History of the corner shop (immigration)

[ellal]

The "auf wiedersehen " lot plying their trade across Europe and further afield didn't take their family along to live with them, claiming benefits in the process . I seem to remember them roughing it in a shed on site. Some migrant workers here did the same, just working to send money home.

Ah, so the british migrant worker is better than other migrant workers?

And is that why british people living abroad are known 'fondly' as 'ex-pats' whilst those from other nations living here are labelled as immigrants?

Went by the name of joe90...

Wow, blast from the past.

If you say so, I certainly didn't.

 

[denso13]

Care to answer that question?

Priceless...

 

[Ihavenojob]

It was a question

Rhetorical sounding one though.

 

[Bod ...]

We did?
Remind me.

I'm too childish for your grown up tunnel conversion... along them sort of lines I think

 

[Bod ...]

PMSL...

You're not 'silly sometimes', you're actually very stupid all of the time...

And you remind me of an 'ex pat' who also apparently lived in Australia for a while...

Went by the name of joe90...

Also just as stupid, so it wouldn't come as any surprise to find out you are 'related'

I see some of his posts (He is still active, never closed his account)

He was in Aus for 15 years apparently. Me 2 years in total.

I'm a nice fella He does seem a bit of a tit. Maybe that's why you were so fascinated by him....

You know the old saying ....Oppo-tits attract.

 

[Bod ...]

We all know you are clueless and thick as sh*t...

Your on a bitter and twisted roll today....

 

[Pat ex]

That did last long.

I thought we agreed not to interact with each other?

We did?
Remind me.

I'm too childish for your grown up tunnel conversion... along them sort of lines I think

Your mistake then?
You DID unilaterally agree with yourself not to interact with me?

DID is an acronym: Dissociate Identity Disorder, more commonly known as Multiple Personality Disorder.

Or it could be you remembering events as you wished they had occurred.

The ordinary person makes faulty self-attributions in memory all the time. Most of us have a desire to view our identity in a positive way. As a result, when events occur that challenge our self-image, the memory of those events morph over time until eventually the rough edges are smoothed over and we emerge the hero.

Why We Remember Things the Way We Want to Remember Them

... and why we're often more heroic in those memories.

But maybe you could tell us who I may have reported?

If you know the answer, then that is very 'telling' in itself

Yep, mistype like I said. I meant cont.

Urban Dictionary: CONt

In (Dis)United Kingdom cont means CONservative Toff. A ridiculous person, possibly of an aristocratic or otherwise upper class background with considerable disdain and contempt for poorer people than him/herself. Politically aligned the CONservative party and its right wing ideology...

For me, this is immigration working as it should.

For me, recent events in Leicester have shown how well immigration has worked

Caused by right wing politics.
If only the police weren't so busy elsewhere.
And don't forget that much antagonism was created by the division of India.
Now who organised that division?

Of course violence after sporting fixtures is not new to UK:

England has famously seen rioting and violence on the streets by drunken hooligans following football matches. Most recently, there was chaos at Wembley after fans without tickets stormed the stadium where England were playing Italy for the European Championship in July 2021. The lawlessness was described as the worst in the UK in a decade.

Caused by right wing politics.

Yes by the right wing politics of the immigrants

 

[Pat ex]

Yes by the right wing politics of the immigrants

Right-wing politics of a few immigrants, but right-wing none-the-less.
It doesn't make much difference who's right-wing politics it is, it's all designed to foment division and violence against some other faction.
It's been true throughout history, with Fascists, Nazis, Franco's Nationalists, etc. And that's just Europe.
Even so called left-wing parties can be right-wing in their doctrine of power for the few over the masses, e.g. Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc.
