British Jobs for British People - a Tongue in cheek campaign !!

[Spartacus]

After all the news coverage this week of this problem, and not intending to inflame anyone or the situation, I have to say I think the strikers are wrong

Let me explain,

it isn't because I think protectionism is a problem

I don't even think the issue of foreign companies coming here is a problem

No far from it

I actually think their basic principle of 'British jobs for British people' is totally wrong.

However there is a solution and nature provided it this week all by herself when she closed off the Severn bridge with chunks of Ice on it.

I think the principle should well be "ENGLISH jobs for ENGLISH people" and that we need to land mine the Severn Bridge, send the national guard up to Hadrian's Wall and ensure that we totally close our borders down to anyone who wasn't born within the sound of bow-bells

Now of course I could be totally wrong with this idea, but am interested in starting a lively discussion

In which country is Hadrian's Wall?

[red devil]

Since the Italian's built it, might they be allowed to stay?

[macroban]

Are you sure? I thought it was mainly Batavians that built it.

[red devil]

No the the Batavians were on the picket line protesting about the Romans...

[macroban]

More likely the Brittunculi were protesting against the Batavians.

[red devil]

You could be right, what did the Romans ever do for us?...

[matthew123]

>> we need to land mine the Severn Bridge

No, No, No!!!! Martin Johnson and his England team don't need any excuses for not meeting their historic fate next Saturday night in Cardiff!!!

[????]

As someone who was born in the sound of Bow bells.....do you expect me to do all the bleedin' work?

[macroban]

A little fabulation there?

If you were born between 1941 and 1961 you could not be born within the sound of the bells.

[????]

yup they were taken away in during the war and took ages to be put back....i'm not that old

[Brendan]

I am a citizen of 2 countries neither of which are Britain. Does anyone want my job? 'Srubbish anyway.

[macroban]

> i'm not that old

Not old enough to remember that last real recession then?

[????]

I remember the last 3.......the 3rd ago just because the powercuts were great (and West Ham had to play Hereford in the cup in a midweek cup game during the day so we all bunked off to go).......I was a student during the next, so protested vigorously from my ivory tower and then lost my job and had massive negative equity in the one you don't think happened.....;-)

[charliecharlie]

maybe this is what we should all do

love that Jay Kay boy...

[Keef]

Is being born in St Thomas' within the sound of bow bells?

[????]

Nope - prevailing winds blow the sounds firmy eastward...which is why all the working class ends of many British cities are by aned large towards the east...keep the smelly breweries/tanneries, their workers and associated stink away from the poshes

[SeanMacGabhann]

I miss the smell of breweries - I lived near one in Cork and when I used to go to Sheffield regularly, the Wards brewery on Eccie Rd was a good 'un. It's flats now. Inevitably

Sorry - got carried away with nostalgia there

[Keef]

I thought not quids. Just yesterday someone was saying that they were born in the sound of the bells (at St Thomas'), and IO thought it couldn't be right.

Personally I am relieved, as our offspring is due to be born at Tommy's, and I don't want some little cockney thug embarrassing me when I'm trying to enjoy a beer in East Dulwich!

[dulwichmum]

I think that the first thing we should do is drive out the Welsh. I can't think of any logical reason apart from their accent - it just is not British enough.

[bigbadwolf]

No problem Spartacus, with my expert knowledge I could have it done in about a year. This is how we'll do it.

Phase one:

Firstly we'll need an enslaved work force to build the 20 metre high blockwork wall to keep the McScoundrals at bay and to do this we should use forced Welsh labour and any who don't die during the works can be added to the concrete mix or be fed to the tarten turds.

Phase two:

Empty all the Protostant Orangemen from Edinburgh to construct pillboxes along the west coast to keep the bog trotters from our shore. There'll be no risk of survivors seeing as the Scots are known to drink the blood of their dead.

Phase three:

Set demolitions along the Severn bridge. You know what happens next.

Phase four:

Introduce Anthrax to the Isle of Mann because it's better to be safe than sorry.

Phase five:

Retake the United states.

All of the above is purely tongue in cheek, Unless..........

[LuvPeckham]

Bit extreme BBW however I do like Phase 5, afterr all if we retake America then we can control wall street and stop the recent "credit crash bore" from happening again - alnong with that we can also send American Imports back like 'Mickey Mouse' 'Fast Food' and 'ugly gas guzzling cars from Ford'

I have to question, there seems to be strong Anti-Welsh comments on here... is it just their accent or is there more to it?

If the ideas here are followed, and we do cut wales off from the mainland, then would we have to open our borders to "policial aslyum seeking sheep" who are scared by the return of all the welshmen ??? :-S

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I recall that sheep are not at all safe from ED residents.

[????]

Yup, I saw some Welshies in the EDT watching the rugby on Sunday too PGC

[Michael Palaeologus]

I fear they will get very excitable next weekend. No good can come of this. Happiness is not a natural state for the Welshman. Celtic gloom is more the thing.

Who else has to pay a toll to drive back into their own country?
