They seem really good
It's a tossup for me between them or the BNP (LOLRACISM). Mainly because of the EU stance costing us a lot of money, and their education policies.

This may be the first time any political party has been described as looking "really good"

( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:35, archived)

For any tiny bit of good the BNP does, there are a trillion bad things they do.

Name a party that doesn't do that
I think making Britain seperate from the EU would be a good start though.

During a recession, the idea that companies should employ British people as opposed to 'cheap foreign labour' appeals to me at the minute.
Normally, I'd say it's anybody's choice, but right now, there are tonns of us that are fucked.
( Methylene Blue - electrohead, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:43, archived)

what,
the minimum wage applies to everybody. "Cheap foreign labour" is usually when it's outsourced to India.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:44, archived)

No no, using illegal immigrants for your work force and paying them less than minimum wage is legal under the current Labour government.

( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Wed 27 May 2009, 18:46, archived)

illegal immigration is legal?
what?
It's not legal to employ illegal immigrants on ANY wage.

You didn't understand my post.
I was being sarcastic.

I erred on the side of caution.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:49, archived)

... surely caution would put you on the side of not thinking I'm a complete moron.
surely hopefully
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Wed 27 May 2009, 18:51, archived)

I thought the cautious line here
would be to make that point as clear as possible, for a certain individual.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:53, archived)

That's the ridiculously optimistic line.

Did you not see the headlines?
They made me laugh
( Methylene Blue - electrohead, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:51, archived)

Any particular paper?
Yes, sometimes newspaper headlines can be very funny. Often because they are the completely deranged rantings of a madman with a grudge, with all the grammar taken out.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:54, archived)

Could have been either the Daily Express
Or some London paper.

It was purely the headline. I don't bother reading those.

Jesus

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:57, archived)

This is certainly true in theory.
In practise, there are a number of unscrupulous employers and agencies who deliberately hire workers with a poor grasp of English so that they can exploit them, paying them less than the minimum, or even charge them for work. These are usually big (multi-)national companies, e.g. Dominos.

Personally I'd prefer tigher auditing and tougher penalties, but like any other prohibitive law, it would still be circumvented; some poor bastards with no crime other than some dodgy book-keeping would get whacked with the full punishment while the real criminals would still flout the law with bare-faced cheek, because they can afford to hire the best lawyers.

Yeah someone will always break the rules
even if it was the BNP who had made the rules.

Anyway I reckon it's all the immigrants leaving that's crashed our economy in the first place.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Wed 27 May 2009, 18:56, archived)

But it's only poor people who are affected by that.

Pretty much every party in the UK has policies that overall do more good than bad
even if it's 51/49 one way.

the BNP is about 1/99.

Has any other party taken a hard line stance on France receiving
20% fucking percent of the ENTIRE budget of the EU? TWENTY PERCENT! Of money that's meant to be distributed between 27 states? Do you see that? TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT. That's worth some casual racism.

The (LOLRACISM) bit was because people think I'm a racist
Therefore would vote BNP on those grounds.

If you vote BNP, people will think you are a racist, confirmed.
