Dunno but he can't really have a stab at immigrants when his businesses will employ hundreds that all pay tax. I'd guarantee a large portion of his minimum wage cleaners and match day workers are immigrants. His workforce would cave in without them. Same goes for the NHS and other large sectors. Quote

Live in this country, pay your (full) taxes in this country, have a say in this country. Free speech is brilliant. If you don’t then keep your mouth shut. PS - also helps if you don’t tell porkies though when you do speak, otherwise you’ll have to apologise and look a prat. Quote

So free speech is fine but only when you live in that country, got ya. Can the mods close the meanwhile in America - Canada - France and every other thread that’s not Brit related. Also @bolty58 and @Zico can you stop posting in this thread. Quote

I don’t think he was “people opting to take benefits rather than working for a living” Quote
deeane Koontz Posted February 12 Posted February 12 You know he waited for a decent run of results for that little outburst. The smelly tax dodging rat. Quote

Construction down 2% and Scientific & Tecnical down over 1% Quote

Not that it matters, but I'd guess from my observations on the school run that my lads school is about 95% White. Fuck knows what proportion of them are "White British", but why the fuck would anyone even care about this stuff? Racists are very fucking weird. Quote
Cheese Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Imagine going about your day and being bothered by the colour of some kids' skin. Proper nonce territory. Quote

They were just comments in conversation, not by a politician or made in a speech. Maybe some of the words were clumsy but so what? Ratcliffe has apologised for the words used (hardly "disgusting" by the way) As I said earlier, the real political news of today is regarding our economy and downturns in sectors which were previously highlighted as critical for growth.

I think I saw a "non white" kid walking to the local village primary school the other day, that wouldn't have happened under the Conservative Party, I'm worried it's the thin end of the wedge Quote

I'm sure he'll be along shortly to say he's not racist. Although he clearly is.....he'll say he can't possibly be racist, because he once bought a Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes single once, or something Quote

crawshawbooth Posted February 12 Posted February 12 i dont believe its a racist comment to say we are being colonised Any one on here, i will meet any day at Steaks on a plane at the bottom of Deane road Bolton and we could walk walk to a public house where i will buy you a drink whilst you point out to me that what i see is a lie. Ten pints later , and i am buying , you wont convince me i am wrong Quote
jmjhb Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) The wonders of postcolonialism, eh? We colonise half the world for centuries, extolling the virtues of Britain and then wonder why people want to come here. Of course, our modern 'patriots' live abroad these days and do nothing but run it down on a daily basis. Edited February 12 by jmjhb Quote
