Now this is a good post from a top poster.
Unfortunately this is the type of response from, arguably, one of the biggest wum's on here.

I see your game now. It took me a while but i finally see it. I'll sum you're style of posting in very easy steps:
Step 1 :Start race related thread
Step 2 : When most posters counter your argument or simply tell you exactly what they think of your hate filled garbage you retreat and state "you honestly didn't mean any offence"
Step 3: wait a few days and start another race related thread or make a remark that is race related.
You keep saying "chip on your shoulder" but it's clear as day you suffer from this condition as you're always the one talking about race. Always the one bringing it up on this forum. always the one being unnecessarily descriptive when describing someone "the big black guy", "Johnny foreigner" blah blah blah. Most people rather not talk about race and have a bit of enjoyment on this forum but there you are starting yet another thread (probably down to the chip on your shoulder).
You don't even have the decency to get your facts right when starting threads and continuously get things factually wrong (mobo's, big issue selling illegal etc etc).

I think you need to educate yourself mate. You're angry at a man that you admit that you and, by your own admission, everyone else seemingly walks past every day as he keeps his chin up trying to do a job for pittance?
The Big Issue was set up as a means for people down on their luck to earn money and is actually a job of sorts. It is limited to people sleeping rough or on the verge of losing their house. If you want to see more then look here: http://www.bigissue.com/how-become-vendor
There was a program a few years ago on BBC called "Skint" which followed the lives of people that needed to use pawn brokers. One guy was a bloke called Vernon. Lovely bloke who always smiled. Would do any work you gave him but unfortunately he was thick as fudge and could turn a quid into a penny in minutes. He wasn't scrounger, drunk or bum. Just pretty dumb... He also spent a lot of time trying to sell the Big Issue to people who didn't have the time for "scroungers"

I haven't got a clue about anything in general but you have:lol::lol:
Yeh i agree with that. From now on we ignore each other and no sly remarks (you did it before and i instigated it this time). When you start another race related thread (which you will very soon i'm sure) i will comment though if it's the usual repetitive stuff.

wait so the older posters won't take offence to that now?
Firuta Vasile, 27, was told by Bristol City Council that she was not entitled to housing benefit as European nationals are only entitled to claim it if they are in work.
The mother-of-four took the council to court, arguing that selling the magazine for the homeless is a form of self–employment.
The judge's ruling means EU nationals selling the Big Issue across the UK are now entitled to claim housing benefit.
Ms Vasile, who has four children, one of whom is severely disabled, says the benefit will help her pay her rent and look after her family.
Speaking through an interpreter, she said: "I came to the UK in 2007 to look for work. The only work I could find was selling the Big Issue on the streets of Bristol. I can keep half of the money I take and I usually make around ?ú100 per week.

"This isn't enough to meet all my family's needs so I asked the council for housing benefit to help with my rent. My claim was turned down.
"I was told that because I am Romanian I could not get benefits unless I have a job or I am in self-employment. They said work for the Big Issue didn't count.
"I got legal support and was helped with an appeal. My adviser got lots of evidence that selling the Big Issue really is self-employment. We won the appeal at a local tribunal last year but the council appealed.
"The case was taken to the upper tribunal last week and we won. I am really pleased if this decision means that people from countries like Romania and Bulgaria who come to the UK to work hard are not treated unfairly."
Her case was taken up by welfare benefits adviser Andy King, of Stokes Croft-based Avon and Bristol Law Centre.
He said: "The judge ruled that working as a Big Issue vendor is self employment and European Union nationals can claim benefits as long as they work enough hours and sell enough Big Issues.
"This is a great victory for people struggling to work to support their families. If people are willing and able to work, we need to encourage them to do so.
"Anyone who thinks selling the Big Issue on a British street in winter is a soft option should have a go themselves".
Stephen Robertson, chief executive of the Big Issue Foundation, said: "Big Issue vendors use their own money to buy their magazines and sell them at their own profit or loss.
"It is by no means an easy task. I am pleased that this ruling represents an important acceptance of the challenges and the opportunities that the magazine mechanism represents for people regardless of where they come from."

Wookie don't put words in my mouth. It's an isolated case. In keeping with the thread hence why I put it in here.

Ah, but the bloke standing out front of your Tesco's is an isolated case but still you've already decided you'd like to knock the **** out. You're not coming from a very good starting point. As Steff said, you should probably say hello to the bloke. He stands in the tinkling rain all day, I'll guarantee he'd be happy to say hello instead of getting sneered at.
I'm sure he would. Look, ppl say what they feel and you say I should say hello and that's a fair point. What's wrong with getting the hump when you look at your pay packet and seeing your being taxed:
?ú684 Dec
?ú656 Jan
?ú677 Feb
That's what I've paid in the past 3 months in tax. Are ppl really saying I shouldn't get the hump when you read stories and see things on the news in regards to benefit cheats etc...ppl paying a hell of a lot into the system, like me, are entitled to be tinkled off with the state of affairs in my opinion mate.
Yeah yeah fair enough.

I'm not in the Caribbean, I'm in the North Atlantic on an Island that is a British sovereign dependancy
I'm here for work, because Britain is so full of foreigners earning money in the sector that I work in, its almost impossible to get a job.
Additionally, having spent 20 years working for my government and my country, and 33 years as a taxpayer I don't think I have given up the right to hold an opinion on the direction the country has taken.

And you don't think Brits do that in other countries? Perth is full of Brits working the mines for the quick buck at the expense of locals. It happens all over the world.
