Seat68 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Racism overload on sunday. Apologies for this. Mother calls me as she does every sunday. I say I see your house is on the market, (they live abroad and are selling their UK house), my father pipes up (they have the phone on speaker) "turns out not only was the fella a jingly, but he was called mohammed, wouldnt sell to a mohammed, not fair on the neighbours" I said I am sure you cant do that, he says and if the next buyer is a jingly before we do anything I want ten percent deposit just to secure it, I said I am sure you cant do that and I dont think an estate agent would be allowed to do that. My parents really astound me, they would refuse to sell a house, and then come out with that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to make the point that from what I can see British Tradesmen seem to be universally against it (the EU). Saying that, a lot of them are really stupid. Someone I went to school with (a nose) asked on his Facebook feed whether British football teams could still play in European competitions if we voted out... He actually thought the UK was voting to leave the continent of Europe. no idea where he thought we'd then slot in. He's a plumber and pushes the 'out vote' at every opportunity. It's going to be a close run things by all accounts. I think the turn out of students will be the biggest deciding factor. I also think, as well as tradesmen, jobless people will vote out (they tuk our jerbs!) and the aging population. It's basically students/professionals voting for in (based on my limited knowledge of listening to Radio 4, watching the news etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've put their house up for sale, and seem to have no reservations about telling everyone it's because there are plans to build a mosque nearby.

That's the thing, you can't tell him he's an idiot whilst he's messing with your electrics, he might make your bathroom light switch turn your oven on or something. You have to agree with someones views when they're working on your house or car, cutting your hair or making your food. That's how I ended up in the BNP. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never understand the complete derision from some people to what, to me, seems a perfectly logical statement. Read other day that of all jobs taken this year, 55% were from EU nationals (from outside the UK), taking into account that a huge number of EU migrants are low or unskilled doesn't it stand to reason it will hit the low and unskilled in this country?

Davkaus Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I suspect there are some arguments that being in the EU is good for the economy and helps create more jobs. That's not much comfort to someone on JSA who sees low skilled jobs increasingly taken by people who come over for a few years and send all of their money home, though. The warm sense of multicultural satisfaction doesn't pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan. Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Doesn't make it right... Why should we pay to use a public highway? We pay tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I agree with the sentiment, agree entirely, but £2.50 pah! Try £6.40 most days of most weeks for me to use the M4. Usually at the back of a very long queue of people who cannot understand what 'don't try to use this toll if you don't have a card because this one only takes cards not cash, by cash, we mean it doesn't take coins and it doesn't take notes, it just takes credit cards and debit cards. These cards are the rectangular plastic things in your wallet, often with Visa or Maestro written on them. If it's paper or metal and has a drawing of the Queen on it, that's probably cash, this toll doesn't accept cash don't join this **** queue you **** retard' means when written in red neon that can be read from half a mile away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to pay to use it, you can take an alternative route (go round the other way ;-) ) most bridges in the UK are toll bridges - Severn bridge, Humber Bridge, even the Cleddau bridge in Pembroke are tolled. Not sure why this one deserves to be singled out. At least you don't have to drive into London and pay the congestion charge :-( or be told that your diesel vehicle is too old to be allowed into the LEZ...... *edit just Re-read not meant to be a dig at you. Just hear a lot of people complain about the Dartford crossing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddywhack Posted May 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2016 I bought a big box of crisps the other day with 30 packets of skips, hula hoops and transformers in, emptied them into my drawer at work and told people to help themselves if they fancied any. One bloke kept coming back, probably twice a day to take a packet. It was fine because they only cost about 7p each, but every time he came over he kept saying he was going to buy a box next time and empty it in my drawer for us to share. I told him not to bother and not to worry about it. Then one day last week he came over, took the last packet and left something like £1.27 on my desk to put towards me refilling it. I haven't, and this morning when I wasn't at my desk he asked the people who sit near me why I haven't refilled it. Now he's left some caramel wafer biscuits in my drawer for us to share. I feel like I'm involved with the snack mafia, I want out. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, who can blame them? 'They all read shitty tabloid papers' 'Most of them are really stupid' It's almost like tradesmen are being put into a negative steroetypical group!

StefanAVFC Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I know numerous people my age, who have parents in the UK for the week and come home for the weekend or every other weekend. I don't really have an issue with it. The whole UK jobs for UK people makes me uneasy anyway. Nothing stopping people leaving the UK and getting a job elsewhere either.
