The Return of Fuel Protests

As for Uni education, it is not you subsidising me, but rather you investing in me ...

Whichever way you put it, you are currently in receipt of services paid for by the taxpayer. Many of whom might not want to help you, just like you don't want to help them. Perhaps some of the people in receipt of benefits will one day return to work and pay back more in taxes?

In ryptworld, you'd do what, let them die in the street?

as I'm bound to pay it back (and then some)

Provided you can find an interview panel full of people like you ;)
 
Until Uni my education was all private, so there was no subsidy there.

Explains the whole benefits thing, you've come from money and don't know hardship, try living in the shoes of the average British citizen and see if you still hold the same views as you currently do.

Hardly investing really degrees are worth sweet FA now. Friend of mine has a 2.1 in law, top of his class, and he is being told by law firms that he isn't qualified enough and that includes local firms.

For once I agree with Fox, it's not just your qualifications that get you a job. If you turned up to an interview with your attitude they would very quickly tell you to Foxtrot Oscar.

Some yes, but few of the longer term ones ever really do.

And this is before you start on all the nonsense of tax credits

I have hardly come from money.

Again you don't know me, my life, or my family ... and I'm not about to post stuff that I have posted in the past on OcUK, if you want more info go find one of my 10k posts where I explained things in the past.

Be that as it may to have been privately educated there must have been money from somewhere.

Just been looking through past threads started by you and found this beauty

Was just channel surfing and had Road Wars on Sky3 (I think) on, and it had two 13 year olds who stole a scooter and were tearing around the housing estates and then off-road on it.

The police decided that they didn't want to put the kids into any sort of danger so didn't use patrol units to stop them but instead followed them in their chopper.

The police chopper happily watched as the two kids took the scooter into a field by a river, and then proceeded to dump it INTO the river.

Only once the kids were off the scooter did the police move in and arrest them.



Guess what punishment the kids got from the courts?
A fine of £200 ....



I'M SORRY BUT, what the heck are the police playing at happily allowing the kids to ride around on stolen property and then just sitting by as they dump it in a river thus totalling it.
I hope the owner (and his insurance company) went after the police to recover the costs of the scooter since the police failed to act to recover it (and in fact happily sat back until it was destroyed).

And what the heck are the CPS and judiciary doing only giving a £200 fine?

Think you really do need to get this chip off your shoulder and realise that your fantasy world is nothing like the real world.
 
I thought Luxembourg had the cheapest fuel prices in Western Europe?

Current prices for petrol/gas in Luxembourg (provided by the Luxembourg Automobile Club):
(last update 19 April 2011)

SuperPlus (98 octane): 1.367 Euro / litre

Euro Super (95 octane): 1.344 Euro / litre

Diesel: 1.194 Euro / litre
 
SilverTongue, for one I had a scholarships (and before you say, that is someone subsidising you ... it is a choice for them to do that, I am forced to pay taxes to help others who I do not think deserve help often). I'm not going to go into my private life history though.

My view is that criminals lose some of their rights the second they chose to commit a crime.
If police tell some scrotes who stole a bike to "stop" ... and they fail to stop, then pitting the bike is perfectly fine. The scrotes are warned that they must stop of they will be taken out, they CHOSE to not stop KNOWING the consequences.

No rights for you next time you go out in your Toyota and drive like a prat then - you'd support the police smashing you off the road?

Oh I forget, you are so amazing at driving - like everything else - that you'd simply outrun them!

If police tell me to stop and I fail to do so ... then they are welcome to stop me by force.
 
Any chance this thread could go back to topic of fuel protests rather than yet another thread about how rypt knows better than everyone else, that we should get rid of the public sector and how anything that doesn't directly benefit rypt himself is a waste of time and money?

It does get boring reading these delusions after a while, when they've ousted what could have been a perfectly sensible thread.
 
Common sense does

You don't forcibly stop someone without first giving them the choice to stop
You don't shoot someone without first giving them the choice to stop/put down their weapon

And so on.
 
Or instead people should perhaps expand their knowledge so that they don't need to come running to me each time they have to deal with a problem that affects Linux or Mac (and I never even used Mac until getting this job) as their only experience before was with Windows until the workplace started to support Linux/Mac.


It's not my fault that I learn things quickly and have an inherent understanding of them while others fail miserably at it despite being in a job longer than me.

I'm hardly a know-it-all, I know my limits of knowledge ...

computers, faults, problems e.t.c are EASY, there are thousands of people on this very forum that can do anything with a computer. for those people that know nothing about them, its not their fault and they likely have no interest, they may be better at cooking or maths and if they had an ego like yours they secretly laugh inside right back at you.

and I certainly know a damn sight more than whoever is running this country, given the mess that has been the last 13 years.

rofl... ahaha

seriously fk off :rolleyes:

You know I can't be bothered taking this any further, you seem to know it all, good luck when the real world smacks you round the face, you're going to need it

No, I have an opinion and a view on those things .. and I certainly know a damn sight more than whoever is running this country, given the mess that has been the last 13 years.

I missed this beauty...

It hasn't been for the last 13 years by the way, only since 2008/9 (somebody please correct me if the years are out), when labour first got into power they dragged the country OUT (thats right OUT) of a recession and we had a time of fantastic growth, so I would go back and look at the economy from when we were born.

Also if you don't like the way the country is being run why don't you stand in next years local elections and try to bring in all of your perfect policies.

If their job is to work with computers they should know how to work with computers, and not only know how to work with a very limited scope of computing and be utterly hopeless at learning how to do something as simple as mounting an iso in Linux via the command line after I've shown it to them 100 times and even printed out some basic info about how to do it (directories/locations change depending on system/linux version)
