Now tell the truth... or no crispy duck for you


I'm presuming you will be naming your sources also (please note spelling) just so we dont get any HP, Heinz or any other pithy sauce based hilarity

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

I suppose you assume they live in cardboard boxes then?
it was a legitimate point. if they take on the low paid jobs and being in this country when you don't earn enough you get housing benefit.

this is not about colour. it's not about xenophobia. it's not about racism. it's about money.

He's off again.

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

Actually it's becoming more about your xenophobic bigotry and general lack of knowledge regarding socioeconomics but lets not let the facts get in the way of a good rant.....

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

Can't you shut up for 2 minutes? :D

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

That being the case Gary then why did you make your comments specific to migrants?

Again, since you're trying the old "Oh no, they think I'm a xenophobe" selective memory loss trick, your quote was:

Can they afford to rent the house they live in out of the low wages that nobody else will work for, or is that paid for them?

At least have the nads to stand up for your opinions, however offensive to others they might be. You'll find that people will probably think more of you for doing so.

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

Because we were talking specifically about Migrants?

"Migrants again!" you are quoting out of context to make a point :(

What did he do for a living? or did he just swim around all day doing nothing?

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

He picked fruit and veg, got bowling benefit though on account of the low wages.......

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

Yes, that's right Gary, we are. And you stated - rather crudely:

Subsequently you contended that this is "not about colour. it's not about xenophobia. it's not about racism" but "its about money".

That being the case then why do you contiunue to make it specific to immigrants?

Are you that blinkered that you can't see how "silly" (your choice of words - not mine) your contradictory positions make you appear?

You're asking me why I'm talking about Migrants. then you're asking me why it's not about their colour or racism. you're also asking me why I continue to make it specific to talk about migrants?

1. the subject is about migrants.
2. you are the one who said unless of course a misguided and ill informed racism / xenophobia is more important to them than fundamental economics. to which I said that it's not about racism.
3. see 1 above.

Further to point 2.
that is the reason (imho) why these issues get passed by in government and such. because as soon as the issue comes up someone (probably not you) casually stands up and says "that's racist" and then casually sits back down again.

everyone looks at each other and says, ok, lets leave this one. lets go onto the next issue of emptying the bins and what we can do to solve the mass amounts of rubbish we are dumping in this country.

he (probably not you) doesn't say a word with that one.

Re: A new flood of migrants ?
 

How come the "migrants" (immigrants, really, but hey) can afford to live work/here by taking low-paid jobs and then claiming all the supposed benefits that Gary states they do, but "indigenous Britons" can't seem to do the same?

Is it because
a) the benefits systems favours non-Britons
b) the immigrants are willing to work harder/willing to get up in the morning and survive without 40" plasma TVs/Xbox/etc
c) Gary is talking bolleaux

Please vote A, B, or C..... (one can chose more than one option)


(btw, love Gary's pathetic pre-emptive straw-man argument re racism - sometimes you are called racist, Gary, because you are a racist; as Mr A said, man up to the crap you spout, rather than the usual "Who, me?" surprised expression).
