I past the teachers assistants protest today en route to Dryburn ....
They want them to take a 25 per cent cut in wages ....was what the leaflet they handed out said
I try very hard not to get so peed off that we can take every Tom Duck and Harry in from other countries feed clothe and house them ....
But cant pay out a decent wage to people who want to work and put something back into society by taking care of our children grandchildren
And all for the privilege of having to work to our near 70th birthday to fund the wave of hangers on and terrorist sympathisers ....
They took 25 per cent of peoples money who cant work and are incapacitated .....no big hoo haa
Lets take 25 per cent off benefits that are given to people who have never worked here
let alone took time to even learn our language
His big speech about every one must learn to speak English for benefits
then threw 20 million plus on helping them to learn our language whilst taking our money and spending it how they choose
That money should have not been used in that way ...I cant think of a country that pays the people to learn a language of a country they have lived in for years on free handouts
When will common sense ever prevail ?

Ridiculous:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:! I was just sitting here, putting something away, with the TV in the background and not even hearing anything from it. Then I heard a bleep sound, turned round, looked at the TV, saw a block with "CENSORED!" written on it and now I'm watching the TV.
I could not tell what he had said at all, however I heard the audience laugh. So, it was funny, and I have been deprived of that! However, I'm laughing now, but not at what he said, instead at the ridiculousness of it all, of the broadcast:rotfl::rotfl:. Of course it's put the F word in my mind, so when it's bleeped, they may as well be saying that regardless of what they said originally or did not. Now, they've done it again - another bleep and "CENSORED!" block a minute or so later, and this time, that one, clearly is the F word. So it was hardly "censored" at all. Fortunately I'm at home so this hasn't bothered me. I can just sit there, not paying attention and all I'll hear, when it's bleeped, is the swearing.
Think I might kick the bleeping TV in now:rotfl::rotfl:. Except that I won't as it's not bothered me.
Hey ho, just another diversion away from what I was packing away:D. So all it's done is divert me from that so I'll just get back to it now. I can hear swearing from the TV from another room - but only when it's bleeped. There (when I'm in another room) all I hear on the TV is the swearing and nothing else at all. I don't even hear what's on the TV at all when it's unbleeped.
Anyway, I like swearing:D, so all is well. Just makes me curious as to what that first word was now, the one they did manage to remove. But not to worry - I've settled it as the F word derivative, whether or not it originally was. (I did have one before - fortunately(?) it was of a video, bleeped on TV (rather annoyed me actually:rotfl::rotfl::doh:), that the Guardian newspaper helpfully provided an unedited video of. The word turned out to be an extremely mild word and not at all the word I had got. So, yet again, I suspect, it was raised up the scale by the bleeping.
Notice that, where I've said "bleeping", above, that is the only word I've used. If I meant the F word derivative I would have written "bleep" in five capital letters and with square brackets around it and then immediately put "ing" after it. So, that's the pedantic form of expression that tells you when I mean "bleeping" and when I mean the swearword (that version I don't use) on here, a pedanticness(?) that you are used to.
I'm going to restart my packing. Thank goodness (or maybe bleep:D) for that:rotfl::rotfl::wave:.0 -
