Ok, so I woke up this mornin' is a good mood....
Staggered out of bed to the Bathroom... tried to take a piss with my eyes, shut....
... washed my feet.
sat down on sofa, with cereal and coffee, flick on Beeb 1......
"Blair is going to apologise for the slave trade, and event that happend over 200 years ago....."
I get the vanish out to mop up the spat out coffee.
Just as I'm ready to start again...."yes green tax is the way to go, people should start paying by the mile"
My new carpet is now on order....
Have I woken up in another dimension or something!!
Christ this is first I've heard of all these. (I don't really watch the news normally, as it's such crap.)
Have the folks in charge just lost the plott completly.
So now, I won't be able to afford to go to my inlaws (not always a bad thing) or my mums anymore, without Paying per mile.
This once was a free country, but soon I woun't be able to drive where I like, throw away my rubbish, or say that the slave trade was a good thing, as it helped intergrade the native Africans with the rest of the world.... 8-)
rather hell, how long was I out for.....
Cheers.

I was only kidding on the bit about the slave trade.. it was a bad thing, but I'm not saying sorry for something I didn't do.... >:(

The slave trade was disgraceful.
However, the daft woman on the beeb this morning lost the arguement in my book when she said she only wanted to claim compensation from European countries? Not African countries whose leaders encouraged the trade, nor the americans who were also heavily involved.
Sorry, but it was just clear that she knew that the Brussels PC Brigade are an easy target.

Yup... I would have to agree... thats all it's about at the end of the day....."Compensation".... >:(
Guess who'll pay for the "Compensation", it sure as hell won't come out of Tonys Wage packet!!

[smiley=lolk.gif] ;D ;D That made me smile Matt but I know exactly how you feel. I get so pi**ed off and disillusioned the way this country's going. I don't mean to offend any Labour party or Blair supporters out there but since that lot have been in power we've been innundated with loony PC brigade and Health and Safety policies, overrun with aylum seeking and illegal immigrant freeloaders and had the Great taken out of Great Britain. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!

Silly me..... with all the money they will make from people having to pay to go to work and drive there cars, there will be plenty to give away as Compensation! >:(
See how all it's all interlinked.... they give it with one hand (usually to some Gay Lesbian Black Afro-caribean Muslim Catholic Outer Heberadies Choir Group - They are quite good, I heard them once, but just using them as an example), and take it away with another (usually from middle England).

I agree in the most part, what are your feelings re the alternatives?

Its too much, too quick. People just cannot keep up with it, so become apathetic and dont even try.

Hmmm......that's a difficult one. I'm not sure that any of the party's are capable of sorting out the mess at the moment. The Tories always promise to sort out Labour's mess if they get into power and then they become just as bad once they're in. It needs someone to take a hard line on the issues I mentioned earlier and I don't think there's any politicians about with the balls to do it at present.
I could get on my soap box and ramble on for ages when it comes to this country's politics, but I'll save you all the agony. ::)

The part that really grips my sh*t is that these b*stards are suppose to represent US. Its the old story, once they get elected they just become martians. They have no idea what the man on the street thinks.
They say "We cant do that, its racist...homophobic......irreligious...". So rather what? So is most of the population and its our country, it doesn't belong to the idiots we vote for, no matter what they think.
-
I gotta say, I agree.. someone needs to just say "STOP".
Then Needs to work through things one at a time.
The trouble is the Government as it stands, have so many other hidden agenders, and people within the Party that have hidden agenders, that in order to keep power, they have to please the folks that got them to power in the first place... and no, not the public.... I mean big corporations and the money for peerage scandal, which has myteriously gone off the RADAR.
With regards to Transport, I have some great ideas.
For Example.
Stop carting truck loads of shit around this contry..I see at least 5 Biffa and VANGUARD Trucks in the morning in rush hour carting household waste around.
Get trucks off the roads, stick them on rail, let them drive off the other end, or better still, have the rail lines go direct to the big compaines.
Make our Rivers more navagable, to get the goods around by water.
Ban Trucks and Tractors not to mention sodding busses before 9am, or at least ban busses from leaving the terminal with less theat 5 people on board!!!
Make roads more direct, get ride of sodding traffic lights, roundabouts and needless road signs, and put trams and trans in inner cities and big towns.
Force people to get the Trams and trains by removeing the drivable road in the city....
God it's so frustrating.. rather than do all this sensible stuff, they instead Tax us more, and tell us it's for our own good....!!! >:(
With regards to the slave trade "problem", yes here is my solution to the "apology thing and the compensation thing" F' Off back to Africa or whatever sodding country you came from and go and find a job, earn some money and be faced with people try to take it off you all the time, just like everyone else!
Immigration/"tunnel runners"
My solution... well lets just say it involves some sandbags, and a few 7.62mm fully automatic machine guns nests placed at strategic position at the tunnel entrance and lorry park in Folkstone!
NHS Problems.
Build more Hospitals, and train more doctors.
Education.
Re open all the old schools, that have closed, and get kids reading a writting again.
HOW would I pay for all this....???
Stop spending money of wars we didn't start or have no business being in, and bringing our lads home.
Stop giving freeloading turds money for staying in bed all day, and kick out all the sodding forgeign prisoners from our Jails and send them home!!
God, it isn't rocket Science!
So Miffed I've given myself a Hernier, of Chippenham!
-
........we have been blackmailed into hiding our true feelings in case we upset some nutter from a fringe group somwhere. Well, I dont give a toss. I say what I mean and if I offend anyone, tough!
-
Yup! Likewise!
Matt
-
Well said you guys. :y
It seems like all politicians these days want to appease the minority and f*ck the majority! :(
-
Its amazing all these things that are not pc, taboo, not done these days etc. When in actual fact if people got talking they would see ( as this thread proves albeit on a very small scale) that "great" Britain has an awful lot of discontent unhappy tax payers. We dont all believe the PC stuff we are fed.
Example: When i was growing up we had a little figure on the top of a jam jar ( i wont use the word, its not pc!! i am sure some folk loved the little golly i am referring to) what good has banning this done, what positive everyday difference has this produced, how many murders has this stopped!!!? How can anyone suggest my viewing of this appealing little character, whilst i was a child, has made me a career criminal, a murderer or a racist?
Also why are we now not allowed to call a black board a black board ::) Just a few examples of ott political correctness.
Call us the silent majority! The unhappy majority.
As i have said before "the lunatics are running the asylum" its about time we stopped bowing down and conforming. Free speech after all!!
-
Shh! Don't mention the gollywog....oops

The old robertson's gollywog?
-
Shh! Don't mention the gollywog....oops

I thought the Republicans and George W. represented US ;D or is that the same thing?
NHS Problems.
Build more Hospitals, and train more doctors.
Actually, there are brand new hospitals / hospital wards built but not in use because the local health authorities are so over spent. Why are they overspent, one reason is because the government closed all of the specialist institutes that dealt with mental health etc and made the local health authorities pick up their care requirements and hence the cost.
We need to keep the Doctors and Nurses we already have before training any new ones. Again, wards under staffed facing redundancies?
And I don’t even work for the NHS :exclamation
-
A board is whatever colour it is as is a sheep.
A Golly is a childrens character, if you thnk it looks like a real person I am afraid that it makes you racist as you assume that people think that a Golly is a person rather than a figure.
-
All of this though is just for fear of causing racial offence and, although silly, I may just be able to see the point.
The stuff I'm really fed up with is the absolutely non-sensical stuff.
Like banning unoin jacks from public buildings, trying to teach young kids twenty seven different religions in school when, basically, they're not even interested in one, and giving MY money to help people in far flung places when I cant find a dentist for my lad. It took me three years to get him assessed for aspergers becase of a staff shortage.
DOES MY 'EAD IN!
-
Sheep appear to be available in two different colours white & black
Blackboards are just that black painted boards
-

Ooh don't get me started on that soap box!
-
Racial differences - lets just say it add variety to life.
We now have Chinese food, Indian food, cross culture music, all without being hit over the head with PC cack.
Food culture - all we got the the Americans are Macdonalds

By the way, last week "a-m-e-r-i-c-a-n" was being changed to "sherman tank" after Mark DTM was playing around with the word filters - looks like its back to normal.
**Edit** Dammit I'm wrong, it's still switched on hence the edit :-? ;D

I welcome different ethnic groups and different cultures. Some of my friends are from different ethnic groups and religions, and I find it really interesting learning about their cultures, religion, and traditions.
I think there is a fine line between between being too pc and being draconian. And its a line I think I judge quite well, and am proud of it.
Hence, the woman on the TV this morning had my backing before she started putting her case forward (lets face it, even the most facist person would have to agree that human slavery is disgusting). But within 10 seconds of her opening her gob, she'd completely lost that argument - she was being descremenatry, even racist.
We should welcome other races/religions/cultures into our society - soceity, not societies. So often, many of these ethnic groups create their own soceity rather than want to integrate into ours. Then and us. Conflict. Additionally, I can understand why many people get frustrated that tax payers money is spent on building religious centres, yet no money goes towards C of E churches.
I used to work for a company that would always give opportunities to coloured, female employees. If lesbian, even better. Thats racism as well. Had it have been done on ability, fair enough, but it was done to meet targets. White, straight males stood no chance. Again, that causes conflict.
It seems people just do not seem to understand old fashioned common sense.

Exactly.
I'm just the local kid, brought up through normal schools, nought priviledged about my background. Yet how come I seem to have the common sense to know what is and is not fair and right, when the over-educated, priviledged tossers that run the country don't.

.......and, by trying to be overly "correct" in everything they do, they just create more feelings of inequality and resentment.

My biggest fear, is that everyone is acutely aware that none of the 3 main parties can deal with this, and tabloids such as the Daily Mail will gently persuade everyone to vote for some real right wingers.
Remember thats how Hitler got in power - he had some good ideas that appealled to the population (which he then took to extremes, and we know the rest). Some extreme right wing party is going to come up with some policies, which with the help of the tabloid press will appeal to voters.
-
Omega Owners Forum for PM, we should setup our own Political Party... :o ;D
I'm with Matt! Get some government funding for it too! :D All MP's must drive Omega's though.

The killer for me was the baa baa rainbow sheep. Lad I work with has really taken it to heart so now down Salford we see baa baa rainbow dogs and baa baa rainbow cats. I suppose having an 80L paintcode means I've got a baa baa rainbow Omega too. What total stupidity, I'm sure the clown who came up with that one must have been on some pretty strong acid if they were seeing rainbow bloody sheep.
-
One thing after another, and I'm sure they'll be plenty more to come, I've been pissed off with this country for the passed two years and its not getting any better >:(
-
Unfortunatly I haven't got all night to sit here and express how I feel about the way this county is going down the toilet thanks to countless years of lies told to us by political parties (and lets face it,they're all as bad as each other)
It just gets on my tits the way the government think they can just change the rules to suit what ever stupid policy some over payed pen pusher is going to think up in his lunch hour >:(
Along with the old 'we'll stop people doing this,that and the other' for their own good by increasing prices so know-one can afford to do whatever they chose to (take smoking for 1)
The thing is,they know people will pay to do what they want so it all just ends up as another surefire way of them robbing us blind (at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask when he robbed people!!)
I said to my Mrs along time ago that if we ever came into any money we'd be on the 1st plane outta here....its getting more tempting by the day,just haven't got the money coz Gordon Brown takes his share of my wages before I get them >:( >:(
Anyway,i'm gonna leave it at that coz I need my bed....gotta be out the yard at 4.30am so I can go and hold all those cars up on the road!!! ;D (so NO to banning trucks from the road otherwise i'm out of a job) :y
Cheers

Its ok to ban trucks off the road but how many railtracks and rivers run past our houses??. The Gov seam to be getting it alot wrong but their all the same, it doesnt matter who is voted in it wont change their all in it for themselves. Bring the boys and girls home and let the other country's sort it out for themselves.

Ok, so maybe Banning trucks all together is crap Idea, but at least make the rigs bigger to carry more stuff, and maybe give them there own lanes or something.... lets face it how many jams and accedents are caused by to "mating Hippos" (2 Trucks, 1 overtaking the over at .0056MPH faster)
Give them 2 lanes of their own, make the riggs bigger, and for very long distance, stick it on a boat or train.
In Calne (where I live) there is a Road, called Station Road (the road I live down) guess what used to be down there..... thats correct, a Station. That Station used to carry paying passengers up until 1967. it used to take 3-500 people a DAY in and out of Calne, and connect to the GWR at Chippenham. Now I have to drive, 10 miles of virtual stationary traffic takes me 45 Mins...!
Now Calne is quite small, but back then there was a meat factory, a Paper Mill, and a big grain Processing Plant. those good where shiiped in and out by rail.
Now we have to put up with Lorries (got nothing against them, they have there place, but on the open road, no in towns), double decker busses with 3 people and a tramps dog on it, and countless 4x4's clogging up the road to take little jonny and sarah snot, to the posh school in Calne... from Chippenham....
This Country is backwards, we used to own half the world, lay
This country has no infrastructure, it a right shit pit!
I got to say that I have been looking to emigrate... needs a lot of dosh though, but if we ever got any I'd be off too.
