Olympics.... Australia KO1 England

I think the prison idea in principle is good, although the strict supervision of criminals would be extremely expensive, unless the government created purpose built factories for example, which would allow them to be housed together.

Benefits are definitely a big problem. We are creating a sub culture of people who won't work and feel the state owes them a living. I can't argue with that. It is becoming harder to find a job at the moment though and decent hard working people who have paid taxes all of their lives should not be treated like spongers. I have a lot of sympathy for people on incapacity benefits (genuine ones) not least because my dad is medically retired. I don't think your idea is particularly bad but I'm not sure how easy it would be for many people on incapacity benefits to get a job that they are able to do. If you are going to create legislation like this then the government would need to take the lead. For example, my dad cannot retain information (extreme short term memory loss due to a stroke). He went back to work after a long rehabilitation but couldn't cope. There are countless jobs that he could do but whether these employers would be that interested in hiring a man in his late 50s with this kind of handicap is another matter entirely.

Fining petty criminals might address some of these scumbags but at least half of petty crime is related to drugs and drug addiction. You can fine a smack head whatever you want but he isn't going to be able to pay it. You can put them in prison but it will be easier for them to get smack there than at home; they won't even need to leave the house! I'm really not sure what the answer to that problem is.

I sympathise with people who are alarmed by mass immigration (economic migration not asylum seekers) but its only what the British have been doing for centuries. These people work very hard. Unfortunately, their presence is used by the 'can't work/won't work' brigade as an excuse for them not having a job. Besides, many of the immigrants that have come to Britain will shortly be leaving because our economy is ****ed and there are few benefits of being here at the moment. Most of their own countries are very much on the up and they plan to go back there anyway.

I'm at a loss how to sort things out but I do think that you have identified some areas that, if addressed, could make a positive difference. Just as long as the measures are not extreme enough to treat the decent people like they are one and the same with the pondlife that are currently blighting everyone's lives and turning the country into a cultural wasteland.

Anyway, let's get back to the Olympics

16 golds and now 2 boxers on at least a bronze.

'Let's 'ave it!!!' :good

 

Some very valid points - I suppose the incapacity benefit one was raised because my grandad was forced to quit his job because he couldn't hack it anymore due to a heart attack and ended up being a commissionaire for the rest of his working days.

With the drugs and what not, I suppose everyone is divided on what to do - I hate them more than pikeys, they are the scum of the earth, both users and dealers, and I have no time for any of them.

Back to topic - yeah class, looking forward to Martyn Rooney and Christian Malcolm tomorrow, and if I am right, Degale is up as well!

Not just stole it, literally grabbed Cassie by the ankles and yanked her backwards. It's rough in the 10k! Elbows and all...apparently that's quite standard too. Not exactly the Olympic spirit eh?

Bronze for Bryony Shaw too, though sadly Nick Dempsey had a 'mare and finished 4th.

 

Bury this thread already ****s

Bring it back when the Commonwealth games are on

 

**** me, a polite Australian :hey :tong

 

Are you ****ing stupid or something? What if you LEGITIMATELY cant find a job? Do you starve to death in the street?

Perhaps you'd like to suggest bringing back the Workhouse for those who cant find a job in less than 3 months and go the whole hog?

How do you explain to a family with no income why they're starving? "coz your mum is a leeching parasite" isn't going to console them. If reactionary idiots like you were in power there'd be people ****ing starving.

And for the love of god dont advocate Australia as a model for racial integration, its the most ignorant backwards racist country in that part of the hemisphere. Only the Deep South of America and apartheid South Africa are worse in the english-speaking world.

 

im english and i find whats just sprouted out of this blokes arse ( sorry mouth ) is uneducated and foolish as the australians have alot better way of life. I mean would you prefer to live lancashire or qeensbury, come on get a grip politics over there alot better than ours, "ifs there no room, dont let them in" if you dont work you dont get the luxurys of life. thats the message that us english (sorry british) should adhere to.

 

:rofl

 

Not the greatest prediction there Nostradamus.

 

England is not beating Australia, Great Britain is.

Nothing stimulates the sporting scene in oz like loosing to England or GB, so thats one positive that can come out of this.
Though I will be completely gutted if things keep going the way they are.

Even though the Aussies are still doing really well, we dont gauge our success on medal tallies, where we finish on the table or how many Personal bests are broken..its all about beating the British and if we dont its not mission accomplished.

If we are still behind you guys by the end of the games I will declare a week of mourning over at the Aussie Forum.

 

Australia is far from perfect but having lived in Britain and Australia
Australia win pts over Britain for racial integration.

Ask any of my "Pakï" mates whose family have moved from England because they are spat on or have their businesses firebombed or smashed up because they are asian.

Ill ask any of my Welsh, Scottish or Irish work colleagues who came over here to escape the english hegemony thats worked against them for centuries.

In fact Ill look at my ****ing sister in laws face because it bears a scar of a racist attack because in her attackers words "shes a ****ing gook". This was walking through Preston in broad daylight.

Any racist model australia still has was transplanted from your country old mate.

 

Most Brits in the lounge are judging the tally per capita, or at least thats what they're saying to the Americans, so I'll run with that as well which means we're still kicking your arse. :smooch

 

hahaha, whatever suits mate whatever suits, u should really worry about catching the ruskis or maybe even worse the krauts over taking you. :happy

 

what a load of bollox
