There was a chap on the wireless this week who had taken a job as a care assistant to get off the dole. He was being paid contact time only and had to make his way between jobs at his own expense. Now obviously you need a car for that and you can't keep one on the road for less than £50 a week when you take into account depreciation,insurance,road tax,repairs etc. Now with a job with that kind of set up it is probably impossible to get paid more than 35 hours a week,so around £225 gross. Take you petrol and deductions put and you will have less than £200.So you are reliant on living with parents because you can't pay rent at open market rates,your housing costs would take up nearly all your earnings. And it's not fair to call immigrants feckless,the problem is exactly the opposite.There is a car wash near me staffed by Eastern Europeans.About eight of them share a crappy run down house that costs them about £15 a week each.They work hard but it is this that is undercutting the indigenous workers.Strangely they think their lives are pretty good.
Lots of car washes are staffed by EEs. They seem to do very well. Are these (like the one in Tesco Dereham car park for instance) some sort of cooperative, or are they working for someone?
The kingpin comes in and taxes them just like the amputee to order beggars and pick pockets. We have imported Victorian style misery and half the cast of Romanian Oliver Twist. Annoying having a woman sitting outside a supermarket with someone elses sedated baby for extra sympathy , especially as she has a gob full of gold teeth. I used to get loads of dirty E European gang members coming into my casino with designer gear and wedges of used notes trying to pimp out their girls cheat on the tables and launder their cash. Most of you village dwellars are not exposed to this and think that getting your car washed for £2 less than a machine wash is progress and probably get a warm glow inside from making the World a better place .
There was a guy attracting a crowd with a monkey on a chain he had a routine where the poor monkey was trained to tap the owner's face and he would pretend that he was being attacked and spat in the monkey's face. A second guy came up to me with a bowl asking for money for the show I just walked away and the man followed, my instinct was to knock the cruel bastard out but my wife put in a couple of ¥ and we walked off. She tried to explain to me that these people are very poor and animal life means nothing to them. Just thought i would share that with the group.
Just after the EU free movement of labour rule came in a Hungarian chap came into my garage and bought a Range Rover from me.He was a decent enough sort of chap,spoke good English and did the deal in the proper way i.e. no jiggery pokery like you tend to get from the travellers. When he picked it up he asked if I knew of any sites that would do as a car wash. As it happened I knew of a chap with a redundant filling station site who wasn't doing so well and told him. A few months later he opened there. I used them a fair bit and they were ok. Then one time I went and the manager tried to charge me twice the normal rate, obviously intending to stich half in his own pocket.I never used them again. The staff seem to all be young,single men and women. It wouldn't surprise me if some were on benefits,although I have no evidence of this.
I regularly hand washed forty of the buggers myself in all kinds of weather.The winter Easterlies were the worst I was a quarter of a mile from the beach and everything got covered in sand.
Why do UKIP choose such unappealing characters for candidates? One would have thought that they could at least choose someone who doesn't look,speak and generally deport themselves like an absolute arse. I refer of course to the delightful Kerry "****ter" Smith. A man who makes Eric Pickles appear positively a dashing,debonaire sporting young gentleman. It is possible of course that the good burghers of Basildon actually like that type,that is a matter entirely between them and their turf accountants. I only entered that dark borough,that abode of the guilty,once and that was back in the days when the playing of the pink oboe had only recently been declared a socially acceptable pastime.
To be a UKIP candidate you've got to accept being associated with the other UKIP candidates. That alone has to be a significant barrier to attracting smart, media-savvy individuals.
Ok Hamilton is a crook but at least he is plausible.This fellow is a nincompoop of the highest order.If you go around calling people ****ters after you have taken a couple of Ibuprofen it does raise questions.
I can't speak for UKIP because I don't know their rules.But generally if a candidate is officially adopted that is it and their isn't any mechanism for getting shot unless he does something really outrageous.So unless he gets an attack of lumbago he should be ok.
I think you need to put your own house in order before you go around criticising others! Just look at the Rotherham child Sex abuse scandal for instance. The Labour controlled council knew what was going on for years but did nothing to stop it. The local MP, you know the expenses crook Denis McShane, knew what was going on, but he was too busy fiddling his expenses to care! All parties have these idiots and Labour is no different.
