listening to a raido chat show yesterday and it was about OAPs it was said there are 800.0000 OAPs with out central heating or a fridge or a washing machine or some major appliance becace they dont have the funds to buy one or they cant afford to get the broken one fixed. and there are no goverment funds. to help fund them . what is this country coming to. i think it time this goverment done somthing for its own . i wont say what i was going to say i would get band .

Tony and Paul I bet you both want a reduction in public spending too!

But I agree it is criminal, if the government stopped all departments from using management consultants and back tracked on privatisation it would save millions if not billions sadly the majority of the public don't realise this and call for a reduction in the number of civil servants thinking it will make things better it won't it will get worse as the work is out sourced to private companies acting for profit not need.

i say it blunt, i dont think they should give so much money to asylum seekers, this one made me laugh last week.....i was selling a people carrier and a guy came round to look at it...seemed very interested and asked if he could write me a cheque out...turned out he was part of a organisation who bought cars for people...which made me think alittle....so i asked if he could buy me a car...n he replied no...your not a eligable candidade, we buy for people new to this country who struggle to find jobs because they have no transport...basically buying for asylum seekers...now, its good to know we help everyone else, but when it comes to us english we get sod all

Seriously what is the problem with genuine asylum seekers that do have transport provided for them so they are able to set themselves up and become a contributing member of society.

Genuine asylum seekers have fled persecution and not just name calling I'm talking threat of death and torture in their home country and will have abandoned everything they own in there home country and will quite literally only own everything they have carried with them.

What would you prefer allow them to rot on the street and force them to work in the shadow economy or how about not allowing them to come here and face certain torture in their home land.

Don't confuse asylum seekers with illegal immigrants they are a very different thing and don't fall into the daily mail trap either.
18-05-2007
13:32 by WAYNE
alan is a definatly an old woman , lol

how many are genuine? how do you know what they have fled , we are a soft touch and they all know it , to me its all stories, and a load of bull , just an easy way of life .they are bring our housing down thier is not enough housing for the young ENGLISH in this country but they always find some for them and most of them most not all , have loads of kids so they get more benefits ,and most of them are disrespectful to our way of life and socitey and treat this country like a tip , about 20 mins down the road from me they have purposely built loads of housing for them and now it looks like they local tip ....and by the way im not talking about O A Ps im talking about asylum seekers

Alan i noticed the large amount of roma children that have adopted slough as there new home,are you telling me when they grow up they will contribute,could have stopped off a any other country but NO it has to be the uk as the rewards are huge for sitting on your arse its called handout city.Me personally i would like to emigrate to barcalona where people seem a lot more civillised and life seems a lot stressfull but its my partner hanging on in this miserable country.WE CANNOT SOLVE THE WORLDS PROBLEMS .
18-05-2007
13:44 by Ed
Alan you seem to have a problem with the mail what is it ,it is the second or third biggest sellingtabloid with a readership of about 2.5 million ,so i take it you are right and the 2.5million are idiots ,buy the guardian white apologists apoligising for everything thats been done in the last 2000 years what a trash middle class rag.Read the times best out there and reports very similar to the mail but less aggressive and a bit more tactile.
18-05-2007
13:57 by paul stevens
I prefure the daily sport myself its all to life in there.

Alan i think some of your post that you do that are NFR are *** and you just do them for a wind up.

14:13 by Ed
One of my good friends who is 84 and part of the 6th airborne who invaded on DDAY was mugged twice by these so called illegals or asylum seekers at knifepoint ,he asks for nothing receives a pittance and has to pay for his own car ,he often looks around and asks was it worth it but a lot of the younger lads look after him not family.I wonder what goes through his mind looking at today for he cannot ever be rewarded enough for his sacrifice and believe me the leftie labour cronies he has just enough to survive on shame on you,here is a pic of the last medal given out to the old boys 2 years ago in normandy you will probably not seen one.
18-05-2007
15:48 by Alan
Illegals and asylum seekers are not the same what about all the polish people we allowed over here during the second world war who were fleeing the Nazi's should we have left them to the Nazi's.

The daily mail may well be one of the biggest selling papers but I can tell you the bulk of the stories in it are just that stories of fiction and gross misrepresentation and half truths.

And Wayne do you really believe there are not repressed people in this world that require asylum? It must be bliss living in your ignorance of the world.

To all in fact ignorance must be bliss!

Ah, mass panic at it's best. Don't you just love tabloid newspapers?

You do realise that without immigration the UK would have a falling population and as a result less people that could work. But as people are living longer more old people to support. Immigration is a good thing for the UK, we infact depend on it. Yes, I'm aware some don't work and live off benefits but the vast majority come here wanting to work and make a decent lives for themselves in the UK. I honestly don't see whats wrong, after all we are a multi-cultural society, so why not just accept it?
18-05-2007
18:10 by Ed
Who asked us if we wanted to live in a multicultural society or was it just rammed down our throats,yes alan i know there is a difference there is 2million of one and three million of the other the problem is it is not controlled you try getting rid of one they have the might of the liberal elite behind them, check mondays guarden 3 algerian terrorists AW they might be persecuted or tortured in there own country but what about the people they wanted to kill here ,same old story .
18-05-2007
18:41 by -Rob C-
The majority of newspaper are all jumping on the idea of terrorists and asylum seekers, that's why it's on so often. I wouldn't believe everything you read if I were you.

i was in a bank today in whetstone,close to where ed + i live,the fella in front was a foriegner, who couldnt speak hardly a word of english,he was in the bank to cash a total of 4 cheques toatling an amount of £12,500 i peeped over his shoulder as the teller was showing him how to fill in the forms etc,anyway to cut along story short this fella has been in the country just 3 months + the money he was banking was what the relevant government dept had given him to get settled + to buy a car...£12,500 thats only £2,500 less than i get in a year for my pay!alan + rob do you live in a dream world?no prob with immigration? the whole *** country is overrun with immigrants be they legal or illegal,theres too many of em here,i dont care what colour their skin is they shouldnt be here unless they can prove they can benefit this once great country,they're sposed to report to the nearest country to theirs for assylum,but do they? no! they know if they come here they can ponce off of the hard working decent folk of this country.the whole world knows this country is a soft touch thats why they come here,you go to france etc without a job + try to get benefits, youll be booted out on ya ass soon as youve finished filling out the forms!these liberal yoghurt knitters do my *** head in wheres the pride gone in this country,the youth run riot cos they know noone will touch em,neighbours live jowell by cheek for years without talking to each other, red ken concentrates on robbing car drivers with money making traffic cameras instead of knicking scum bag villians this place has become the dustbin of the world,its time to say "no more", + lets get rid of the umpteen thousand illegals + all the ponces + scumbags + all you liberal arse wipes can bring it on cause ive had enough of being a 2nd rate citizen in my own country
18-05-2007
19:55 by -Rob C-
No Telboy, I don't live in a dream world. I'm aware that SOME immigrants come to England purely because of the benefits they can get, and unless the government stops giving so much then the problem will continue. However it's unfair to tarnish the true asylum seekers who have had to flee their own country in fear of persecution as people who come for the money.
I know exactly what it's like to feel like a 2nd rare citizen in my own country, both as a teenager and a geordie. I'm a teenager therefore I must cause trouble and have an asbo. When i went to London I had to say I wanted a cup of tea four times before the woman understood what I wanted.
18-05-2007
19:59 by paul stevens
Here here tel im with you on that one buddy.

Look at whos doing all the scams 90% of them are illegal and legal immigrants and they still get that sort of money that tel was on about and drive around in there jumped up flash cars and us tax payers are paying them scum for it...
18-05-2007
20:11 by -Rob C-
Paul you're making a massive stereotype about immigrants in general. Most aren't here purely for the benefits, but, unfortunately some are.

Also very, very, very few people have 100% English Blood, so most people are decendants of immigrants anyway.
18-05-2007
20:21 by tony
and that is what we are doing paying are taxes to benefit the immigrants . and why are we geting all of them in the uk is because the benefit system is to easy .and as long as we keep giving there keep comeing

telboy well said
18-05-2007
20:33 by telboy
robc,i dont mean to have a pop at you, but as youve said ya self,you are a teenager, do you yet have to work to pay your rent,pay tax,insurance have you been on the council waiting list for 14 years due to all empty homes being given to prioritiesd immigrants,who in turn claim + get every benefit thats available,even though theyve put nothing into this country,have you been waiting in a nhs hospital for hours on end cause of the backlog caused by queues of immigrants waiting for translators so they can describe the diseases theyve brought into this country that untill recently were wiped out,do you worry bout your children being bullied + attacked by gangs of immigrant kids + teenagers who have moved into certain areas + claimed it as a no go area for white kids are you old enough to witness the explosion of foriegners that have come into this country over the last 10 years or so? i doubt it, folk of your age have grown up not knowing anything else mate,thats why you dont notice it as much as we "olduns" do
18-05-2007
20:42 by paul stevens
I wanted to say something like that tel but i was eating my dinner and you beat me to it.

Thats the thing these days it is drumed into our kids today that they are part of this country and they arnt they are just ponces.

not Red Indians Ed

everyone commenting on this thread me included are purely expressing personal view points. We all have our own prejudices.

i am sure when people see foreigners getting housing its easy to assume that they get first preference, but the only way you will know is if you get full statistics on it.

If i were the PM my first priority would be to literally stamp out anti-social behaviour and clean up the estates. Now my OWN personal experience in that most of the teenagers causing trouble and making peoples lives hell are WHITE. I like to refer to the term White-Trash, sorry about that, its an old habit of mine. I am white myself. Also they are mostly from white-trash parents who cant be bothered to raise their kids right and so EVERYONE else in the area has to suffer.

I say tag the lot of them and steralise the parents

19-05-2007
11:29 by Ed
We ive n a nanny state now jim where politicians know better how to bring up your kids,some people mostly the trash parents prefer this as there problem kids are no longer there problem cant be arsed to teach them right from wrong.I dont know where you live jim but beleive me you go to archway north london and watch these kids at bus stops its like an anarchist movement they dont talk its like monkeys grunting to each other some prehistoric communication and loads of cops to keep the peace.My own kid go to private school i could not let them go to these schools imagine how they would end up well thats the soft liberal labour party for you bring up little animals with no respect and suprise they grow into bigger animals.

wow, a very interesting debate really has kicked off here aint it i believe there more of them here than you think there is...for example...i kicked off with an ethnic minority the other week because the c**t broke my phone when i asked him to put a new cover on, me not realising this until i was a 100yrds down the road didnt help because when i took it back he completely denied ever seeing me or ever touching my phone....at this time i felt like smashing his head through a brick wall anyway when i did kick off they came at me like a swarm of bees. god knows where they came from but there must have been 30 of them so basically i dont know where they live, but there EVERYWHERE hidden in all the dark corners waiting to rob us english silly

i started this thread about OAPs and glad i did its been one of the best yet thanks guys and girls
19-05-2007
18:36 by Jim Son
Ed - VERY well said i take my hat off to you. If i had kids definitly have to be private school if i could afford it but my concern with that, is if kids go private school are they going to properly equipped to deal with all the "scum" they going to come across.

Its about time we got TOUGH with teenagers running out of control.

Fine the parents, take it out of there benefits, lots of the parents of these "trash" are scroungers anyway.

Tony - sorry taking it away from old folk, but then again how many trashy teenage kids are making OAPS life hell? loads i bet.

19-05-2007
18:58 by -Rob C-
It's really not as many as you think, I can honnestly say that the teenagers I know don't steal or mug old people or whatever else you want to make out. This is including teenagers from my old school which wasn't private and was by know means a posh school. There really isn't a massive problem, there is in some areas, and of course the Media has jumped on this.
I'm aware some teens do cause trouble, but the vast majority don't.

there are 10.000 polish in the little town that i live in . there are 480 people who are being made redundant from the factory where i work , and we have all been told we can claim next to nothing from the government . and we are to join the que at the employment agencys behind the polish if they get there first . I RECON RESURECT GUY FORKS AND BLOW UP PARLIAMENT
19-05-2007
22:14 by Linda Chenapa
Ste - will you be entitled to redundancy pay? If so the min. that they can pay you is 1 weeks pay for each year you have been there. That then gives you another problem, if you get too much, then you can not claim benifets
20-05-2007
06:13 by paul stevens
This is true linda and steve if they say that they have gone bankrupt then all you get is about £650 if your lucky.

They are doing the same at my place aswell.. they have already laid 1300 staff of and thats just in the states they have got to hit the uk and europe yet.
20-05-2007
08:56 by Ed
Interesting thread tony it just got a little waylaid from the point you was making about OAP ,i have been on numerous military parade with my old pal he likes you to bring him as his legs are not that good but you want to see these fellas when there in there ranks and marching its like there capturing there youth again.I was in normandy 2 years ago actually ther ewas 17 of us and you should see how the french goverment look afte these guys no exspence spared even the younger generation will just walk up and shake hands with the old boys and we all know this would not happen back home.It is sad the way the elderly are treated here given the odd crust when voting day comes but this time i think this labour crowd after been kicked in the tail at the polls will think a lot more carefully about the way they treat our elderly instead of rushing out to give out handouts to all the scroungers that hit our shores.
20-05-2007
15:07 by tony
ed i agree with what you have said on this thread and a lot of the other comments that have been made and dont blame you one bit for wanting to emagrate. this country as gone to the dogs . i have got some friends in france and they always comment how well the elderly are treated . and thats how it should be here in the uk. instead of giving with one hand and taking it back with the other. theres to much money wasted on the scroungers and immigrants.
21-05-2007
09:09 by Alan
And you really think France is more Rightwing than the UK do you.

Unions have more power the people have more power they have just the same issues as us with the poor.

As I said ignorance must be bliss!
21-05-2007
13:02 by Ed
Ignorance alan do not get confused between ignorance and not agreeing with you,bye the way sarkozky is the new president of france and is very right wing and is out to break the unions and bring france back into economic prosperity and also please dont try and make everyone else who does not agree with you out to be some type of moron remmember the word DEMCORATIC ,EVERYONE HAS A VOICE NOT JUST YOU.
21-05-2007
14:43 by Alan
I am well aware of the new president in France being extremely rightwing his early proposals are to slash union powers and employee rights which in part led to the numerous instances of Civil unrest in France.

Currently though France is exceedingly leftwing compared to the UK it won't last but hey ho.

Personally I think anyone that believes the press is a moron and you clearly blindly believe the press it is rather depressing that the media has captured the thoughts of so many and twisted them into rightwing thinking on the basis of spureous headlines and inaccurate often fictional news stories.

21-05-2007

alan you are a self conceited twat, its not the press i believe, its everyday living in this country, personal experiences + experiences of everyday folk that i know + talk to, you may have a blinkered view on everything that happens, maybe you dont actually live in the real world, left wing yoghurt knitters like you are whats wrong with this country, for a small general poll on whos right or wrong just check out the responces to this 1 thread, only you + robc think its OK whats happening to this country, everyone else is sickened by it, so in a democratic society you lose + we win

Telboy go and play with your spam javelin for a bit it and come back when you can provide a vaguely considered useful response like me!!!
21-05-2007
16:17 by Alan
And Telboy where did I say whats happening in this country is ok. The country is controlled by the media which controls our thoughts (see above) in order to cause public sensation and sell papers, its disgusting.

The press describe illegal immigrants as Asylum seekers demonising Asylum seekers, I mean for christ sake they got enough grief in the countries they fled and so what if they don't settle in the first country they get to the fact they want to settle in the UK says someithing about the tolerance of this country although reading some of these comments you have to wonder. As far as illegals go deport them simple they came here illegal and did not claim asylum at the border therefore deport them simple. Unfortunately this goverment doesn't do that due to capitalist lawyers misusing the human rights act making it virtually impossible to deport illegals.

As far as jobs go those asylum seekers waiting to be granted asylum are not allowed to work so firstly there not nicking all of our jobs and secondly how do you propose they live if they have no income in one of the most expensive countries to live in in the world? Or do you propose that they apply for asylum by post from the country they wish to flee I'm sure the oppressive regime they wish to escape would be more than happy to let them do that right before carving them up with power tools to set an example to other dissidents.

Illegal immigrants cannot get work legally and if you suspect an employer is employing an illegal immigrant may I ask have you reported it? If not why not and if you haven't then what the h e l l do you expect the country to do about it.

The Civil Service has been butchered as have all public services we can no longer keep an eye on everything we are dependent on the public reporting suspect behavious i.e. employing illegals.

In addition this country is turning into the 51st state of America the governemtnis pandering more and more in favour of the rich and big business what about the little man like you and me and Ed if we were multimillionaires great we would be quids in paying proportionatly less tax than just about every other group of tax payers in the country equally if we had a big business such as Tesco's we could afford to set up tax avoidance schemes unchallenged enabling them to out compete all the small business in the country its disgusting.

The country is capitalist poo at the moment new labour are simply new conservative as far as I am concerned and if you think the tories will do any better just have a think and try and remember the tory glory days they did just as much if not more damage than labour have done. Sadly this country has become a country dominated by 3 identical political parties. Call that a democracy Ed and Telboy I don't. The media have sculpted the views of the people on flawed intelligence simple as that if you believe the press more fool you!
21-05-2007
16:21 by telboy
i thought i had alan, or is it yet again that only you are right + everybody else is wrong,as per usual left winger who cannot see whats actually going on all around him so defers to party policy,any mention of somethings wrong with our country + the right wing racist chants are being spouted,typical blue collared civil servant wont admit whats wrong incase they lose their job of protecting the scum instead of working towards a better life for all the hard working indigenous folk + i include non whites in that statement,tell me ken, i mean alan whats toytown like this time of year? you arrogant, self centered liberal. + by the way whats a spam javelin? wouldnt happen to be what all ya left wing buddies stick up ya rectum when ever a new biros issued at the civil service annual " lets see how much more we can rip these suckers off for" event would it?
21-05-2007
16:40 by paul stevens
