To think the country is b*gg*r*d, and life as we once knew it is over?

[RejectedFleece]

Just that really.

You told an immigrant to go back home. Try to back track all you like, but it’s still up there for everyone to see.

We have words for people like you.

@FemmeNatal Stop showing off!

I recognise the elderly, poor, sick will suffer more this is something I saw in the 70's my grandparents told us about in the thirties. I remember power cuts nationwide, people buying dented tins or tins without labels, bacon scraps off the bacon slicer. Broken biscuits.

One big difference is that during the power cuts you could still work a till with a handle you turned on the side. The cashier in the bank could still count money out with the help of candlelight. You could still get around on a bus. This time around cash won't be as useful

We will go through a very difficult few years

this is the cycle of our economy abs has been for years there are other added factors but agin this has happened before

there is a huge amount of money floating around the UK we have infrastructure we have banking systems it isn’t suddenly going to disappear

I'm not anti immigrant. Nor have I said a word about your occupation. I frankly couldn't give less of a shit about how well you're doing. Its not about you. Its about those who are struggling.

Don't lie about what I have said, please.

No I didn't?

I said feel free to leave (considering she was so disgusted by me but because I'm English that's okay is it)

I didn't say "go home" did I?

Oh that's right! I didn't.

You told me to go back home. You should be ashamed.

I agree. The 90s and 00s (even early 10s) felt hopeful and positive. Thing feel very, very different bow.

I love when people quote quotes of quotes of quotes of quotes. So readable.

Bnp like that's frankly hilarious.

You're not stupid, just rude and condescending. Does that clarify it?

Thats completely disingenuous and you know it. You made a jibe that you didnt want people like that poster in the country you live in, what does that make you then?

And you didnt answer the previous question (because people like you never answer this question) - whats the solution for care workers, bar staff, supermarket workers, support staff, road sweepers - basically anyone in a useful job that society needs but which only pays minimum wage. Are they all to up and leave their jobs to qualify as doctors and lawyers and plumbers?

Who does those jobs then, who wheels you round in hospital if you attend having broken your leg,, no porters available they all left to qualify as surgeons.

No, I didnt. You made a horrible comment to me. Perhaps consider being ashamed about your own actions ie having a complete lack of empathy for anyone struggling.

Thank you @bellac11

^^ could you both stop replying with the whole text each time? It’s hard to see!

Sorry @Booklover3

No, I did neither of those things @FemmeNatal

You've still not answered any of my questions.

OMG can people tag the person they're answering instead of spamming the thread with 50 quoted posts

There are always booms and recessions, and throwing billions of £s at a global pandemic that we didn't have was never going to end well. We'll come out the other side........ eventually.

Can I just say I prefer it!

I cant follow threads when people just put a paragraph that another poster has written and answer it, I dont know what or who or when they are referring to.

Not global warming though.

@Catfordthefifth

I'm all for debate but telling an immigrant that they are free to leave if they dare criticise their adopted country is straight out of Xenophobia 101.

Well said.....defining the consumer's charter.
