She doesn't live anywhere specific, KT is all around us....

Anyway entertaining though all this is, it's Sunday night 10.40, my wife has told me it's time for bed, it's my turn to get the Ovaltine, get the iPod set up for some bedside music and look forward to another day at the office tomorrow.
AND THANKS A BUNCH FOR NOT CONGRATULATING ME ON GETTING TO SENIOR MEMBERSHIP!

I shall look forward to getting into this thread tomorrow morning and read through all the congratulation posts.

Actuall, I went through the 100 mark without realising.

Hitler was less of a bigot and more of a xenophobe. He was also an alleged homosexual from Romany descent, through a questionable family tree originating in Austria. He did well for himself as an immigrant to Germany. He was scared of public transport too, after a beating he took when getting off a bus by the Reichstag once. The buses stopped going to the Reichstag stop after some non-community minded person burnt the place down in 1933. Very odd. After the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, there were one or two paramilitary organizations, quietly sanctioned by the somewhat alarmed government of the day, who were rumoured to be rushing to give Hitler free cars. A whole fleet in fact. And the odd tank. Not sure who signed the cheques though. I tried to find out and someone tried to shoot me [down]for asking a simple question to verify the authenticity of the rumour

I think you're having a senior moment. I haven't lived in Oakville for over two years.

I see that you're from Basingstoke. Also that you were looking at new houses in Oakville and found them nice. I think you'll find the move pretty easy.

Sounds pretty simple to understand to me, let me know when it sinks in. And please confirm where you get your 'facts' from... I dont believe anything written in newspapers.
I prefer real life situations than 'reputable publications' to make an opinion.

Please let us know how your father knew they were immigrants? Infact define what he considers an immigrant to be. DSS confirmed the cheque was genuine............how odd what with the data protection act and so plus they confirm why the cheque was given to them.This is more like an urban myth than anything else.

You've been asked to provide a credible source for any of these events. You can't. It's just a made up story. No amount of saying "but it's true" is convincing.

OK so you win, there's no problem with the case handling of immigrants and nobody has ever remained in the UK as an illegal immigrant after being denied asylum there are no homes in the country stacked floor to ceiling with numerous types of immigrants. No immigrant runs street rackets, and they buy their own leather jackets, cell phones and Tesco sneakers. The criminal underground (no it's not a tube stop) in London is not run by Albanian and Kosovan non-status crime gangs, in which case the police and crime intelligence sources are also bare faced frickin liars.

Yeah me too.

The government issuing a blank cheque to someone, seriously doubt that.

Never denied that. Plenty of evidence for it, in fact.

and nobody has ever remained in the UK as an illegal immigrant after being denied asylum

Err, never read about that (heard lots of stories since I was a kid about "Pakis" being packed in houses). How does that work then? Why are they "stacked"? Can't afford the rent?

No immigrant runs street rackets
Never denied that. Plenty of non-immigrants running street rackets too.

and they buy their own leather jackets, cell phones and Tesco sneakers.
Come on Rich, you can do better than that. Leather jackets are cheap. Ditto cell phones and Tesco sneakers. No-one is going to get all frothy and vote BNP over that. Come on, big it up a bit. I heard they get free cars. Porsches in fact. And houses. Big detached ones. In Chelsea.

The criminal underground (no it's not a tube stop) in London is not run by Albanian and Kosovan non-status crime gangs
There surely must be some criminals who are British? Are even our hard-working criminals being done out of a dishonest day's work by immigrants?

in which case the police and crime intelligence sources are also bare faced frickin liars.
Never denied that there are liars in the Police. Plenty of evidence for it.

As any propogandist will tell you: "if enough people believe something, it's a fact".
