I can’t stand MuhajiGoons, but I support their right to peaceful protest. This is disgraceful.

Something went wrong with my last post. It should read:

“the mob (albeit a fairly small one, which made me wonder who organised it) seemed to be baying for blood and required the police to restrain them. ” The fact that the counter-demonstration was “fairly small”, had no banners and built up over time suggests that it wasn’t organised. Given the attention given to the Mujies in Luton lately, all it would take would be someone with a mobile phone to get a flash-mob together pretty quickly.

I wonder how they get all the benefits they’re alleged to be getting, because I’ve been out of a job since the autumn and they’re only offering me the usual £60 jobseekers’ allowance. Do you just have to stand around and shout and hold stupid press conferences, or do you have to be in the pay of someone’s intelligence services? (I wonder if Anjum gets paid for his interviews, whether officially or out of the presenters’ expenses.)

You’d have to produce evidence for both depression and the children, though. If I.J. has savings above a certain amount he will not receive further benefit until he has used them down to that amount to support himself. After that the job-seeker’s allowance will be in addition to rent or mortgage support and help with council tax and other benefits. Still not luxurious, I agree, but not quite as bad as the bald figures make it seem. Either save so much you’ll never need to depend on the state or don’t bother. If a claimant were registered as disabled- which they probably would be with depression or other long-term illnesses- they would probably receive a Freedom Pass, giving free travel in London and on local buses anywhere in the U.K. or its local equivalent, or help with getting a car and privileges in using it. Someone offered to pay me to register their car as mine so they could use those benefits. I dislike motorists and motor cars and turned it down so I don’t know how easy that particular fiddle would be to operate but people certainly think it is a feasible scheme. I help with an organisation for benefit claimants and people with depression are among the ones who suffer most from nit claiming their entitlements- a common symptom of depression is a sort of psychological inertia which makes them less likely to receive the benefits they should. People who lose benefits temporarily don’t bother to make a fuss and so lose them for good or don’t claim them at all.

Simple. Claim sick benefit due to depression. Not only does that increase your weekly allowance, you also get other benefits and discounts. Claim to have several children with special needs. That’s more money.

A bit rich coming from somebody who believed that parents should engage in paid employment rather than home educate their children whilst claiming benefits. At least the home educating parents on income support actually save the taxpayer money!

Salaam Alaikum,

I am in no way condoning such behaviour, just pointing out the tactics some people use to increase their benefits.

Old Pickler, should British communists during the Cold War have been deported to the Soviet Union?

Actually, the reason people don’t use “black/brown trash” is because those terms imply that someone is trash because they’re black or brown, as with “black bastard”, while “white trash”, commonly used by both whites and blacks in some places, doesn’t.

@Frank,

In the US, the term “white trash” was invented by Northerners against Southerners aka rednecks. It is generally used against uncultured, uneducated, ignorant whites like the fools who get their schooling from the Daily Mail. As for “brown trash” I believe you guys in the UK already have a term like that called “paki.”

Old Pickler, should British communists during the Cold War have been deported to the Soviet Union?

They should have been punished as traitors. In the case of the Al Muj bunch, just cut their benefits off. Since they are incapable of living except by leeching off the kafir, they will be forced to go elsewhere and good riddance.

@Frank:

Whether it would be “career suicide” would depend on how valuable you are, or whether they can’t get rid of you anyway (e.g. Prince Harry, who won’t stop being a prince just because he wears a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party - assuming he was born on the right side of the blanket, that is). As we all know, Jade Goody came back from the “dead” after the Shilpa Shetty affair and Carol Thatcher already had other programmes made at the time of the “golliwog Frog” incident a few months back.

You could get arrested for racial abuse in the UK, and if a bunch of black or Asian men beat up a white man and call him “white trash”, it would be classed as a racially aggravated assault.
