Angry ****ing thieving asylum seeker neighbours

And you wonder why I'm so p*ssed off with things eh ?

I haven't been to this forum for nearly a month now but just had to vent over this...

remember our fridge freezer that packed up ?

would've cost to much to repair so got another and then got in touch with local housing office to have it removed (free for council tenants).

was told to leave it outside my flat from 7am onwards as the caretakers start work (in pairs from 8am).

so, humped it onto the landing and went to work after first setting up a camera pointing out my kitchen window to film (out of curiousity) who walked by my flat in the day and to catch the council estate caretakers "on the job" taking it away for me.

came back at dinner it was still there so rewound the tape.

started it recording before I went to work again.

my girlfriend came round at 3pm ish and noticed while watching on the TV that the asylum seekers in the flat next to me kept coming out there flat and looking at the f/f, then sharpishly legging it back into there flat.

at 4pm, they walked right up in front of my window and tea-leafed the ****ing thing and took it into there flat


got home, couldn't believe my eyes then stormed off to the local housing office where they didn't give a ****

all they said apart from "we didn't know you wanted a f/f removing" was well, if you don't want it, let them have it....

it doesn't bloody work and I know what will happen is they will find that out themselves, then chuck it over the balcony near to the bins and I will get the blame..... **** that

some caring local housing office eh ?

I have no method of removing the f/f so was glad the caretakers said they could properly dispose of it (under new laws) re: f/freezers...

if I hadn't got the thieving asylum scrounging sc*mbags on film I would've just assumed when I got home from work the caretakers HAD removed it for me....

i'm fuming to say the least and they (the council AND the thieves next door) haven't heard the end of this by a long shot

... and before you accuse me of being so harsh and unsympathetic to my new neighbour who you all must think escaped from some war torn ravished country, well... he wears some pretty nifty looking sports gear, smokes like a chimney and has a ****ing SKY minidish just installed under our window


theft is theft - simple as that.

I hope they have got it working

maybe they will sell it to buy more smokes or pay for a couple of months Sky subscription.

Good for them I say

look on the bright side (although YOU seem INCAPABLE of that)
if your team is on SKY maybe they will tape it for you

Nice one SV

It didn't work.

You didn't want it.

Whats the problem.

Oh and the fact they are asylum seekers is irrelavant.

THIS is exactly the kind of sick posting I was referring to the other day.

Mega has not insulted any of us.

But he has written rascist remarks.

Sil/ 'slo/ gem please delete/lock this thread.

now.

thankyou.

How about an F/B W/L alliance here.

Agree the moderators should do something about this thread.

Instead of deletion could it be fully censored to remove the offending parts and notes put on what has been removed and why.

For example the current title should be changed.....

Racial intolerance unacceptable on The Scream!

It would then remain as an example of the prejudices but how we have tackled them with good humour.

PS Without the racist remarks it's almost as funny as some of Grumpyfookers views on the world.

very happy to tag on to the f/b-w/l alliance, if allowed that mega is well out of order, You not your asylum seeker friends

i have no wonder that your path through life is stormy, you reap what you sow and you sow nastiness and bitterness

fully agree thread should be locked, but would like to see it left in tact to show others what kind of person mega is

should also get at least a warning from a mod/admin IMO

If you didn't see on the tape that the neighbor took it, you would have happily gone about thinking the council removed it,, what's the big deal then? You have a nice new ff, and the old one is gone. Problem solved really.

I seems like your neighbour did you a favour - or you'd have been complaining abt the ****ing council not coming to take it away

perhaps next time you have something you don't need you should go round to your neighbours and ask if they might like it

Sil

PS, in my view this thread seems to have far less racist views expressed than others why not search the forums 3 times for

refugee*
or
asylum
or
immigrant*

and see what ppl were actually saying,. open and reasoned debate that doesn't turn into harassment or insults seems preferable to censorship to me.

btw if you want to discuss what should be censored start another thread?

as I said perhaps another thread?

there's abt 60 total threads I could find with those terms (tho some overlap obviously) some of which contain (in my view at least) far more racist views,, just deleting posts removes the ability to question the poster.. I'm not going to censor it - but that doesn't stopping someone else from doing it..

Tony - I wasn't actually replying to you directly..

fb posted the thread should be deleted because

Mega has not insulted any of us.

But he has written rascist remarks.

Sil/ 'slo/ gem please delete/lock this thread.
then w/l said

I would have said that it is more prejudice than racist.

The only possible censorship issue here is whether or not you feel that the word "sc*mbags" is suitable or not, and if you look carefully you'll see that it has been "self-moderated" to a degree anyway.

Where my daughter lives in a London block of flats it's the done thing to leave your unwanted goods by the bin so that someone can take it and leave their older one by the bin and so it goes on down the chain until the worst item is left there then the caretaker arranges for it to be disposed of.

Nobody minds.

Silv as a former victim of harassment I considered most carefully whether or not I should join the criticism of Mega.

Am I correct in thinking that even if Mega considered our points and tried to edit his post he could not at this stage alter the thread title (sometimes you can and sometimes you can't -is there a time factor set in ?)

Whether it is rascist or prejudiced Mega's title iwould be offensive to an asylum seeker who has the language ability to work out possible combinations so as fill in the missing letters indicated by " *****"

What does Mega think? Can he take our comments on board? Would he object to some moderator editing so as to share our amusement and maybe smile himself?

The thread IS racsist.

The next door neighbours are Thieves. FACT.

The fact they are asylum seekers is IRRELEVENT (sp!) ALSO A FACT.

Therefore as it is connected in the sentence.........then it is RACIST.

Thats logic.

Also if I do a search as you request Sil.........I'm sure that I'd think that ALL the threads found would contain racist comments in them too.

If so WHY are they STILL there? Bearing in mind the T&C specifically say we cannot post such stuff.

Two wrongs don't make a right.



Just becoz those other threads were allowed to continue dosen't make them ok...............and so ok to post more.

Cannot see you logic sil.

Explain please

why don't you search and read b4 you presupose what you will find, next time you see something you feel is racist you might like to argue against it rather than simply making it disappear.

I spent 1/2 hr going back over those threads b4 I posted in this one to compare it because I wanted to know whether reasoned debate is better than deletion - I still belive it is...

if you read what I said even within this thread you may see why I don't think mt post needs to be censored..

PS @ pisces - that is real re-cycling

Sil We have to thrash out what WE...........

I repeat WE think is racist.

NOT JUST what YOU think.

See my thread on Censorship.

Together I'm sure we can come up with more SPECIFIC T&C.

I won't do a search. If it comes up with comments like Megas then I will object.

We have to have less vague definitions on what we CAN post and what we CANT.

FACT.

Yes I did.

We need to thrash out NEW guidelines on what we CAN and what we cant post.

There is .................and I choose my words carefully here......

"inconsistencies" to what id modded on TS.

No not "whatever"

As a member supposed to be fair and unbiased, that is not a resonable reaction.

Please could you (and other members of admin/Mods) comment on my Censorship thread.

Thankyou

I am only trying to avoid further threads that have to be locked.

I am guilty of breaking the rules.

I accept that..

My argument is that the rules are TOO VAGUE...........and nor specific enough....so my posts as they are more

"in your face" so to speak are easier targets.

More "subtlely offensive threads (like many of W/L's ) escape the censor purely becasue.........either deliberately or in error.....the T&C have been made too vague.

THAT is not fair. FACT.

I posted in your censor thread - and you seem to be backing up what I said,.,. obviously you still have a problem with wl - the very reason you got banned twice as I recall.

Yes I am backing up what you said ...............

I agree with you.

I have broken the rules.

BUT....I do it blatently............and I offend.

I'm sorry ok.


but others....yes W/L primarily do it more subtley and because the T&C are not specific enough as what you can and cannot post as it is deemed insulting/offensive...........whatever (to pinch your phrase)...then they slip thru THEY OFFEND PEOPLE (and not just me) all the same.

Me and W/L have a history of disagreements. True.

Do I like him.

NO.

But I am not doing this because of that.

I'm doing it because I think (and I hope others do) that the censorship on TS needs to be fairer.

Maybe a lesson to be learned F/B - perhaps you need to follow my good example

Proves it is better to tease rather than confront.

You have offended several people that I know a number of times.

And you know it.

I'll take what you just said as an admission of guilt. Not that I needed one.

Maybe others do.

So how about this "discussion" on censorship.?

I've just put an old Fridge/freezer out for collection by the council, all arranged and it's free collection.

OK by me if anybody "steals" it, it will work ok in the winter but not in the summer when you most need it
