That is not the point I was making. Not everyone is money obsessive, nor does eveyone want to win the lottery, I'm sorry if you cannot fathom that but it's true. Many people I know are VERY happy to work and live withing their monetary boundaries...

David Cameron thinks immigration is a problem..No really................

That is not the point I was making. Not everyone is money obsessive, nor does eveyone want to win the lottery, (they don't participate in it).

David Cameron thinks immigration is a problem..No really................

I understand what she was saying, and I agree with most of it, however she really didn't think about how to say it. It's not going to look good for her... Although, I get the feeling she isn't really bothered about coming across in a good light. I'm glad we have a housemate who doesn't shy away from controversial opinion and doesn't seem to care about pleasing the viewing public.

I think there's a difference between wanting to enjoy the benefits of money which I agree we all do and saying as Sarah did that money is your biggest turn on and that you would only consider going out with someone who is loaded. Personally I think she said it like Harriet said she supported UKIP and Jade said she was polyamorous to be controversial and get on the show but the type of things people are prepared to say does say something about them as people.

Right so you want us to keep schtum about our opinions in order for HMs to feel free to open up about theirs That makes total sense.

Its always better to have than to have not, if being wealthy does not sit well with you and your friends you could always give it to charity, but after reading your post #47 I can see I am wasting my time as your mind is clearly made up on the HM......

I never mentioned my personal circumstances or those of my friends so please don't be
presumptuous. It's not kind or clever.

It's never a waste of time to debate and put your point accross for discussion, after all, isn't that what a forum is about.

For someone who's training to be a Lawyer she's not very Articulate or good at getting her point across clearly ....i can just see her in court defending someone and then furiously trying to backpeddle when challenged ...daft bint

Ha ha ha,

EVEN David Cameron?????

Sorry if think I have been unkind to you it was never my intention, and it is never a waste of time in debating, as we all have different points of view on the same subjects, it would be a waste of time if we all thought the same and agreed on everything.....

Clearly no one is objecting to her 'liking money'. That's not even what she said. I can't believe you even think anyone would be dumb enough to buy your ridiculous misrepresentation.

Shock horror, but you know what I mean, without having to go into a long political rant on immigration.....

I know I really shouldn‘t comment as I didn‘t see or hear said exchange, but if what is quoted here is true - I hardly think having an “Awrigh‘ me ol‘ mucker, ah‘m a good ol‘
fashioned workin‘ class gal, ah am!“ approach is more controversial or, impo, offensive than the comments on immigrants.

Granted it doesn't take into account what the job is or whether it's related to the degree, but then nor does the Student Loans Company when it takes repayments so it doesn't matter anyway.

The issue isn't that she objects to migrants 'who don't work'. Saying "I don't like migrants who come here just to claim benefits" is like saying "I don't like criminals". It's so mind-numbingly inane that it begs the question of why she even feels compelled to say so and suggests an ulterior motive. Why focus on migrants in particular? What special role do they play in the benefits system? Truth is they barely figure, but they provide a convenient scapegoat. Associating them with scrounging provides a seemingly legitimate reason for targeting them, concealing possible undercurrents of xenophobia and racism.

Citing Katie Hopkins as some kind of role model should tell us all we need to know. It's populism for unthinking dolts; holding opinions for the purpose of self-aggrandisement rather than sincere conviction (or even interest). It's ironically the sort of attitude rife among the uneducated, tabloid-reading, Jeremy Kyle-watching commoners Sarah also purports to hate.

In a nutshell

In a nutshell. Very well said!

^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If Harriet would have displayed any negative aspects of herself or negative opinions, Sarah would have joined in, I think she was trying to figure her out

Excellent post.

Case closed.

I'm quoting this again because fk it I can.

I remember when studying law seemed like a reliable benchmark of intellect and education. Clearly not anymore if her and, is it Adjoa? are anything to go by.


This. Completely.

It's populist ignorance, untroubled by the facts and fuelled by our propagandist press and UKIP. Facts like how much immigrants contribute to the economy vs taking from it (eg they put in 37% more than they take out vs Brits taking out 20% more than they put in so the net gain from migrants is greater than from Brits). Or how many Brits are migrants in other countries. Or indeed how many migrants make up our population (I.e. it's less than many other European countries, US and Australia).

Her comment on sexuality is infuritating.

She needs to get her head out of her arse. From the minute she walked in, I had her marked as TROUBLE
