I am afraid we have the enraged by proxy. Since the 1970's we have a growing band of blinkered, know it all meddlers who will take offence on behalf of those that did not have a clue they were being offended. The great sitcoms of the 70's were outlawed by ignorant pant sniffing liberals looking for a hurt when none was there. This has become epidemic in all walks of life and so much so that our civil courts are now flooded with vexatious litigants claiming discrimination and pretend psychological injuries looking to make money on our weak and limp judicial system.
Sorry to come into this late, but is supporting Scottish Independence the same as hating the English? What if he supports it because it could make living in England better financially?
Nationalism is in reality little more than patriotic pride. Sadly when I look around London these days - apart from feeling in a distinct minority for being English in the first place, I feel very little pride in our capital city. Immigration has absolutely got this country by the bollox. You can no longer enter a Starbucks in London without being swiftly accosted by a Romanian with a moustache (these are the females) begging for money. I always tell them, without fail, to "f** off".
I can't stand Starbucks or McDonalds, never been into Starbucks and will never go in. They can take their overpriced frothy infusions and non Uk tax paying ways and **** off back to the US.
I love Nic Jones and a whole lot of other English folkies like Seth Lakeman, Kate Rusby. Have you been to the Cambridge Folk festival Forest? I have been three times and it is a fantastic event. There are people who are two through to people who are eighty two. The atmosphere is fantastic and although people get hammered, the chilli cider is a must, there is never any aggression or nastiness. Well worth a visit. I suppose I am just a hippie at heart. Peace and love is so much better than hatred and prejudice.
Nick you can't talk about things with England and then say you go to Starbucks How much did they take this country for?
"We are not even given The chance to celebrate our national day instead of the notion being turned into something more is sinister by sweaty, turn their back liberals, looking to turn every show of pride into a race crime." Since when has a proud Englishman had to ask permission to go down the pub on 23rd April & get pissed. I trust you "proud Englishmen" never have an Indian, Mexican, Greek, Italian etc as they are clearly cooked by some foreigner taking us for a ride. we should be proud that we welcome people from around the world, willing to work hard, pay taxes & dare I say it be proud to be a naturalised Brit.
What is your take on Latvian murderers, Kurdish pickpockets, Romanian pimps, Lithuanian booze bootleggers et al? Or do these scumbags not exist in your wishy-washy world? Do you think we should accept the dregs of humanity as some sort of payback for colonial times? Will you stand up and explain your thinking to those who have had their lives destroyed by the actions of imported filth? Come on, let me know your thoughts, Ted. Let me in on your magical logic. Offer me enlightenment, please.
I can't think of many Mexicans Italians Greeks or Indians that are proud to be a naturalised Brit? Why would they? Otherwise they'd be british? They profit on their foreigners status as a business and rightly so. How many Greek restaurants fly the british flag? You don't see pictures of Big Ben in a Taco Bell or plastic mockup of the Houses of Parliament at the Star of Bengal. And exactly how many Mexicans do you know that want to be british? As the scots proved last week it only pays to be british when it suits your pocket or your sexual perversions.
Please do not forget Chinese pimps, Muslim gang rapists, Indian forgers, Jamaican drug mules, and Nigerian scammers.
We don't need 'em, we make our own. Whats your wishy washy take on British pimps and murderers? Does it make you less proud to be British? And what about the other side of the coin? Indian and Pakistani immigrants who work every hour god sends cos they appreciate they're better off here, and push their offspring to study hard and get decent jobs. Compare that to some of the bozo brits who sit back and chug out babies in order to live off child support and any other wellfare benefit they can get their sticky english hands on. Or is that different from Latvians who do it. Your arguement has enough holes for Farage to drive a tank through.
Err Ken we don't. The vast majority of organised Gang child rapes are carried out by Muslim men. Pimping is almost solely organised by foreign gangs. Heroin is not grown in plumstead. Nor is cocaine (pity). Passport fraud is almost always foreigners and when was the last bomb planted on a train by a Englishman. Then of course you have all the stabbings. The stats are ridiculous. A third of the prison population were not born here. Or the con artists on tower bridge or the pebble dash your drive merchants. Whilst I happily accept we have our own slags, it would be easier to deal with then if we didn't have the scum of the earth setting up shop here to do crime, or exploit the system.
Don't forget the Belgians. Or the POrtuguese.Joao Magueijo is a Portuguese mathematician who has proved that light travels at variable speed, and has also written abook about the Brits, with such quotes as "Britain is one of the most rotten societies in Euorope, possibly the world" "British homes are less clean than my grandmother's poultry cage" Our diet is "Deplorable" The north is "hideous" The class system "Is the source of reciprocal fear and hate" "I never met such a group of animals. The English are wild beasts and totally out of control" British men "Have to drink like sponges, eat like skeletons and throw up everything at the end of the evening". Puts Andy Murray's comments in the shade somewhat?
Why did you have to go and spoil a decent debate by bringing in that old chestnut? No one disputes the problems we have with our own people, and no one disputes the benefits that immigrants can bring to this country, but people are getting sick and tired of the state being used and abused by all and sundry. Do you not think we should ease the strain on the NHS, the prison service, housing, schools, and the dole queue before allowing droves of unneeded foreigners in? What can be the benefit of giving a home and dole money to immigrants who have no intention of working for a living? Why must we keep thousands of foreign criminals in our prisons? Why do immigrants jump the queue for housing, school places, and hospital beds? And, yes, it does happen. There are so many questions to be answered, yet those who ask them are branded as racists.
Why do you use the comments of an up-his-own-arse Portuguese? Who cares what he thinks? He is not a British subject, so how can this be relevant to the Andy Murray debate? But do you agree with Mr Magueijo's comments? Do you see the north as hideous? Is your home dirtier than a poultry cage? Bizarre.
The problem is Ted that at some point you have to draw the line. I can tell you from my own professional background that for every honest Joe coming into this country to contribute, there is another one here illegally/overstaying past their visa/scrounging/ dipping in the Black Economy....or committing crime. That is the reality of uncontrolled immigration, which has seen over 3 million foreigners come in over the last ten years. I had a sorry experience of the negative impact of immigration two weeks ago - everyone on the Left talks about how we "couldn't run our wonderful NHS without all those wonderful foreigners" - bollox. A trip to A&E lasted a full six and a half hours, when eventually patience was exhausted I discovered that there were two people still in front in the queue - both were Asian- neither spoke or understood English. They were causing a severe backlog as doctors & nurses were waiting for translators to "describe that pain in your tummy". Frankly I would have chucked them both out of the hospital and deported them the next day. Immigration is a liberal's wet dream, for the rest of us it is a day to day nightmare.
Ken - it is a bit of a cheek to lecture us on the benefits of immigration, when you yourself have got out of this sh1thole & moved to Spain.
