F1 fan,

Show me where I have blamed them for TG being postponed. You are running out of sensible criticism.

Yes I do blame them for the things I have mentioned and with very good reason. If you don't agree with that you are perfectly entitled to say so but you should also be able to back it up instead of just making NL soundbite type statements.

Well to be fair to you that was actually your pal unclebuck, but the point still stands.

Look I am not going to get into further discussion with you over this as I have no intention of spending my life arguing with someone's online persona on a car BBS, but I think if you were to ask most balanced people on here they would agree that the likes of you, ub and a few others seem to delight in spending their time moaning about the government sometimes with good reason and sometimes because you are too prejudiced to see things as anything other than all their fault.

Take this thread for example:

Britons face a lifetime of debt

You and the other usual suspects seem to lay the blame firmly at the door of the government when the only reason someone gets into massive debt is a lack of self dicispline, people got into huge debt in the 80s too and I don't remember Blair being in power then. There are plenty of other examples, but as I said I don't have the time or the inclination to bother seeking them out as what's the point, this is just a BBS in Cyber World and on the scale of things is pretty irrelevant.

Don't get me wrong I am no fan of this goverment, but equally don't feel the need to spend my life repeatedly posting in here about how bad they are and trying to pin the blame for every little thing that goes wrong in my world at their door. Even your little 'making NL soundbite type statements' jibe above just goes to back up what I am saying. A clearer example of prejudice you will not find which brings me back to my original point.

Anyway that's my final word on the subject. Do with it what you will.

Wonder what you mean by the term "suspects" F1 fan.

Those of us who run this self seeking, lying and hypochritical bunch down do so for very good reasons. We have seen our once great country being dragged down into an immoral and uncaring morass racked with crime of all sorts and we also have seen through their secret agenda which is truly frightening for the future.

You will almost always find that the accusations made against this incompetent organisation are well founded and I for one make no apologies for what I have personally said about it all.

You have of course have already declined any further comments about this and we must draw our own conlusions from that.

Draw what conclusions you like, I simply have a life outside of the Internet and much better things to do with my time than rack up many thousands of posts on a car BBS. That is in no way a judgement on how you choose to spend your time btw, just what works for me.

if you have better things to do, like you say, then why do you keep posting?

Considering the amount you complain therefore you must be Abu Bleedin' Hamza!

No one complains like the Brits do I'm afraid, its in the blood, like talking about the weather to complete strangers.

Muslims complaining is just a sign of integration, we're becoming like you lot and moaning about everything!

Damned integration!

Your core values are the same as mine I'd imagine Asif. However you must admit that many immigrants, say those that have flooded in over the last 5 to maybe 10 years, are not generally inline with society in this country. Speaking in a general sense ofcourse, but saying "were becoming like you lot" would be great if it were actually happening in more than the minority of cases.

I don't think that immigration is the root problem though. Certainly there are socialisation problems, but there were socialisation problems around immigration after colonial independence in the 1960s. I think that the real problem is nearly thirty years of the "I'm rich and I'm taking it all; **** the rest of you" attitude which characterises both Thatcherism and New Labour. Any sense of civil society and obligation to one's fellow citizen, even the simplest notions of social justice have been sacrificed on the altar of greed. It's little wonder that recent arrivals seem avaricious; it's what Britons have been taught to be for nearly three decades by governments of the rich, by the rich, and for the rich. What chance do working people have under such a system?

Agreed that the typical brit is a bit selfish and will do anything for money (avaricious) but that surely is not the main issue here.

It's the resentment towards the western way of life and what it stands for that I don't understand. If you have such a problem with it, why locate to such a country? Take with one hand whilst cursing with the other. We also learn't to seperate religion from life in general a long time ago.

Should we be going backwards, dragging them kicking and screaming forwards, or just being more selective about who we invite into the country to begin with?

Australia, American and many other countries have a much more sensible immigration policy than we do and don't seem to be experiencing this kinds of big fundamental integration problems.

Ben,

I don't think its in the minority at all, certainly not from my point of view.

I was at a family gathering this weekend, my Brothers, Sisters, spouses, and children. Even my Brother in Law, who is 'recently' (15 odd years ago) arrived in the UK and a trustee of a Mosque was going to put up Xmas decorations, for his kids. (this might be for another thread but the point is the same nonetheless)

We all speak English to each other, usually better than most English people I know, we sit and put the World to rights, eat and drink, have a good time, then go home.

We don't have council houses, we own our own homes, all pay taxes, are all well educated, don't break the law, don't claim benefits, kids go to top schools and certainly contribute more to this society than we take out of it.

Our parents came from Pakistan/India and have a very strong respect for Britain and what Britain means. I think in some cases too much respect as we are at times, too deferential to certain British people, who perhaps don't deserve it.

My forefathers fought for this country in the British Indian Army and we are all very proud of that.

Did you know that the British Indian Army, at the time of WWII, was the largest volunteer army, EVER created? Look it up. These people did not just do that for a laugh.

And no, I am not in a minority and get hacked off with people constantly suggesting that I am.

Almost every Asian person that I know has this background and that's more than just two people I'll have you know.

Anyway, I have posted on this topic in the past at great length.

As for new immigrants...i'll do that one tomorrow. Off to bed.

Asif

You know what Kiwi? Its not often I agree with your posts (can't say I have read them all) but I agree with that one completely and would go further in fact.

As I said Les my comment was not being judgemental as towards the way you choose to post on here and it is a shame you have to stoop to a childish swipe at me rather than reciprocate with the same courtesy.

Is it really so hard for you to understand that there are those of us who don't get a hard on about a high post count on Scoobynet? Not what I would have expected from you to be truthful.

its all to late the pc brigade have totally killed this country the trouble we have now is the scum generation are breeding so there seedlings go bad they have babies and so on.

i think national service is the best thing we could offer our countrys future, get every single tax dodger, immogrant, muslim, every one who is living in GreatBritain to do there two years. Under strict traditional british christian way.

give back the teachers there right to wallop the kids and hug them when they have done well.

get rid of all the paper work that the coppers have to do when they stop and search or even question(this was forced on the police by muslims as they thought they was being victamized) Let the coppers give you a mild beating when needed, then get another from your old man for getting invlolved with the police.

sorry there are no dads left in the house its all single parents no father figure no dicsapline.

We need stability , we need dads to be dads 100% its hard for single parents i know but if you decide to have kids have them in a stable reationship.its no joke its hard work being a good parent.

I await the softy softy human rights twerps who are brainwashed living in cookoo land to nail me for this reply but do you know what its your fecking lots fault this country is in the state

Couldn't all these PC folk who seem to cause a lot of tension with their silly rules be classed as ''inciting racial hatered''

Muslims have no problem whatsoever with christmas decorations, but the PC dogooders seem to be portraying them in a bad light

Yes I do You do make some valid suggestions and discipline is lacking at all levels. However was it not the black community which suggested it was being unfairly targetted by the police, which led to questions about stop and search National Service is a good idea but would be hard to implement, besides would you trust the layabouts and loose cannons of society with a gun? Single parent's are a big problem, neutering offenders may help! I would scrap welfare for the lazy and malingerers and force people to work for their keep.

Actually, your 'point' does anything but stand. 1 - I have never blamed the axing of Top Gear on the government. Show me the post where I did. And 2- You then put a link to some random thread to illustrate your point. A thread on which I didn't even post.

Therefore, I put it to you that your 'point' is in fact a load of rubbish.

so we agree then?

national service does not have to include weapons and the police are bogged down by ethnic demands wich has to be the biggest load of bollox going if the ethnics got the pro rata rate down to average figures maybe they wouldent be singled out so often.

maybe if we forced traditional family ways into the socioty i mean forced then single parents would be a thing of the past(generic).

time for radical and stern policy no more fannying about get to the root of the problem stop trying to treat the problem prevent the problem.

What ethnic demands are you talking about?

Don't white people call the Police then?

I'd laugh to see what reaction you would get for re-introducing National Service, that would just be from the indigenous population!

Society has itself to blame for its faults, how can you force anything on anyone?

I sense a slight disconnect between you and reality.

gatty, you might not know it but there are an awful lot of Asians out there who are proud to be British, work very hard and make a huge contribution to the country both economically and culturally. Before you start with boasting about not being 'watered down' by ethnic cultures, I suggest the Asian education ethic might benefit you more than just a little, fella.

Occasionally your posts make good sense, despite being poorly written, but not this prejudiced drivel though.

If you are so English, as you claim, then at least show a little respect for your 'Mother' tongue.

How do you expect foreigners and immigrants to speak English and practice good British values when English people don't even do that themselves?

If you ask me, those immigrants that come here and sponge off the state and are workshy ARE following the fine principle of 'When in Rome...'

Get your own house in order! People in glass houses and all that..

What do you think should happen to English people who "don't speak proppa?" Should they all be shot for treason, as of course they would have no excuse whatsoever for not speaking perfect English, like I do.

As for respect for this country, please read my post #42, shows what "Effniks" like me really think of your 'Motherland'.
