  1. If you actually look at flags Dutch example he supports , it's pretty much fit in or fxxx off . You can only come in if you agree with us . Some thing these faux liberals express such distaste at, unless it's expressed in a foreign language.
  2. Exactly. , I'd make the first question. " would you allow your children or other members of your family to form a relationship / marry who ever they choose from what ever cultural / social/ religious background . In fact id make it compulsory to marry someone from the host country , not a village thousands of miles away .
  3. That's an excellent idea , if more countries followed suit we might see more genuine multi cultural societies , not as currently seems to be the case , many many mono cultural societies .
  4. Mrs had 3 calls couple of days ago . No caller ID .said our computer was sending them a virus
  5. I wonder if they disliked their new accommodation and set sail for Australia if people would consider them genuine .
  6. It's on the ' keep on moving' or club classics volume 2 .
  7. The gambler :Kenny Rogers Back to life : soul to soul Perfect strangers : smashing pumpkins One love : Bob Marley Cast : Walk Away i was was thinking about tracks of years the other day , songs that take you to important memorable points through out your life . Would have made a good thread. Very hard to choose 5 songs , the fifth was the hardest , so many others could go in .
  8. Have I expressed any personal prejudices ? I'm basing an opinion on the press article . That no one seems to have the time or inclination to read in case it throws a few facts into the rant.
  9. The world can see what's happening in Iraq and syria at the moment.thats a clear case , the Sri Lankan case is different having ended officially in 2009 . Did you choose to read the article ? I even put the page up where the guy stated he was an economic refugee , no mention of horror stories . Straight from the horses mouth . Still not found travel bans to Sri Lanka or the north . Ive stated before that I'm not entirely comfortable with intercepting the boats , people should be given a chance to prove their genuine under treaty legislation. But it does raise the levels of scepticism from the public and do you or harpos argument no good when your defending people who admit to being economic migrants . Read the article , it will only take a few moments . And I'd like to see some recent reports of inhuman conditions there . I can't find any .
  10. I don't doubt that the Sri Lankans would be good for the economy and hard working . There's a sub continent culture of making the most of business opportunities .i don't believe they'd try and milk the state if they were given the opportunity to work. That doesn't make them genuine asylum cases though , or put them in anyway nearer the front of the queue than genuine war zone refugees
  11. your coming over as a little bit shouty and a bit ranty . It's starting to sound like your a bit mad . Can you comment calmly on the Al Jazeera interview and report. ? I personally think the Tamil / Sri Lankan boat asylum seekers are harming the cause of what I would consider genuine cases. Have you seen or can you reproduce any evidence of serious human rights abuses in Sri Lanka ?
  12. http://m.aljazeera.com/story/2014724123224469495 not the daily mail or one of murdochs rags . Read the words . Read the story . Couldn't get a work visa . Time to try oz. .
  13. The Tamils who paid for the boats from India are significantly better off than half a billion Indians . Have any ' boat lovers ' protested outside any of the non convention embassies or written strongly worded letters ? It seems a bit daft that someone can go to India , for whatever reason , most probably financial and then expect australia to take them in. A boat full of Syrians or Iraqis is a completely different story . But surely every slum dog and pot wallah must have a legitimate claim? India has 3 different categories along with employment rights for Sri Lankans . Some can work , some can live freely . Al Jazeera reported them as financial refugees and interviewed ones who complained of no job prospects .
  14. This was an interesting piece from Al Jazeera. Not sure if Murdoch owns it , must check but it speaks about economic refugees . They'll be setting sail from Merthyr tifdil next if the government doesn't act tough on bogus refugees
  15. Oliver Adams . For those that aren't familiar it's a bakers , like a Greggs for the middle classes . Me and the mrs were talking about the quality and variety of fresh filled rolls available , as opposed to pies , sausage rolls and ' parsties '
  16. Probably the best and safest time statistically to fly with them now . The flight safety record globally it's inconceivable some thing else could go wrong . Unless you believe bad things come in threes !
  17. Seems pretty pathetic sentence to me . I'd treble it for what he's taken from his kids . Then add another fifty for lying . Amazes me how someone could do that thinking it would solve problems .
  18. I'm still on the fence , although I was firmly on the stop side before . The problem with the boats is the more you accept, the more will come. It's human nature . I once bought a cripple some food in Vietnam , within 2 minutes I was surrounded by over 20 of the poor souls . I did feed them all but legged it as it got overwhelming . That's how the boats would work unchecked . Especially with the current situation in the Middle East and Africa . They'd be an armada if it wasn't stopped . Interestingly though almost everyone on here supports refugee status , just not by boats . ive got a refugee working for me at the moment . Lovely bloke . But his English makes me want to punch him sometimes ! That's why I think there should be regional dispersement creating more intergration and less problems .
  19. I'm not easy with the underhand nature of the operation at the moment . Whether by boat or any other means asylum seekers should be assessed individually and transparently . But if I read one more of flags posts , I may well change my mind .
  20. My daughters , my granddaughters , English cities. , European cities , the Lake District , snowdonia and the Brecons ,the Peak District , stone villages , old buildings and Leeds rhinos . Nando's that do starters and deserts and sell beer like a real restaurant .
  21. Not another daily mail story. ! I thought you'd put that on ignore
  22. Maybe an IM90 , that's the only different one , available here and uk . Rest assured you 'll be ok .
  23. No difference on either gun , they sell gas and nails for the newer and older models . The only prob is with the paslode PPN 30 gun for hangers , they don't sell the gun or the nails here
