To wish that these bloody annoying foreign immigrants should piss off back where they came from?

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Fucking Cuckoos! Two of them, half a mile apart. CUCKOO...CUCKOO... CUCKOO...CUCKOO

EVERY FUCKING FIVE SECONDS ALL FUCKING DAY!

Well, it's hardly reasonable to assign human values to cuckoos at all - they do what they do as a result of evolution, using their intelligence, instinct and learned survival methods to contribute to the ecological system, and bring variety and diversity to the wonderful birdlife of our country....oh, hang on a mo....

NB the raised eyebrow wasn't at the thread or indeed at the title, though there is potential to cause offence in it, it was at the OP's goading which goes against MN guidelines hence my raised eyebrows in a polite manner to remind her of them.

I obviously mis interpreted exitbyabear's selfpolicing for which apologies.

Thanks
MNHQ

Whoa....

Exits

Excuse moi - you have missed my Pursued...

Honestly, I do despair. Can't we all just play nicely. Please?

You know when you skim down active conversations thiking hmm...nice ham...hmm nappy changing on the bus...hmmm MIL is a pain....hmm WTAF!!!

oh, I see! (re olivia's explanation) (I didn't realise the OP had had a post deleted.

Can I be deleted, Olivia? For my post about parakeets? And I have never, ever had a post deleted, in all my years on MN.

Not even when Cod had that competition where you had to accomplish various tasks including being deleted. (but then I didn't actually take part as it was obviously agaonst talk Guidelines and the Mn Philosophy)

A modest proposal...

(Actually tis a tautology as immigrants are by definition foreign. But I wouldn't dream of being pedantic about it. )

Olivia, I apologise too. That comment was inappropriate and was not the reason I posted here, Id forgotten Outdoorsy Shite. You are more than welcome to delete that comment.

seriously, do cuckoos go in outdoorsy shite? I thought it was for tents and walking socks etc?
If cuckoos go there, then surely so should the entire pets section, parenting, travel....

Forgotten Outdoorsy Shite - Tut.

Ooh Stealth - come on over - if you can stand the excitement.

We have all sorts of ........ Outdoorsy Shite stuff.

Being parakeetist is also against our guidelines.

seriously, do cuckoos go in outsoorsy shite?
They go where've they like. That's the point of being a cuckoo!

I did a rurally post in Outdoorsy Shite once. Nobody replied. just call me Billy No Mates

Exit you're asking the wrong bear. I barely go outside to get in the car.

A rurally post?? Well I suppose Outdoorsy Shite would be the place for that! should say 'actually'!

Ours aren't too noisy, but we have a blackbird who likes to be really clean, he empties the birdbath every single day, at least three times.

I refill it, give it half an hour for the tits to have a hop about and drink, and then he comes back.

I'd like to just tip a bucket of water over him

Thanks for that ilovemydog.

Fucking racism everywhere in this country.

I actually thought mumsnet was one last bastion where ignorance and stupidity did not rule.

I guess I was wrong.

I guess I should have the grace to leave.

Why ban people like daftpunk and ucm?

Bring em back I say. They fit right in.

Quint - I have challenged racism week in week out on MN. I live in a multi-racial family and my own heriritage and extended family includes multiti-racial, multi-ethnic family of a whole wealth of immigrant and black british roots, and routes.

I opened this thread half prepared to find some ranting BNP / UKIP supporter, and half expecting it to be ironic or satirical because it was so extreme. And interpreted it as the latter. And have contributed in that spirit. Maybe I am wrong. You have the right to challenge and say you don't like it, and discuss But it's possible that if you discuss rather than insult you will find there are no actual racists on this thread.

What Blu said.

And what Blu and Exit said.

I dont see how I said is any more insulting than what Ilovemydog said.
I responded to Ilovemydog, who indicated that cuckoos are better than immigrants, because they at least have the grace to leave.

I am deeply offended by that. It is one of the worst things somebody has said to me on mumsnet, to be frank.

See, you dont like to be accused of immigrant bashing or being racist, any more than I like being told to leave the country.

And of course, I was satirical.

It was a joke.

Right?
