one part of (member.ahem.cough.cough.) the clique says it and without seeing it himself, the man who feels adding to his autobiography online whilst discussing roma criminals, happily and without hesitation and no evidence just accepts it.how very strange and contradictory but then again, is it really going by standards of hypocrisy on here. |

lino, are you seriously saying that 'ross kemp on gangs' is a serious contribution to a debate about the effect of the Slovakian Roma in Govanhill?
You rejected the guardian review of macmafia simply because it was in the Guardian, yet Dave is supposed to show sort of credence to the suggestion that 'ross kemp on gangs' is evidence?
Interesting that you ow claim to have met 'jamesie'  |

Life is short. It's impossible for anybody to do EVERYTHING. Because it's impossible for anybody to do everything, every single one of us has to make decisions on our own priorities. Every one of us decides what we want to spend our time on, and what we don't want to spend our time on. Jamesieboy, who, in my opinion, has repeatedly shown himself to be an un-reliable reporter (to take just one example out of many, look at how inaccurately he portrayed Misha Glenny) reccomended watching Ross Kemp. Now, I know a bit about Ross Kemp. I know he played a thug in Eastenders. I know he married the editor of the New Of The World, who later became the editor of the Sun. He was quite literally in bed with some of the most sensationalised and inaccurate reporting on the planet. None of which inspires confidence in me that he would make a reliable reporter himself. It's true they had their differences (she was arrested for beating him up) but nevertheless my inclination was not to spend an hour of what remains of my life watching Ross Kemp. Rinty, who has proved himself to be a considerably more accurate reporter most of the time, said the programme | Quote: | | cannot be treated in any way as proper documentary evidence | so, unless anybody else whose judgement I trust has also seen the programme, and thinks differently, I'm quite prepared to accept Rinty's word for this. | the-pathetic-piece-of-floor-covering wrote: | | standards of hypocrisy on here. | Yes, there are some examples of hypocrisy on here. For instance, when Jamesieboy, who is obsessively secretive about his own identity, declared his intention to identify Holebender so he could punch him on the nose, I would say that combination of hiding and threats of violence constitutes hypocrisy.
Oh, I notice Rinty says it's interesting that "linoleum" now claims to have met Jamesie. If I remember correctly, Jamesie had previously claimed not to know Linoleum. Interesting, yes. |

I still don't know Linoleum but it's possible he knows me.
Once, I featured on Tam Cowan's late night programme just before a Scotland v Holland game in competition with a big fat guy blowing up a rubber doll.
The big fat guy won. |

Ross Kemp has, for some time, been trying to ditch his Eastender/Soap
image by being more adventurous.
His on dangerous gangs has taken him to some seriously dangerous places meeting some seriously nasty characters: the Salvatruchas in El Salvador; the Crips and Bloods in Los Angeles and St Louis; the horrendous gangs in the Cape Town townships and extreme thugs like John Mongrel; the drug gangs in the favelas of Rio and Belize to mention a few.
And he's done two series of programmes on the frontline in Afghanistan where the bullets were definitely not false.
He has gone where very few journalists, let alone any normal, cowardly individual will venture.
In other words he makes serious programmes in serious places about very serious people and your flippant remarks, Dave, about who he shagged, who he played in a previous life once again weakens your case. |

Were you competing against the rubber doll as "jamsieboy" and are you the only person to use that moniker? Do you even use it in real life? If not, how could trollinoleum know he'd met you and not some other jamsieboy? How would he know it was you unless you exchanged some information which would confirm your identity to him? Somebody's lying. _________________ "My instinct is to agree with your opinion of his verse, but I've never so much as glanced at it." - agentmancuso |

the guardian is a disgrace of a newspaper, a rag and reprehensible at times with it's views and reporting.ross kemp on gangs is tabloid at best but at least entertaining.
the point i'm making is the criticism aimed at me and jamsey about accepting things as credible without seeing/reading for myself. autobigraphical dave without seeing/watching gleefully accpeted your views as credible. rank hypocrisy.rank full stop.but i'm sure it will give him an excuse to construct 5 paragraphs telling us about his early years working 27 hours per day in the pits for a thrupence ha'penny. |

"the guardian is a disgrace of a newspaper, a rag and reprehensible at times"
can you eloboate on that? I dont read the guardian, but the only contribution in this debate from the guardian was a book review. Do you have any reason to reject their book reviews?
Personally I see it too 'english' for me, and prefer to buy a scottish paper for football and politics news more relevant to me. |

In the very first post under this subject heading, | jamesieboy wrote: | | A few years ago, a large number of Roma gypsies, origin Slovakia, arrived en-masse in the south side of Glasgow. Over the coming months they were joined by more of their compatriots, who took advantage of the UK's lax immigration laws and Slovakia's new status as a European Union country, as well as picking up generous social security benefits without contributing anything. | and later in that same post, | jamesieboy wrote: | | It is not PC to single out one particular ethnic group | and there we have Jamesie's entire agenda stated. He wants to moan about sponging immigrants, and he wants to be able to blame particular ethnic groups, but what he does NOT want to do is put forward any constructive suggestions. We are on the tenth page of this discussion, and the person who started it in the first place STILL hasn't made a single suggestion for what should be DONE. | jamesieboy wrote: | | The world is full of nasty people | The world is full of people. People have the capacity to be nasty. There is nothing new about this. There is nothing "news" about this. From the start, you have been seeking to present yourself as if you are bringing "news" to folk who are in some way detached from the world. That whole stance is fake. It was Rinty, not you, who pointed out the reasons for the rise in Eastern European crime. The thing is, what are you suggesting should be DONE? Coming back to your very first post, what are you suggesting should be done for Govanhill? What are your specific, detailed, proposals? |

| linoleum wrote: | | autobigraphical dave | Here is some autobiographical stuff about folk here, all of it taken from things which they have said about themselves here on this forum.
This Our Scotland forum was started by Azzurri, who remains one of the moderators of the forum he started. The poster called "Aventinian" is a member of the Conservative and Unionist Party. The poster "Corby Boy".....comes from Corby, and is not all that old!
Criticising the sectarianism of Catholic schools, | agentmancuso wrote: | | why have I been asked to obtain approval from the local bishop when applying for jobs teaching Modern Languages? | so, Agentmancuso is a language teacher, he is not a Catholic, and he teaches at secondary school level (Modern Languages is mostly a secondary, rather than primary, subject). | jamesieboy wrote: | | I featured on Tam Cowan's late night programme just before a Scotland v Holland game | Jamesie is also a teacher, and he is a keen tartan army follower of the Scotland international football team, and a recording of that programme could be obtained if anybody was really interested. | Rinty wrote: | | I am Jim Monaghan. | (known to have been a member of the SSP, now a fairly prominent member of Solidarity, and at least occasionally acting in a press publicity capacity for that party) | Rinty wrote: | | I couldnt take part in some of the debates that I do take part in online without 'declaring' As I am part of a political party and sometimes directly responsible for the stories being discussed, I think it would be a bit like cheating. | Holebender has several times indicated on here his familiarity with the oil industry, and | Holebender wrote: | | I work and have worked in Africa for many years now so I have some first hand experience of that continent. | It is NORMAL to mention things from your own experience which you consider relevant to what is being discussed. That is what people do in everyday conversation, that is what people do in real, live, face-to-face discussions every day. It's the obsessive secrecy which you can find on many internet discussion forums that is the ABnormal thing. I understand the reasons for this abnormality very well, but, despite the occasional problems caused for myself, I choose not to be a part of it. I am more open about things than some other folk, but it is open-ness which is normal and healthy, and it is secrecy which is abnormal and unhealthy. |

"It is NORMAL to mention things from your own experience which you consider relevant to what is being discussed. That is what people do in everyday conversation, that is what people do in real, live, face-to-face discussions every day".
this is what aurobiographical dave said, that is what jamseyboy and i did when discussing govanhell, yet our expiriences are dismissed out of hand as racist and are regarded as work of the bnp.
criticism was aired about people accepting opionion/facts without verification or clarificatuon yet autobiographical dave quickly and without evidence accpeted runty's take on ross kemp.
RANK HYPOCRISY folks.
and all this giving details of who posters are, you protest to much, it just adds credence to the opinion that at least a couple of posters on here (from the clique) are the same person.
i was asked about the gurdian, heres an example of their tabloid tactics and why i regard it as any other mainstream tabloid rag with it's own agenda.
recently a passport forger, convicted criminal, former heroin addict and chap who threatened british people with bombings was returned to the uk from camp gitmo in cuba.
the guardian in reporting this story in a 3 page spread ignored completely his previous convictions and threats and went on at great length about about his poor physical condition and treatment by the usa. they cheerfully also neglected to mention this baffoon was on hunger strike.
i don't want this to turn into a debate about this hoodlum but i'm pointing out how the guardian is no better or worse in reporting or it's views than the tabloid and egenda driven rags like the daily mail or the daily star.
no, i did'nt buy it, i read it whilst waiting for a mate in all bar one in glasgow. |

At 7pm on Tuesday the 7th of April,to which I responded | Quote: | Right.
Linoleum is a self-confessed liar.
I'll keep that in mind. | Later, in a further indication of linoleum's lack of credibility, | linoleum wrote: | | as for jamsie, he exists, i met him | Yet Jamesie denies ever having met linoleum. As | Holebender wrote: | | Somebody's lying. |
| linoleum wrote: | | at least a couple of posters on here (from the clique) are the same person | You are a self-confessed liar who has made claims which jamesieboy states to be untrue. If somebody whose credibility is open to question says they think somebody else is lying, all that means is that they think everybody else is like themselves. Your opinion counts for nothing.
The credibility of witnesses is important. Linoleum has zero credibility. By contrast, Rinty has repeatedly, over a long period of time, shown himself to be a credible witness. Not somebody whose OPINIONS I or anybody else on this forum will always agree with, you understand, but somebody who has shown an ability to report things accurately.
The proven liar | linoleum wrote: | | autobiographical dave quickly and without evidence accpeted runty's take on ross kemp. | Wrong.
The evidence was Rinty having watched the programme and having reported on it.
A credible witness said the Ross Kemp programme | Quote: | | cannot be treated in any way as proper documentary evidence | and | I wrote: | | UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE WHOSE JUDGEMENT I TRUST HAS ALSO SEEN THE PROGRAMME, AND THINKS DIFFERENTLY, I SEE NO REASON FOR ME TO WASTE ANY OF THE VALUABLE TIME REMAINING TO ME WATCHING ROSS KEMP. | No other credible witness has come forward with contrary evidence, therefore I choose not to waste my time watching Kemp. |

So that's it then. Ross Kemp and his documentaries are not credible because Rinty and Dave SAY so.
On what basis can they make this instant judgement? Maybe he got folk to pose as Roma and make the statements they did. Because their comments were a terrible indictment of the Roma community throughout Europe.
They were saying that Roma gangs are very well organised and engage in criminal activity around Europe. How can you deny this. If it was a court this would be admissable as corroborating evidence.
Why keep denying to suit your sad, mistaken political ideology?
That's the thing which most people would find rather odd about this site -
the way the individuals in the PC clique claim that their way and their opinions are law. They are authoritative and anyone who has the guts to raise the issue of ethnic crime is branded a racist and a BNP sympathiser.
I find that both pathetic and puerile. I have no sympathies with the BNP and anyone who knows me will testify that. This is purely a divertionary tactic used by those who are now losing the argument.
And I will continue to inform and expose this, and any other sort of crime.
I think the Left have always had a problem with the subject of crime and criminals. Their analysis is simplistic and naive. They think it is purely a problem of poverty, as if being 'poor' is an excuse for you to engage in criminal behaviour.
Eastern European crime is a huge problem in this country and those who deal in their work with this, as well as those communities who are affected by it will testify to this. |

Could it possibly be because he's an actor and not a journalist? He has no journalistic credentials or experience therefore his reportage is suspect. _________________ "My instinct is to agree with your opinion of his verse, but I've never so much as glanced at it." - agentmancuso |
