Not everybody have the intellectual capabilities to achieve decent education (sasguru is an exception, he's a moron with some education, he might have found his diploma in a Kinder egg?)Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post...who could have made use of the extensive free or subsidized education and training possibilities offered by the British government to get themselves good qualifications, but would rather whinge and whine about foreigners, many of whom were never offered the same chances, and then blame other people for their problems rather than get off their arses and get their own bloody lives in order.
What's wrong with cleaning the street, collecting garbage, or working on a construction site? If it was paid decently it's quite possible that britain would not have to resort to using foreign labour to do the jobs - and to pay benefits to turn the less intellectually capable into chavs.Last edited by Le Rosbif; 3 November 2011, 11:08.Comment

Look, a 'decent education' does not necessarily imply going to university to study astrophysics. Are you really suggesting that so many of those unemployed people could not have trained to become plumbers, bricklayers, welders, firemen or truck drivers, none of which are low paid jobs?Originally posted by Le Rosbif View PostNot everybody have the intellectual capabilities to achieve decent education (sasguru is an exception, he's a moron with some education, he might have found his diploma in a Kinder?)

I don't have children; I did, happily, go to schools with 'diversity', which perhaps explains why I'm not allergic to 'diversity'; I learnt the skills to make the best of it at an early age.Originally posted by Le Rosbif View PostNot to mention to have their kid becoming a minority in their own country.

Yes, unfortunately, and I'm not in favour of them; a bad idea that undermines people's own responsibility to make the best they can of their chances.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Exactly. Many people don't think capitalism should apply to poor people and poorly paying jobs. If the market were free to set the rate, there would no shortage of people queuing up to do the work.Originally posted by Le Rosbif View PostNot everybody have the intellectual capabilities to achieve decent education (sasguru is an exception, he's a moron with some education, he might have found his diploma in a Kinder egg?)
