Hmmm....

 

1. Calls for the mods to remove my post which is a differing opinion to yours

 

And....

 

2. Reverts to chlidish name calling. 

 

Reverting to type.

 

Well done

Being fired from your previous job also affected how much dole you would receive as well. 

 

The welfare state and people living longer are causing this unsustainable tax burden in this country 

 

Never having been on the dole and always self employed since 1974 I was under the impression you did get dole if you were sacked but not if you resigned?

 

Having lived through nearly all of the "welfare state's" existence I still believe it was a wholly good thing born out of a period when the people of a united kingdom decided that co-operation had got them through desperate times. There was nothing unsustainable about it until the super rich were able to pull away from the middle and working classes and essentially avoid and evade personal income taxes.

 

 

 

PS I think deportation to Rwanda was unacceptable but I agree the nations the immigrants passed through should have some of the responsibility for stopping them and pre processing their true status.

 I’m really disappointed that the mods, who are active in this thread, let it slide tbh. 

 

To be fair to the Mods here they let the conversation take it's course - if someone is being particularly obnoxious they'll react but different opinions are generally OK as is 'banter' or subtle name calling. Much the same if we were in the pub, the bar staff wouldn't throw you out for name calling.

That would mean we have to cooperate and talk to the French and Belgians, don't forget that we don't like them now since Brexit.

I thought it was the other way round and they were being spiteful 😉

Your post was saying we were going to be taken over by Muslims, it contained slurs. It’s bit further than a differing opinion. Can you genuinely not see the difference? 
 

It was intended as more descriptive than offensive. I apologise if I hurt your feelings.

Sure, but we aren’t in a pub. And if I was in a pub and someone was chatting like that I wouldn’t expect it to slide.
