In which case, they're entitled to the job, whatever popeye and his mates say.

He's just following Julie Burchill's lead and trying to conflate "a distaste for willfully pig ignorant wastes of space" with "a distaste for the whole of the underclass". It's easy to keep the two separate and remember that dissing some little shit who was screaming abuse (in hobgoblin) at everyone who went into the offie last night isn't quite the same thing as a show of contempt for everybody who doesn't speak REP English... I never follow Julie Burchill's lead - I stopped reading her guff over a decade ago. I'm not trying to 'conflate' anything, Moonie. Your mind-reading abilities aren't quite as stellar as you think they are, old boy.

You're conflating a few digs at chavs with an evil authoritarian conspiracy to establish the underclass as scapegoats for everything. All chavs is proles, but not all proles is chavs, dig? (Apart from Goldie Looking Chain and Mike Skinner)

I'm a blue collar spanner monkey. I got white finger the beginning of Arthritis I don't have the right not to work as I need to support myself & my son. I also think that many who live round here shouldn't have the right to refuse it when they are young & fit. benefits shouldn't be a lifestyle choice. There are jobs, they just hurt people a little & you get dirty & smelly. well tough shit! What kind of system is it when benefits are preferable & chosen over £500 clear per week for a 5 day week? Inherently fucked is my call.

Moonhead -> RE: So Britain has its share of idiots too....... (12/27/2011 1:08:48 PM)
Nope. I just don't think chavs are entitled to any defense, whatever the shitheads at the other extreme of society are pulling. (In the event that there is a violent revolt against the plutocracy, you reckon the chav massive are going to be behind it? The fuck they will.)

yes mate. Blue Arrow scumbag here.

It's good to know that they're hiring again, then. They're about the last big employer left in the potteries, aren't they? Even the stuff they subcontract out keeps a lot of small manufacturing works open...

Ninebelowzero -> RE: So Britain has its share of idiots too....... (12/27/2011 1:17:57 PM)
yes mate, rumour has it they have the old Creda site at Blythe Bridge to develop too! Good place to work if production is your thing!

Inherently fucked is my call. What gets me, Nine, is that for at least three decades, each new government has said that it'll 'crack down on workshy bogus benefits claimants' versus the government before, which was 'soft on them'. Tory and New Labour have been identical in that message. I mean - really - how much more 'cracking down' can there be? People aren't just going to touch their caps and say 'Yes, right, I'll be broke, because that's all I deserve, scum that I am'. That world has gone - if, indeed, it ever existed. They'll steal, instead. And they'll steal all those deluxe items whose delights are pumped at them, relentlessly, on adverts that are ubiquitous - on posters, on the telly, everywhere. And if they get caught and banged up for stealing, they'll go to jail and learn from the experts how to steal so they won't get caught. . . . .

once upon a time you had to take a job or lose benefit payments, I suspect that was stopped a long time ago by stealth. I'm pretty sure that to bring it back would require the 'uman rites akt to be repealed or there would be an army of leeches, sorry lawyers queueing up to post litigation.

It's news to me that they lock chavs up: they just get asbos around here, which makes them a big man in their crew... (No argument with the rest, mind. If the government can't provide enough jobs, up to and including makework inventions, to go around, its bitching about welfare fraud looks both hysterical and pathetic.)

(In the event that there is a violent revolt against the plutocracy, you reckon the chav massive are going to be behind it? The fuck they will.) Chavs and the shitheads at the other end of society are the flip-side of each other, as far as I'm concerned. Neither can exist without the other.

In which case, you definitely shouldn't be defending the neds, should you?

quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead It's news to me that they lock chavs up: they just get asbos around here, which makes them a big man in their crew... Of course they don't lock chavs up. They can't afford to. There's a happy little myth that conservative government is cheap. Everyone is aware of how much it costs to be liberal and 'understanding' with chavs; far fewer know how much it costs to be punitive and authoritarian. Tories like to crack down on scum. But they don't like to pay a lot for it. This can cause cringes. The myth that Thatcher's governments were 'cheap' ones continues, despite the hard evidence. Hey ho.

Oh, don't even get me started on that one...

I've yet to see a politician or Bullingdon club member kick a Goth to death. Just a thought.
