Lt Kije Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 So when are you going on strike, in support of British workers Here's me thinking you were all for protectionism, now might be a good idea to take your blinkers off As I said I'll bring the flask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 No need for pickets - just start voting for anti-EU political Parties - and watch the main Parties do a policy flip flop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Of cause there is a need for pickets, Asperity should be on strike in support of his fellow British workers we can not have jonney foreigner doing a job a British worker can do, Oh hang on a minute, Asperity is jonney foreigner on his ship, he is the one that should be giving his job up for someone of the nationality of where the ship is registered, Well knowing his views on this he should be home any minute, There's nothing like putting your mouth where your views are. Isn't protectionism a wonderful thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't protectionism a wonderful thing Obviously you haven't the faintest idea what my views are!!! I have been at sea since 1967 and have always sailed with people from a multitude of different countries and cultures because that is the nature of the MN. It is truly multinational. There have been occasions where unscrupulous shipowners have turfed home crews off their ships and replaced them wholesale with cheaper foreigners, but this hasn't been a British phenomenum. And slowly but surely everybody is being brought up to the same level. In fact some "third world" seafarers are in such demand that they can command better rates of pay than British seafarers could even dream of. Anyway Lt Kije I suggest you stop making assumptions that don't hold water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Back to topic. My parents have got 9 inches of snow. They are in their mid nineties, and have done a risk assessment and decided not to go out. They have heating, food, milk and the necessary alcoholic medicine that my Father prescribes for himself.
