Official I'm a Celebrity thread

Can you explain how saying that you do not want one nationality (or religion) living next door to you isn't discriminating on race (or religion)?
I can’t explain to people like you it’s pretty dam obvious so I won’t bother wasting my time.
Far too many people in this country labeled with this racist shite just for wanting stronger border controls and stopping the boats it’s complete and utter bollocks.
 
Absolute Bollocks and you know it.

Would you want to live next door to a bunch of drug users or gangsters/criminals?

Are you a racist for saying no?

No you wouldn’t FFS get real.
Ok, then the correct thing to say is that I would not want to live next door to a bunch of criminals. Because not everybody from a country behaves in the same way.

'people like me'
I have had Eastern European neighbours btw and they were great people.
 
'not a racist'

We've covered that, but again. He said if a group of Romanian men moved in next door, you'd be concerned.

Anyone would be.

Shows the desperation of those who dislike him to attack anything.

So Bob and Margaret move out and a group of 10 Eastern European or any lads moved in next door to you and you'd have no concerns at all? If you say no you're lying.
 
17m+ people voted to leave the EU, that isn't the majority of people in the country, turnout was 72%. Since then, we've had 7 years where some of the older generations who voted for Brexit will have unfortunately passed on (I have personal experience of this from my own family) and more younger people who trended towards remain have joined the electorate. Opinion polls today they suggest the majority of the population consider Brexit to be a mistake.

I think using that vote seven years ago as an example to state that Farage has the support from the majority of the country is simplistic and most likely incorrect, that's why I questioned your statement.

I disagree with you but fair enough if that's your opinion, I know I'm not going to change it whatever I say and I've explained my opposing view, I can do no more.

From my perspective, I am happy to agree to disagree and let people get on with watching the tele.
Wasn't it the biggest representative sample for a long time...

I didn't say opinion can't change only that many people agree with him on many issues, the majority on borders vs no borders. The majority did about brexit, so his views arent that out there are they. I still don't think the polls are right and also yes the Conservatives poor attempt at brexit has damaged its image for now. But the majority did agree with him. A poor implementation doesn't change that fact.

I was hoping we would agree to disagree...

Didn't the Leave campaign shun Farage anyway? Surely it's Johnson and Cummings who should be taking the credit for convincing the 37% of the electorate who actually voted to leave.

I find the whole borders things hilarious to be honest. We stopped people coming from France, Germany, Norway, Sweden etc. and restricted the movement of our people. When my partner first moved to London from Sweden nobody would have referred to her as an immigrant, she'd be an expat, why? It's because she's Caucasian. Nigel didn't put a load of Swedish women on a billboard did he, he put dark skinned males fleeing conflict in a billboard about Turkey which isn't even in Schengen anyway! And we're supposed to pretend it isn't about race and religion aren't we... the tragic thing being that we then lost our agreement with the EU to deal with the people he was trying to whip up anger about in the first place!

Farage does not have popular support and the majority of people do not agree with his views, hence him being in the bloody jungle eating kangaroo cock trying to become relevant again. There'll be more people who think he's a laughing stock than agree with his views on most things.

Can't be arsed anymore, believe what you want.
 
I wouldn’t want a Romanian drug dealer or gangster living next door to me same as I wouldn’t want a white English drug dealer or gangster living next door to me either, but a normal Romanian or any other race then I wouldn’t mind at all.
There aren’t half some racist bastards on this site, but they don’t have a clue they are. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I’d suggest you laugh as I’ve done plenty reading some of these comments about how you suddenly get branded a racist.

Anyway I’m out for good now on this thread it’s the same old shit just another day and as I’ve said previously it’s just so tiresome these days it really is.

Only on AVFTT could a harmless “ Official I’m a celebrity thread” turn it to a racist slur thread so it’s a 👋 from me.

I haven't partaken of this aspect of the thread, but I'll just say characterising all Romanians as criminals is the definition of racist.

Literally stereotyping a complete country's inhabitants as all criminals can't be seen any other way.

We can but you still felt the need to post so why can't I?

Of course there were many sides who fought on many issues but ultimately it doesn't change the fact that many agreed with him to come out the EU.

Have a look at the boat loads of people arriving, the point of the poster stands. We don't have the infrastructure for unlimited amounts of people.

I didn't say he did but some of the things he believes. He's a divisive figure as the media have gone after him like they can do for many. I don't agree with everything he says but some of the criticism is bollocks.

You believe what you want.

Well done for stating the bleeding obvious. 👍

I'd agree to a degree.

I know many good people of many nationalities.

However I don't think that if it is someone's preference for wanting someone they share values and language with to live next door to them is bad, it's their choice IMO.

Many immigrants want to live in their own communities, are they all racist? No, it's natural. Why do the accusations only seem to go one way?

Back to point I've been debating which was the nonsense comment about Farage, because he said he'd be 'concerned' if a GROUP of Romanian men moved in next door. Of course anyone would have concerns. They would if any group of men moved in next door. However there's no doubt Romanian gangs, given their notoriety, does comes to mind with a group of men.

Thats perfectly natural to think that, just in much the same way when Blackpool fans cause trouble, all Blackpool fans tend get a bad reputation. That's human nature. Is everyone anti Blackpool or are they just reacting to what they've seen.

What Farage said was right. Of course the headline lied and changed that to wouldn't want to live next door to Romanians.

Here's his quote..

"I was asked a question if a group of Romanian men moved in next to you, would you be concerned. If you lived in London I think you would be."

Heres the headline.

Funny how many on the left never mention it and push the the article as if its the same thing.

It was race baiting by Farage just like his poster campaign showing Syrians [I think] trying to enter Turkey. Designed to scare people and to stigmatize what often are legitimate asylum seekers.
It plays into a narrative that is divisive. And some lap it up.

Don't not post.

It's all about Celebrity!

No, it wasn't, as said would you have no concerns of a group if any men moved in next door?

I would, noise, groups of men tend to cause trouble etc etc.

At the time of the quote I think Romanian gangs was a hot topic. So a group of Romanian men would raise concerns.

Romanian gangs are some fo the worst. Or aren't we allowed to say that now?

Ah right. So we’ve agreed that any group of MEN (of whatever ethnicity, race or colour) moving next door would be a concern for our Nige. Whether they were Etonians, Americans, Kiwis, or from any other school, nationality, or ethnic persuasion.

Well that’s progress 👍

But you’re still arguing that the Blessed Nigel referring to Romanian Men specifically was justified because there were a couple of articles in the Daily Mail and Express two years apart.

Okey Dokey.
 
Just watching last night's episode. What a disgrace that Nella was to Fred. How utterly thick and emotionally immature is she? Spoiling Fred's experience too.

Imagine getting offended because someone says they are old enough to be your dad? Fcuking idiot. Thick as mince.

Hope Fred cooks for the group and leaves her ingredients to one side as requested. See how she gets on.

Cannot stand people like her.

Well obviously, he even said that too, can't remember why Romanian men came up. Probably because they've been proven to be one of if not the most notorious bunch maybe, shown in the crime stats.

It's not a couple of articles it's well known what reputation the Romanians have. Doesn't mean they're all like that of course.

Just like the English fans abroad, because of some idiots all English fans were treated as a threat and treated like shit by foreign police.

That's life. Human nature.

You do it with people with a different political persuasion, judging them, I do it.

Haven't seen the episode yet but have seen the clip. Just no need for it.

Shown herself right up and came across awfully.
 
First to go without a doubt. Absolute loud mouthed moron.
I quite liked the dynamic between her and Nigel, even though she was loud and daft.

But clearly there was another side.

I can understand some not wanting their family member brought up constantly but if you're that upset by it have a quiet word or something.

'You over there me over here' and don't try to 'little girl me' was just pathetic.

Problem is Mac she’s one of the many entitled don't offend me wokies. Fred said nothing offensive but she decided to make a meal out of it, oh wait a minute she’s refused to eat any food that Fred cooks 🤣🤣
 
I'm somewhat amazed by what people have written in this thread.

My Mrs is Romanian we met in Munich where we live. Every single member of her family are wonderful, kind, intelligent and very highly educated. The Romanian education system clearly had standards we haven't had for years, especially in the cold War days.

I have lots of other Romanian friends who live here, they are equally impressive people.

When I travel home I am overwhelmed by the astounding poverty in our town, the number of anti social, hair trigger violent, ignorant and uneducated people makes me genuinely sad.

I'd rather live next door to any of the Romanians I know above far too many of the people I meet back home. If some of the people fearing Romanian neighbours in this discussion met a lot more of them they'd probably agree.

BTW Farage is a twát playing on the fear of people for his own gain.

You’ve merely reacted to a response or two on here and have defended the Romanians and l get why but please don't trash Blackpool the way you have, yes we have social problems like any other city or town in this country. As you know l lived and worked in Munich for many years (16) but not once did l trash Blackpool. Munich is a beautiful city but has changed massively since The Wall came down and Angela Merkel allowing millions of immigrants to flood in but there is no place like the Gold Coast.

Some saying it gave them Roxanne Pallett vibes which I had to search.

I have to say, that was an absolutely shocking incident. 😲

Absolutely disgusting what she tried to do.

I don't think anyone has said all Romanians are bad have they? This was about a comment about made about a group of men moving in next door that would raise concerns.

You've just done what you claimed others did, but now about Blackpool.
 
Btw I want to live next door to decent neighbours. I’m not bothered if they’re Black, midgets, trannies etc….as long as they’re nice, considerate folk. We’ve been very lucky with neighbours over the years but our neighbours haven’t been so lucky
 
Nella at it again last night this time with Nigel - clearly she has a lot of issues and has a troubled background.
Unbelievably, she has over a million followers on Tik Tok and Instagram.
 
'Nonesense.'

You've admitted it yourself people want borders rather than an open door. Therefore peope agree with Nigel about that. That was a big brexit argument and remaining in meant open borders.

The majority won't want boats arriving and people taking the piss being put up in hotels at our expense, getting preferential treatment ahead of our own citizens.

So there's many things that people agree about in line with what he does.

It's funny they are in Australia, I bet if asked most people with opposing voews in that camp would say it's a wonderful country.

Yet you have to have to bring something to get in and they don't mess about with illegal boats anymore. A no nonesense approach was taken and they stopped the boats.
Hold on a minute, there is a huge difference between free movement for EU nationals and mass immigration from people on small boats. Unrelated topics. Secondly that freedom of movement has denied me the possibility of moving to a European country and denied the UK of a ready and willing workforce. Brexit has ended up with increased immigration problems, with no answer other than a Rwanda distraction gimmick and large job vacancies with little answer other than forcing people to work till they drop.
You enjoy Farage in the jungle, I'll pass. He's a vandal, wrecker, disruptor who pits A against B. He'll take up any cause as long as he can make money.
