Cerv posted:Do you people really think Craig Charles should be banned from Once you've had one controversial front page you shouldn't be on TV anymore until there's nothing but slightly orange rent-a-yanks who can be chopped and changed without anyone noticing. Then everyone can complain about it not being like the old days when people had personalities on TV don't you know.

My mate says she saw Craig Charles at a train station once. He yelled at her, demanding that she got in a cab with him, and then called her a oval office when she told him to gently caress off and stop being creepy.

Craig Charles is a good dj and his all star jazz band stuff is an awesome good time and coke is fun and you're a square if you've never been offered crack. He was acquitted of rape so if you think that everyone charged of rape is guilty then he's a rapist but he was proven innocent by a jury of his peers.

Robot wars wanted to be awesome and everyone kind of publicly bought into the idea that it was this amazing deathmatch of cold iron and plucky British engineering. But everyone who took part, and everyone who watched it, knew deep down that it was basically anticlimactic and more than a little bit sad. They could see it in each others' eyes.

"Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True"?  Though if a former human rights commissioner is presenting it I hope it's just a provocative title and not some dogwhistle UKIP promotion.

Is there a sector of the UK economy or job position where a UK employer HAS to take on a johnny foreigner over a pure patriotic white english person? They are back tracking on his statements saying 'he meant nation not color', but for the life of me I cannot think of a job where an employer is forced to take lesser trained foreigners over local applicants.

Dabir posted:Hate to interrupt Deathbot Killfest 9000 chat, but there's something that's been bugging me for a while. Right to Buy. The tories love it and keep saying Labour will take it away, so I know it must be some kind of horribly regressive poo poo given a palatable name like how Right to Work in the States actually means 'you can be fired for no reason at any time'. But I just can't work out how. Could someone explain it to me? Right to Buy is brilliant for the people living in a council flat with enough money to put down a deposit (and the right kind of income to get a mortgage) but it is terrible for the people on the council waiting list as there's now one less home available for them. It is horrible too as so many properties purchased through buy to let end up being rented out for twice the cost of the social housing beside it, badly maintained and with a big sign in the window saying 'No DSS'. If the proceeds from Right to Buy had been ringfenced and invested purely in building more homes for social housing then it might have been a nice thing.

He did explicitly rule out discriminating on race - is it really much more than an 'employ British' campaign? Do his comments about previous integration of Huguenots, Jews and Ugandan Asians compared to the non-integration of certain parts of the Muslim community carry any historical weight or is it bullshit?

UKIP is very concerned that we are going to run out of carbon dioxide. https://tompride.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/ukip-mep-claims-decarbonising-europe-will-mean-less-carbon-dioxide-for-plants/ quote:Mr Pitella are you aware that if you succeed in decarbonising europe our crops will have no natural gas to grow from. We have to have carbon dioxide. This is madness, absolute madness what you are suggesting and our industry, our Agricultural industry is going to suffer heavily if we attempt to bury carbon dioxide in the ground. It is absolutely mad.

This would be more convincing if he'd picked Belgian or Dutch nationals to discriminate against rather than Polish ones. I'd still disagree with it, but at least we wouldn't have people saying "there's totally not any racism against Eastern Europeans" in a way that allows for some more racism against Eastern Europeans.

I thought the usual kipper line was that Poles were doing the same work for less pay, thereby undercutting British workers (i.e. salary dumping, which is not a pretty phenomenon)- "bloody Poles coming over here and nicking all the jobs etc". Surely they should be in favour of anti-workplace discrimination laws.
