Hopefully David Cameron will call him a clown. Bit confusing a traveller being anti immigration...

Bit confusing a traveller being anti immigration...

Hailing from an ethnicity that 90% of people regard as mud people doesn't seem to clarify in most of our minds that racism/xenophobia/prejudice are bad things in & of themselves, only bad things when other people are doing them to us. I've noticed that even if we complain about being discriminated against etc etc, often out the other side of our mouths comes some horrific slur about someone else.

My old man, for instance, is not only a racist but a self-hating racist, & keep him moaning long enough he'll start complaining about "Fvcking dirty Gyppos etc etc etc", which you'd think--as his mum & dad were Travellers, he was born in a caravan, he married a Traveller & we didn't actually become Kennicks until I was eleven--would be fairly low on the list of things he'd like to demonise.

Irony. Not always delicious, mostly just depressing.

PS: I've even heard Romany people say horrific shite about Pavees (& vice versa), when with the amount of inter-marriage & fraternising... Head, meet desk.

Where does it state he's anti-immigration?

Just because someone may have concerns about immigration does not make them anti-immigration per se. Immigration is both a positive and a negative.

For example, I am pro immigration, but not to the extent where I'd support open borders as that has a negative impact on the financial welfare of the indigenous population. Immigration with a controlled system in place (ie a points system) would be a great thing and would ensure our society is enriched with the people we need. Having an open door to millions of people is not a good thing as it increases the strain on public services, housing and jobs. It also causes wage suppression (as highlighted by Mark Carney recently).

Why do people always assume that having genuine concerns makes them anti something? If you are concerned about fuel emissions does that make you anti transportation? No. If you're concerned about the size of the welfare bill, does that make you anti-welfare? No. If you're concerned about the cost of defence, does that make you anti-armed forces. No. So what does everyone seem to lose their shit when anyone mentions the very clear negative sides of not applying a common sense approach to immigration policy?

Because genuinely hateful racist fvcks like to line up behind the "I have genuine concerns" banner, & therefore the onus should be on those with the "genuine concerns" to thoroughly demarcate their concerns & thus prove their actual distance from the hateful rather than just expecting a blanket nodding of heads?

I would suggest further contacting the hateful racist fvcks on this matter in order to ask them to stop tainting your wholly noble concerns by association, rather than complaining at those who take issue with the hateful racist fvcks.

Hes going on BBC Lancashire in a minute if you can listen online,should get it on their website.

If he's a Christian who hates immigrants he should come over to America & run for the Republicans.

I could just imagine him and Trump going head to head in the leadership debates

Absolute nonsense.

The fact that you associate immigration with race says a lot about your actual, suppressed, views. Maybe subconsciously you're closer to your father than your realise. Nice attempt to stigmatise a whole group of people.

I notice you have also deleted the lamentable comments you made about rape as well.

Yes, me too - a genuinely intelligent man who explains difficult things clearly.

He's off his nut.

He's having a mare in this thread and people are coming in and saying how great he is.

Totally. Yes. I am here barely-suppressing my hatred toward... What was it again? The Other, was it? Was that it? Was I the one trumpeting 'cos his xenophobia gets associated with something he didn't care for?

Oh no!

That was you!

Sorry. I'm easily confused, these days.

For the record, I don't give a flying fvck about imaginary lines on the map, mate, nor who wanders across those imaginary lines. Capital flees, corporate entities are allowed to flit across them, but humans? Whoah now, that's just kerrayzee talk! Batten down those hatches, quick!

I notice you have also deleted the lamentable comments you made about rape as well.

Yes, that was probably a dig too far, which is why I deleted it, but for the record I wasn't commenting about rape, I was pointing out another social ill that a surprisingly large number of apparently sane people respond to by distancing themselves from, rather than listening to any concerns which those on the sharp end might've raised. It just seems a massive oversight, a switching-off from what the real thing is, a failure to admit there might actually be a problem by an angry distancing or an involved bit of pedantic, knickers-crossed hand-waving followed by a haughty lecture at the expense of those who dare to (apparently) misconstrue one's noble & lofty aims.

I gave the example I gave because I find what you were doing up-thread--grand-standing, beside the point, to save your ego from tarnish--mirrors what some people do when women talk about sexual assault which is immediately leap to the defence of either themselves instead of really engaging with what the person who's been harmed is trying to say.

Or, y'know, like when people get narky--not for being called anti-immigration but apparently, with the existence of the concept of being anti-immigration.

[Datsue]

They obviously missed his now deleted rape comment.

You wanna harp on about it, bruv?

"You remind me of one of those blokes who leap up to defend all men when women discuss being victims of sexual assault--NOT ALL MEN!!!"

Words to that effect, wasn't it?

[palooka]

I've not said I think he's great, he's an intelligent man - you're intelligent but enjoy a wind up too much.

[tedley]

Yup! and anyone who doesnt vote for him will get a visit from his family ......probably his dad , taken into a field and then crapped over.

[Bodyshot3]

Looks and sounds like some more outlandish Fury PR.....

....keeping Tyson front of mind as a big, national personality whilst the whole WK business sorts itself out.

Actually don't mind it myself because I think Tyson genuinely loves a wind-up and is a bit of a free spirit; "if I need to be in the public eye, then I am going to have myself some fun and rattle a few cages."

And the Batman gig was just so absurd that I actually think that Wlad is still probably in a pretty weird place...not knowing whether to join in with the joke, be slightly spooked or accept that he'd been massively upstaged.

Either way WK kinda knows he's in for an unsettling evening when they finally do meet.

No it wasn't words to that effect.

You tried to compare people who speak out about the many woes of open-door immigration with those that attempt to defend rape. A disgusting comment that you quickly deleted and are now trying to back track from by claiming you said something else.

As I consider the most noteworthy thing about my own thread the fact that the BBC considered it news, I'd like to turn this thread into a opportunity for us to say how great we think Datsue is, I'll start...

Datsue is great

Suck it Horse

Thank you

I'll add that Datsue is a great poster and not someone that is looking into every comment with the intent of exploiting it for personal justification.

Horse, you don't have to argue with every single person to be able to post. It doesn't always have to be a confrontation. You've got a great knowledge of boxing but you don't half come across as the evil matron from a carry on film! This is just about every time you post at the minute. Chill out!

Datsue has hardly been lovely in this thread.

He's one of the most spiteful posters on here, but when he makes a fool of himself then hordes of his acolytes try to come to his rescue and attempt to vilify those having a go at him.

He might be a good poster, but he's also a nasty git.
