Left Back Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 1 minute ago, Dawson Park Boy said: Well, other East or South Eastern European countries like Greece,Montenegro, Macedonia, etc. Albania, I think is in NATO, is applying to join the EU, so must have all or most of the pillars of parliamentary democracy. Why, therefore, cannot its citizens go through the normal channels for coming to the UK just like others? Don't think any Albanian feeling the need to cross the channel in an inflatable dinghy would have much chance of being allowed to move to the UK legally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you admit it Asim. I will not lower myself to your level though. Actually, why are we arseholes? Because we have different views and opinions?

Why do you keep making sock puppet accounts? Is it some kind of bizarre hobby?

Have you ever watched it Jeff? The presenters let people from all political parties, people from all different walks of life and people will different views have their say without getting abused or shouted down.

Billy Jean King Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Albanians are being brought in by gangs as these people reckon they can fill the "black market" slave wage type jobs previously filled by EU citizens pre brexit / pandemic. As long as gang masters and unscrupulous business owners are operating in the UK, people from traditional low pay countries like Albania will be tempted to risk their lives and freedom for what we see as diabolical wages and conditions but to them are better than they can earn in their own country. See any shitey hand car wash in any town in the UK for evidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussion of GB News belongs in this thread as its continuing pandering to a reactionary, right wing and going even further to the right, is an extremely worrying move. All news programmes are tailored to a specific audience. GB News unfortunately panders to a side of society it pains me to see happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antlion Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 3 minutes ago, Snafu said: Fanta is another one, created in Nazi Germany due the American trade embargo causing a shortage of corn syrup for making the coca-cola. it was created with ingredients available beet sugar, whey and apple pomace. Fanta in its worldwide famous orangeness didn't appear until 1955. Fanta was my first thought but apparently it actually has no connection to the regime and the inventor actively resisted joining the Nazis. Its sole link to Nazism is that it was created in Germany by a German employee of the American Coca Cola company whilst the Nazis were in power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows how much politics have shifted and intolerance for people not born in England is now allowed out in the open. The awfulness of much of the output brings a foreboding that it is going to get even worse Trump has clearly moved the dial but that is no excuse for this unremitting refluxing of contemptible pulp I'm putting my hope that our douce electorate will see a path away from SW1A 0AA from whence this is promoted -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
