Wasn't even aware that phrase was used in a major comedy series, that surprises me. But yeah, she has been suspended for some expenses swindle now. It's not part of their policy to be inherently racist, it just so happens that I can't put my trust in people with that. Many of their other policies, predominantly the one on immigration I can't get behind though. I see what you're saying about the actions of individual members, things like financial wrong doings like the expenses scandals are bad, but I don't know of any other party as infamous for its members racist, homophobic, misogynistic views.

True. I consider this racist... No further action against 'ting tong' UKIP MEP - BBC News And you're right it's not democracy at all, but it would be my ideal world.

I have to compete with everyone for jobs, most of the time they are white English dudes though?!

I've lived in Coventry, Leicester and South East London and I used to quite like listening to, meeting and hearing people from different backgrounds from my own. Not bothered what language people are speaking as I walk through a town centre?!
-
Aye this is decent. I got Labour which is what I assumed. Got a higher % with UKIP rather than the Conservatives which shocked me, but apparently to do with transport (probably based on disagreeing with HS2). I don't think a tory vote is what it used to be in reference to the "nasty party" comment. I do think a lot of the seemingly economic upturn is a bit of blag though...
-
I rarely get excited these days! There was no source for the Nazi remark, just a bit of sarcasm likening a vote for UKIP to bring about dramatic change in our country to something else that happened in the past I don't think there have been any blurred lines between what is / what isn't racist in the majority of things that have came out about UKIP mps (the ones we've heard about anyway). I will agree that Mr Farage has been quick to address these things and although he does seem to harbour some slightly predjudiced views, I don't think he is the bad apple that someone like Nick Griffin is/was. You're right on democracy but I just don't think people should be allowed to vote for parties containing people with racist views. And I know that wouldn't create a democratic society but if voting murderers in to positions of authority seems ridiculous, what about racists?!
-
Bedtime? I don't follow? I don't know who you support or think a party is made up of paedophiles. I am trying to say that if you think it's okay to vote for a party made up of racists(Ukip), would it also be okay to vote for a party made up of say, murderers?
-
Some facist years ago mate. Do you think people should be allowed to vote for parties made up of paedophiles?
-
In all seriousness, parties made up of / containing people with racist views should not be considered a legitimate option, even in a democratic society.
-
... Said someone in Nazi Germany many years ago
-
Agreed. If you're voting UKIP you should be ashamed of yourself.
-
Nothing wrong with Coventry, that's my hometown! There must be a shortage because every place I've ever worked at has contacted me within the past year asking for me to either do some sub-contracting or recommend them someone who can!

And bears to control the humans

When I did my Arb level 3 in the Midlands I got a grant from the Studley Trust, which really helped me and I used some of it to pick up my tickets. My initial application was rejected, I think because I was earning money and paying for my own place to live they thought I was doing okay. Explained in my statement how annoying it was that 17 year old lads who weren't interested in college were claiming EMA that I couldn't get. Sent them timesheets from my carework job to show I was doing 30 hours a week there and going in to college 4-3 days a week. Sent in a few bank statements so they could see my outgoings were all on housing, food, running a car (to get to college) and adult stuff and sent them off all my results so far to show that I was a good student and I think they sent me a cheque for around £600 and a nice letter, which paid a fair amount towards my tickets.

Thought I'd mention in here that I'm not moving now as the missus didn't get the job, so in Kent for the near future. Thanks for the help though. Expect a "work in ...." thread again soon, apologies!

Apparently the IUCN guidelines state that the Lynx shouldn't have human contact before being reintroduced. It's likely they will be taken from the wild in other parts of Europe and relocated to the UK with as little human interaction as possible. (I'm having this narrated to me as I type haha)
-
The photo was selected by the editor, same as the captions and the title. Regardless of whether the lynx are protected or not, this doesn't usually prevent anything - e.g. raptors getting killed. She does agree on the vehicle thing because its sometimes a problem with reintroduction, but this usually only accounts for 10%. Unlikely with a lynx who prefer secluded woodland. If you look at the reintroduction of the lynx in France, all of them were killed intentionally in a failed reintroduction project.
-
Aye, I think this is more what she is getting at. The fact that the project only has one social scientist on the team and loads of biologists is her main concern.
-
The missus wrote this article in response to hearing about this, if anyone's interested... https://theconversation.com/reintroduce-lynx-fine-but-we-must-control-the-apex-predator-38540

I've had to do this before! Use a long-ish sling, put round back of stem. Pass each end of sling through the prussic loop. Stand in both ends of the sling. Bam! Choked footloops on stem!
-
Thanks for the replies / messages, very much appreciated. Sounds like if I'm willing to do a range of stuff I should manage to pick up some work, likely to be subbying, but not too likely to be domestic climbing work. I could easily cope for a bit on a few days a week anyway
-
Yeah it looks well nice from pictures. Looked at rental prices and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than Canterbury where we are now. I'll be in the same position if the lass gets the job, she'll be earning all the money! If she gets it I'll just call around all the local tree related firms and ask if they have anything for me to do at all. I think my lack of plant / machinery experience is a bit of a drawback for getting into forestry up there. I've used skid steers and driven unimogs but it looks like they use a lot more kit than that. I'm sure I'll find something though!
-
Thanks Macca, I'll send the forestry school an email. How did you find living there and where you at now?
-
I also second these two. Both great but I imagine you've already seen BB unless you've been locked in a cupboard for the past year or so.

Ah it's very funny. If you enjoy Brooklyn 99, Community is another decent American comedy.
