wellyman Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 An opinion poll for the Sun has found more people thought none the worse of Gordon Brown for describing a Labour voter as a "bigoted woman". But isn't that the whole point? All it is saying that many people didn't care but others did. So if some of those who did care don't vote for him he has lost votes. The poll doesn't say loads of folk who didn't care about it will now vote for Brown because of what he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastbank Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 It may not have been a rigorously researched programme, but where were the hardworking English prior to the programme being made? How come Polish workers who were having to travel thousands of miles, getting to the front of the job queue ahead of local people who only had to get on a bus to get an interview? you will find most of the poles have gone home...leaving us with the romanians.....who are really the top of the league when it comes to scrounging...even beating our lot into second place...now the lads at the car wash are from eastern europe and they are top drawer...even they hate the romanians..:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I think considered her to be a bigot due to the inarticulate, tabloid-fuelled way she was trotting out Mail-esque bluster; Well yes, he thought exactly like you. He thought that anybody who expressed an opinion about immigration that wasn't totally and utterly in favour of mass immigration was an inarticulate, tabloid-fuelled moron trotting out Mail-esque bluster. Just because her opinions didn't exactly match his he dismissed them as worthless. That's why people are p****d off - if you mention you might have the slightest reservations about immigration you are automatically a bigot who should be ignored. As I've said before, I don't want the BNP to get into government but I truly believe they will within ten years purely because anybody in mainstream politics who tries to address the issue is instantly shut down by people like you screaming racism and shut down any debate.

They weren't 'at the front of the queue' they just undercut the English so were given the jobs ahead of them and drove wages down for Brits in the same job. How evil of the English to expect anything more than poverty wages. And would you find it acceptable for someone to say the Irish or Jamaicans were lazy and feckless and if they were out of work it was their own fault because they were bone idle? No you wouldn't, you'd have a total hissy fit - but you find it totally acceptable for people to say that about the English. Racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Isn't that known as "shutting down debate" as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Oh, and they undercut them because they were happy to live in terrible conditions for a year or so then go back home with their savings which would afford them with a comfortable life for years. But if you actuallly are resident in the UK and want to carry on living here you're just stuck with these poverty wages which offer no quality of life for the rest of your days.

Milford Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 How is libuse "shutting down debate" exactly? Because libuse considers anyone who isn't completely positive about immigration as a 'bigot' with opinions that are not worth listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We planned it that way so that you'd all leave for Marbella. We're having a big party when you're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Because libuse considers anyone who isn't completely positive about immigration as a 'bigot' with opinions that are not worth listening to. Yet the debate continues... not really "shutting down" so much as "not shutting down". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
