  1. You know you can internalise your prayers, right? You dont need to post them on forums. Im not sure he's going to be too happy with that one though.
  2. Germany is the 'sick man of Europe' — and it's causing a shift to the right, top economist says WWW.CNBC.COM Germany is once again the sick man of Europe, economist Hans-Werner Sinn told CNBC, and he said the shift could cause a rise in right-wing politics. More bad news for the sick man of Europe: Germany's production falls for third straight month as fears of a prolonged economic downturn grow, as Brexit Britain's output rises | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Output by the 'sick man of Europe' decreased by 0.8 percent compared with the month before, according to seasonally adjusted figures from statistics agency Destatis, after a 1.4... Who'd have thought Brexit would have had such a positive affect? Germany regains the moniker 'the sick man of Europe' when pre-Brexit it was the powerhouse of Europe. Germanys experiencing a significant drop on output where as the UK is seeing very strong growth at 1.8-1.9%. Perhaps this significant decline in Germanys fortunes could be related to Nord Stream inexplicably blowing itself up but then perhaps instead of laughing at Trump when he told them not to rely so heavily on Russian oil they should have listened. A swing to the right is badly needed though and thankfully in countries like Germany and Sweden they're finally waking up to this reality.
  3. Even I found that funny.
  4. Nope, just a happily married family man.
  5. You're asking the wrong person. I never made the claim.
  6. You get weirder and weirder with each post.
  7. Imagine being such a cuck that you wanna pimp your daughters out to Black immigrants in the name of diversity.
  8. Greece Arrests ‘Arsonist Scum’ As Historic Wildfires Leave 21 Dead WWW.FORBES.COM The Greek government has arrested 140 people with wildfire-related charges, including 79 charged with arson.
  9. Yes, in summer things get hot and dry and then when an eco-zealot lights them they burn. When you intentionally add a catalyst to inflammable materials they burn, no conspiracy here, just physics.
  10. These people can literally tell you to your face they are lying and manipulating you and you'll still try and find a way to keep believing it. I bet you've had all your covid vaccines as well.
  11. ''Follow the science'' Top scientist Patrick Brown says he deliberately OMITTED key fact in climate change piece he's just had published in prestigious journal to ensure woke editors ran it - that 80% of wildfires are started by humans | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK A climate change scientist has claimed the world's leading academic journals reject papers which don't 'support certain narratives' about the issue and instead favor 'distorted'...
  12. See? Told you it was BS.
  13. I seriously doubt that. If by chance you did then Im confident it would be a glowing report and you'd not have dared mention it as it would not fit your narrative.
  14. I remember the party they threw.
  15. It’s not possible to build enough houses to home these illegals arriving daily. Yet it’s the same degenerates that welcome these economic migrants with open arms are outraged at the housing crisis and demand it be addressed. To think these single digit IQ leftards are free to vote.
  16. Trying to decider this post gave me cancer.
  17. So what in your opinion has changed from when I was a youth when this work was all done by indigenous British people to now when it’s primarily carried out by cheap European Labour? Be both know the answer to that but you’ll continue to ignore reality. Empirically I don’t see what you’re saying reflected in everyday life. The plumber I know is still a plumber, the sparkie I know is still a sparkie, the farmers are still farmers. I’ve personally been with the same company for 25 years now. You can down play the utter failure of mass migration in Sweden all you like. Again, reality does not reflect your point of view as the link I provided from Swedens very own PM shows. The reality is far darker than he dares mention. When my kids went to the British International in Stavanger is was a very multicultural school. It was great and the kids thrived. Thankfully my kids will never have to experience a multinational school in the U.K.
  18. Last year the unions got us a 5.2% increase (pish I know) The company was allowed to give poor performers 3.2% and high performers 7.2%. In the end they have everyone 5.2%. 🙄 I don’t want a pay rise for tax reasons but I asked how on earth do people who work hard feel their work is appreciated. They said those that go the extra mile do so because the want to. Now the hard workers don’t bother their arse anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  19. Yet all the fruit and Tattie pickers you’re indigenous back then. We had thriving apprenticeships throughout the U.K. that was then decimated by a flood of cheap pre-qualified European workers. We now see a resurgence in apprenticeships and this is primarily due to greedy companies no longer having easy access to cheap foreign labour and now having to look to long term workforce development. (I see you cover this in your next paragraph but in my opinion the facts don’t tally with your POV) My dad works harder than your dad. No, I know you do. And I know agriculture is hard graft. So when the EU allows those from Eastern Europe to undermine the already meagre wages of course the indigenous population will look elsewhere for employment. I live in the heart of Angus, the breadbasket of Scotland. I’m surrounded by Farms and Farmers. My friends and acquaintances are Farmers and they also employ local lads. Now that I think about it I see very few Europeans in their workforce. There is still the bus loads of seasonal workers doing the unskilled laborious work of course. But they do it because it’s financially viable for them. If I could move to a nice 1st world country for the summer and make multiple times the wage I could at home then I’d do that too. The only way we can have incredibly cheap fresh produce is by paying the workers pennies on the pound but at the same time those pennies on the pound are actual pounds for them where they come from. For an indigenous workforce to re-enter this market the wages would have to reflect the living costs of the country they are working/living in. Until that happens we’ll have those that believe Brexit was a bad idea calling these people lazy when I’m fact they are not willing to subject themselves to slave like conditions for pennies. And look where that’s got them…. Swedish PM says integration of immigrants has failed, fueled gang crime | Reuters WWW.REUTERS.COM Sweden has failed to integrate the vast numbers of immigrants it has taken in over the past two decades, leading to parallel...
  20. I like that one. Reducing traffic whilst at the same time importing over half a million people a year onto the island. Irony at its finest.
  21. The UK certainly needs to get its house in order thats for sure! Until we do we should shut the doors to all but the very exceptional asylum cases. No one seems to be able to explain how we will build near enough homes to house the 600-700,0000 migrants coming in per year. Its simply not feasible. Its the elephant in the room that we're ignoring and responding with soundbites such as 'well, we have a huge skill' shortage. Its such non sequitur reasoning. This is primarily because of open borders and joining the EU. I'm 'only' 44 and when I was a youth there was no foreign fruit and veg pickers it was all done by British workers, myself included. When you flood the market with cheap labour who is happy working their fingers to the bone for what is seen as a pittance to the indigenous people then they'll simply stop working in that sector. I have no doubt that if the Eastern Europeans who have undercut the British people would simply upsticks if the Farmers were allowed to import North Koreans who'd thank their lucky stars at simply being given 3 square meals a day and a warm bed without the threat of their whole family being sent to a reeducation camp. Joining the EU and the importation of cheap labour has been devastating to the UK and will take generations to fix. Only those who pin their hopes on Brexit failing expect decades of dumbing down the UK to the lowest common denominator would be fixed within a few years.
  22. I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed.
  23. No, I guess we’ll never agree. But surely we can agree on the reasons you left the U.K. particularly being over-crowding, Rabbit Hutch Housing and ridiculous house prices? I really don’t see the connection between mass migration and Brexit though. What part of Brexit in your mind has resulted in an increased number of people wishing to live in the U.K.? Is it that Brexit is working and making the U.K. a more desirable place to live than say Germany with its sinking economy?
