is nobody else watching this rubbish??
|
|
By:
yes, why is it rubbish? Just stating facts. Too many immigrants.
|
|
By:
what facts? all ive seen so far is english people moaning they cant get a job and the dance hall has closed down. probably in about 1958. dozy old duffer.

id give marilyn one any day. a job i mean.
|
|
By:
well i only switched on at 9-30. Unfortunately missed the first half. Seen no moaning so far. Just decent white people stating what 1000's think.

Who's Marilyn?

By:
the french girl.

Nick and Margaret ain't that smart.
Started off by stating 13% of UK population were immigrants, then said it was one in three in London. Then she wondered why young immigrants came to work in London but not people from other parts of the UK. Probably a condition of her contract for the programme that she does n't have to go north of the Watford Gap. |
|
By:
Oh right, mainly listening, not watching. I'd give her one. What's she look like?
 |
|
By:
id rather have her waiting for me than the english bloke. harsh, but true!
|

By:
missed a trick here. should have put the english team against the immigrants team in challenges. an apprentice challenge and an its a knockout style running about in bear suits one. probably no stuart hall doing the commentary though.

It's not really comparing like with like though. Marilyn is just here for a few years to learn the language, live in a different country and earn a few bob so more of a traveller backpacker student type so she'll live like that as it's part of the experience.
The guy from Romford is looking for something permanent and long term. The days of young working class lads being able to take a job, progress, have security, be able to get their own place, raise a family, have a decent pension at the end of their working life are pretty much over. In the days of my parents, my in laws - that was the norm. |

Nick and Margaret ain't that smart. they ain't daft |
|
By:
agree squares. British lad was thick as fook.
|
|
By:
the problem with working class brits is theyre stupid. not sure why thats the fault of immigrants?
|
|
By:
that lad had been out of work for 2 years (if I heard right) and wasn't on the books of any job agencies, I mean for ffs. Was there this many thick folk in the uk 40 years ago?
|
|
By:
Did not see any of this was sir Alan in it?
|
|
By:
loads of foreign students here, and most of em speak english a lot better than half of the working class english do. its hardly surprising they cant get a job. its convenient blaming their lack of skills on immigrants. lazy and stupid, of course they cant get a job ffs.

right about Ilford though went through it the other week

By:
no wonder Wonga are flourishing I suspect 75% of the people using them, haven't got a clue if you asked them about the interest they are paying.
|
|
By:
i was only a toddler 40 years ago. i dunno. id say there were a lot more jobs for thick people. mining, manual labour etc. the world has moved on, working class people havent. well, some have progressed and some have gone backwards.
|

By:

Youngsters don`t seem to read books like we used to. Is everything too easy now, it`s just a click away, the answers that is, two more clicks and it`s forgotton if you follow me. |
|
By:
^^^ agree 100% now they are in the call centres
 no wonder miners had it in for thatcher , they knew they weren't capable of doing anything else. |
|
By:

Im sure there were just as many 40 years ago, but menial jobs were easy to find. Now with automation and the 6-8 million growth in population, the menial jobs are going to those with a degree |

its benefits culture. generations of families have been tought they can just sit on their arse all day watching telly and still get enough money to buy tv's, games consoles, ****, booze and crack. the harder life bites back at them, the weaker they get cos they havent got the mental strength to actually do summat for themselves. no govt has ever tackled it head on.
|
|
By:
lol. tought! i probably meant taught. i type too fast.
|
|
By:
on that basis....when did the rot set in? ^^^
|
|
By:
bob - I'm not sure benefits will pay for all that lot, will it?
|
|
By:
not now, but it used to.
|
|
By:
There are certainly less jobs for thick people, and even then the workload has to be light.
One bloke the other day only had two tasks this week, put a woman in charge of an inquiry, heard the uproar about conflict of interest and got her to step aside before anyone noticed. Cabinet re-shuffle was yesterday`s job, put more women in and one of the bitch`s got into the wrong f*cking car  Speaks posh too. |
|
By:
benefits used to be quite decent back in the early 90. many people were better off being on the dole, getting all the housing benefits etc than working. obviously prices of everything have gone up like buggery in recent years.

lol politicians have always been idiots. not many would argie otherwise.
