We've seen the best of this country, it's all getting worse especially for those at the sharp end.
It's gone too far to bring it back now, some things can't be reversed. |

All them fecking "savages" probably coming over here to escape from the misery and poverty in their own countries: I would rather they stayed put and continue to ruin their own countries. Now they are here ruining mine I think I and millions of others should have a say in whether to let any more in. |

Yeah - Thanks saddo - I think we all have the gist of your views on that topic.
But can you not see that you have been taken for a complete mug - while you are wasting all of your time and energy on your complete obsession with that topic and the convenient smokescreen/distraction/blame that it provides - successive governments have delivered all of the following (and much worse): Crime is rife as police almost non-existent now Schools - overcrowded and massively under resourced Rubbish rotting in the streets as only collected every 2 weeks if they are lucky - every 4 weeks if unlucky Medical Care - unless rich/going private - essentially advised - "we're really busy - can you come back when you are better?" Streetlights that go off when it is dark Roads like the 3rd world - looks like IED's have been deployed in the countryside. No job prospects for the young, etc, etc Govt laughing their socks off at you. People seem prepared to argue endlessly (and even march) over trivia but hardly a murmur as their local special needs school, police station, hospital, library, recycling centre get closed. You really have been blind sided. |

Think of it another way, take away the extra ten million arrivals since blair got in and most of those problems above would not be an issue. Too many passengers, the ship is sinking, how surprising.

Throwing people overboard is just a distraction saddo - while you are arguing over which religion/race should walk the plank first - the captain has made the crew redundant, sold the hull, privatised the keel and outsourced the lifeboats to bodgit & scarper.

This thread is about savages running round with knives, not the economy. And I do blame our governments for making all our lives more precarious.

Jesus, mgt taking saddo to school here. Don't think he's in the mood to learn sadly

I do like the implication that anyone whos views differ to ones own requires 'educating'

You can't educate a savage.

Why accept them so readily then ?

This thread is about savages running round with knives, not the economy. And I do blame our governments for making all our lives more precarious. The topic (thread title) was about Asda withdrawing knives from sale - but you have kinda proved my point - as you have translated this into savages running round with knives. i.e. You want to talk exclusively about race and religion to the exclusion of anything else. Meanwhile schools, police, roads, NHS, etc all getting fecked over while you are looking the wrong way. |

Maybe thread should have read "ASDA TO REMOVE KITCHEN KNIVES FROM SALE BUT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KNIFE CRIME"
 |
|
By:
And knife crime has no relationship with slashing police numbers, privatising the probation service, forcing people to live in litter infested slums, failing young people, etc, etc. Its just down to all them horrible foreign people according to you and saddo.
No other issues to solve - send em back, all sorted - well done you! |

By:
If you think everyone that comes here is a terrorist, murderer, stab crazy criminal - are you not in the least interested in the fact that we have no police any more?

By:
It's odd, the more that social standards drop, the more Police we will likely need. No one said that all entrants are criminals, but far too many are, look at the prison statistics.

Note the one minute time lapse . How convenient of you to scour the thread for a post @ 14.35 (over one hour earlier) and attribute my comment to that post because it suited your purpose . The management - Are you a BBC News editor ?  |

By:
Reynard - sorry for not realising that you were only "with Saddo" on the one line of sense that he has typed all day.
When you said "I'm with Saddo" I thought you were agreeing with all of the other bigoted nonsense he has spouted - my mistake. |

I bought some apples from Asda today, they kindly sliced them in the store for me.

Very diplomatic, I am certain it would be.

Yeah - I wonder that too - but not obsessively to the point where it prevents me having a view on anything else. Not to the point where is strangles any news, discussion, debate about the real current issues of the day.
I despair - when I talk with older people, everyone is obsessed/distracted with immigration/Brexit. Supposedly mature people with life experience and some knowledge of history, theoretically educated people, yet so easily blind sided/distracted from talking about the real issues. They just keep coming back to immigration which suits a govt that is quietly shafting them while they are looking the wrong way. So try talking to some young adults instead, it's even scarier. They are either completely socially/politically inactive/ignorant (fair enough - they are busy enjoying their youth) - but the ones that have any active interest in current affairs are too busy debating which toilets the gender neutral should be using. Is that really more important than the £40,000.00+ (and 6% annual interest) that they will already be in debt before they even get their first job? Or that they will work till they drop and never get a pension? or that they will never get on the housing ladder?. I find it baffling. Funny you mention the BBC - same as every other "news" outlet - they do a 1 hour show - it's 58 minutes on Brexit/Immigration! Politicians must be laughing - seems can get away with anything while this is the only item on the agenda for discussion. Looking forward to the next two years of it I expect. |

Why how old are you? You sound about 18, by the cut of your leftie just left school jib. |
|
By:
Yes doc, he's 18 and he opened a betfair account in December 2000.
|
|
By:
It could be his dad's account Muldoon.
If he's 50 he still sounds about 18. Hope that helps. |
|
By:
TM, is that your dad's account?
|
|
By:
Take yourself for instance Muldoon. You've been on here since 2003 and I still regard you as a child.
|
|
By:
Yes but anyone who was ever young would seem young to yourself.

PorcupineorPineapple is another grown up child posting on here.

When I grow up I intend to spend much of my time ranting about immigrants, leftees etc on a betting site's forum.

Good for you Muldoon, that'll make a change from stalking me all day.

Why how old are you? You sound about 18, by the cut of your leftie just left school jib. Typically tribalistic response. Brainwashed into thinking there are only two (extreme) ways of going about anything. If i am not in agreement with all the single-issue nutters on here - does that make me a Leftie? I worked as a trade union negotiator for best part of 30 years Crippen (hence my forum name) - I owned the business relationship with some trade unionists for 20+ years and they still could not bring themselves to use my name at Formal meetings. I have no time for the left or the right - both are completely impractical fixed ideologies. Better to deliver what is required for the situation than have a predetermined, predictable, fixed view on everything. You question my age? - the people that have a left or right view on EVERY issue are the ones that have never grown up. Have a good look at whichever side you like in current issues - say Jacob Rees Mogg or Owen Jones - small minded children the pair of them. Imagine listening to that kind of meaningless, predictable, intransigent drone for 30 years - you would realise anyone with a fixed left/right view on every topic is full of sh!t. |

Thought as much. |
|
By:
Yep - I have shafted more "lefties" than you have had hot dinners - but you think I'm a "leftie"
Business is no different to (party) politics - short term thinking from the folk in control (be it CEO or PM) - they both know they won't be around to suffer the consequences - leave the next guy to clear up the mess. And so on.....ad infinitum. Left is the same - you barely need to brief them to know how they will respond to a proposal. |

By:
Take your blinkers off for 60 seconds - read my 20:03 post again, maybe read past the part you have copied and pasted.
Then come back with your preconceived take on my political stance - that you can read anything I have written on this thread and call me a "leftie" - kind of illustrates my point. I want a police force, properly funded schools, roads I can drive on, street-lighting at night and my bins collected more than once a month. You therefore think I'm a leftie!? - |

Not surprising if you insisted on being called The Management. |
