Immigration

[Desert Region]

My cuppa just shot down my nose reading that.

Very undignified.

My apologies! And thank you!

For an albeit different reason, reading some of Said's posts often has a similar effect on me! In a thread, I like to drop in a 'funny' or two, and it can also just be interesting to see how other posters react to them.

Some people enjoy them; while I can tell others don't (which itself has a small mirth value).

You've already said that. In fact my comment on the human cost in Iraq was a response to the first time you mentioned it. A civilian death toll of about 250,000, which is apparently a very conservative estimate. Perhaps you should ponder on the effect that would have on any country's citizens.

Nobody seems to know what Bomb Boy's ideology was. As yet there's no evidence of radicalisation. There is, however, evidence that he was suffering from mental health problems.


Good grief! The 9/11 attacks were planned beforehand, long before any of the perpetrators entered the US. These men weren't immigrants who became radicalised. As I said, their sole purpose for entering the US was to carry out the attacks. The would be pilots started flight training shortly after they arrived.

Re Bomb Boy as you have named him, where is the evidence he was suffering from mental problems? How do you know he existed? All those hospital staff rush to the aid of a man running away - is it not odd that they did not go to the aid of the passenger? A taxi driver as he entered the hospital - was not aware a that point that his supposed passenger had a bomb - but he entered the grounds at some speed, why?

There have been two more bomb scares in the North West following that incident - don't you find it rather odd that terrorists only go for small targets in the UK? That is rather like a thief stealing pennies out of a till - why not go all out and take the lot, the punishment would be the same. Just shows we are still linked to the EU.

Yes, the 9/11 attacks were planned well before hand. Just as Hitler organised the arson of the Reichstag fire - both incidents served a similar purpose.

Recently an aircraft crashed into a building in Italy - the building was hardly damaged.

You know it was the PNP, not seivad, who christened the attacker as 'bomb boy'.

Aww, bless. You've never seen a conspiracy theory you didn't like.

No biters here, precious. Run along now and peddle your fantasies somewhere else.

That sounds good. Let's hear some then.

The taxi driver had spotted that hhis passenger had something suspicious that is why he had locked the doors which probably accounts for why he was on a hurry up. At several press conferences it was stated that he had been in the care of Merseycare then later stated that he wasn't a current patient.

I wouldn't have classified the Manchester Arena bombing as small, 23 dead and 1,000 injured, how many have to die to make it large, 50, 100 's ?

I've noticed that too, particularly on visiting well known beauty spots. When a family 'people carrier' disgorges, along with Mum and Dad, a fair number of kids typically pile out.

Yes, it does appear that immigrant groups often go in for large families....Which in turn necessitates them to buy large passenger-capacity cars.

No. Your beliefs and anecdotes don't tally with the reality.

From: the London School of Economics and Political Science...

Dr Wilson said: “In general, this research dispels the myth of the large immigrant family. On average we see that the completed family size of foreign-born and UK-born women has been almost identical for everyone who was born after the 1950s. Although we do see some significant differences for older generations, these are only evident for some countries of origin.

“It seems to be very rare now for any group of immigrants in the UK to have more children than the UK norm, and this is also true for the children of immigrants. For some groups, such as those from North Africa and the Middle East, the children of immigrants even have smaller families than the UK norm.”

Which would suggest that immigrants tend to be selfless, kind-hearted people, in contrast to some of the selfish, mean 'natives'.

Or that a big 'brood' equals big benefit handouts!

And thus you're wrong with your 'follow-on', pejorative stereotype, as well.

The bomb went off before the taxi driver was able to get out; the bomber was in the back seat. The driver suffered shrapnel injuries, including having one ear ripped off (later stitched back in place in hospital), but had the most remarkable escape from even more serious injury.

However it would be a most traumatic experience and sadly one that will be suffered for many years to come.

When interviewing immigrants, no one asks

'Why do you come through all the different countries to get to Britain?'


When I was in India they all wanted to go to Britain.

When asked why they said

No 1 " Your government pay you not to work"

No 2 "You have free health care."

No 3 ."You get a pension."

You are Said and I claim my £5.

In fact you are said and I claim my £100.....

Of course many, many other posters (with only a few exceptions) likewise sometimes drop in a 'funny' or two. Looking at Kippax's post...

The PNP liked this post

...I notice that the PNP has given it a Like.

Its mention of "dinghies" is something that featured prominently in a previous forum immigration thread from a few months ago that Said chose to title Free Holidays.

As can be seen, its opening two posts demonstrate Said & the PNP's humour...

Free Holidays

A group of twenty of us are travelling down to Kent next week. We have a rubber dinghy and we are going to all crowd into it and sit on the beach. We have a photographer and we will then phone the newspapers and wait - if anyone wants to know, we do not speak English. What are our chances?

Should be good for a laugh.....maybe get hold of some darkish makeup and practice a few Afghani words, just to add to the effect.
