Overmodding 3

Just to reiterate here...as the only mod with the right credentials to have a major role in this film.... UTR ...this film just ain't gonna happen......I would like to suggest that films featuring firemen coming to the rescue of damsels in distress are so much more marketable.....

 

not allowed to call them firemen anymore firefighters

 

To be fair I don't think COL is a racist. He's just very zealous in his nationalism and that can sometimes be misinterpreted as racism. Not everyone in UKIP for example would be a racist but because they have an anti-foreigner undertone they all get labelled with it.

I can see why Queens etc could make that mistake but a mistake it is all the same.

 

Fair of you to say that. We could argue over whether it is Nationalism or Patriotism, but I fear we've been there before. Fair comment though.

 

If somebody in UKIP was racist then they would be kicked out of the party

 

Andy on the other hand....

 

<SARCASM> yeah, right </SARCASM>

 

The are men to me!!!

 

Wow, I was totally unaware of this.

Genuine question to Mr 9's, do you feel offended if I referred to you as being a Fireman?

 

In a similar vein you're not allowed to call the boys in blue policemen anymore, they're now social workers.

 

Brilliant, Uber!!

 

When are you kicking Farage out then, given that he doesn't want a Romanian moving in next door to him? Or to travel on a train where not everyone is speaking English?

An exaggeration - he said where no one is speaking English. UKIP must tread a careful line. If they tolerate bigots they'll lose the support of reasonable people, as Mosley did in the early 30's. But if they argue re numbers coming in, our desired population density etc they will get more of an audience

 

No, what he SAID was that he was on a train and others were not speaking English, and it made him uncomfortable. This despite his wife speaking German at home.

Given that their entire platform is an exaggeration to generate fear amongst the ignorant, I feel fine about a little poetic licence. Any comment on the Romanians quote? Interesting that you compare them to Mosley, even I hadn't made that leap. Why must UKIP tread a careful line - so they can attract racist and non-racist voters without being labelled racist? The racist taboo is pretty strong nowadays.

 

Is that the bloke wot was put on his 'arris in the battle of cable street?

 

What did you want to ask me toots? i honestly dont know.
Is it what i think obout my origional post? Believe me, i had a month to read over that post and did so many times deciding whether it was correct or not. I still stand by it if thats wht youre asking?
If not then please ask whatever it is you wis to know
Thanks

 

No - he was travelling through South London stations on the train and he said it was not until Grove Park that he could hear English being audibly spoken in the carriage. He wasn't observing that some were speaking in foreign languages, but that no one was speaking English and it made him feel "slightly awkward"
