Doesn’t anyone else think that Rosies post was racist or is it just me

maryeliza54 Mon 18-Mar-19 17:22:40

Why - do they fit the profile of right wing white supremecists?

EllanVannin Mon 18-Mar-19 17:21:31

Not coming from its author it wasn't, lemongrove.

EllanVannin Mon 18-Mar-19 17:19:13

Is it alright that we also have our Dutch friend over too ?

lemongrove Mon 18-Mar-19 17:18:20

It was fairly obvious Ellan

EllanVannin Mon 18-Mar-19 17:17:36

Really, lemongrove ? Could have fooled me.

maryeliza54 Mon 18-Mar-19 17:14:40

Thanks lemon it was meant to illustrate the disgusting racism of Rosies post

A lot of Aussies work in London some on visas some are permanent residents.

lemongrove Mon 18-Mar-19 17:12:21

Ellan .....the above post by maryeliza was not a serious one.

They might even be here when their mum and dad arrive in June, who knows ?

My GS's are white male Australians-----there's nothing wrong with them. One was here last year .

Don’t forget this isn’t new ( random shootings) think of Hungerford and the shootings in the North East.
All countries have them and by all means not all linked to
Terrorism or religious/hate crime reasons.

maryeliza54 Mon 18-Mar-19 16:57:11

Absolutely right Rosie. Don’t know about you but I hope we are not letting young white male Australians into the UK any more.

maryeliza54 Mon 18-Mar-19 16:55:06

Might be worth waiting for some facts ..........

If security firms paid better wages then more people would be willing to work but when there are large volumes of people entering any country and the staff either can't cope, or are thin on the ground then what are you supposed to do ? The easiest option-----let them pass as does happen.

My D works in security, this is how I know, and risks her life at times.

EllanVannin Mon 18-Mar-19 16:15:21

Border control can't check everyone coming and going, there aren't enough staff.

It’s so scary isn’t it N&G? Where will all this madness lead?

NanaandGrampy Mon 18-Mar-19 14:05:02

The more these things happen the more I want to withdraw from a world where this has become the norm.

EllanVannin Mon 18-Mar-19 11:40:03

Yes, my daughter will be getting in touch with a friend of ours who is Dutch and travels by tram to work.
