He replies in a non committal way. The telegraph uses that to say there is disquiet in the town. The Express uses the same quotes to run a story saying there is fury in the town. Today - everyone from across the political spectrum - the town, district and county council, the local conservative m.p. the local paper and arts organisations (The Plough has contacted the place where the kids are staying to say they can arrange free screening of films) have come together to say that we are sympathetic and will do our bit. We spoke to journalists from the Mail and Telegraph who agreed that there wasn’t a story and that they are aware of the strength of feeling around the town about giving it a bad name by making us sound unwelcoming.<br />The Sun then runs a story to say the town is in uproar - using nothing more than the information they have gathered from the original story."Mattynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-60990633825931000232016-10-24T20:55:12.039+01:002016-10-24T20:55:12.039+01:00Imagine these arseholes in the 1970s attacking the...Imagine these arseholes in the 1970s attacking the BBC for having presenters and entertainers who speak with Irish accents. How dare our public-funded broadcaster employ the likes of Terry Wogan and Dave Allen? The Bum says: Sling your shillelagh and craich off. <br />Or. <br />Back to back to the 15th century when Thomas Caxton engaged the services of Flemish typesetters? The Crud says: Destroyers of quill-pushers jobs.

Find or invent an example of an official process being circumvented, e.g. suggest that child migrants are not children, or that benefit claimants are living the life of Reilly on taxpayer's money. Do not worry if you have no actual evidence of this, a photo of any swarthy foreign looking miscreant will be evidence enough, or a "suggestion" from someone official-sounding.<br /><br />2. Make sure you talk about this abuse of the system <i>all the time</i>. Never mention the 99.9% of occasions when the system works perfectly.<br /><br />3. Should anyone have the temerity to suggest you are mistaken, consult the following table for how to respond:<br /> A) Are they rich? Deride them as champagne socialists and/or bleeding heart luvvies<br /> B) Are they a so-called "expert"? Deride them for living in their ivory towers and being out-of-touch with ordinary working folk<br /> C) Are they poor? Deride them for being brain-washed by the Liberal Elite, or just ignore them. They're poor, it's not like they can do anything<br /><br />4. Make sure to share the story with all your chums at other newspapers, and volunteer for talking-head spots on broadcast media. That way your insinuations will be given legitimacy by the constant repetition and multiple sources<br /><br />Congratulations, you have now widely disseminated mistrust and can paint your bigotry as "representing people's legitimate concerns". If you're really lucky, you have so damaged public trust in the system that it will soon be dismantled.Rivohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862803953863889027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-78397622566968321672016-10-24T16:16:10.346+01:002016-10-24T16:16:10.346+01:00Kavanagh,(or Caomhánach in the original Gaelic).

Wonder if he's included himself in the 4 million 'newcomers legal or illegal'.<br /> Always wondered how this bastard has got away with it for so long. Assumed it was because he looked like an 80s poly lecturer rather than the usual bloated pisshead wide boy.will.i.am haguenoreply@blogger.com
