Ikea right or wrong?

[chef]

I for one personally believe that what IKEA did was completely acceptable and whichever manager decided that has my full support, because without these "distractions" of car parks being full with campervans, management can then concentrate on the more productive and customer satisfying job of deciding which parts of their IT systems need improving and getting the appropriate contracts arranged do perform this role.

my opinion above is in no way biased even though IKEA have paid my "moderate" daily rate + expenses + travel for the best part of a year and my contract review is coming up in a month or so..

No proper gypsy is going to turn up in a camper van to rob Ikea as they are too slow to get away in.

They would turn up in a van or large car like everyone else.

If they are going to rob a furniture shop it would be one where there is guaranteed to be money in the tills (lots of people pay by card in Ikea) or where you didn't have to make up your own stuff.

I think the worry is they are going to stop for a pot of tea and stay for a few months.

I don't think they're worrying about the purchasing, or not, habits of our pikey friends.

I just don't understand how this is a racism row.

Same with the Morrissey Vs NME case:

"Although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears."

"The gates of England are flooded. The country's been thrown away."

Are these racist comments? You can't tell me that mass influx of foreign cultures don't erode the traditional British identity, of course it does.

He is a miserable fecker.

Melancholic, hardly unique in his field.
