Hah. Outed!

It's not true that we have an open door immigration policy, sadly. I'd be in favour of one but it doesn't exist.

who dislike the words that i write


Actually, my concern is with the presentation.

Capitalisation, punctuation, and paragraphs (as KB mentioned) would make your post an easier read.

As for immigrants depriving our workers? Do me a favour! My area has had a huge influx of Poles, Lithuanians, Portuguese that are willing to do jobs that our people won't. Sadly, a lot of Brits would much rather sit on their arses and be dole scroungers than go to work at somewhere like Bernard Matthews or the other factories. As far as I'm concerned, at least they have enough pride to go out to work and earn their money instead of being a skank and thinking the world owes them a living like far too many in our society. Personally, I'd rather keep the hard working immigrants and get rid of the scrounging scum.




Agree with you one hundred percent, pinky!! :yh_clap:yh_clap

Sounds like the US to me; and I agree with you as well.

the touble is you have people like spot liberal leftie plaid comfy voting do gooders.

who dislike the words that i write and there is no freedom of speech on the F.G and it seems that political correctness has found its way on to the F.G site where if you write about something what does not suit you get an infraction point


Actually Hopki we are very fortunate to have Spot, just because he thinks your a twat & does not like what you say does not mean he uses his moderator status to edit your posts, so you see you do have freedom of speech here, none of your threads are locked or put in the tar pit. I said before i dont have much interest in your column but would fight for your right to keep it as would many others, again freedom of speech. We tolerate all kinds here but if your going to post the topics you post - wake up - your gonna get some heat :rolleyes:

The presentation of this rant was extremely off-putting, had one of my students (victims?) submitted that, he, she or it would have received a Z-.

Having said that, I thought this bit was hilarious "the p.c brigade would also have you believe that to be a part of the bnp or national front makes you a nazi."

Neither the BNP or the National Front are Nazis. They are, at most, third-rate wannabes.

They are in my opinion laughable. Take the term "National Fron" for instance, what nation are they referring to?

hopki65 I am glad to see you have been removed from the Forum Garden membership especially after spouting such drivel.

I would just like it noted that I am in no way associated with this person hopki65 nor do I agree with there views.

Out of interest, was he removed as you say or did he request removal?

Two very different animals.

It appears he had himself removed.

The concept that a person, having the right to say whatever they like, has to then discuss his comments with others who may not agree seems to have made FG an unfair place in Mr hopki's eyes.

I rarely see someone wanting to "rant" be such a poor sport in return.

Alas, he is gone now and there is no point to criticising someone who can't defend himself.

I must admit I wasn't thinking of Peninsular War era battleships when I made the comment.

He didn't say the opinion would receive a Z-; he said the presentation would.

Use context clues and connect these words: Student - presentation.

I would much prefer to hear the opinions of a coal worker than the rhetorical elegance of a well bred gentleman rattling off cobblers.

Wow i just made that up .............see a second glass of wine over lunch does make me sound all hoity toity.

I prefer content which is sooo lacking these days.


Paragraphs are far from eloquent.
