Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

What possible journalistic justification is there for this filth?
http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/...m+%27crisis%27
Ethnic minority babies = race riots. Interestingly, the ethnic minorities mentioned include the Irish...

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

mmmm...rioting babies, ee by gum they start em off young up north!:erm:

just the usual express rubbish stiring up race hate.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

The article borders on irresponsible journalism, as a read of the "reader's comments" clearly shows. However, I like this bit:

I reckon this pledge (or was it a promise?) will make half the "white British" residents tremble.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

nope, just more angry in the build up...

it is disgusting how fast they are multiplying in a country they do not belong, one day the rest of u idiot brits will wake up..

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

they?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Probably talking about me, as I am from a foreign country (Sconny Botland), and have been married twice and had four children - trying to outbreed the Sassenachs, you see :D

But, as my previous and my incumbent wife are English, does that mean, in fact, I am adding to the "English" population?

Ooooh, my head hurts...........

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

They, as in the white British who have trouble speaking and writing English properly I guess.
Bit harsh to say they don't belong though, chavs must have some use right?
I mean, who else is going to buy all that Elizabeth Duke jewellery?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

chavs eh ?

those that side with the invaders, will almost certainly perish along with them

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Ahh chavs - Um..... Useful for..... Um...... Keeping the dole office in buisiness :)

I know this, there were plenty there when I was signing on (wonder if that makes me a chav!!!!!)

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Invaders?

Tell me can anyone be as deluded as you or does it take a special sort of person?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

I wonder if the standard of English will go down that is taught in classrooms so the multilingual kids have a better chance of keeping up with english speaking kids.....:shrug:

By the way, i'm not racist, and i don't preach or rant about the immigrants/muslims/state of the world today etc, but i kind of agree with Locky (in post 4), i don't fancy the idea of being in the minority one day, as a white brit.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

it takes a special kind of person yes, you will need at least 1 braincell to comprehend

would love to stay and chat, but i have palces to go friends to see, fresh air to breathe, u might like to do the same

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

No, I think you have to be "special" like him. ;)

And luckily, Locky, you just manage to meet the criteria........:D

btw, you would need at least two brain cells, otherwise how would you develop a synapse?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

If I have to comprehend the world as you do then I am very glad can't have any then.

You carry on, I like what you post as it shows how truly silly you really are.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Do you realise that there are more white Brits abroad than immigrants in the UK?
Does that make you feel better?
Bit of a demonstration of how far away from being a minority we actually are.
So relax, no need to panic, there are many many more white British people in the UK than immigrants.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

...unless we are invaded from within or without of course ;)

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Locky is only intrested in a race war, his constant comments regarding a delusional battle between them and him (those of us who are not racist are going to perish with 'them') show this.

White British people make up over 90 to 95% of the population, then its black british people. Immigrants, Asians, etc etc are less than 5% there is no chance of being in the minority.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

I only meant if what tht daft article says is true about Sheffield and it happens everywhere then in say, 25 years the immingrants outnumber the british then i'd have an issue! But that's hypothetically, i know you're right and that it probably will never happen.

Anyway my only issue with immigrants is when they come over here and complain about the way we live and are offended by everything to the point where things need to be changed to deal with that, but again that's another typical example i think of media hype and as people have said before it's usually the brits who are too scared of offending that cause those issues. The way i see it if i were from a different culture i'd expect to fit in with the country which i lived in and not expect them to fit around me.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Perhaps this might help (hate to bring facts into a thread, but they sometimes help ;)) - it might be while yet before "we", whoever "we" are, are in a minority (if we are all British, how can anyone be in a minority?)

Well, it is the worlds greatest 'string 'em up or kick 'em out' advocate...

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Isn't that the Mail?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Yet, perhaps ironically, you are still showing as online some 34 minutes after you posted that.


Probably. The express tends to specialise in "Diana Death:New Evidence of Cover Up" type stories.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Theres a joke somewhere about going back in time and the headline being "Diana to be born in 18 years" or something.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Good Bod, no - I've never seen the Mail being lenient enough to actually just kick 'em out...

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

As Nug says, I think you will find the Mail advocates "string 'em up and kick 'em out" (best to be safe than sorry, or the next headline would be "immigrant zombies taking our graveyards").

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

surely this kind of talk about who does and who doesn't belong in this country is what causes division between race/ethnic origin? if there was no us/them attitude then we would be less likely to end up with home grown terrorists.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Abso-bloomin'-lutely. :tu:

Very good point, very well made.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

:tu:

Exclude people from society, ignore and vilify them and they began to take to morph into the person society is telling they are. Be it terrorists or teenagers who end up shooting people at their school

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

The problem is, the single brain celled "special" people (to use Locky's description) believe the best way to remove the "us/them" attitude is to deport "them"

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Funnily enough, according to research late last year by the IPPR, there are 1 million UK pensioners living abroad, and a total of 5.5 million Brits who have been living abroad for a year or more.

What happens if "their" Lockys start deporting "us"? ;)

well india(call centers), china(IT), and america(aircraft engines etc) dont seem to be doing to badly profiting off the invaders.....

sure, the native american indians havent had their day yet, but give it time....., they have shown the invaders that gambling centers are the way forward to both mass profit and keep the locals poor and addicted after all.

do you know your UK family tree locky?, how far back have you gone....

if you go back and deport your great,great,great grandad, does that mean you will never have your view of the world....?

---------- Post added at 18:20 ---------- Previous post was at 17:41 ----------

sure , i think i take your point.., that being, are all the temp teaching force, that are the majority of upper school teachers today in the low income/deprived area's, good enough at teaching these deprived familys/kids the required long term life skills....

these multilingual kids will have to still do the same tasks, and so become far more bored in english rather than their native parents native language (scottish/welsh/irish/french etc) while the longer time english born familys kids struggle to learn peace meal, once they get to upper school.... and the temp teaching culture maggie and toney/gardon favour.

however,i assume you also teach your kids and dont leave it mainly in the hands the current UK schools system ?.

sure, again you dont fancy being in the minority,understandable, try being a single parent male....; and be thankful how good woman really have it....

as far as im concerned , theres one race, and thats the human race.

all this your family tree came from a hot country and so your black, or your family tree came from a cold country so your white is bull, and just another excuse to place blame and make yourself (not you personally pia, just generally)feel better.

perfect example, Big Brother and playing the racist card, take another good look at the footage, and see all of them playing the game..., their out to win, and use any advantage they can, the same is true in real life....

the same was true in the witch hunter days, and many other long forgotten days...

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

If there are so many are they still a minority?

Its often been said that racial differences will be eliminated as we "interbreed" forming a completely 'mixed race'.

This is the equivalent of some US right-wing commentators urging white Americans to have more children in order to counteract the Hispanic growth.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

if we all stayed in africa were we all started and never migrated, then we would all be black i suppose, back to the future!.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

I am pretty sure we were all black 'at the start' anyway. White people seem to be another race that came out of that line and somehow took power early one. Leading to racism and the feeling morons have that white people are some how superior.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Racism is an extention of tribalism.

Absolutely, and after 2 million years do you think its going to be easy to stamp out? Hell no! But the powers that be keep throwing different races in together and bang on about living in harmony!!!
The fairly intelligent ones tolerate each other, even get on, but the majority stick to there own. This increases mistrust on both sides. When will the do-gooders admit racial harmony aint gonna happen for a few 100 years yet, and stop forcing it on people.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

i wont take the same view as everyone else so far, dont go away just yet, as id like to try and understand your view.

it seems you have a view that we are being invaded, let me tell you as someone that also lives here, its the council that have already sold off the masses of schools and the shops for even more housing that we dont need that we should be putting our energys into, not invaders.

these new shoebox houses then have new familys move in, and need local schools and shops to go to and work in.

never mind..., the council members made a nice one time killing, and took the cash for investment in their personal pet projects etc elsewere, no new schools were built or even extensions added to the current overrun schools in these run down area's though, how could they , they dont own the land to expand anymore....

civic, what a joke of a main shopping center today.

so locky , given the above, why do you have the view you do?.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Actually, there's an example of this four doors away at the primary school my son's going to go to - it's got a fairly high intake of non-English as first language children (from all over the place, particularly East Africa) and apparently (according to the headmistress) they get to exactly the same level in a year (so much so that their results are indistinguishable from native English speakers). The school's one of the top 200 in the country on last years results, which were admittedly exceptional. The key is probably that it's quite a well off area and a well-managed and resourced school.

Children learn fast, particularly when given help and encouraged to mix. It's quite common round here to see an Asian woman in full headscarf etc. chatting to her offspring in her own language and being answered in a broad Lahndan accent, innit. Knowing more than one language should be an advantage, anyway.

Back to the Express - the article was a mashup of an article in the Sheffield Star, which was based on a council report that says the opposite of what the Express is trying to make out - namely that Sheffield is a multicultural city and *it works very well, thank you*. The council want to keep things that way.

Apparently the press office is fed up with the Express, which they think didn't read the report before going to press. Now, is it the council 'throwing different races together', in Womble's charming phrase, or the Express grossly misrepresenting a report they haven't read as effectively BNP propaganda that's acting in the irresponsible manner?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

What I was trying to convey, was not everyone is ready to be multi-cultural, sorry if it came out wrong
As for Locky, its ill thought arguments like his that make the "right wing" unelectable. The day an eloquent right winger is born we maybe in some trouble!

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Its hard for someone smart and eloquent to share the same views as that. Its even harder for anyone to make those positions sound sane. Nick Griffin is the best they have been he still comes across as racist. Locky was talking a race war, I cant see the normal public going for that regardless of the spin its been given.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

i do wonder if it would be a same result if you compared that to one of the bottom 200 in the country and it was in a deprived and rundown area.

i suspect it might be, as it seems its not the primary schools that are the most under funded in these area's, its the upper schools were you will find the massive cuture shock going from primary to secondary/upper.

my sons primary was great and the 2 teachers and helpers were far better than great, cant say the same about the current school even after several years there.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

:rolleyes:

Can I ask why you think that people who do not want to kick out/ethnically cleanse a entire population based on their race are traitors? You do realise that they are just like the white race in all but skin colour and sometimes culture? They have nice people, nasty people, racist people, funny people, clever people? You also do know that the UK is properly only up there with America in the lack of a clear 'english' bloodline going back? I.E Almost everyone English is decended from some kind of invasion?

Who exactly are these people who are 'English' anyway? Do Black people count? 2/3/4/5th generations of Asians/Indians/Africans?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

nope black people are not english, simple reason, the country was not formed by africans indians or we, a passport can not change heritage

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Even if they have been here for Hundreds of years? Why do you want an all white england anyway? What advantages are there?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

i dont care if england is white or not, if they kicked all religion out, i would be happy with that

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

So why kick Black people out? Is it simply religion you dislike? What about Asians who do not believe in a god? Could they stay

yes as long as they pull there weight, absolutely, as long as they are contributeing and not leeching, there is no problem whatsoever

Allow half an hour for your answer, do not use both sides of the paper at once, no BNP literature to be taken into the examination room.

Any of them with a qualification in teaching English are going to have their work cut out, I can see.

My missus is French.... but she's white. She doesn't want to be English, she quite likes being French, but she likes living in Blighty. She works full time, and pays taxes on what she earns... which goes to the UK government, not the French one, as she neither lives nor works in France.

Is she an invader too? Should I tell her to pack her bags?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Well that's alright - where I grew up, there were plenty of people of black / asian / Chinese / Japanese / whatever descent who were / are a lot more English than me. Surely that means that you don't mind who's here?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Looking at the birthrates for muslim asian families compared to non-asian muslims, and it would be fair to say if there is no change to this trend they will be the majority in a few hundred years time in the UK.

I will never see it in my lifetime but I am convinced it will happen in 3 or 4 generations time, and this country will be a muslim state. In reality I see one of two things happening if it gets to that situation.

A) They are unable to unite because of all their differences and they start wars amongst themselves.

B) If they manage it these individual factions would soon wage war amongst themselves for power soon after.

The posted population figures show a large number of Indian and Pakistan decendants, I fail to see these joining in harmony to take over the UK.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

And I am sure in the early 1800's, the same thing was said about the Irish and the Jewish immigrants, but I don't see the country being run by Guinness drinking yarmulke wearers, going diddley diddley oi (vay)! ;)

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

Thats not what will happen, and hopefully I will still be around in 3 or 4 generations and would be one of the many many people who would do everything to do this country becoming a religious state.

But Like I said it would not happen. First of all do you have the birth rates anywhere because I would be surprised if they are out stripping non-asian births. Even if they were, we have had peroids of immigration of people who then settled (Indians) and caused no trouble.

You seem to think that muslims would instantly try and get a muslim state if they could, in 3 or 4 generations, but they would have many friends in the UK. They all would have been born and grown up in the UK. They would likely defend the UK from such attempts rather than enforce them. Remember a lot of muslims are angry and the treatment of fellow muslims in such states, I cant seem them being so keen to have the same here.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

You are probably correct, I think the power of Islam and the hold it has over its followers is a different matter though. Religion of Islam is a powerful tool that could be used for good or bad, lets hope Islam wakes up drags itself out of the stone age and moves with the times.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

It really amazes me how I see threads like here there, everywhere on other forums.

Coupla facts

(1) So called "native" " white " English will be the minority in the near future... Is there anything to worry about here as this breed not native to this Island anyway.

(2) All these woes about lack of jobs. FACE THE FACTS ! There is a a MAJOR skills shortage in this country and I mean major. All the key knowledge holders have left or are leaving. So when you're worrying about jobs what are you worried about exactly ? There are PLENTY of jobs in the 100-200K salary range that remain unfilled - go figure unless you're content lowering your standards and being plain lazy and unskilled.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

93% of the UK is Native White, where on earth is this minority thing coming from.

a) Thank you for clarifying that point, but I know I am British (not "brittish") - the clues I had were my British passport, and having been a member of the British Armed Forces; I was being ironic to the poster who has been temporarily suspended (electronical, not physically), who kept wittering on about "English" (and perishing invaders).
b) There are 5.5 million British citizens living abroad at the moment, which sort of defeats your incisive point about foreigners "not wanting us", don't you think? ;)

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
 

I dunno, I was very welcome when I lived and worked in France... similarly, I never had any problems when I was in Denmark (well, not with the natives anyway... I had problems with it being so bleedin' cold over there though).

Considering the number of Brits that emigrate to Spain, I guess they're not being made to feel unwelcome... similarly, the Americans must not have a problem, as I know shed-loads of Brits that have gone to live there, along with Canada and Australia/NZ.

Which countries exactly don't take kindly to Brits living/working there? Then we'll all know not to accept a job over there.

all very sad. if you live in a country, you become that population.

it's only fair that people who live here should do the same with english.

i think that all 'communities' are fractured nowdays, whether black, white or whatever. it's a sad state of affairs but certainly not amplified by immigrants - i think we need to look at ourselves before we start to blame other cultures.
