Tory UK EU Exit Referendum

[Greebozz]

Fuck off. Cheers.

You've insulted me I'm going to insult you back. You have a very bad haircut which looks stupid, your friends don't really like you and you are a disappointment to your parents. Your comments sound really dumb and you are a complete waster who will achieve nothing today apart from sitting around playing on their computer eating junk food putting on even more weight.

I love British culture, I feel we importing people who don't know what British culture is and are bringing their own backward, prejudiced and nationalistic interests to this country for their own gain.

What is "British culture"?

As for "backward, prejudiced and nationalistic interests", you're something of a purveyor. No?

 

[nino_savatte]

I put time and effort into it.

I doubt that. Your efforts on these boards being a testament to that. The word I'd use is 'slapdash'.

 

[nino_savatte]

For myself, I truly understand the depression and despondency of living in a conquered and subjugated country.

Yeah? And where is this "conquered and subjugated country" of which you speak?

More English than British, surely?

moving large stones all over the place then?

British culture: robbing people blind and telling them it's 'good for them' and rewarding spivs with peerages, while telling people they're 'wealth creators'. Howzat?

 

[bi0boy]

That's a Spanish/Italian import apparently.

Heh, psychologist not likely to be a good career path for you then

[Pickman's model]

For myself, I truly understand the depression and despondency of living in a conquered and subjugated country. This is how I feel about Britain's relation to Europe. Having no control over who comes into this country, is exactly the same as a country that has been conquered, it makes no difference that Britain has been tricked by treaty rather than losing a war.

The sense that the fabric of society has changed irrevocably, Britain now a land of overcrowded spaces, shortages of accommodation and loud groups speaking in unidentifiable foreign languages everywhere. Generally people trying to make Britain in exactly like the culture and country they came from.

It's depressing in the same way as a proud and dynamic business owner signing a dodgy contract and finding himself an anonymous wage slave with no power and no control over his businesses destiny.

The most painful blow of all is the British citizens determined to their dying breath to give Britain a way, let it be swallowed up by a European super state. It's as painful as a parent seeing their own child denounce them to the authorities in some hideous totalitarian regime in history.

All the while more people come to Britain, delighted to be here, adventurers staking out claims as if uninhabited lands to be colonised.

why don't you fuck off then?

I like your little flourishes there 'adventurers staking out claims' and the like. I can see that yes, you have put real effort into finding a way to say 'I don't like forriners'. Very creative. Now do it as a Haiku.

For the record, I think stethoscope has a fine haircut, but unless you can demonstrate that her hairstyle will somehow be affected by the EU ref, I can't really see what any of your post has to do with the subject of this thread

"The endless procession of 44-tonne juggernauts hauling past the BP garage day and night offered a clue as to why this quiet rural town had become a hub for crime. The Fens – the bleak, marshy flatlands of East Anglia – produce more than a third of the UK’s vegetables and are a powerhouse of agricultural exports. The constant “just-in-time” replenishment of goods at the heart of today’s retail and manufacturing business models requires an equally constant replenishment of workers, ordered at short notice. To turn labour on and off like a tap you need a surplus, just waiting for the late-night text, desperate enough to take 12 hours’ work one day, and nothing the next. That pool has itself required constant replenishment with new arrivals of changing nationalities, in repeated waves of immigration, since only the newly arrived or the vulnerable will put up with the conditions.

So long as the referendum has no effect on stethoscope's football allegiance then I'll be happy.

Actually you reacted to that really well, I'm impressed, I was trying to put you in a box as if I know stuff about you.

 

[The39thStep]

It's a good article, makes you wonder whether the UK agricultural market would collapse in that area as its business model ( in many ways responding to the supermakets business model) seems entirely unsustainable without the sort of cheap and no rights labour that a migrant workforce supplies. Of course the alternative is self organisation of labour to demand proper wages and conditions.

I've written something which is exactly how I feel, I put time and effort into it. You can't argue with how I feel, and you've written two dumb comments, "Drivel, racist drivel", that's your sum total. I'm not replying to you I'm replying to the hundreds of people who read this board but don't post comments.

Because you feel something doesn't immunize it against being both drivel and racist; feeling isn't some sort of 'get out of jail free card'...and that is a very good thing.

I had A "Free Tibet" T-shirt one time, I wonder how they feel about the convoys of Chinese people immigrating to their country. Britain seems to be the only country that has a anti-nationalism police force but every culture, religion and race the comes to Britain is an nationalistic to their own country to the most incredible extent. Because we don't really mix with other communities, don't get me wrong the intelligent people do, there are good honourable people everywhere but there is another strata, a dumber powerbase interested in control and furthering their own interests.

I love British culture, I feel we importing people who don't know what British culture is and are bringing their own backward, prejudiced and nationalistic interests to this country for their own gain.

So it's not just foreigners you don't like but also 'dumb' Brits.

Perhaps you are upset because you see the bit in bold as your job.

I've had several arguments about this, I don't think there is a defined British Culture, so how it can be defended or attacked is beyond me. Usually the 'defenders' of British Culture talk about Justice, democracy, a sense of fair play, and then come over all John Major and talk about warm beer and cricket on village greens

You are racist scum, and a xenophobic douchebag.

Those two comments are all that what you wrote is worth.
And as for claiming to speak to some amorphous "silent majority", that's crap. You can't reply to people who haven't spoken, Brainiac.

Britishness itself was constructed through a combination of coercion and bribery, so it follows that 'British culture' is entirely imagined - usually by the likes of Greebozz, the NF, UKIP and the BNP.
