bamber 128 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 We've all said it in our time but this morning I saw something I thought I'd never see the day. It was outside the Vic' Centre: a torso on a skateboard pushing himself along Parliament Street. He was quite obviously from the Middle East (or similar) and I wonder what other sights we shall all have to become accustomed to over the next few years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Ah, he's been on the telly, Panorama probably! He's a beggar and goes down to London on the train to make his fortune! He's not been in this country very long. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Romanian he is. As soon has he arrived he claimed all the benefits going including DLA/PIP or whatever it's called. He lives on Liddington Street, Basford. He did say Britain was the place to be for the benefits ! http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Skateboard-busker-lost-legs-accident-feature-TV/story-20942248-detail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OLDACE 196 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Apologies for being pedantic, but to describe this parasite as Romanian is insulting to Romanians, he is a Roma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,497 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 # 4 and # 9 OK, gambling with OUR money! When I think of all the hoops I had to jump through to get an extra £56 a week on my Dad's basic pension to cover Attendance Allowance, when he hadn't been able to get out of his house for over 2 years without our help. It's a disgrace but there are thousands more reaping the benefits like this little fella and it will get worse. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I have to say this but, I applied for a disability bus pass a year & half ago when I really struggled to cross the road without having to stop for a rest half way across. Refused on the grounds that I did not fit the criteria. Six months later I got my OAP bus pass anyway. Then I got my legs fixed. Nottm City Council or whoever makes these rules can Rollocks ! This country is to generous with OUR money for foreigners, especially when this lot come here just to bleed this country dry. I bumped into a mate in Bulwell Market this morning & he was telling me his firm has decided to pay all the staff the new "living wage" instead of the "minimum wage". All well & good until he then said that all employees have had eight hours work taken away from each one per week ! Roll on the revolution. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Three questions (1) How the hell did he get here. (2) Why the hell did they let him in when it is so obvious he came not to work but to claim benefits. (3) Does he reveal his earnings from busking to the benefits people. Pass me the bloody gun 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
