mr keef Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Well over the last couple of years i'v seen immigrants flooding Newcastle,and to be honest i'v never been that bothered...but!!!i would say over the last few months the Taxi Ranks have been totally taken over by them...and the one thing that really gets to me is that over the last few months me and a lot of freinds have had the same bother!!you wait for a Taxi and all of a sudden before you even get in they wana know where your going....then they decide if its worth it for them to take you!!!!!!!!!for years with normal taxi drivers i have never had a pick of bother...i watched 4 fights tonight due to the taxi driver in the line telling the punter to go to the next taxi behind them as there fare wouldnt have been big enough for the driver!!!!!i also noticed them stopping asking where i was going then pulling away etc!!!now in my book even the shortist fares you gona get 5 pounds...this never used to happen and to be honest it makes me fekin sick!!!!!!the driver tonight was complaning about a 15 pound fare,and well basically i told him i wanted to kick him right of this planet and told him to pi%% off home and taxi there,to be honest im sick to death of it!!!!!!!!!!!!i have never had a english white taxi driver act this way in all the years iv been drinking there!!!This is my opinion and i rekin about a 1000 other people tonight on newcastle keyside!!!!!!!!!!!

neil tt Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 If you wait it will come, not the taxi, a revolution. I think it has come to the stage when you have to say stop, but it doesn't seem that our wonderful leader has the balls:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 When in Rome, do as the Romans In this case, if it's an Albanian taxi driver you do as in Albania (or is it the other way round? not sure any more...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Racist!! We live in a multi cultural society....!! Well we do now..... and that's part of the reason it's all turning to rat shit. I have always said that I am not racist as I do not have problems with individuals and always felt that is was the number of immigrants that was causing the problem! We are now seeing that it is individuals who are causing the problem as they are treating us like their own country.... If I moved abroad I would try my best to learn the language and embrace their way of life, if you don't like their way of life then you shouldn't fooking go there!! Over here it's just a free for all! If you think it's going to get any better then you are sadly mistaken. I'm off abroad ASAFP!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have lived and worked for long periods in several East Eu. countries over the past 15 years and can tell you that when you are there you tow the line or it gets ugly and you are soon put in your place. If you make an effort to learn the language and a bit about way of life and rules and regs it is fine. The problem you are outlining in your post is that a lot of people come here and want to do it their way. Sadly we are shmuks and have let it go too far now to do anything about it. Simply put it's too late now. NeilTT's comments about a revolution is a nice ideal but it will never happen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_controller Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 yep same thing happening round my neck of the woods, 1000's of imagrants flocking here for a better life which is usually provided by the tax payers money and yet hardly any of them bother to learn the language or have an ounce of respect for the people who got them where they are today. I've got nothing wrong with people who wish to come here and work or to learn and actually do somthing with there live's but i just can't stand the one's who've just come along for the free ride. sorry bout the rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Try taking a black cab from heathrow, if the fare is less than £20 you get the same behaviour as you described........so doubt it has much to do with the colour of the skin. This was a huge problem 2 years ago, now it has improved dramatically due to there being proper rules that are being enforced by the authorities (when they are around). Now, they do HAVE to take you to your destination, but you do have to put up with the endless grumbling, moaning and psycho driving. And btw: black cabs arent normally driven by black or asian drivers - just thought, i'd clarify that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 What you are describing are refugees or asylum seekers not immigrants They are called economic migrants, I believe. (Sort of) Edit: My sister married one His mates came over on the back of a lorry from Albania in the guise of 'refugees' from the Kosovo conflict. They are all with passports and everything now.

AndrewOW Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I think from within the EU they are called 'economic migrants', but from outside that they are either refugees/asylum seekers, etc. They are all immigrants though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 An Immigrant is a person coming into a country for residency that they were not born in? Yeah, kinda like the Americans I've just phoned American Express about my card - isn't it daft that the lady at Amex Bahrain speaks much better English than the lady at Amex UK?!

michael Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 And btw: black cabs arent normally driven by black or asian drivers - just thought, i'd clarify that Is that really the case? I wonder why that is. I hate taxi drivers but their origins / colour doesn't come into it, it's the mental prices, terrible driving and general disregard for everyone else on the road. Oh and the one round my way all have yellow headlights and constantly block roads by parking on double yellow lines, that annoys me too.

imi Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 .......1000's of imagrants flocking here for a better life which is usually provided by the tax payers money ......... Not only am I concerned about the "asylum seekers" that my tax money is funding; I am also bloody well vexed at the local indigenous population that are sucking this country dry at my expense. Basically, everyone regardless of who they are and where they come from should be pulling their weight. About time the Govt tightens up the benefit system and only allow the ones that GENUINELY require help, help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 While there is an element within the immigrant community that do not integrate... There is also a portion of blame that should be placed on us good ol' brits... If it wasn't for the fact the chav element was so bloody lazy there wouldn't be the opportunities for this immigrant workers. Lets think about about from a business point of view. 1 x English bloke who can't be bothered, is always late or 1 x Polish worker who will work for less money (due to the exchange rates, and still ends off better than he would in poland), and work a lot harder... Now I realize this is a 500000ft view of it, but I know which worker I'd prefer and it wouldn't be the lazy english bloke. Please note the reference to english and polish is purely for demonstrative purpose and is not a reflection on social/economic/racial views (Do you get me??)

bmx1lew Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 firstly i would like to say i own a color TV so i am not racist, however i indeed hate the Romanians i don't mind any other foreign immigrants as long as they work, but the fact that the Romanians come here and DO NOT get a job at all and just begg boils my piss. There was a Romanian woman begging in Newcastle who had a sign to say she was deaf, any way me and my mate was sitting enjoying our dinner's watching this wifey do her days work, I was thinking no way is she deaf so i said to me mate Dave aye, Dave watch this, so i shouted to the Romanian woman, come here i will give you a 10ner, she turn around walked straight over and started saying, give give give me money, so i gave her a ear full and she changed begging spot's for the day. I'm not racist but when a johnny foreigner is living off our taxes and then you see them begging then i do feel i can be politically incorrect towards them. and this PC bullshit, at where i work one of the desk trainers got told not to use the word black board in conversation about the day's he was at school but its ok to say white board? why should we change our way's they must me laughing at us British.

carl0s Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 It's not just the imports who rape our benefits system. You should see most of our neighbours around here. No fucker works. They're all on disability or other benefits. Although it's annoying to see people come into the country only to be put on benefits, it's just as annoying to see these scumbag white trash breed more benefit takers & social terrorists.

R Black Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Incoming Migrants, come here because its easy they can claim loads, there are Quango's set up to make sure they get there do's, help them with housing, if there here illegally, they'll probably get away with it, if caught they, they will be given numerous opportunities to escape. I know an ex immigration officer, apparently when say a pole comes over if he is nabbed he is given monies to return:p As for poles being harder working, this can be seen because its easier here to make a buck than in poland, people here dont have to work as they will seemingly be given dole money indefinately, along with no real criminal laws, a prison system run like a holiday camp, i can see that we sliding into Anarchy. Im not the hugest french fan, but they would've brought the country to a halt more than a decade ago if they got treated like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kieren1234 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Touchy subject for me, all i say is sentd the fookers back. A bit of a sterotype but most come into the country and either A) go on benefits taking tax payers money or B) Get good jobs and earn god money (nothing wrong with that) but send it all back to the country where they cam from. Not good for the UK's economy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
