Reply to: Another gullible politician negotiating poorly with India

[The Castle Cary Fairy]

Yes it has, in order for us to become alien and not being stuck to some big rock destined to fall on earth.
Without globalisation and learning to work with each other we can't build rockets. Can't rely on Will Smith jumping on an alien craft.
resistance is futile
assimilate
ass...

POTD!

Not quite on the same level but whatever keeps you happy.

Unfortunately for you there are so many racists out there. or not...

I always assumed Bob was either based on Clippy's predecessor or was a nod to a certain culture's confusing head movements. If it is considering some of the things they call us, its pretty mild.

I wonder do your colleagues secretly describe you as Inselaffe?

As an independent consultant I don't actually have colleagues but the company I currently work for and very closely with consists of a Polish-American, a Philippines-American and an African-American so I wonder what they call me (although I know what they would call you )

It doesn't surprise me that you stick up for racism: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8348021.html

You only have to read many of the posts on this forum from current and banned members to realise that and then you have to see which side of the fence they stand on when it comes to a campaign advertisement ins a vote they supported:

Not being responsible for the Raj and to the best of my knowledge none of my ancestors were I'm not sure why you feel I should be ashamed of what the East India company & then the UK government did 200 years ago.

Where did I say you (or anyone else) need to be ashamed? I'm merely pointing out that your "alien invasion" analogy is far better applied to that slice of history than what is happening now.

you don't think globalisation has some of the facets of an alien invasion?

Not really. The British Empire was more like a alien invasion to the Indians no doubt.
After all the peasants were taxed at close at around 50% for 200 years. Any benefits like the railway (which was built to better plunder the country) were side effects of exploitation.
One of the main job titles in the IAS (the Raj civil service) was the "Collector" - the person who confiscated 50% of your crops every year for your lifetime.
So get some perspective, you've very little to complain about.

What the multinationals moved from India to Western Europe? Why because Western Europe was cheaper?
Anyway I'm sure some of the multinationals will scale back their ops in the Uk post Brexit. That should no doubt improve the economy

I can see why some of you struggle to compete with these useless Indians.

don't worry Ass your arrogant twerp face is still on.

[sasguru]

I'm not accusing each population of being responsible for trying to better themselves at the expense of others they are all just there to be used by the multinationals. Once India was too expensive they moved on, Western Europe, Morocco, Mexico etc.

Careful. That "nice" mask you put on is slipping

No "nice mask" I don't look down on other people like you. Just looking at reality.

All these people whining in the IT industry. If you can't compete get out. There's plenty of money to be made in plumbing or building trades, probably more.
You've got to love what you do and have some level of talent to make any long term success of it.
End of story.

Nope, I'm talking about your middle class who spout things like "I'm not racist but..." or "The price of houses in the street are going to drop now..." or professional contractors discussing 'bobs'....

try becoming the spouse of a wealthy earner like AssGuru has done.

I've always earned more than the missus.
Especially now when she's not working.
You can make all the excuses you want, and the fact is life isn't fair, some are more cognitively gifted than others.
But a sense of entitlement isn't going to enable you to compete with the better education systems of the far East, especially in our industry where location is becoming increasingly unimportant.

You can see where the West is heading particularly as it's becoming apparent that the system has somehow allowed the stupid to out-breed the clever.

how much time have you spent with Indians or Arabs?

Comparing frothing National front types with two professional Indians not being willing to be on the same table at dinner because of where their parents village was back home.
