer women.

Thanks for you comments Gwap I often find myself in a minority position but thats my choice no one ever said it would be easy or comfortable to be honest with myself. Its fairly easy to know if people are being interlectualy honest by there willingness to enter into open debate and address the points raised.

Deflextion,avoidance and childlike comments dont hide this for a moment.

Personaly on our multi-cultural forum I find it sad that we have so many posts on these kind of themes its great that abusive people will be uncovered and prosecuted for offences commited no matter who they are, Women with failed relationships being vilified no thanks,Celebrating remote controled drone deaths of unknown people I dont think so.

Feel free to post what you like/is permited but be sure I may time by time notice the trend and comment accordingly thats the freedoms my forebears fought for.

Gwap I know you are married to a Filipina, so am I...we are the converted, but this 'general theme' has racist undertones (no I'm not calling anyone here a racist)...You even said the same in another thread & then the next day backed down, saying you must have lost your sense of humour. :doh

Immigration is a touchy subject in this country & I don't like putting fuel on the fire, with dominant threads like this...Remember there are many out there, who aren't as tolerant as us & would like to see zero immigration & are vocal about it. :)
