  1. Watch Snatch.
  2. Theme all the same Egger, just some come with benefits ?
  3. You, you dullard ? Mine was intentional to accentuate the humour!
  4. Devine and HMRC rarely appear in the same centence ?
  5. Prob’s 10-15 year ago I was dating a girl from Kidderminster and spent fair bit of time up Brum. I well remember the city council street signs in certain areas “no whites after 21:00” Diversity and inclusivity at its very finest ?
  6. Scarred for life you say? As you also said, try walking around one of his beloved multicultural ghettos at night and see what sort of scarring happens. But that would probably be ‘our’ fault for not being antifa enough....
  7. They get paid very well for that...
  8. It’s no drama Egger. Main contractor pays your tax and gives you a ‘voucher’ Its only what you’d pay at end of year anyway. Building game brought it on itself by having so many SE contractors not submitting adequate tax return. Wont cost you anything, just gets your bill paid up front rather than 31 Jan of the next year. (if you’re on top of yr paperwork it’s as well to get tax return in as early as poss anyway. My 31 Jan 21 is all done & dusted)
  9. I tell you want AIN’T happening in Turkey..... They ain’t getting ready to come over ‘ere with their sisha pipes and kebab knives coz weme outta the EU shortly ???
  10. It was entirely unnecessary..... Your position has been clear from the outset.... You’re off your f*cking tits ?
  11. Here's my take on why I think you fundamentally misunderstand the underlying scenario. "Diversity" (how ever you define it and whether you are in favour or not) is OVER represented in the TV, media and certain sectors of society (those that subscribe to that viewpoint.) That was the finding of the article I posted and which has so exercised you. Any conclusions you may wish to draw in relation to your own interpretation of my opinions and rationale for posting that article are entirely of your own making. I have formed the view that you 'want' to call anyone that has disagreed with your over enthusiasm (my interpretation) for "diversity" a racist but you have stopped yourself just short of doing so. The opinions you find contrary to your own, and have railed against, are those of well travelled, well rounded, sensible and decent folk - some I have met in person, others I make that assessment based upon a long history of posting and discussions. For myself, I hold other nations, traditions, cultures, religions and histories in the absolute highest regard. Every one has its own unique place in the world we all inhabit. Some have strengths, some have weaknesses, some have behaved in ways which we might not consider 'acceptable' today - some still do. They all have a perfect right to recognition, to celebrate their history, to practice their cultural heritage and to chart their future course. We may not be too far apart in that regard, I can't see anything to disagree with there (although I wouldn't be surprised if you were one of those history denying statue defacers) Where we seem to part company is that you appear to be advocating throwing everything into 1 big pot and mashing it all up to see what pops out at the end - and I don't. Metropolitan, urban multiculturalism - how is that all working out exactly? Not so well I'd say. But not satisfied with decimating the urban domain with ethnic and cultural ghettos, the extremists are now seeking to spread their bile into the rural domain. Do you really not see the issue with this ⬇️? “This toolkit is about getting people who are not racist to become anti-racist, especially for people who live in rural areas who might be thinking we don’t have that much racism around here,” People that are NOT racist have to be made into anti racist activists.... Black Lives Matter group offers rural people 'insight into prejudice' | World news | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM BLM in the Stix promotes online toolkit to encourage UK communities to take a stand
  12. ? you’re boring me. Follow yr own advice and get yourself onto an Arb related thread where you might have something to contribute that’s worth reading.
  13. I’m starting to see a sense of humour ?
  14. Help us all out then, start a poll with a brief, (no, really) statement of your position and see what degree of agreement (or otherwise) there is. Or, get yourself over to a Arb related thread and make some valuable contribution rather than repeating the same old guff on this thread then whining like short changed whore when people express their disagreement with your opinion.
  15. Who were they Egger?
  16. Bugger...... Im off to iron my black shirt ?
  17. Who got booted out for being too right wing? If someone got the elbow for being too outspoken and it wasn’t me I want names! ? Note to self, must try harder! Not hard Left Mark? You were a big fan of Corbyn though weren’t you? It could (quite easily I think) be argued that Corbyn was actually too hard Left for Labour - certainly the electorate. These are funny tags aren’t they - hard left / hard right etc. Some of my views are further ‘right’ than Tory, some pretty centre Left and even some extreme Green. No f*cking Lib Dem in this rainbow though ?
  18. Are you currently registered as self employed in tandem with your PAYE status? If not, worth considering for tax efficiency. . If you are registered SE, advertising, available and able to deliver services then its likely you would be classified as trading. A job comes up, you do it and issue an invoice then you are certainly trading. Now, expenses incurred in the process of setting up and delivering your SE trade are potentially tax deductible against the income from PAYE. For (a very simple) example: PAYE earning <40k has a 20% income tax liability (excluding personal allowance) SE income is also taxable but eligible expenses incurred in the set up and operation of SE are tax deductible. Setting up, vehicle, some training, equipment, machinery, IT, phone, home office blah, blah, blah.... all potential tax deductions - especially in the early days when costs tend to exceed income - there is considerable potential tax efficiency to registering SE whilst still employed.
  19. I see what your problem is brother.... Its 2020. In 2020 it’s simply ‘not enough’ to be a decent, rounded, balanced and experienced person that takes anyone they meet at face value (until proven otherwise.) In 2020 passive ‘decent humanity’ is just not enough - unless you are a rabid, foam at the mouth, Antifa, BLM, gay pride activist you simply ain’t trying hard enough and you might as well rename yourself Alf Garnet. It’s the modern day self flagellation most favoured by the Tarquin’s & Jermima’s who are overwhelmed with guilt from the capitalist gains of their parents generation. The irony of course, is that the more we see of this overt activism / often lawlessness, the closer it brings us towards anarchy - still the underlying objective of many of the hard core elements that exist within these groups. Ironic because that same anarchy would result in such circumstances that would likely be most unpalatable to the whiniest bar stewards.
  20. Is it freedom of opinion and speech in general than you rail against or is it just opinions that differ from your own that you find so difficult to digest?
  21. FFS, it’s like trying to get a straight answer to a simple question from a LA (or Boris) I bet you’re a throbber on a night out.
  22. I wonder how young youndstu actually is.... Writes like straight out of school still full of the PC BS that passes for education these days. Go on Stu, tell us you’re a knarly 80yo globe trotting adventurer with a vast and far ranging portfolio of life experiences as a foundation for your opinion. (are you old enough to recognise your chain being yanked?)
  23. I think you might have been a tad unfair on JD there. Happy to be corrected, but I think it was me, rather that JD, that used the term drivel. Whilst I used the term to describe your offerings - you REALLY are now taking it to extremes of drbbling drivel.
  24. Whaddaya mean “if?” Of course it’s correct or I wouldna said it would I!
