Water bowsers "vandalism"

[Cmitchell]

I can't believe what I've just seen on the news about the "vandalism" to the water Bowsers!

The news mentioned they were empty and then being vandalised by being turned on their sides.

Obviously the local people have turned them on their sides because they are empty, i.e. to signal to the relevant authorities that they they need refilling!

How can the news reporters not understand this?!!! Durrrrr!!!!!!!

On the news last night, I saw them handing out 2 free packs of bottled water per family.

The news reporter spotted an Asian looking person (I won't call him a gentleman) wheeling away a supermarket trolley loaded high with the packs of water. When the reporter challenged this person and told him that he was only allowed 2 packs per family he pretended not to understand, but when the reporter became insistant, he turned aside and started to load the packs into his large 4x4.

I wonder if he was planning to sell this water at a vast profit from his corner shop?

I think the Police should have been out in force to prevent practices such as this, and to prevent looting etc. But as always there was not one in sight.

Young women had been rinsing their dirty mops in the bowsers making the water unsafe to drink.

Teenagers had been turning the taps on in the night for a prank.

People are either particularly stupid or just plain nasty.

It would be you of course who needs to point out the likely racial origin of someone taking an excess/ looting for gain. Why, what are you trying to acheive. Would you if the man had been white, pointed this out? I think not as the racial origin as well as the gender seems pretty irrelevant unless you were trying to describe him to somone.

Would you if the man had been white, pointed this out?

What a ridiculous question. Really, ruby, what did they teach you in school? Everybody knows that white people just don't committ crime (I mean, they're white! They just won't!)

I'm very dissapointed in you.

[Le Chat]

I think AOG wanted to tie up the bloke being Asian with the fact that he may have a corner shop. A lot of supposition there and we'll never know if he was taking them for his shop unless we see him on TV selling the water.

I hang my head in shame. After all I was educated at a time prior to the country going to the dogs, and all the taxes being spent on illegal immigrants! I had free milk.

[NJOK]

Even by your standards, AOG, this is a belter.

I'm glad that we're past the stage with you where we had to pussy-foot around using the 'R' word, because you've kindly dropped the pretence and are a proud, overt racist. So we at least now all know where we are.

I love the fact you can spin any news item and turn it into a race issue. Literally any. You're like the Alistair Campbell of the KKK.

Just for my amusement, I'd be really grateful if you could do your angry schtick and tease out the racial angle to these news stories. Come on, big guy, do it for me. Please.

By the way, I love the word 'bowsers'.

[anotheoldgit]

Oh no we must not criticise anyone who happens not to be white, or all the leffties come out with their time honoured cry of Racist, expecting to rain shame and condemnation down on us.

Criicise the Queen, the Church, being English anything but colour and that's ok. I tell it like it is and it is a sad fact that some of the various immigrants we have let into this country don't always follow our set of rules. I mean I know that standards have dropped quite a little in this country by the indigenous population, but for example I don't think we would shoot anyone in the head for telling us to put out a fag. Or I don't think we would rape, murder, stuff into a suitcase and bury a female member of the family for picking the wrong partner.

And if some of you ABers can see a little more than colour all the time, they will know that it is not only people of a different colour or a diiferent nationality that I will take on board.

ruby27 I did not say he had been looting. And yes I was trying to describe him, because I wondered if anyone else had spotted him. I could not help it because he happened to have an Asian appearence or the fact that he was male. I know that our Police have a little problem making a full description of a suspect if they happen to be Black or Asian, but this is because of the silly PC brigade.

[NJOK]

That's what I call desperate back-tracking, AOG.

Did you not find any race issues of note in the three stories I listed?

Why should I research these 3 news headlines to amuse you NJOK? don't you know how to post links?

[NJOK]

You're absolutely right, AOG. Why should you?

These pesky non-racists asking you to justify your opinion. It's just not right is it? You didn't fight in the war just so that... etc etc...

AOG, I apologise. I should never have asked you to do your own research. Facts can get in the way can't they?

Maybe this made-up one will help?

[anotheoldgit]

I also thought the previous 3 were also made up since you still have not included the links NJOK.

But go on I will humour you

'Non-whites transmit AIDS says expert.' Yes this is true.

' Whites can also transmit AIDS says AOG ' Yes this is also true.
