That's the problem, they probably do work harder. But we're disenfranchising entire swathes of our own young people to let them in. Close the doors, I say, teach our own people the trades we're importing.
I'm waiting for your LOL!

I'm not racist, I just don't like black people, LOL!I'm waiting for your LOL!
That's no laughing matter. :|I'm not racist, I just don't like black people, LOL!

You are aware that was a [rather poor] impersonation of roundabout, right?That's no laughing matter. :|
Suicide to baby eating to racism.

So you're OK with cheap EU labour coming over and taking jobs? We're paying for their sparkies to come over here now, £1000 each, that's like 10x that in their countries. England is like a holiday to them. I don't want my future child going to school with people called Pavel and Alena.
I liked it better when we were free to ogle pretty ladies without reproach. Now it's all suicide and politics.
That pic was the beginning of the end.
I'm sorry guys.
Care to back up that £1000 each thing with sparkies you're on about? There was a Mail front page this week about bricklayers on £1000 a week (based on a £200 day rate), is that what you mean?
Oh and that last line is absolutely horrible and I'd feel terrible if no-one properly called you out on it.
There's nothing wrong with UKIP, they're just ordinary people saying the things ordinary people say. Us ordinary people don't like foreigners or rules on what shape bananas can be. It's time for a new force in Politics. We spend billions on Europe, and what do we get out of it? NOTHING but our streets crowded with Romanians and doctors' surgeries where they have to speak ten languages. Farage for PM. If not this time then next time for sure.
And Brand is a druggie homeless-looking clown elitist, I can't believe they're still giving him air time.

/ is first generation immigrant who runs a business employing locals, just like his immigrant father did before him
So yeah, middle finger to all the anti immigration lot.
Oh, and for what it's worth, immigrants do work harder than natives in my experience. Also, lets not forget how many of our lot went over to Germany to work in the 80s, also earning ridiculous money because the locals wouldn't / couldn't do the jobs.
Any valid concerns about immigration you might allude to, or rather grasp at, are drowned out by your ignorant and blatant racist statements like "I don't want my future child going to school with people called Pavel and Alena."
Please don't equate having concerns about immigration to bigotry and racism.
Edit: Perhaps it's better to sideline these discussions over to UKPoliGAF.
Hey come on now, I'm sure a few other dudes got some cheap thrills from the pics too. Jed was often very vocal about his appreciation, God rest his soul.You mean when you were free to ogle??
You started this, Bowen. Now end it.
(In threatening villain voice)

It's all because of the loss of the beautiful women thread years ago. We had an outlet! (There was a men thread too, equality!)I liked it better when we were free to ogle pretty ladies without reproach. Now it's all suicide and politics.

I think some of your sarcasm detectors are defective.
Also I was mid way through typing out a carefully worded but interesting post on the subject of the foreign hordes but I don't know whether or not to persevere.
Oh yeah I meant bricklayers LOL!
Must not... air... dirty laundry...
yeah, this thread is nose diving fast.
pull up people! UP!

good to see people vilifying poor roundabout for having political differences to them
bunch of hypocrites
Discussion is good. And I say this as a fully-paid up triple minority.
Maybe roundabout needs to just add a few more LOLs!
This is a tense situation.
Especially as I can't connect to the Titanfall servers. Grrr.

Depends on your take on it. I've spoken to a lot of UKIP supporters that wouldn't describe me as so.
Apparently Farage is OK because he's only a very small part German though. Maybe the rule is that grandparents are OK rather than parents.
I'm starting to dabble with ideas of a combination meritocracy democracy with academics.
Sweet Pete, I'll give it a listen.It's all because of the loss of the beautiful women thread years ago. We had an outlet! (There was a men thread too, equality!)
Owen listen to this creamy biscuit of a compilation. Tall Black Guy presents Tempo Dreams Vol. 1
Have you met many academics? I deal with them on a daily basis and lolno.
Yeh, I have a bit of contact with them as an undergraduate and a member and organiser of a few student societies, but nowhere near as much as postgraduates do. Since my uni is usually involved in policymaking, I think since I have started university, I have been sweetened by the idea of academic elitism and how the general public cannot and will not comprehend academic, philosophical, social and economic ideas without sufficient training until a revolution in information symmetry occurs.
I understand your logical approach and it is very tempting at points. But academia is either incredibly conservative or extremely liberal. I know very sensible, intelligent academics who are adamant ukippers (one of whom is gay, another an immigrant). Many are Oxbridge-y elites and don't get me started on the economists/business school people...
Have you played Titanfall yet? Don't recall you mentioning.
I thought you were an Anarcho-Communist? Isn't that as far left as you can get?
There's always... Darku Soulsu!

Yes, a few times now. After about an hour of game-time, I really like it. I wanted a new podcast / radio game since Destiny's becoming more sinister.
It's true in academia, especially within the social sciences and economics, suffer from objectivity problems; a vast number of theories that academics ignore due to their background, training and biases and cycles through paradigms of thought in their discipline. I don't want a true metrocracy, no matter how attractive it is and that it would be an extreme violation of freedom of speech, which I am big supporter of and how it empowers us to change and debate problematic situations within institutions. I'm more focused on changing the incentives of the policy decision makers in favour of logical debate instead of political biases. Empowering the academics instead of weakening them. There are a few groups in society that I envy and celebrate. Doctors, researchers, academics, entrepreneurs and human rights activists.
EDIT: For those UKIP supporters, attended a small seminar by the former head of UKIP who's attends my university. He called Farage a dimwit. Nothing wrong with supporting UKIP or any party unless it reduces the rights of certain demographics of society, thought that may be quite interesting.
What do the economists / business school people say?
