Well, you can spend a billion on players, but that doesn’t buy you heart and commitment ! Newcastle 4 , Chelsea 1…. Cheers.

I’ll try to explain it this way; You have a company that employs ten people. They produce £100 of goods per week each.That’s a COMPANY GDP of £1,000 and an EMPLOYEE GDP of £100 each. You then employ a further ten immigrants, five semi skilled and five labourers. Your COMPANY GDP then rises to £1,500; a rise of 50%, but your EMPOLYEE GDP drops to £750 each. So, on the books, your company looks very profitable, but your average employee wage drops by 25% ! Transpose that to the whole country, and the GDP is bigger, but wages are lower . Cheers.

The more people in the country, even if only a small percentage are actually contributing , adds to GDP and “growth”. It may add to overall growth and GDP but reduces per capita GDP , so the working person is less well off but the government’s books look good. Its all smoke and mirrors, what’s wrong with static growth, no inflation and steady wages ? Immigration allows for lower wages, more tax income and bigger profits for employers. Cheers.

Another little tale about another cockney ex RN comms tech I worked with. We were contracted to the Royal Saudi Airforce as instructors at the Air Defence underground bunker just outside of Riyadh. We were bussed in every day on the shift bus and the guard would check our “red, all areas passes”, but they would give this particular cockney a hard time, as, admittedly, he was a bit of a racist. One night shift, the cockney lad went up top for a smoke and noticed the guard was asleep and his weapon unattended ! The cockney crept up, stripped the weapon and laid it out at the

I remember Xmas parties in Thailand in November, those Buddhists sure throw a great Xmas party ! LOL ! Cheers.

“Caricature” of a typical cockney isn’t the same as typical cockney. I’ve met loads of cockneys I’ve gotten on very well with. Just like the Welsh lads , jocks, paddy’s and just about every other regional or national people I’ve met. Working in foreign lands is a great leveller and you learn a lot about people you depend on. Stereotypes arn’t for me. I take people as I find them. Cheers.

Far too soon ! The man should be thrashed with the spindly excuse for a Christmas tree in the picture! Cheers.

I was stationed out in the desert one time and there were, supprisingly, a few ex RN lads, mainly comms types. Anyhow one was a caricature of a typical cockney but a good lad. We we’re on leave at the same time and he phoned to see if he could come up to Newcastle and have a drink with me. I said of course and told him my local pub. I went in the night I was supposed to meet him and the barman told me some cockney spiv in a trench coat who looked like special branch had been in asking about me, but don’t worry, we said we never heard of you and f****d the c**t off ! Put him rig

Excellent, mate, I was only joking ! Cheers.

I spent a lot of time in Angelo’s Scooter Shop at the bottom of Shields road in my mod days ! Cheers.

Got to admire a man who puts ferreting before his wife’s birthday ! They have a birthday every year; it’s not every day you can get out ferreting ! Kudo’s mate, you have my admiration ! LOL ! Cheers.

My missus is from Byker . I used to drink in the Butchers, The Raby, the Key Club and an old mate of mine owned the Wolsey, the Railway and the Cons Club next to Byker Bridge . Shields Road used to be a great place to shop and drink years ago, pre Byker Wall. Cheers.

Twinning Stockton with Chernobyl may have been a mistake by the council . Cheers.

Uncle Eli; Cheers.

Hmm; I question the veracity of your tale. No self respecting northerner would say “oop ”, that’s southern spiel ! If you had said “up t’arse” or “up me shitter”, that would have been more believable ! LOL ! Cheers.

Grandad Zachary; Great uncle Shadrack ; Cheers.

Our new Home Secretary was picked up on an open mike in the commons saying that Stockton is a shithole……….at last ; an MP telling the truth ! PMSL ! Cheers.

Another batch of pigs liver pâté; with onion, garlic, chilli and mushrooms, and brandy, topped with melted butter and smoked paprika. Cheers.

Leo the Paki Puff was on tv earlier, slagging off the “far right thugs” , but not a mention of the woman and kids stabbed or the shithouse that stabbed them ! Cheers.
-
Reports of the Holiday Inn migrant hotel in Dublin being set on fire. Cheers.
-
So now you’re a “far right lunatic “ if you protest your children and women being stabbed ? Id say it was ordinary people worried and frightened for the future of your children and country ! Cheers.

Sky are reporting “violent, hooligan, lunatic far right” are rioting in Dublin . Not a word about the person who stabbed three children, a woman and a man……. Cheers.

An Algerian immigrant evidently, people on the streets of Dublin. Cheers.

Just my opinion but the UK government pretends to want to restrict immigration but allows more and more in. The Irish government doesn’t even pretend, they are quite open about welcoming immigrants. Cheers.

I’m fairly ambivalent about ID cards, I already have three; my passport , driving license and bus pass ! Cheers.
