And what comments are they Exile ?
The council estate I grew up on is now full of Romanians
pakistani men form grooming gangs and seek out and rape white girls for fun
antisemitism exists in the labour party.

Facts.

However unpalatable to your average socialist.

Although you may not want to admit it RF you obviously have racist tendencies

Summat called Diwalli speaks volumes
I actually agree with your sentiments about immigants but you cannot put the blame on anyone coming here to better themselves but the real culprits are our politicians of all colours for allowing in too many, & greedy employers who have actively advertised in Eastern European countries for workers

Racist tendencies ?? How so Exile ?
The default insult from people like you who don't what to face up to facts staring you in the face.

Again - the council house I grew up on is now populated by Romanians, this is a fact, how is it racist ?
pakistani men in grooming gangs target white girls and rape them, this is a fact, how is it racist ?
I don't know what Diwali is or what it celebrates, but I know it's not a festival celebrated by the indigenous population of Barnsley, I also know that BMBC spent fk all on celebrating Yorkshire Day, this is a fact, how is it racist ?

I'll await your answer with interest.

It's what's behind your comments that's telling
& the attendance on your course seems to have done you not one bit of good


" The council estate I grew up on is now full of Romanians" No it isn't. It may have a large number of Romanians but it is not full of them & making such sweeping generalisations is classical racism ...Google it

I don’t normally comment on political matters, but you DO have a point RF.
the stock answer (if you dare to criticise the flooding of this country with foreigners who claim loads, are given plenty and take everything is that you are Racist) I believe we have too many foreigners, give too much out to immigrants who come here and milk the system, breeding willy nilly and expecting us to foot the bill. They are here to claim, and do it ROYALLY.
Racist.? Because I say this ?
No Exile.......
My first wife wasn’t white British.
You don’t have to be racist to believe what RF says. They are facts. It’s also true that there are sponging Parasitic Yorkshire people having kids at an alarming rate that we also pay for.

I do know what Diwali is. I do go to see friends in their Temple, I do go to my friends Caribbean carnivals and I am godfather to an Asian child.
So am I racist for agreeing with RF then.

I did not write the law on racism & it depends on what you are agreeing with
but what I do know is that if you make sweeping generalisations such as the council estate I grew up on is now full of Romanians when that is patently untrue then you are demostrating racism as it suggests that every house on the estate is full of Romanians
RF has made these generalisations but reacts when the same type of generalisations are made against Jews
It is well understood that many Jews have the reputation of being well versed in monetary or business matters but it is patently incorrect to label all Jews the same & that is the essence of racism & simply put that I believe is how the law is couched

[Jules88]

I haven't the time nor inclination to look back through anyone’s posts, but I do know that the accusation of racism is the worst accusation that can be thrown at someone. It’s too easily used, and relied upon very frequently by people who are usually ( not 100%, I’ll give you) either have something to hide, or are being challenged in the workplace because they as individuals are idle, or insular.

Now I’m not suggesting whatsoever that this is the case with you Exile, I make that CLEAR.

Animals response to the OP was spot on..... says it all. That is how some of our own celebrate EVERY day.

It’s the whole society that’s broke. Not Yorkshire Day

Exile,

How on earth is it racism ? You don't know where I grew up or who I grew up with, so you don't know the conversations I've had with lads I grew up with who complain their kids can't get houses whilst Romanians do.
You don't know that on the last home game of last season I was early so had a drive around the old neighbourhood.
You don't know that every car outside every house had a Romanian number plate.
It isn't a sweeping generalisation as you put it its a fact.

You don't like what you're reading so you start with the insults, its what you do with other posters as well as me.

I did take your advice and looked up the definition of racism.First word I saw was prejudice.
I'll give you an example of prejudice by quoting a post of yours Exile -

"you can take the boy off the council estate........"

It's folk like you using a word like that who made folk scared to speak up about the child rapists of Rotherham and other towns.

Think on.

End.

Just a question regarding the council estate and Romanians .

Are these ex council properties now in private landlords hands and offered up on a first come first served basis to anyone ?

If that's the case it then it possibly paints a different picture from the one you are painting .

Council housing availability is at a premium flagged , getting the keys to one is points based , it isn't easy to obtain one by any means .

In all honesty I've spoken and worked with many eastern european migrants and I mean many and I've yet to hear any of them attain a council property .
