| http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8649012.stm Calls a Labour voter asking him questions a 'bigot'.. HE says she raised the question of EU immigration 'Eastern Europeans' - who have every right to live / work in the UK - as much as we have in say - Cyprus.. I wonder who is telling the truth... ? Mr Brown, I won't be voting for you, but if the lady WAS moaning about EU immigrants - YOU WERE RIGHT ! |

| Meanwhile,...... Gordon Brown has probably done undue harm to Labours Election prospects. The political processes in the UK, the EU,... (including Holland), will have an effect upon many UK or EU expats in NC. For example, if the UK had a hung Parliament with the LibDems in a decisive role, what would be the effect on NC if the Euro was introduced as part of a bi-zonal agreement? Many expats also have families in their home countries, they will also be affected. Rob |

What do non-Brits care about "political processes" in the UK (Ha ha! Are you talking about the corruption in the "Mother of Parliaments"?!) in a part of the Western European world, where most of the people do not want to "share" our 'problem'? Keep your beloved Pound and let the 800 million idiots in the rest of Europe struggle with the Euro. And we'll all be happy. P.S. In the past six years *I* didn't complain - not ever - about the interest on my Euro account - the posts of British people complaining about the downfall of the interest on their Sterling accounts are numerous. P.P.S. Telling each other facts here now. How many British people HAD to leave the island because they couldn't hold up their own pants - because of the downfall of the Pound...?! |

| DC; never let the facts get in the way of truth. You're 800million idiots seems a tad excessive considering only around 368million live in the 16 nation eurozone. Speaking of governance how's your southern neighbour doing these days? Come to think of it how's your northern neighbour doing? Read Der Spiegel about the euromess very informative. |

| And as this post, like so many others, seems to be including its fair share of whinges (and whingers), here's one of mine, somewhat on topic (or maybe not): I've just secured a UK visa for my wife so we can visit London in August. I asked if we could go to the continent while there, and was told we couldn't. We needed a Schengen visa as well. This doubles the price. Can anyone explain to me why the UK is different from the rest of the EU? |

| By association, anyone who objects to the present mass immigration in the UK is also seen by him as a bigot. By all accounts that's a majority of voters. Obviously he doesn't accept that there is a problem which needs solving. And he's certainly not listening to the electorate. As an EU member we have to accept free movement of EU citizens as we have no veto in the matter. If you're in favour of the EU just put up with it, or elect UKIP ! |

| In a few years of Brown in government my community charge quadrupled, my nearly completed endowments lost all profits and suffered a 10% shortfall, he trousered over 60% of my personal pension fund, removed as not politically correct the oldest and most efficient secular office in the UK and thus my employment bringing premature retirement from work I loved. Apart from squandering of gold reserves etc prudence funded Blair's ego trip in the Middle East so Blur Blair now believes that he is chosen by God to bring peace to the Middle East. Can call him worse than an idiot. Needs a suicide pact with Blair and collateral damage to all the other cronies such as Mandelson (Meddlesome), 2 Jags, etc who have brought UK to the edge of disaster as the Disunited Kingdom. Phew, got that off me chest then ! I have siblings and relatives aged in their 70s who always thought of themselves as "true labour" but would now never vote for them again. |

Sold 60% of Gold reserves at low prices, against Treasury advice, to pay for his prodigality. Abondoned sweet Prudence and took up with those harlots Profilagacy and Improvidence. Promised to Banish those knaves Boom and Bust and then reinstated them. Failed to regulate the financial market worsening the recession. Promised to listen to the voter and then calls us Bigots when we disagree with him. Has there ever been a worse tax and spend chancellor in recent UK history ? Or a more useless PM ? |

So.. the woman WAS and IS a bigot... BTW You forgot.. folk fed up with Eastern Europeans could also vote BNP, too ! So, imagine - no longer being members of the EU and Brits needing to have visas and Residency Permits... ;) ? [ irony intended - just for Hans ;) ] |

| Re : Msg 27, "Can anyone explain to me why the UK is different from the rest of the EU?" Good question, Rottolover.. You should perhaps ask your government why they had refused to join Schengen area when it was first created and keep refusing since. UK has never bothered to invest into a proper border control. Recent Border Force is a " too little too late" measure. Hence the hordes of illegal immigrants ( more than 1 million) - many of whom are convicted criminals - roaming the the British Isles. And of course for the immigration authorities it is much easier to harass law-abiding non- EU spouses and their families (UK consulates are notorious for their attitude) than to deal with the real problems of illegal immigration. Your wife has my sympathy. Clarissa |

| Mark re msg 40 You miss the point totally! Gordons 'false flag' answer that 1m Brits work in Europe ignores the fact that they are mostly skilled, tradespeople or professionals. They have not moved to Europe for minimum wage subsistence jobs or freely available benefits. The 1m E European immigrants that she was querying are practically all on minimum wage, often abused by 'Gangmasters', living in squalid conditions and often applying for benefits or Social help and access to the NHS. She was most definitely NOT a bigot! She was looking for answers from our Prime Minister,.. he just fobbed her off with yet more crap! Have you ever heard of gangs of Brit pickpockets and thieves operating in Europe? Brits involved in People traficking and prostitution in Romania or Poland? Brit beggars in Europe? Living in squalor? You really are way off track. Rob |

| Unfortunately Rob, so are you. Most economic migrants flock to UK to make a better life for their families. It's not their fault that UK border agency let them in. They will, eventually, sink the lifeboat that they see as UK. The Poles are going home, albeit with their pockets full of sterling, but what would you do to benefit your family. If we let them, they will come, and who can blame them. Tony |

| Tony Sorry, I don't agree. When have you ever heard of Brit 'migrants' to Europe being accused of taking jobs off locals at minimum wages and abusing welfare sysytems? It just doesn't happen. p.s. I live amongst a large Polish community in West London, they are not going home with 'their pockets full of sterling', they are opening businesses, buying homes, and being widely accepted as welcome and beneficial to our economy. Have you ever actually talked to Polish people? Or just read articles in the Daily Mail? Rob |

| msg 49; Robnjo, from the early 60's until the late 70's I was a miner in the Yorkshire coalfields. I met many Poles, most of them ex WW11 soldiers. The respect I had for these men was not reciprocated. Most of them thought that we, the English, had let hem down in WW11. I gathered that this was because they were now ruled by USSR. After all these years I still remember some of these people, a Little Englander I am not. I don't mind, unlike some, if you do not agree. We are all entitled to our opinion. Tony |

| Rob - message 49. I agree with you entirely. I live in East Anglia, although London born and bred. We have large communities of Eastern European workers, as well as Portuguese. The point that strikes me is this - many Eastern Europeans are prepared to work for less than the minimum wage. All well and good, to some extent, and many companies are more than willing to employ them, understandably. However, what seems to have been 'overlooked' (if that is the right word) is the strain that this places on the country as a whole. The health service is struggling, as are schools, with this huge influx. To me, what is good news for employers is not, necessarily, good for the country as a whole. I work for a GP practice and what it costs the health service in interpretation service alone, is phenomenal. I would like, for example, to visit, say, Latvia, and see what services I am offered free of charge. However, as others have said, if these benefits were offered, who would refuse? |

| Jeannie, it is illegal, in this country, to pay workers less than the minimum wage, no matter how willing the workers are to accept it. This is maybe the crux of the complaint about economic migrants. D |

| re 47 RobnJo You miss the point totally! ..actually as someone married to an immigrant from Eastern Europe, living quite legally in the UK - The women is a BIGOT- an ignorant one, at that.. >>1m Brits work in Europe ignores the fact that they are mostly skilled, tradespeople or professionals. They have not moved to Europe for minimum wage subsistence jobs or freely available benefits. << Have you actually opened your eyes? Check out the bars in Limassol.. ? Many broke pensioners - who can't afford to live in the Euro-zone on UK pensions, and tradesman builders who can't find a job.. so much for your skilled workforce and 'affluence'. Did you know that Eastern Eurpeans have NOT taken jobs from Brits? Did you know that most employers PREFER 'em as they are highly intelligent and work FAR harder? Ask in a nursing home - owners / residents - would you like the E.Europeans to have to go home?. NO.. they do the jobs Brits don't want ! They have as much right to jobs as Brits.

| Brits abroad are using the health services of the host nations and their kids are being educated at state schools.. I've encountered the locals resentment at my biz taking away 'their' trade, and reminded them ' you wanted in the EU, I've as much right to be here as you' It is somewhat ironic to hear you 'attempt' to tell me 'I'm off track' .. We've seen how ignorant locals behave from both sides.. It's pure ignorance.. Certain political parties are 'feeding' off such 'fear' .. it's reprehensible. I know the EU is corrupt and inefficient, but the members haven't had a war - and it is high time many folk in the UK realised that EU citizens can move to / live in ANY EU state they chose, and we had better 'buck up' and be better educated about our neighbours... soon we may need to go to work / live in their nations.. Sadly, British citizens get arrested in EU nations for theft / drugs offences and disorderly behaviour.. I am surprised you need to be reminded of suc |

| It might not interest you much, but I do recall visiting a very fine textile factory which manufactures finest Cashmere woollen products that they were highly appreciative of their Eastern European (Polish I think) craftswomen, without whom they could not manage. Employers will employ those who are good at their jobs and our economy depends on it. The world doesn't owe you a living, you must go where the work you can do is. |

| p.s I had to do this also in the dark days of Tory gov. when our country - Scotland was reduced to horrendous unemployment - over 30% in my area. And I was at that time a young widow with 4 children, well eudcated and it was agony to see them trying to find work. I will never forget those times which should have been the best but they were they worst. |

| Looks like a Tory/ Lib pact now. Cameron won last nights debate but no one answered the budget deficit question as predicted. However, this is a poisoned chalice of the highest order. With the state of the economy and millions completely dependent on the state for survival and many more millions working for the Government, the nuked budget deficit will have to be tackled or else the IMF will soon run the country. When the cut backs happen as they must the screaming, riots and demo's will commence and those in power will be the target for the millions of sheep. |

| RE msg 64, clarets: I was just wondering - thanks for your answer. And for the alternative: let's hope the LibDem's candidate Mr Nick Clegg will join the government - he speaks perfect Dutch (his mother is Dutch), so the outstanding friendly relations between British and Dutch people will be even better than they are already now. |

| Our localTory candidate has been expelled from party and also suspended from his job as a primary teacher because he said that such things as "gays" were not normal. I am sorry, but even though I would not vote for him, this is political correctness gone foo far. Although I would not agree with all that he says, the fact remains, he speaks for the majority in our region, and if they are "neandearthal" sorry, but that is what the people feel. They do not want teaching to our primary kids about this subject, for various reason, both religious and moral. |

| re msg 71 Newscoop To BE a Bigot one would have to demonstrate: elements of obstinacy, irrationality, and animosity toward those of differing devotion. I said the woman is an ignorant ( of the law re EU citizens rights) Bigot - where is the flaw in that statement..IF you listened to her complaining about all the Eastern Europeans complaining ..? Feel free to revert when you have REALLY thought before posting...... |

| RE msg 13, minertor: Why don't you - just once - write something expats in TRNC or TC's would benefit from? You're negative and destructive and nothing else. Proud of yourself? This is the message that led to my ban, posted by DC, (It's copy and post, ergo the ' in TC's that shouldn't be there) posted 6 mins after my banter with a former "protagonist, nothing to do with Hans. This was after he had a pop at clarets in this thread and before similar pops at mmmmmm, all Brits, (for the downfall of the pound) blackbird and newscoop. Then he, DC, has the nerve to whinge that I'm always stabbing him in the back. The last time I had a bad posting from DC was late sept. last year when he inferred that I was a coward. I was in UK at the time but was due to fly over in a couple of days. I told Hans that I would be at the opening of his chess club on Oct 5th and he'd find out whether I was a coward or not. He replied that I had misunderstood him, he didn't mean me. cont |

| cont, in the last 7 months I have not had one snide comment from DC, ha has usually agreed or kept quiet. I returned to UK on 24th April and the message from DC was posted on 28th April. I will always defend by attacking, but my nasty head is in it's box, so I can answer without being banned again. I am not complaining about the ban, it was deserved. DC then starts a thread (now closed so I can't reply)defending himself against my accusation that he was running a scam with his map/cd sales. I noticed how he reacted to Brinsley's post about tax on his earnings from these and his reply. All members that have run a business will be familiar with creative accounting, that's why we pay them so much. I noticed by the supportive postings in his "defending my reputation, re. scams" post how naive some marks are. These will go a long way to proving my point. I will explain the mechanics of scamming, or confidence tricks in a continuation. I am not accusing DC of doing this, just the mech |

| cont. confidence tricks are usually pulled by 2 artists. Like good cop bad cop. The first stage is to build up a rapport with your mark/s. Make them like you and trust you. Put yourself out for them. When the time comes for the hit, dangle it (there's a chess equivalent, poison pawn or something) DO NOT look like you are trying to sell them anything. Let them think that buying your crap is their idea. (afterwards you'll moften find marks saying "he never pushed us to buy anything, but we did anyway" Del Trotter is only a learner at this game. Must admit I parted with 20tl. Before the world fall on me, answer me a question or two. How many found the upside maps any use on the walk? How many maps were laminated, I creased mnine so felt obliged to buy it. How many thought the cd had dialogue on it? How many have actually looked at the photos since you downloaded them. DC says I attack him because I don't like him, he's right about my not liking him but I only attack in response to his. |

| cont: nearly finished. If half the members on his "FREE" walks pay 20tl, DC is raking in about 240 - 300 tl for 90 minutes work. I will now ask Hans a question or two and I promise to believe his answers and not mention this subject again. 1/ how much do you maqke on your "FREE" walks. 2/ Would you continue the "FREE" walks if you weren't selling your tat. 3/ How much do you take in 4/5 hours at Lambousa on Saturdays You did say that anyone is welcome to vist your accountant, we can't all go so could you answer the questions, and prove to your supporters how wrong I am. As to your assertion that I am 100% negative, I will, reluctantly, list the names of some members that know me. Could they post any negative comments about me, without prejudice. First on the list must be your friends, Guido and Liz, Chris (nurseawful) Smithy, deccandyl, japeal, micksturbs, Brinsley, Johnny lee, fiendishpaul, denizen. Leave it at that for now, no positives please, don't want you in his bads bookj |

Do you know what this about, Isabella? Don't concern yourself about Hans not answering "this person" I was banned for reacting to Hans's attack on me. Click on profiles, go back as far as you can and you will find I have never attacked hans, or anyone else unless they have attacked me or my friends first. The problem on this forum is caused by stupid people like you that post without knowing what the prevailing situation is. At the risk of another ban I will say that DC is a classic bully type, next time you are in his company, ignore him and direct your attention to Trixy, she will not answer without getting his approval. I picked up on this without spending too much time in their company. I have defended myself, nothing more, nothing less. Tony |

"how childish you are Minertor" what person with half a brain would take any notice of what you "think" look at the posts. Why do you think that "Odious Hans" has withdrawn into his shell. He knows he has been found out, he will return because he can't do any other. He will claim that it is to help others, he is a liar. When he is helping he is second to none, unfortunately he thinks he is indispensable, he isn't. D |
