oldskoolsi Posted 26 April, 2014 Share Posted 26 April, 2014 Chavs? You mean working class people? How dare they Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Isn't it classist to assume all people in Thornhill, Lordshill, Millbrook and Swaythling are working class. Can't there be middle class chavs in those areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 26 April, 2014 Share Posted 26 April, 2014 No, because chav is a slur on the working class Anyway...Southampton Football Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Without a Halo Posted 26 April, 2014 Share Posted 26 April, 2014 (edited) What is wrong with Poles anyway good hard working people Edited 26 April, 2014 by Saint Without a Halo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted 27 April, 2014 Share Posted 27 April, 2014 What is wrong with Poles anyway good hard working people I have nothing against the Polish but to classify them as all hard working is a little bit racist. I think you will find that access to welfare reduces the work ethic of all nationalities. The first generation of almost all immigrants come from countries where life is tougher and you have to work harder to live at any sort of decent standard. In other words, the integrated children of immigrants will be just like the children of native British when it comes to working hard or going on welfare. I say this first hand as a person born of immigrants growing up in the 1960s and 1970s where my classmates were largely Polish, Italian and Irish.

alpine_saint Posted 28 April, 2014 Share Posted 28 April, 2014 As someone born and "bread" (copyright DullDays) in Swaything, I reserve the right to call those areas as I see them. I like Poles and feel they have made a positive contribution to British life in one way or another, going all the way back to the Battle of Britain.

True although some nations do appear to have harder work ethics than others. Often commented on the difference between Pakistanis and Indians in approach to work with the former being perceived as the lazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THINWHITEDUKE Posted 28 April, 2014 Share Posted 28 April, 2014 10% hardly constitutes full.... And as the Daily Mail article points out, they make a darned sight bigger contribution to the city economy than chavs in areas like Thornhill, Lordshill, Millbrook and Swaythling. Coming from someone who no longer resides in, or contributes to the city economy that's rich!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, dont get your point at all (if there is one). Just because I dont live in the city any more, does not make what I have written automatically wrong.

LVSaint Posted 28 April, 2014 Share Posted 28 April, 2014 I emailed to ask where they got their story , received this reply quoting tsf! Dear Mr Simpson I have now spoken to the reporter and made some further enquiries and I would like to draw your attention to the following post on the Saints Web fan forum. The reporter also spoke to Southampton fans who confirmed what she wrote in the article:- From the Saints Web As I was walking back to Wigan North Western from the game last night, had to travel over the canal footbridge. Some Wigan monkeys giving it large on the other side of the bridge, shouting "you're just a town full of Polish". Earlier in the day, we shared a table with a Saints fan and his wife that had moved from Shirley into the Waterside 'burbs. He cited the transformation of Shirley to meet its new international needs as a major factor ( he didn't say that exactly ). It occurs to me that Southampton, with its very high ratio of newcomers to original denizens, might be a uniquely qualified city to speak on the effects of rapid inward EU migration. Best wishes Philippa Kennedy Sun Ombudsman Philippa using a lot of big words there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
