Sadly, I think farage was probably right

[MarathonFan]

Romanians next door

I know the right minded middle classes on Mumsnet will think his comments outrageous but among people I know in less affluent areas where this is actually happening (rather than naice white British areas where it's less likely to be a real "problem") it would cause concern.

A few doors from here we have a Lithuanian family (not the same thing at all I know but East Europeans often lumped together). The children go to school with mine and they are a lovely family but among the other neighbours they are viewed very much with suspicion - one calls the police every time they have friends visiting because "they must be up to no good when that many of "them" get together"

So whilst I don't agree with Farage, I hope I'd take any new neighbour as I found them, I do think he's probably right when he says "most" people would be concerned and with some grounds as Romanian gangs are responsible for a lot of crime.

Obviously the man's an idiot and a dangerous one at that but sadly, I think he is talking the same language as a lot of people on the UK and not allowing factual things to be said just strengthens their feeling that white British people are losing all their rights while immigrants are untouchable.

PhDs and doctors can go anywhere and rightfully so. There are not just filling up housing schemes, they are here to add something to our country which is greatly appreciated.

[LadyWithLapdog]

Could your friend provide an 'interpretor' for you? You don't make much sense. And xxxx? What, words fail you?

[dolina123]

Dolina my professional skills are very sought after, I am not a burden to your taxes. That's all you need to know.

[dolina123]

Oh lap dog what's your problem? I think you must be one of these hard faced common people always looking for a fight. Thank goodness were not neighbours eh?

[MoominAndMiniMoom]

"Some housing benefit type"

I'm claiming housing benefit and I'm as British as they come. So far I haven't added anything to this country but another mouth to feed.

Should I be removed from the country too?

[dolina123]

Well we can look after our own and probably better if there was not so many.

[dolina123]

Buffy of course we need essential workers they are contributing, we have unskilled worker here, how on earth did we manage prior to 2004? Oh yes the days when I could get a doctors appiontment! Are you a foreigner or a communist?

[MoominAndMiniMoom]

Dolina are you for real?

[ravenAK]

'Would you believe I'm a qualified teacher lol? '

No, actually I wouldn't.

Buffy - yup. 'astonishing and malevolent stupidity' is exactly what this poster is bringing to the party.

[dolina123]

RavenAK must suck I'm more educated than you I guess. Never thought it was a such a big deal before today. As I stated earlier my job is not teaching thankfully. I do not give a toss if you believe me or not. You lot are like a bunch of bullies with no mind of your own, I suppose being in the EU suit you lot, that's what they want people like you!

[usuallysuspect]

Dolina is on a wind up, surely?

[ravenAK]

'RavenAK must suck I'm more educated than you I guess'

Oh aye, I'm devastated .

But yes, we can certainly all be grateful you aren't teaching.

[squizita]

She cannot be a teacher unless she is writing like that deliberately, as a wind up.
She would not pass the QTS literacy test.

[dolina123]

QTS is English. I do not live in England. I did a post graduate in teaching which means very basic literacy and numeracy. Sitting these exams is a doddle, I'm not sitting an exam today instead this evening Im chatting to liberal democratics voters on mum's net. I passed my driving test also and don't alway drive safely. A policeman once stopped my and told me my driving is appauling. That doesn't mean I haven't passed my test.Believe what you like.

[KissesBreakingWave]

Interesting and amusing note: a few years ago, Farage was giving fringe meetings at Tory conferences about the threat of the turks coming over in massive numbers.

Who, like the Romanians and the Bulgarians, never showed up either.

He really doesn't give a shit who's actually coming (or the fact that population would go up if we came out of the EU as the whole of the Costa del Arsehole and Chiantishire and whichever bit of France we've colonised decamped back to blighty). He has no honest belief in what he's saying. So long as it sounds scary enough to turn out the chickenshit coward vote.

Also, and I've not checked this, just heard it from a friend a short while ago: YouGov polled the british public and discovered that as a nation we think the worst thing about the EU is all the immigration, but the best thing about it is the right to unrestricted travel.

There will come a Day when my BRILLIANT IDEA of forced labour camps for the stupid and wilfully ignorant will be recognised for the genius it is and the world will rejoice.

[DenzelWashington]

As long as the camps are situated abroad, I'm with you all the way.

[KissesBreakingWave]

I was thinking Scotland. /little englander

[WetAugust]

.....and on that day Kisses, I expect you,ll be the first to be housed in your camp. Turkey is not an EU member so their citizens have no right to settle in the UK, which probably explains why they did't show up.

[squizita]

The tests are UK wide and there are direct equivalents in NI. I know, I train, employ and monitor teachers and childcare employees for a living.
Why would you be commenting on UK residents and taxes if you weren't there at all?

The glib "I'm just chatting on a forum" attitude is not plausible either. The way you write is not indicative of someone who is highly literate and choosing to use web-chat or text-speak (or their local dialect). Loads of us do that, but it just doesn't sound the same.
The key element is the lack of structured thought in your posts; it is very, very hard to un-learn this and people who have either learned (or have natural gift-of-the-gab) sound coherent whether they use standard English, slang, text speak or whatever. You do not.
Your writing is indicative of someone approaching level 2 (as in, still at level 1 - a G-D at GCSE) functional skills: lacks clarity of thought and purpose, ideas are not always linked coherently.
To use the driving example: I don't always drive perfectly, but neither do I "bunny hop", stall, grind gears and make other errors a teenage learner would.

[LadyWithLapdog]

Dolina - I'm actually quite pretty, if that info is of any use to you. I'm not looking for a fight, just pointing out your stupidity and lies. You're barely literate and so obviously not a teacher. 'Apauling', eh?

[squizita]

Yes, the tests are very basic. Past/present tense, use of apostrophes, spotting and adding 's' to plurals. Really, really basic stuff. Even when people write 'LOLz' etc', they usually don't forget how to use tense and plurals, because those things are so very, very basic.

Let's look at how easy you find that:
"Sitting these exams is [should be were, past tense] a doddle, I'm not sitting an exam today [comma or semi colon required] instead this evening Im [apostrophe required] chatting to liberal democratics [no s required] voters on mum's net [1 word, no apostrophe]. I passed my driving test also [also should not be here] and don't alway [s required] drive safely. [Sentence is run on and too long].

There is no way this is just laziness. Unless you were drunk when you wrote it, you are lying or deluded about what your degree contained.
