Who's been eating my carp?

[chesters1]

If other spaniards get them then so would others its plainly said in my last post ,welfare isnt just money its rent and taxes ,rent for houses rooms or flats and taxes asosiated with them

It may gripe you but its part of being in the union but you probably wont hear it from your government along with the unemployment figures and other bad news thats the problem with state controlled media

,

When the government decide what truth is you tend only to get the governments version

Wrong.

 

Social security provisions are entirely the provision of individual sovereign states.

 

We have an entirely different system to the UK.

 

- that's the most irresponsible statement I believe you've ever made.

Hi Phone...Absolutely no idea why that would be.

If you want a healthy discussion then don't take it on facebook . You could be blamed of inciting a riot.

Is this a good point to come back on topic, perhaps? Ken L wrote the quote beneath - I believe it has relevance here.

" I also like to come home to my own culture. English culture, not some homogenised one size fits all mix of everything, English culture ! And it really p***es me off when I see a bunch of wet PC idiots destroying it at every turn.
Does that make me narrow minded ? "

Perhaps the gentleman chose the wrong approach with his racially inflammatory notice, but isn't it just another example of the gradual erosion of our essential Englishness? Whatever the race, creed or culture of immigrant, it's the people of the host nation who are expected to bend whenever there's a culture clash. Surely it's a topsy-turvy way of doing things. I wouldn't expect the same deference to be shown to me as either visitor or ex-pat in another land. Just whose sensibilities are we protecting with our "PC at all costs" attitude.

Rob if there was any truth in what you say then the fishery owner would have been told the eastern europeans are allowed to kill and take all the carp as that is the perception of what is their culture.

 

That is not the case.

 

The fishery is allowed to carry on with it's rules not allowing carp to be taken. Indeed the fishery can allow who they want to fish, and impose whatever rules they want, within the law.

 

All they are not allowed to do is stick up a meaningless sign that is offensive and misguided given that as all generalisations it is not accurate.

[Anderoo]

This is not a PC at all costs crusade, nor is it an erosion of Englishness. It's not even a clash of cultures, even less so one which us natives are being stung over.

 

It's an issue of theft.

 

Identify and prosecute the thieves responsible. It really is as simple as that.

All,

 

Just for fun I've read 11 published versions of this story and there extensions .

 

Essentially a 75 year old great grandfather ask the police to help with catching EE's he "suspected" of ongoing long term fish theft. They didn't help.

 

Put up his now "famous" sign. It remained up for over 4 months (appearently with police approval).

 

Do gooder biytched. Police bailed off the guy like rats off a sinking ship.

 

It is true, he cannot confirm he has lost a single silver to EE's. He can't even REALLY say his livestock has become diminished. He used the all to often used "where there's smoke - there's fire".

 

Further rationalization for and against by fact and innuendo persist. (Sort of like this thread)

For jolly goodness sake, it is alleged that some foreign chaps have been eating foreign fish in our country, bloody hell, give them rods, snagging gear, 12 bores etc..it keeps them from robbing your garages and sheds and gets rid of the crap in our waters....where is the bloody problem?

 

 

 

 

 

and just in case the serious lot get in I'll add a smiley.....but I did mean it really
