that doesn't negate your equivocation. most societies on earth recognize the meaning of national borders. i realize you waive the flag, as is your choice. borders exist, whether you like them or not, and i dare say that the world will not be dropping all of its borders for some time to come. pity? blessing? irrelevant to the here and now.



the border exists. it is against the law to breach it without following the laws of our land in order to secure legal entry. it is our choice as a sovereign nation. i know you don't like that choice, but that's not anyone's problem but your own. when someone climbs over the fence at the border, they are breaking into our country. they are trespassing. the damage a permeable border has done to the US is significant, and hopefully that will be rectified.



want to blame a government? blame mexicos government for sustaining conditions within their borders that are so unpleasant that their citizens feel it's worth it to break into ours for a better life. hold the mexican government accountable. or is that not within your balance sheet?

additional thought: in this country, the burglar has commited an offence before crossing the threshold. At least in most circumstances, and possibly in all.



edit: I did try to post this a second time (rather than edit-add) but vBulletin seems too clever to allow the second post, it got merged back. My apologies.


please, would you do the courtesy of putting major revisions of your thoughts into a separate post? i realize there are no rules behind the 'edit' button. but i consider it impolite to significantly alter the content of an extant post after the fact. in less ethical hands one could use it to exculpate from a nasty comment. here, i'll show you.

It is the most disgusting lie that he refused to stop, or that he was asked to stop, or that he was ordered to stop. The man was killed without any warning whatever, without having run, without having vaulted gates, without even knowing he was being followed, and he was surveilled and followed all the way until he had reached a location where the "shoot to kill" orders could be invoked. And "Issie" says it's his own fault he's dead? Issie, pensioner or (far more likely) not, you're a pernicious blight on the nation.

Oh no, I'm not a supporter of the BNP, I'm a laydee?

You're an evil git, whatever you keep in your underwear.


So, YOU know 100% conclusively that he was not asked to stop.? yeh right.

Thanks for the compliment...a git I may be, but evil ? God will be the judge of that NOT ******* YOU :mad:

So, you don`t think I am who I say I am,? why, are pensioners to have a dumb worn out brains by the age they reach 60.?

You call me a blight on the Nation, Sonny boy people like me made this nation for you to wallow and whinge in today.

I was born in 1946 end of, I`ve just retired from working in the NHS all my life, now do you want to know how many times I get shagged a week these days as well.?

So, what is it about this forum then, we all agree with Spot ?

How about we all agree with his idea of open the flood gates and let the whole ******* lot of them in.

I never said he deserved to get shot, so stop twisting my words, just like you tried to yesterday over the issue of speaking the lingo.

I was pointing out the media coverage and money spent on an illegal, rather than focussing on the 52 people who had been blown up the day before, but **** you too, if you think he deserves more than the victims of the bombs.

And yes, women pensioner swear when they are angry.

to expand a little. the original statement was thus:

Arabic does not have a word to convey the sense of ownership. The verb 'to have' does not translate into Arabic.



if that is the case, then their ability to decide that 'everything is shared' appears to have a structural limit to 'everything is shared among the saudis'. so 'all' doesn't mean 'all', it means 'some'.



but i have to get on to my daily business, so i'll drop this line for now, much to the mercy of all i'm sure.



(PS - if you ran a poll, it would find 100% agreement with your belief of the inate racism of your countrymen? so, you're saying you're a racist? you'd vote the same as them in the poll? apparently 100% doesn't mean 100% otherwise)

I don't know if this law has been changed or not. But as it did stand, any person could enter any house in the UK providing they didn't break in. A burglar is called such once they have broken in (being the basic definition of a burglar and the distinction between a burglar and a thief).



Arabic shopkeepers also charge for selling goods. It could be seen as sharing with one another two commodities. The barter is based upon the shopkeeper's perception of the buyer's affluence. Trade is a form of sharing at a second level. We just don't perceive it like that. It all becomes rather semantical when you try and break it down.

How do you know that.? based on what.?

I couldn`t care less if the illegal was from Mars, the point in question is wherever they come from and whatever the colour of their skin, it is irrelevant to the drain on the system....

And you accuse me of being racist.?

I have never once referred to a persons skin colour or their religion....which had I been a member of the BNP , I think I would have shown my "dark site"

Spot, help me here, because I've read this thread and I can't make sense of your point. What is it?

Illegals aren't "illegal" because it's all the fault of the government of the receiving country? Since Arabs don't have a word for ownership, are you suggesting we could all just MOVE there and be given a piece of their pie?

How could you possibly know that a white Zimbabwean, illegally in the country, would be accepted before a black one?

How could you possibly know that a white Zimbabwean, illegally in the country, would be accepted before a black one?I didn't bring up Arabs, that was someone else. My point is that if you blame illegal immigrants for the woes of the country, and nobody can distinguish legal from illegal on the street, then the blame settles on the legal ones as well, which is pernicious. I ask that the big powerful government be blamed for not immediately deporting all of the illegal immigrants and for not barring the border to illegal immigration, since then nobody would want to blame the legal immigrants for anything and we'd all be in a paradise of our own making.

I know that a white Zimbabwean, illegally in the country, would be accepted before a black one because if I were to put it to a vote I'm sure it would gain 100% backing from all white people that I put it to, including me. It's a very specific issue and it applies, as I said, to Anglo-white South Africans and to New Zealanders and Aussies as well. And, though I failed to mention it, to all Canadians.

It's a consequence of sending family abroad over the years whose descendents have subsequently been disqualified from a right of residence in the UK, which the emigrant families assumed their descendants would retain (as was the law at the time), and which the UK government bureaucratically altered to their detriment within my memory. Nobody has ever managed to get that undone, and it's universally regarded here as an outrage. Most white English have relatives in what were the dominions. All the white English I have ever spoken to about it have invariably said that they'd give preferential rights of residence and citizenship to returning descendants. It's not, in my opinion, a racist position, it's a familial one.

Thank you.

Now, let me understand this: " It's not, in my opinion, a racist position, it's a familial one."

You've just said that 100% of the population where you live would give preference to a white person over a black one.

How can that NOT be considered "racist?"

How can that NOT be considered "racist?"Because the people it relates to are *family*, not because they're white. It's a matter of history that the emigrants were all white. The whiteness doesn't come into it except as a convenient category for family ties in those specific countries.

It is human nature to give preference to one's own over a stranger. It actually takes an acquired spiritual quality to truly become non-racist in heart as well as in word.

I don't regard people I still exchange birthday cards with as strangers, they're family. They just no longer have a right of residence in the UK because some idiot at the Foreign Office once thought he was saving money that way. My opinion is that anyone who can trace their ancestry back to UK records, or provide DNA evidence of descendancy, should have an automatic residential passport right. That seems fair in that it was the legal position at the time my relatives moved to the dominions with UK government encouragement.

The world has moved on since your relatives time.

And if the absurd suggestion is put into practice, how do you propose to accomodate the people who have a right by holding a British passport and are therefore eligible to come and live in the UK.?

Considering we are already full up and resources are already at bursting point.?

Obviously, I'm not a citizen of the UK, but I've spent a fair share of time there and I know that people "of colour" (fill in the shades) have been citizens for literally hundreds of years.

Are they not "family," too? How is it that "family" only means "white?"

I have nowhere talked about deporting blacks! That's a shabby accusation to make and the thread's easily checkable.

As for this bit:I know that people "of colour" (fill in the shades) have been citizens for literally hundreds of years. Are they not "family," too? How is it that "family" only means "white?"can we try backing away from this notion that England has been generally or more-than-slightly mixed-race for "literally hundreds of years" please? I've no idea where you're getting your fact from, but finding evidence for a figure is hard work. There were coloured people in British Ports from 1600 onward, in small numbers and mostly as transient sailors, though some settled. The highest figure I can find is an estimate of 0.5%-1% in London in 1800, most of whom will have been transient. In inland areas of the country the figure will, I'm sure, have been well under 0.1% until 1900. By all means find better figures, those are the best I can manage without a copy of Wrigely, EA, and Schofield, RS (1981) The Population History of England, 1540-1871 which I can't access from here.

Let me try one more time to make my point. The people to whom the change of UK regulations on residency applied, call them the X people, are predominantly those whose emigrant ancestors left England before 1920. Overwhelmingly (excluding French Canadians) the immigrants to the Dominions during that period were from the UK and white, with the exception of Indian immigrants to South Africa (who didn't get there from England!). My use of the word "white" in referring to the X people is because I have no other shorthand expression for them that would be generally understood in England. By all means suggest another, preferably in one syllable rather than thirty. This entire conversation is sullied by that fact that there *are* people in England who would give preference here on a racial basis, many of whom are associated with the British National Party whom I heartily detest, whose heartland is Yorkshire.

Well, all I can say is, that you have a serious problem if you cannot debate with someone who disagrees with you, and then you resort to personal insults.

Maybe it is your lack of maturity that shines through, because your manners definately do not.

here in the US, you don't have to 'break' anything for it to be breaking in. you could theoretically be charged with breaking and entering by just walking in the open front door of a home. if you do not have any business being in the home - if you were not invited, if you do not know the occupants, if there was no sign on the door saying "come on in" - then you are violating their property by trespass at minimum. if a person is not authorized to be within that home, then one can assume they are not there on a pacific mission.

Perhaps if you look at http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/showp ... stcount=72 you'll see why the word "Yorkshire" conjoined with your "Well, I agree with everything Ruth has said.100%", having beelined in here in the first place, triggered my ire.

You seriously claim no association with these race-supremacists, do you?
How much longer has this got to go on,? why should I have to continually try to defend myself because I live in Yorkshire and I hold strong views on certain subjects?

Yorkshire is where I live, so I`m obviously going to "home in like a moth" as you describe it....just as someone living in Seattle would pick up on the word Seattle.

Let me try and tell the people on this forum about Yorkshire.

It is in the middle of England, it was the heartland of the coal mines, everybody`s son became a miner...until Margaret Thatcher closed the mines down after the 1984 National miners strike.

In part of Yorkshire is a town called Bradford and the immigrants from Pakistan built such a vast community in the town and the surrounding areas, that Bradford locally became known as Bradistan, because we now have the biggest Pakistani population outside Pakistan living there.

Many of the "English" people objected at what they saw as a "take over" of their town by immigrants, this and the lack of employment due to lack of investment in the area by the British government, led to the birth of the BNP, which stands for the British National Party.

Yorkshire is quite a big place, many years ago, when I was a girl, it was divided into 3 ridings, or counties/states.

What happened in one riding, did not reflect the opinions of the whole county.

Now, you spot have a problem if you cannot see that I was supporting Ruth with her posts, having lived in Yorkshire all my life, and knowing first hand what happens before my eyes, not what I read in the newspapers, or see on the TV.....and just in case you have forgotten, that is 60 years.

You are so possessed with your own "racist" issues, that you want to attack anyone who you THINK because they live in Yorkshire MIGHT have any connection with the BNP.

You actually know very little, because whilst the BNP party was "born" in Yorkshire, the people do not support it, otherwise can you explain why to the members of this forum, no BNP candidate has ever won a local election in Yorkshire? It is a labour stronghold and if your theory was correct, then the hatred that you imagine is in Yorkshire would put the BNP in power tomorrow.

I`ll not apologise for living in Yorkshire, it`s a pretty dam good place to live in the world, but you need to sort your own issues out, if you suspect anyone who mentions Yorkshire are racist and BNP members undercover coming on the bloody internet to seek you out.

I must apologise to the members of this forum, for the way it has deteriorated into a personal attack, but, I`ll not be accused of something that Iam not.

Quite an interesting difference between our laws. It shows up the little differences in our attitudes.

But, I confess that thinking about our laws and all the recent changes has my head spinning.

In the city of York, it is still legal for any person born in York to shoot a Scottish man with a bow and arrow.:p

The by-law only refers to Scotsmen found out in the streets. I found this out when I was there back in 2001. Amazing considering the vast numbers of Scotsmen that live there. No Yorkers have taken up a bow and arrow against a Scotsman for some considerable time now.

During the long summer months, local Welsh maidens were allowed to take flagons to the men on duty. "Shoot" and "Longbow" were famous euphemisms of the day for far less lethal pursuits.

You're quite right regarding time and place, but it was definitely Scotsmen. Actually, Spot isn't Welsh. He simply abides there.:D

admittedly what i describe is the theoretical broad presumption of the 'your home is your castle' concept. normally, if someone wandered into a house, there would be other extenuating factors that would make it obvious it wasn't done with criminal intent - it was your next door neighbor, they saw that the door was open, etc - however if the person found in the house is unknown to the occupants, has a weapon of some sort on his/her person, can't provide a plausible explanation for being there - then it becomes an easier interpretation.

your private life is in an online public forum? well, whatever. it was just idle curiousity, and not even related to you, just the forum mentioned.
