Petition for the convicted rioters to lose benefits

[edresi10]

How exactly can "they" be taking the benefits too if they have taken all the jobs as you put it?

[Otta]

Just for the record, I think it would be disgusting to remove people from their homes, I was just explaining how it could be done.

[Brendan]

It?s because they?re immigrants innit. If you?re born a bred you don?t get nothing.

[katie1997]

edresi - I don't think Brendan was seriously engaging with those previous posts. For good reason.

Anyway, I have just heard news on the radio and apparently some council has decided to evict tenants as their son was convicted of taking part in the riots/looting. Don't know any more than that.

[StraferJack]

So when you stop immigrants coming in, presumably you will stop indigenous people leaving the country too? Fairs fair and all that

But oops.. That means more people to find jobs for again! Damn. Still, at least they will be British people right?' that's the main thing... Once we achieve that we can be satisfied?

There's definitely a gap in the available labour force and jobs.....and yes, opened ended immigration doesn't help that situation to improve. The result is of course competition for jobs and sadly too many people can not compete. The unemployment figures are disproportionate for those under 24 and those over 45-50. It is easy to say these people won't take jobs but that's not my experience of most of the unemployed I know in those groups. They want jobs, apprenticeships, something that gives them prospects. It's not true to say they are all too fussy either. The fact is that employers do employ prejudice because of age, experience, cost, time unemployed and so on.

Another problem that I think has impacted greatly on younger generations is the lack of manual skilled jobs. Everything today requires some level of academic qualification and not all youngsters are cut out for that. When we still had skilled manual jobs, made things etc, a kid could start an apprenticeship aged 14. He learned on the job and wasn't required to go to college and pass exams. He could work his way up into a good job in time and he could see that he could achieve that with time and hard work. A lot of the young people that are so called 'un-employable' fall into that catagory, and our economy has no answers for them.

Such an odd conversation, its like a little cabal of white pure born brits making sense to only themselves. No wonder the windows went in, as they just probed your lines, it will definitely be gooks in the wire next time.

[Fabricio the Guido]

Its not rocket science, its really simple. Some 'immigrants' take all the jobs, the others take all the benefits. What we want is British jobs for British people, any 'immigrant' rioters we can just revoke their citizenship,I mean,...er.... their immigrations status..... after all, dog stable etc etc etc...

[Brendan]

I blame Europe. They can just walk in over the border and get a house and now the workplace smells of potcheen and baklava. Consequently an entire generation are only ever going to get to commit the type of theft that isn?t legitimised though institutional corruption or industry practices.

Will be interested to see what grounds they use for pursuing that, and if there is already a prior history of ASB. Can't see it succeeding if there are no previous ASB orders in place though.

Immigration is a red herring. What we need is a higher proportion of jobs to the available labour force than we have at the moment. And more importantly we need good jobs, that people might want to do for more than a few months.

This. Times 100

Oh and noodle hats? I'm not Brits bs, I'm an immigrant. And I'm calling you out as suspiciously familiar

[Brendan]

Probably half-cut and skiving no doubt.

[Loz]

> Oh and noodle hats? I'm not Brits bs, I'm an immigrant.

Ditto.

[Brendan]

There's another one. In his 5 bedroom council house I'll bet.

[Alan Medic]

What's a fish?

[Brendan]

A type of aquatic vertebrate?

[Brendan]

Although I feel I am no longer being helpful to this scintillating discussion.

Where's the poteen?

[SpaghettiSue40]

Go and do your shopping

[Brendan]

Paddy and I have finished the 2 jars he had under his desk.

[DJKillaQueen]

It is friday after all :)

[Otta]

It makes me laugh when people mention a national identity.

Who gets to decide what that is?

I'd much rather share identity with some immigrants than a lot of brits!

[DJKillaQueen]

Me too, although I take people as I find them. Nationality, ethnic origin or anything else, never comes into it.
