I don't believe they were taking the pee out of roadside shrines. It was more of a dig at the authorities for not removing the racoon earlier.

The clue is in the name, question marks, i was asking a question.

Multiple question, confused. Yes... (that's called an ellipsis, btw - not council)

Innit bro. You get me.

We've got the Twelfth weekend coming up in Norn Irn, so "Council" take over the country for a few days.

Great pics in today's papers (probably only NI issues) of the bonfires being built by feral youths, no elf 'n safety as they clamber up 100 feet of wobbly stacked pallets. Gangs of tracksuited men drinking openly beside "no drinking " signs.

Classic murder yesterday. A prominent member of a paramilitary gang slain by a mate.
Council estate - check
Drunken party - check
Victim has puerile "gang" name - check
Samurai sword used - check

I'm just waiting for the homilies from friends and neighbours, scared to say anything else. "He was a wonderful father, a great mate, diamond geezer (sorry, wrong lingo), do anything for you, will be greatly missed, led a colourful life, wouldn't have wanted to go any other way........."

so many cliches, so little time. I'm forced to drive under an illuminuated example of "our Kulture" every night now on the drive home from work. So classless its actually funny

Saw a man today wearing a white cap, black vest, camouflage trousers, white trainers and various names tattooed down his arms, walk out of a corner shop, three cans (held with the plastic rings in one hand, one open can of beer in the other. He stopped to pick up a discarded scratch card on the floor..

You're 40, you eldest is 21 and youngest is 2. They have different fathers and the eldest is pregnant - Council

I'm 40, eldest is 22 and I have a 20 month old grandson, youngest is 16 though, both the same father (me) and I'm happily married to their mother.

Half Council?!

Not trying hard enough - my brother works with a man whose sister became a grandmother at 29 years old

I admire the way the policeman stayed cool, polite and professional when dealing with this lowlife.

How did the video come into the public domain?

At work I dealt with a young Asian girl who had had a quick arranged marriage before she was deported to Pakistan.

Apparently after new husband had his nuptials on the wedding night, the father then took her into his bed, whilst alongside his wife, it was his turn.

Somehow the brave girl made it out two weeks later and to our housing services for help


In the same vein you wouldn't believe the amount of men/ women imported to the UK purely to marry severely disabled UK Pakistani residents. It's shocking. Young adults who honestly don't know what day of the week it is, let alone having families and thus more disabled children.

I agree with the comment that this is a bit OT, and quite frankly I'm concerned that we are verging on racism, but I have to add that, as I understand it, some Health Authorities are under orders not to talk about or reveal figures for, the number of Asian kids being born with deformities or mental issues because of inbreeding. I'm talking arranged marriages between cousins or other close-knit family members.

I'll get me........

Was it not misplaced fear by the authorities of possible racism that allowed the Pakistanis in Rotherham (and elsewhere? Oxford?) to practise their paedophile activities so successfully and for so long?

So it now appears that there may well be yet another scandal concerning people originating from Pakistan or neighbouring countries that is kept under wraps because the authorities dare not talk about it?

When will they ever learn?

Making garden furniture out of pallets.

Funnily enough, saw that here at Le Mans yesterday, but the chap is anything but council. Bought the land, (two acres), built his own house and it is a peach inside. Also terribly modern in concept with insulation above, below and in walls as long as your arm so no heating bills to speak of. But I digress; In the garden he has two "sofas" made out of pallets, and since we are in the forest they actually looked quite in keeping. And not a Clio or Saxo in sight either.

What like this?



I had to crop it as it has some people I am related to in the photo, so you can't see the bottom. But it's fking huge!

Well no one should be scared of taking about race. You're right it's precisely the fear of being branded a racist that led to authorities failing to investigate the terrible sex crimes.

However I'm not a skin headed nutter. I'm a director who works in social housing. I formally spent years running a cities housing services do I write with some knowledge.

Trust me on several factors: housing estates are generally filled with white trash.

About 80% of tenants are fully benefit defendant. Most domestic violence we saw was in the Asian community

However when sporting events were on like the World Cup, you could expect a spike in white women fleeing violence.

Poles are not here to claim benefits, they're here to work and social housing landlords love them. They work and pay rent and are far cleaner and nicer than the white trash. Good ethics and values.

Romanians Bulgarians really are here to scam the systems and appear to be criminals. I've had to deal with young girls trafficked for sex for example.

Disabled people are often brought here to use our health system due to bad facilities in their own countries.


Anyway roll on the benefits cuts. People really do live well on the state. National service and schools beating some sense into these kids would be a start. Now everyone has 'uman rites innit bruv.

However we must continue to deliver such services as there are some truly vulnerable people out there left so by poor parenting etc.

Authoritative posting.

I don't think the Beveridge Report anticipated what actually happened to the UK 70 years later. The Labour Party of 1945 meant well.

Council estates here in Northern Ireland are a bit different - they are more often than not a sort of ghetto of one or other of the working-class cultures. Outsiders are most definitely not welcome on most. Incomers have to rent privately, but I concur with your assessment of the various nationalities. I know Chinese and Bangladeshi people very well, and they're invariably decent and hard-working types. The Poles too.

But even British "Council" wouldn't stoop to some of the stuff the Romanians do - sending the kids out to commit crime or at the very least, root through people's bins for salvage. That's not "council", it's feral.

(BTW the social housing in NI is run by a department called the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, usually referred to as "the Executive", and thus "council" say they live in an executive home, which can be misconstrued by someone from the mainland as 4-bed, 2-bathroom.)

Except for those who're highly qualified, highly skilled people, usually doctors, who're helping to keep our hospitals properly staffed! My experience is that there are good and bad people from every country, pretty much without exception.

I've been in the game longer than Austin,I don't post much.. he is more eloquent than I.

I do however concur with much he says....yes we know there is good and bad in all and I try not to generalise
or presuppose in any dealings I have with tenants/customers/clients on a daily basis.

I love doing it..cant wait for Mondays to come around to "get back amongst "em"

One of my regulars likes to remind me that "he pays my wages"...The last job he had was a fireman on the railways.

I was wondering about schooling. Now my school must have been very common because the exam papers were called the Common Entrance Exams. Are these the same as they take today age 12 or can they not get into a "common" school?
