Roger,
Personally I believe that council's go out of their way to employ these
politically correct crack pots!
I know of an episode in Rochdale, a few years ago, where an Asian girl
kept using white taxi's and not paying, one driver, who had been her
victim before, managed to catch her, who did she work for! the council!
When in Rome I do as the Romans do, and I expect them to do the same
here! as for anyone who takes offence every time the words coloured,
immigrants or any other word referring to anyone of a different race is
used, they can take a run and jump off the deep end with concrete boots
on! What you don't like that! well D I L L I G A F ! not heard of
dilligaf before, well basically it means I couldn't give a rodents
rectum mate! yeap you can take political correctness and put it where
that coloured ball in the sky doesn't shine.
We work with immigrants every day, we deport illegal immigrants, and we
employ immigrants to do it! Myself and the SS, skeleton staff, run a
cheap and efficient service. For further details, just contact:-
Mr Honest
Immigration officer
The Immigration centre
The cliff edge
Beachy head
Around the middle of last year I had occasion to phone my local
council's hackney carriage office to complain of a taxi driver who
refused to take my guide dog. In conversation I said that immigrants to
this country should be made aware that they will be expected to obey the
laws of this country That when in Rome do as Romans. The woman went mad
calling me the worse kind of racist and was going to report me then
slamming the phone down. A while later I received, unannounced, a visit
from the council department concerned with that sort of thing. They said
they were investigation to decide whether to prosecute me. They than
gave a list of the things I'd said which were twisted versions of what I
actually did say. I waited until they'd finished and simply asked if
they'd listened to the tape that was said about at the start of the
conversation on the phone. They admitted no so I told them to do so and
stop wasting my time. I didn't hear any more so I contacted them and was
told no further action was planned. I demanded an apology in writing or
I would start proceedings against them. I got it. So some people do jump
off the deep end without taking care to get their facts correct first.
So many people are so very over sensitive in finding reasons to be
offended.
Roger
