Keith Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 anyone who comes here, to live in a hovel so they can send half their wages back to their homeland before ultimately moving back (where they're now quite well off) should be be chucked in the sea that's a parasite. Except of course... An economically active adult, who comes here, works hard and saves the money that they earned, then leaves after five years, is... less likely to be ill (not a drain on the NHS) less likely to be claiming a pension (wrong age) less likely to claim benefits (they are working hard to save their money) less likely to have children (not settling here, frequently single people) So they earn money, contribute to the economy and are statistically less likely to be a drain on the country's resources. I'd say they are damned handy people to have here. I remember talking to a Filipino care assistant who explained her 'five year plan', which was to save as much money as she could and then return to the Philippines, having paid for her house (four bedroom, detached, aircon etc) and be able to put her son (back 'home') through private school. Was she being taken advantage of? Or am I the one being taken advantage of, with another 15 years of my 25 year mortgage to go? I also know that if someone phoned in sick for a shift, I would generally phone a Filipino to ask them to cover it because they would either say I'm sorry I can't today or they would say 'can I take a shower first?' then arrive with a smile. The non-Asian staff would be more likely to decline or if they did say yes, would bitch about how they were doing the world a favour all day long. If paying for your house in five years motivates you to come to work with a smile on your face, then thet's okay by me too! Final point, the person who works hard, then sends their money home is a "parasite" "who should be chucked in the sea". I take a couple of holidays abroad each year and choose to spend some of my hard earned cash in that manner. If my money is also going over seas, am I also a parasite? I could do with clarification because I'm planning to go to China later in the year but obviously I'll cancel it and settle for a week in Ramsey if that is how I'm supposed to spend my money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooks Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 No state payouts in them days you either found work or starved You're an arse and you're wrong! In the 1950s, people did receive unemployment benefit (or 'dole' as it was usually called). It's just that it wasn't much - a bare subsistence level. My dad was a seasonal worker, which meant that he had - usually short - periods of unemployment at the end of the Summer and end of Winter. Although I was very young, I can still recall how we had to make every penny work for us. How very true, sadly in those years my dad had to leave the island for work, taking me with him obviously. I spent so many of my young years coming home for school holidays and wishing I was back. Nowadays I'm so thankful to be home permanently, still grateful too - after 25 years, the comeover tax dodgers, and migrant workers, who moan about our beautiful island really piss me off. I don't give a shit about whatever the colour of our new residents is, it's the English trying to make our island English who really should be deported. Are you English? If so you're an immigrant too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 And why should the rest of the working population and the Government pay out to keep those not prepared to work.every one of the jobs at this link will pay more than state benifit. http://www.gov.im/dti/jobcentre/welcome.aspx But rational people make a rational choice. Some see that the best job that they can get is something utterly mindless, boring, and makes them behave as 'stupid' individuals for most of the day. They plump to take benefit rather than work. Doesn't mind this creates a financial burden for those who do work but it isn't hard to understand why the situation arises. And why nobody should be compelled to do it. Well somebody has to because if cable layers, computer factory workers, canteen staff, packers, drivers, merchant seamen, insurance clerks, cleaners, call centre workers etc, etc, were all getting top dollar then how would poor anarchist students afford access to the internet? Hmm, maybe it is that they pay for it themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooks Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 If the majority of the population of a country does NOT want non-whites in their homeland, then why should they not object? People, especially the limp wristed do-gooder socialist 'we're all one big family' creeps should take not of the term HOMELAND. Especially the HOME bit. Surely it should be up to the legitimate owners and occupiers of their home who they do and do not want living there? Hey Rog, do your carers know that you're trolling Internet forums?

Declan Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Keep up, Newsbot, even Manx Radio beat you. Anyway, the editor's blog over at IOM newspapers states - A complete cock-up on my part means it was given Lottie Ray's byline on the front page instead of Fergus McEwan's. Sorry, Fergus. It's right online. But no mention of cassettiespagetie, who actually brought this into the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanxfella Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've just read the front page of the Indy and couldn't stop laughing at the quotes from teachers at Ballakermeen about how their pupils were not actually being racist. Its priceless; the politically correct 'all our children respect multiculturalism' bollocks is exactly what we've come to expect from any government department here nowdays. Lets just ignore the glaring obvious and trot out some contrite load of old tosh. Also hats off to the Indy journalist for pointing out that 'nig-nog' is a derogatory term for a black person. Just in case nobody knew. What a class piece of journalism! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great advert for the Island http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2406544.ece It's great to see that it was those very same teachers who brought this to the attention of Facebook and did something about it (hmmmm)....wonderful paper The Scum. But well done cassettiespagetie. Rednik, you're spot on - I'm looking at this from 12,000 miles away at the moment - and last night by coincidence my niece had a school essay to do on the KKK. I'm glad she didn't see all this nonsense. "My uncle comes from a place where the KKK still flourishes" would not have been a good introductory sentence!

Also interesting the way the internet and news works these days. I'm not for one second saying the original poster on here shouldn't have posted, but if he hadn't? The group had existed for months, the local press became aware of it from here, the local stories get picked up by googles news bots etc, and before you know it it's in the Sun. Who know's if any other press etc will pick up on it and what negative press the Island could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Were a low tax economy. Our whole business model works on this basis ... are you a total fucking idiot or what? Can you not see that our whole government strategy is 100% aligned with this principle? what does a low tax economy have to do with it? if an immigrant turns up with nothing, earns £10k in MickeyDs and then leaves one year later with £5k in his bag, then the manx economy just lost £5k. simple. the immigrant brought nothing, generated no significant revenue and then left. his £300 PA taxes don't enter into the equation. £300 is less than £5,000 The immigrant bought nothing? So somehow he managed to misplace £4700? Also where have you got the idea that the work you do = the salary you get? If I earn 100k for my company, I do not expect to get 100k from them in return. whats the difference between the immigrant who leaves with 5k ( i'd have thought 'migrant' was more appropriate as they came to work and went again?? ) and the local who goes to england or europe and spends 20k on a new car cos it saves him 3k, surely that makes the local worse??
