    Yawn I missed an e get over it.
    I put the Nazi symbol because you are one
    Actually you didn't know the correct word and just miss an 'e', otherwise you would have written:

    "you'r"

    because nobody ever writes:

    "youre"

    so, what you actually meant was:

    "your"

    because you don't know the difference between the three usages.


    Show me where I have said something nazi-like? Calling people animals is nazi-like? God this gets even better.....

    Before you call out someone else's spelling, your original post had plenty of grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and clunky syntax.

    Examples:

    "There's not point fooling around,.......sitting on their backsides all day wanting to win games shows"

    "How do we fix the whole social/cultural problem?" - Are you trying not to make any sense?

    "Do we stop immigration because its diluting what the British way is?" - What beautiful prose :rolleyes:

    "bet this was a shock for those of you who think im right wing"
    1) You've just proved how desperately hard you had to look for errors in my messages and all you could find were omitted apostrophes? Dear dear...... scraaaaaaaaaaaping the barrel.....

    2) I still know the difference between "you're" and "your"

    i write youre, most people do i just miss the apostrophe because the button doesnt work on my current laptop, just because you dont doesnt mean no one does, i missed an e, get over it and stop trying to make yourself feel superior about what was a small grammatical error. is this what your argument has become picking on my grammar and spelling? i know the right has no real arguments except we dont like the poor but come on this is all you have? youre pathetic

    Suggesting people are animals, promoting some bizarre form of eugenics etc ect. You must be really disturbed in the mind if you think thats acceptable.

    "Not point" is a typo, "games shows" is another spelling error.

    I don't know, maybe it's just how I was raised, but I find it a little sloppy to publish some half-arsed manifesto rambling about God knows what and expect us to take it seriously when you can't even be bothered to formulate your points correctly.

    I didn't have to go back and go through all of your posts with a fine comb to find errors, as I started reading this thread from the start and noticed the glaring mistakes in your OP straight away.

    This is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on the Student Room.

    First of all, I don't know which era you are referring to when you are saying we need to make 'Britain as great as it used to be' but the whole tendency of romanticising the past does little for future progress and ignores some of the outrageous travesties that occurred in the past.
    I assume if you want to go back in time to make Britain great again you are wanting to go back to a time where; women couldn't vote or couldn't vote on the same terms as men, although judging by the tone of this thread I wouldn't be surprised, a time when it was seen as perfectly reasonable to abuse those of a different race and religion on a daily basis and to use the N word as casual banter, a time when you could be hanged for having same sex intercourse, where, if you were disabled it was seen as acceptable for an employer to refuse you work regardless of whether you were the best person for the job.

    I seriously hope this is a troll but if not I hope you realise that you are advocating that the state should punish you by taking away your children if you happen to lose your job or fall on hard times and have to go on benefits.

    I notice you have praised the US for their domestic policies, I assume you are also aware that the US spends more on its nuclear deterrent than it does on child healthcare and that whilst you condemn celebrity culture, do you not also recognise that the US massively started this trend and continues to fuel it to this day?

    Do you seriously believe that half of the UK go around stabbing people on a regular basis? Also, since when was getting pregnant a bad thing? Yes, having children and living off benefits should not be seen as a career choice but if you have been to a sink school, had no encouragement or inspiration to do anything else than this or have no knowledge of any future other than living off the state can you really blame people who do this?

    I also find it ironic you have said more people should be nurses and doctors yet then complain about immigration. The development of the modern day NHS would have been nigh on impossible without mass scale immigration in the 1950s and the NHS could not cope without workers from other countries.

    Finally, the notion of pure British culture is absolute tosh. First of all, the human race started in Africa, over the past few millennia we have been subject to Roman and Nordic culture both of which massively increased our development as immigration continues to do to so to this day.

    I agree that the UK isn't perfect but you have failed to mention at least one sensible idea whatsoever. I'd suggest you start to read a newspaper or watch something called the news, most TV channels contain news programmes just in case you were unaware.
