Re: Windrush Scandal
I'm going to assume Sidney started to have a look through the 49 posts of mine that contain the word Nazi and spotted the theme that i spotted, and then he gave up.
But rest assured, he will be back another day to accuse me of calling people Nazis for disagreeing with me, or something.

You know full well you don't always use the word Nazi, you imply, suggest, hint that someone is without using the word directly, just like I said the other day that you were priming yourself to use it.
Then when you're pulled up on it you tell someone to see when you used it last etc, exactly like you are now.
So wind your neck in, you're a gobshite who loves sticking labels on people.

More mendacity.
"you like to throw the N word around"
"ok, show me when",
"**** off, you know i was lying. Stop trying to make me prove myself wrong. Do you think i'm that stupid?"
"On advice of counsel i exert my right to remain silent"

You know full well you imply, suggest and insinuate, it's almost like your specialist subject so playing innocent about it is laughable.
Have fun banging one out over the potential for an argument, you'll need to find it somewhere else tonight.

Here's one of the examples of a post where i use the word "Nazi". Weird, eh? How i seem to throw around the N-word so much yet i'm not one of the people who you claim has called you it.
One of the funny things i noticed going through my posts containing the word "Nazi" was how many of them was me quoting people complaining about how me, or people like me, constantly use the word. I actually laughed out loud at one point.

Re: Windrush Scandal
The folk who came in the early 50s from the Caribbean are now great grandparents .They have English offspring.
The issue re immigration is not with these people but with our handling of "refugees" from Africa and Eastern Europe.The processing of genuine asylum seekers from chancers is a disgrace.

Re: Windrush Scandal
There are 50 countries in Africa. Why oh why, come to a Northern European country for refuge? WHY? Go somewhere else. Idi Amin is now dead, the Ugandan Asians are free to go back. What are they doing here?

Re: Windrush Scandal
Claret and Jew, the infrastructure of this country has taken a 1000 years to build, for our people. Mt family have paid tax since when it was started including two sacrifices in WW1, so if a member of my family falls on tough times through no fault of their own, then my family have paid for me. I could pay tax if I was accepted in society, but my good sense and sensibility as a leading art theorist is not valued in this p*llock Medici era, so far. My work doesn't sell for millions, coloured spots do.
Roads, hospitals, prisons, education, police government tax office etc. just for someone to come and pay some tax from abroad, notwithstanding the burden of folk not suited to here, and probably ill as a result.

That's not how tax works otherwise no one would need to work if their parents had paid tax.

Re: Windrush Scandal
It's not daft it's just how it is. My parents paid tax as did my grandparents. My grandfather's on both sides served in WWII and my great grandfather's both in WWI. Do I not need to pay tax?
Re: Windrush Scandal
Another silly thicko comment from you. Tax needs to be paid, immigrants are not needed for it. Immigration is a myth, we had a no-immigration economy before WW2.
My point about tax was that someone was questioning my right to benefit as an ill person, I said my family having paid millions into the kitty, have a right to have one of their family members given some support if needed.

Re: Windrush Scandal
I didn't question your right to benefit I pointed out that someone needs to pay tax to fund the benefits you are entitled to.

Re: Windrush Scandal
She's been home secretary for 13 months, this issue has been going on for twice as long and the government offices are notoriously slow to get anything done, even more so when majority are at home instead of the office.
Did you expect her to magic away all of the messes left by her predecessors?
Windrush is just one problem let's not forget and even then it all needs to be thoroughly checked, because look at those who tried scamming the Grenfell compensation scheme.
It should never have happened in the first place but if it came out that money was paid to those who weren't entitled then people would complain.

Comes down to colours and which side of the fence you were brought up on. Some people would vote for a monkey with a red rosette, but a kitten with a blue rosette will be made out to be a brutal monster only looking out for their own kind. So on and so forth.
The reality is always somewhere in between of course.

Re: Windrush Scandal
Well I've voted for both major parties over the years, and as it happens I voted Conservative in the last 2 elections, but just because I voted for them doesn't mean they are free from criticism if I think what they're doing is wrong, equally it's easy for the opposition parties to snip from the side-lines without having to make the difficult decisions, there is some on both sides of the divide who'll swear their philosophy is the panacea to all the countries ill's, and who'll vote for each party out of tribal loyalty, however I do think that is slowly changing, and there's a growing number of floating voters who'll flip if they aren't impressed by the governing party, whoever is in office, if they want to get back into power the Labour party will need to win these voters over, I won't vote blue in 2024, but it's not yet guaranteed I'll revert back to Labour, although I'm impressed by their new management as KS put it in the HOC, and I he and the shadow cabinet keep going in a more moderate direction I could well find myself placing my cross in the Labour box for the first time in more than 2 decades.Right_winger wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 9:35 pmThe opposite view from this is also very clear, whatever the government do they will be wrong/bad it all

I don't expect miracles, just basic competence would satisfy me, and if the opposition can provide that, then I'm more than happy to vote this bunch out of office, the one thing the electorate hate is arrogance, and that's emanating in spades from the present government, they'd do well to remember a dose of humility goes a long way. And they seem to forget the main reason they got an 80 seat majority was Jeremy Corbyn, now he's not around anymore. they'll find it a lot harder to portray the opposition as extreme.
