No I just get the chauffeur to shine the lights from the Roller into the little blighters eyes, It's so now.
and so easy.
Some people have no sense of humour , not surprised that "polly put the kettle on' has chimed in knowing her antipathy for anything bearing the "made in USA" stamp.
Doh....just to let you know , most Americans also clean their own homes and cut their own grass , but most do the gardening/weeding /hoeing and sowing either midweek or on a Saturday , Sundays we save for church going , like all good Christians . Personally I do as little shopping on Sundays as I can , I was raised a good socialist and dont believe in exploiting the workers , which you obviously do .
As for being obese ......I still have a few pairs of 32" waist jeans in the wardrobe , in the hope that one day God willing they will fit again , they are alongside the 34" and 36 " .
I knew you were joking,but can we stop coming out with big words - Antipathy - indigenous,i prefer Autochthonous but then again we all have
our own Idiosyncrocies

I think the immigrants who work do contribute to the economy, but not in a way that many people recognise, in places like china where the average wage is low, they dont need cheap labour, here, where wages are much higher, some companies would go out of business without the cheap labour, some companies take shameless advantage of cheap labour too, companies pay big taxes, what they buy and sell is heavily taxed, so therefore keeps the economy moving, if they go out of business, it reflects on the economy, I dont agree with it, but given the situation in this country, dont see how it is going to change, in recent years, we, in the main have been changed into greedy people, and that is what has kept prices rising to obscene levels, but I still blame maggie for that.
Sorry Derek , I disagree with that , the rot set in Accrington in between the Wilson and Heath Premerships , late 60s eary 70s , myself and other old wrinklies on the site can tell you about the days full employment in the town at Howard and Bulloughs , Laing Bridges, Emerson and Renwick , J T Rothwells ,Foster Yates and Thoms (Blackburn), Lucas (Burnley) English Electric (Clayton) all employing skilled labour , 15 yr old kids fought for apprenticeships at these places thinking they had a job for life ...soon to be dis-illusioned when the money men took over . I can remember the day when Rothwells closed and the then local MP Arthur Davidson (labour) came down and said how sorry he was , but it as just economics ...sucessive Govts , both Labour and Tory have never in my mind given a toss for the north west , just in my mind relying on the traditonal vote and then treating the folk like crap .......
am I bitter , yeah you bet your ass I'm bitter , but I have had to move on and create a new life for myself , but one thing , I will never in my life trust another politician , everyone wether it be local or national they are all thieving lieing swines
over to you, G Bush, G Pope, G Jones or any other elected representative who cares to answer .......
Yes SJ, I can see your point, but have no recollection of the companies you mention, the point being, Maggie was the start of things becoming considerably worse for my era, and consecutive politicians have done little or nothing to stem the tide, and as you say, promise, promise, promise = lies, lies, lies, oh and theft!
He is in prison for trying to sell Russian Nuclear missiles to terrorists. You have to make a living some how these days.
Think the title of the thread says what is happening locally and probably nationally as well!! Money can be found to try and integrate people who have no intention of integrating whilst there is no money for the indegenous population. As for the jobs they are taking them away by working for less than minimum wages. If you believe what you have posted about them paying into the economy then it is time you took your blinkers off. They are working for less than minimum wages but getting that topped up with benefits and not spending over here but sending most of the money HOME!!! Meanwhile the emergency services have to learn the basics of another language in case of an emergency!!!
But unfortunately it isn't a penny but £400,000 and not a lot we can do to avoid it!! Plus all the emergency services acting as interpeters, it is getting beyond a joke.
Does anyone have the link to this story, as I can't find it?
I want to know where this money's come from.
Although the story was printed in Friday's Telegraph it isn't on their website yet, probably like the Observer does, to ensure people still buy their paper first, before putting all the latest news online.
Probably be Monday now.
Some friends of ours emigrated to France - they took French lessons and don't expect people to speak English on their account. I think you'll find Roy doesn't expect interpreters everywhere he goes in Russia either. But here in this country we provide interpreters for every immigrant group. It does seem topsy turvey. I used to praise the Polish immigrants of past generations for learning English and settling in and integrating whilst still retaining their identity and links to their origins. It was a balance. Unfortunately it's all one-sided with the latest batch of immigrants.
Money makes the world go round! Thats why I'm in Russia and why the polish come to england. Of course they are in it to make money and send to families, why else move countries? All my money is earnt in Russia, but I pay taxes back in the UK, and spend most of it in UK as well.. I guess this makes me even worse than the polish, at least they pay taxes in our country.
The government obviously think they will earn more from investing in the immigrants than investing in locals, who can blame them. Take a look around Accrington at all the people on benefits, that have had tons invested in them allready from the government - what good do they do for any of us? And they can allready speak the lingo (some of them anyway).
Instead of looking at what is spent on the immigrants (400,000, woohoo), look at what the real expenses of the area are!

I am going to ignore the childish quote from a nursery rhyme though I feel it may say much about its author.
Personally I seen nothing 'funny' about stereotyoping and making fun of ethnic groupings, it merely reinforces their disadvantaged position in society.
As for your comment about Sunday shopping this illustrates a lack of understanding of British culture.
Sunday opening was first allowed in the midd 1990's (94 I think but can't be sure) and has prospered ever since.
Religion isn't really an issue in the country as only 10% of the UK population go to church regularly and 59% (eg the vast majority) do not go to church at all.

Clearly you have been away rather a long time we are no longer rulled by the tyranny of the church, though it is an option for those who wish to avail themselves of it.
Real socialism is about answering to yourself and society, no one and nothing else.
In my experience many of our workers, request to work Sunday, particularly those with family responsibilities like to work on Sundays as this is the only day of the week when they do not have to pay for expensive childcare.
