Every day, more and more iron bars go up. Brits are trapped in and "others" are trapped out.

Meanwhile slave labour continues to rise as the biggest form of employment (1 Million and rising are the modish ZERO hour contracts, yeah) leaving the average household beholden to borrowing from banks (yipee) to survive or scrounging from (ever increasing) food banks to sustain their families (tralala).

Never mind - British soldiers can now kill at will and will be exempt from 'human rights" dilemmas (wowee) and get off Scott free whatever they do abroad (phew!).

And finally, if you're a foreign student expecting to pay good money for some much-touted British education - Theresa May says FUCK OFF FOREIGNER!

Poor, poor Brits! Will no one come to save them from the fascist regime ....

Absolutely 'On the button' !.

Anjem Choudary is doing five years for expressing precisely the same sentiments as you have highlighted.

Admittedly He added a few other choice observations which He declares necessary to clean up the place a bit BUT, all in all, it's possible that the man is also 'On the button' in one or two places.

Actually, I fancy the chap is a lot better off in the 'Nick' than most of the poor bastards that have to get out to work for a living.

The world doesn't owe you a living. You either got to work for living or use your brain.

if you don't want to work, then you got to think laterally and create something for yourself, but no one is going to give it to you.

This is the case in every country.

if you want a commie Flat, and work in the State Fields for a bowl of rice and an apple, then "north korea" is for you old chap and GreekIslandGirl!

I am personally in the fortunate position that enables me to exclude myself from the drudgery of 'Going out to do a day's work' or some such, however, being mindful of the circumstances of those less fortunate than myself (which is a CONSTANT in my case) there is rather a good case for focusing on the working conditions that NOW are the lot of so many that ARE obliged to hire themselves to labour.

'Employment Agencies' have become a seriously lucrative business for those who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the common working person, the 'Government of the UK' consider the operation of such 'Agencies' as an asset since, the 'Worker' is helplessly bound to all the control (and exploitation) foisted upon them by such 'Agencies' whilst the 'Government' can lay claim to the fact that there are an abundance of jobs available for those willing to work AND, by massaging the figures, triumphantly proclaim that 'Unemployment' is at an all time low.

Nonsense of course, the 'Truth' is, the average worker ('Agency Employed') is nothing more than a 'Slave' (in real terms) and are obliged to even wear the names of their 'Slave-masters' emblazoned on the back of their 'High Viz' waistcoats having been informed that the object of such apparel is to preserve their safety in the work-place, more nonsense of course, the 'Truth' is that nobody really gives a damn for the safety of the slaves BUT, in the event of any mishaps at work, the 'Insurance Companies' will undoubtedly find some excuse to blame the 'Slave' for such.

Have a chat (as I have) to those poor 'Slaves' that venture forth to work on their 'Zero Hours Contracts' and let me know if you manage to find a 'Happy' one, they even have to phone in (in some cases) on a daily basis to check if there is work available to them.

On a lighter note....'Poetic Justice' perhaps ?, my information is based upon a lengthy conversation I recently had with a young chap who is struggling to make ends meet whilst hoping to secure a 'Permanent Position' in the warehouse where He is temporarily employed, it is hardly likely that He will succeed since the 'Agency' has a clause in their agreement which means that the 'Company' which engages the services of the 'Agency', must effectively 'BUY' the worker if it wishes to offer Him/Her a secure position.

Now for the 'Poetic Justice' (aforementioned) the owner of the 'Agency' (in question) is a full 'Bone in the Nose' African and he is master to a consignment of well over 100 'Slaves' (mostly White) and of various nationalities.

Anjem Choudary was perfectly correct when he made His comment about the 'Slavery' of the working folk of the UK (and elsewhere?), He did not offer His opinion lightly, it was a considered verdict on His observations BUT, He was howled down and vilified for it (well, He would be wouldn't He ?) which leaves one to wonder, does the expression "What goes around, comes around" have any significance in the future prospects for the youngsters of the UK (and elsewhere ?) perhaps it was not such a good idea to abolish 'Slavery' in the days when the 'Empire' was at it's strongest and had it's boot placed firmly on the throats of those subjected to it's tyranny.

Then.THERE was the "Call it Jobseeker's allowance but actually it's Jihadist seeker's allowance".

SORRY, but I was at the Danish embassy in 2006. Choudary was anything but some kind of heroic figure. HE'S what in Anglo Saxon terminology WE refer to as........... an ASSHOLE. A complete COWARD. (Sorry GIG - I am being hypocritical)

I don't think 'Anjem Choudary' would ever warrant the title of an 'Heroic Figure' (other than among those who share His drastic views BUT, (in order to please YOUR apparent penchant for piss-taking ) I am of the opinion that some of His comments relating to the standards of morality and general lack of decency, respectability (even the self respect so clearly visible in the written exchanges on THIS forum where foul language seems to be the accepted norm ) deserve to be given some credit since they are undoubtedly true.

It must be quite bewildering for those who struggle to eke out an existence whilst under the pressures of injustice in the work-place, to imagine that such persons as 'Anjem Choudary' are better treated (in the prisons the tax-payer funds) than THEY are.

Enjoy your concept of FREEDOM "Londonrake", your writings suggest that you have reached the pinnacle of whatever occupation YOU may be involved with, I DO hope you are not one of the 'Slaves' referred to, your apparent predicament would appear to be difficult enough already (as the oldJew said)

[Paphitis]

Well it looks like the sterling's slump was a glitch in a computer algorithm which suspended Billions worth of trade in a split second.

Oh well! better luck next time.

[Paphitis]

Thank you. I will just have to try to get by unassisted then.

BTW and FWIW. I don't think your case is helped by the use of gutter language. You don't really need to use it.

He is a pootin sympathiser now. The guy got paid off with favours and has done a 180 but we need to make allowances. he is too old and lucky to be getting any action at all.

Milti:

You have such a way with words ......... did you ever think of becoming an Orthodox Priest?

Well Robin, since I'm in the process of preparing my permanent return to Paradise Island, and having lost a considerable amount of ....wine purchasing power, I may just consider becoming a ....preacher I hear the pay is rather generous !!

step right up. Values and beliefs on sale at bargain basement prices.

Reserve price: 2 bottles of cheap plonk.

I feel very happy for you.

but it doesn't seem you are mindful of innocent civilians in Aleppo or children who are in a less fortunate position to yourself.

'Employment Agencies' have become a seriously lucrative business for those who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the common working person, the 'Government of the UK' consider the operation of such 'Agencies' as an asset since, the 'Worker' is helplessly bound to all the control (and exploitation) foisted upon them by such 'Agencies' whilst the 'Government' can lay claim to the fact that there are an abundance of jobs available for those willing to work AND, by massaging the figures, triumphantly proclaim that 'Unemployment' is at an all time low.

Employment Agencies offer a good service. I am not familiar with those in the UK, but Agents do a great job elsewhere and generally make life pretty easy and many have contracts from private enterprise for talent Acquisition.

The reward only makes it better for more players to come to the market and help more people get gainful employment. no one will do it for nothing.

Nonsense of course, the 'Truth' is, the average worker ('Agency Employed') is nothing more than a 'Slave' (in real terms) and are obliged to even wear the names of their 'Slave-masters' emblazoned on the back of their 'High Viz' waistcoats having been informed that the object of such apparel is to preserve their safety in the work-place, more nonsense of course, the 'Truth' is that nobody really gives a damn for the safety of the slaves BUT, in the event of any mishaps at work, the 'Insurance Companies' will undoubtedly find some excuse to blame the 'Slave' for such.

That is not the case. Their job is to achieve the objectives of their client being the company looking for skilled or unskilled people.

The Union seems pretty ok with the service they provide and even recommend a number of Agencies which are well known and operate in a niche area.

Have a chat (as I have) to those poor 'Slaves' that venture forth to work on their 'Zero Hours Contracts' and let me know if you manage to find a 'Happy' one, they even have to phone in (in some cases) on a daily basis to check if there is work available to them.

I have no idea what a Zero hours contract is. Never heard of such a thing.

The UK also enforces a minimum wage so it is untrue tio suggest they are a part to slave labour.

On a lighter note....'Poetic Justice' perhaps ?, my information is based upon a lengthy conversation I recently had with a young chap who is struggling to make ends meet whilst hoping to secure a 'Permanent Position' in the warehouse where He is temporarily employed, it is hardly likely that He will succeed since the 'Agency' has a clause in their agreement which means that the 'Company' which engages the services of the 'Agency', must effectively 'BUY' the worker if it wishes to offer Him/Her a secure position.

don't know what you're talking about.

Companies issue Bonds to employees if they have to leave within a certain time. I had to do this on one occasion where I had to pay out my company to leave which is designed to recover some training costs and offer a disincentive for staff turnover early on. These types of contracts only apply to highly skilled workers which are expensive to train.

Now for the 'Poetic Justice' (aforementioned) the owner of the 'Agency' (in question) is a full 'Bone in the Nose' African and he is master to a consignment of well over 100 'Slaves' (mostly White) and of various nationalities.

well if that is the case, then you should notify British industrial Relations. There are severe penalties for slave labour and no reputable Employment Agency will associate itself with this activity.

Anjem Choudary was perfectly correct when he made His comment about the 'Slavery' of the working folk of the UK (and elsewhere?), He did not offer His opinion lightly, it was a considered verdict on His observations BUT, He was howled down and vilified for it (well, He would be wouldn't He ?) which leaves one to wonder, does the expression "What goes around, comes around" have any significance in the future prospects for the youngsters of the UK (and elsewhere ?) perhaps it was not such a good idea to abolish 'Slavery' in the days when the 'Empire' was at it's strongest and had it's boot placed firmly on the throats of those subjected to it's tyranny.

You mean pakistani sweat shop labour.

as I said, Anjem should have taken his complaint to Industrial Relations rather than associate a Government which is completely false.

It is good that he has been sacked.

[Paphitis]

Oh you mean Anjem Choudary?

he has been convicted for his allegiance to DAESH and for spreading hate speech. He is a terrorist and will do time in jail.

foe a second I actually took your post seriously thinking that there were serious allegations being made about slave labor in Britain.

The slaves of the british Working Classes say good riddance to bad rubbish!

[miltiades]

At least we can be proud that STG has been officially declared as the worst performing currency since the Argentine Peso in the months following the disastrous Brexit vote. At just over 1.24 US $ this morning and barely 1.11 Euros, it looks as if the slide is unstoppable. Well folks, as I said earlier at least our NHS is better off by 350 million A WEEK !!

the slide is just temporary.

It's pretty pathetic that all the EU sell outs are preaching all the doom and gloom when Britain is paving its own way in this world.

Put it this way, when a EU country goes bust, then all you get is austerity and that's all they deserve for being so STUPID!
