Wow Stevenage,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i’m impressed!!!! :shock:

Wer’e told on the news that the red light district in Ipswich is relatively small compaed to other areas in the country. I’m pretty sure that I heard there were approx 35 prostitutes working this area……..if this is the case,,,,,,why haven’t the police done more to ‘flood’ if you like, the area, with undercover officers……..

I agree too TM that I don’t think you can compare a burglar, breaking into a house with these women….what would you do if you found a burglar in your house, putting your family at risk, I know what i’d do. The women, for whatever reason they’re doing what they do, aren’t actually hurting anyone else, except themselves.

Muslim women,,,,,,,,,,the same as any other woman, should be allowed to dress as they please,,,,,I don’t have a problem with they way anyone dresses,,,,,,it’s a free society

However,,,,,,,,,,,,

What I do have a problem with, is this woman,,,,,,,taking her case to the court of human right with regard to her now, (having lost her job),,,,,,,,,,because once appointed, she chooses to move the goalposts, so to speak, and demand that she be allowed to wear a veil while a man is present,,,,,,,,a man was present at her interview, didn’t wear a veil over her face then did she,,,,,,,,,,double standards???

I watched BBC news one morning this week,,,,,,,a reporter was in a muslim school, Tehran I think it was, the female pupils were wearing headscarves but not veils, another reporter in a school in this country, was asking pupils here, how they felt about those pupils, having to wear veils. They weren’t wearing veils, they were however, wearing headscarves,,,,,,,,,i’d thought about asking the BBC if this was a deliberate change of use of language,,,,,judging by the amount of times the female reporter used the term ”veil” it certainly seemed so,,,,,,,,,,anyone else see it???

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Norty Norty PB :-

I posted both links Emma, with regard to both the BNP councillors in my own area. One who faced eviction for non payment of her rent, and the other, well I do believe it was another one who faced,,,,,,,now what was it :-k oh yes! court action for non payment of her council tax.

Are we having a selective memory moment Emma :roll:

Sorry, but this thread is total bullsh1t. I expect Emma to talk crap but the staggering thing is when people start agreeing to her idiotic attempts at trolling. I mean let’s look at what she’s saying. Emma, who is 110% against the UK having anything at all to do with the EU, is now saying that white, british people should be part of a charity project that receives funding from the EU. What’s stopping your beloved BNP from funding training courses Emma? Is it because they spend all their money on court appearances and bail money?

As for Cas’ stories, maybe you left something out, but how exactly were you going to do a postgraduate course with only an A level and a gcse? Also, didn’t you think that by attending an ESOL class you would be taking the place of someone who actually needed to do the course? It’s ridiculous that you should even think about doing an ESOL class. It doesn’t sound like you’re the victim of racism it sounds like you’re the victim of your own muddled-mind. It sounds like you were given sound advice but chose to ignore it. How exactly were you going to do a degree and a pgce in just 2 years? I’ve never heard of anything like that before. You need to do a degree first (or an access course to enable you to do your degree) then do your PGCE then you can get a job in teaching.

I won’t comment on this particular point any further, except to say that you weren’t there, and i’d applied to do what I had with the support of the tutors i’d been under.

As for the permit story, clearly it’s your own fault for not reading the form properly. The guy was just doing his job and he actually did you a favour by not insisting that you bring the right identification. Sometimes people are asked to bring proof of address and proof of identity when filling out paperwork. There’s nothing racist about that, it happens all the time.

The permit………..fine! the form had changed since last year, or did you miss that part? As for him doing me a favour, I think not!!! Like I said, if I had to produce a further two forms of I.D. which under any normal circumstances I wouldn’t have a problem with, then why didn’t the equally BLACK man to himself, have to do the same, or maybe you missed that point also :roll:

As for council incompetence regarding housing, everybody has problems with their local council at times so how is that racial discrimination? I’m sure most people here could tell you a story about incompetence by their local council. Do you seriously think black people and asian people don’t have any problems with town halla.

The probably do have problems of their own with various town halls and council officials, but I think the point I made was that I was sick and tired of being spoken to like a lesser mortal than them, with NO provocation !!!

So, I reiterate, this thread is complete and utter nonsense.

I think on the whole Mr B, you should take yourself along to specsavers!!!!!!!!!

Becky, my mums 94, she lives alone, in a ground floor one bedroom flat on a very small estate, it’s mainly elderly people live there.

Four years ago, her legs were getting worse with arthritis and I got her moved from the first floor, to a different block, on the ground floor. We went to see it and she was almost in tears, whoever had lived there jeeeeez it was disgusting, filthy. We went back to the offices, said that she would take it, but couldn’t move in before it’d been completely cleaned and redecorated. The gave her an allowance of £276.00 to decorate and 3 weeks in which to do it…….The officer also gave her a letter stating that until she actually moved in, she wouldn’t have to start paying rent, but would continue living in her old flat and paying the rent that she did there.

I cleaned it, decorated it and just under 3 weeks later, she moved in. A month after moving in, she received a letter from the council stating that she owed £156.00 odd, in rent. At 90, as she was then, she was worried sick. I spent time on the phone, and at the offices, explaining the agreement that’d been made. Once again, a very big, very surly black woman, said well if she doesn’t pay, we’ll take her to court. I was pretty exasperated by then, said go ahead, but I have the proof, i have the letter from the officer here, stating that the rent would be non-payable until she moved in. So fine, take her to court, it won’t be her with egg on her face at the end of the day, it’ll be yours…………Not only that, but I would then seek legal advice to claim compensation for the harassement of her…………WE left………….A week later, she received a letter from the council, explaining that a mistake had been made, sorry for any inconvenience, and she owed them nothing.

Exactly Becky,,,,,,,,,,it made me so angry, although I did keep my cool……Freind of mine said to me this afternoon, when he said well i’ll do it this time you shoulda let him do it and then said, well i’d still like some kind of explanation from the manager. I didn’t see the point though,,,,,,,it doesn’t get you anywhere.

I used to work for the local council before my son was born, 18 years ago, while I was there they had to start a policy of employing a certain amount of Black and Ethnic Minority. It seems to me though now, that they’re in the majority, every person I seem to see or speak to whenever I need to visit the council offices are either black or asian. On the whole, I don’t have a problem with this, I do however, have a problem with the way they seem to think they can speak to you!

I needed to go to the housing benefit offices around this time last year, because I do get a certain amount of housing benefit, to change my address etc., It was first thing in the morning, so she couldn’t use the excuse that she’d had a bad day with the general public, but the way she spoke to me was unreal!! I said excuse me, but if you continue to speak to me like a dog, then i’ll respond in the same manner, so would you like to take a deep breath and start again, she was nice as pie after that :lol:

[Cas]

As promised :wink:

Today I went along to the local town hall to renew my parking permit, as the old one runs out today. Until last year i’d never had to get a parking permit, I moved around this time last year and parking outside your home where I live now needs having to have a permit.

When I went along last year, I filled in the form, went to the desk, and I was asked for my Insurance and Log book, neither of which I realised i’d need, so I had to go back a couple of days later. The documentation I produced was the parking permit form, log book, insurance and my blue badge, which exempts me from payment. No problem, the permit was issued.

So,,,,,,,,,,today, I went along with the necessary documentation and waited my turn in the queue. The gentleman behind the counter was black, the gentleman in front of me was black, he handed over his form, log book and insurance and was issued with the permit and off he went……….I walked up, gave him all my documents, and he demanded 2 further means of I.D. I asked why I needed them, I hadn’t previously, he said it says so on the back of the form. I explained well it’s obviously changed then because I hadn’t needed further I.D. last year, he said, in a very surly manner, well you need it now. I asked to see the manager, and my question to him would have been, if I need it, why didn’t the gentleman who he’d served before me, need it. At my request to speak to the manager, his reply was, well i’ll do it for you this time, but in future, you will need further proof of I.D. ,,,,,,,!!!!!!!! :shock:

Racism in reverse????

Owen,,,,,,,,,while, as you know, I often disagree with Emma and do wonder if her rants are the outcome of the latest BNP newsletter.

Around 3/4 years ago, having gained a ‘B’ pass on GCSE English and an equal ‘B’ pass on English Lit/Language. ‘A’ Level. I then attempted to gain access to an ESOL course (english for speakers of other languages) for those who dont know what it means. My aim was to be able to eventually teach english to those who had little knowledge of it. I was refused entry onto the course, the reason given was that I was already english, the course was for others who had less knowledge. I explained that I felt in doing the course it would perhaps give me a better understanding of ways in which to be able to teach. I could then have gone on for a further year to do the PGCE which would then qualify me to teach.

I was told no, I would have to start from scratch, do an access course, which would have involved me taking the GCSE English again, (which seemed to be a bit of a waste of time to me) Then progress on. The entire thing would have taken 4/5 years. As a mature student, the previous way, would have had the same results, but would have taken 2 years. Of course, as a more mature student, in 4/5 years, I would have had much less chance of a teaching post, than I would in the 2 years.

The whole point being, if someone from Africa/Asia/ any ethnic minority you could name basically were refused entry onto a course on those kind of grounds, they would be shouting racism from the rooftops.

I’m going to post another incident on here which happened to me today Owen, see what you make of it :wink:

Pink is the colour of the ribbons for the breast cancer charity’s PB. I don’t know why but at a guess i’d say it’s because it represents women. As it’s mainly women who do suffer from breast cancer i’d say it makes sense.
