UKIP- it didnt take long did it

[squirtyflower]

Likewise two Cornish speakers, one of whom gets a job at McDonalds in Plymouth?

Not sure that'd be a good idea, one sixth of the entire stock of Cornish speakers being in the same building.

Surely there's some rule about that, like with the royal family traveling together?

Well what job would you get with a Masters in Cornish?

Wouldn't they be more likely to be selling pasties than Big Macs?

I want to know where the "Do Gooders" get their money from, and why are they always part of the problem and not the solution?

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

Why would a party that professes to be of the libertarian right want to know where anybody earned there money and then question how they spent it, if it was indeed on what those very people considered "good causes"

Thats counter intuiative at least and idiotic mostly.

I wonder if they consider philanthrophy as do-gooding

UKIP have a big following in Cornwall, was down there recently and there were far more placards and posters etc in peoples houses/gardens than all the other parties put together.

Something in tin?

Can't imagine UKIP wanting to prevent it. By the way, could you list all the languages that you feel your local council should offer to phone callers?

Yes, English, but I'm looking at this statement of Markt's that if you are ordering a big mac it should be in English.

So two welsh speakers are allowed to speak welsh in Wales; if one of them gets a job with McDonalds in Bristol and sees the other one by chance come in, is he allowed to say 'would you like fries with that' in welsh?

Up to McDonalds really but if push came to shove, I would have thought that in legal terms Welsh in Wales, for example, has a higher status than Cornish in Cornwall. Having said that, if sufficient people in Cornwall really want to make the effort, then there's no reason why Cornish couldn't get there in the end.

I really don't think this is the point that the earlier hoax was alluding to. Would you feel comfortable moving to Buenos Aires and expecting things to be translated into English for you, rather than learning Spanish? I wouldn't.

Yes I know it wasn't but that is why I am interested in exploring the limits and implications of the statement, because they don't seem to have been thought through at all.

If it is up to McD's whether they allow people to speak in welsh or Cornish why isn't it up to the council to let people speak in polish or punjabi? After all, there are probably more native polish speakers in England than there are native welsh speakers.<br /><br />-- Mon Jun 10, 2013 9:07 pm --<br /><br />

As far as earning it goes, the rule of law is a fundamental principle of libertarianism.

As for spending it, then parties that support higher taxation are clearly the ones by definition who want to control what we spend our money on, by taking more of our money off us and spending it on our behalf.<br /><br />-- Mon Jun 10, 2013 9:13 pm --<br /><br />

It's the difference between private enterprise and taxpayer funded public services.

Close, but no cigar.

So if our imaginary Cornishman gets a job with Plymouth social services, he can't speak Cornish to a Cornish speaking client?

I'm standing up because of the millions who died fighting in wars for this
country, and for the British flag.

What on earth gives the far right of British politics the right to claim that people who died for Britain died solely for them.

I personally find the whole notion obnoxious in the extreme and think its degrading to those especially in WW2 who gave there lives in a fight against right wing tyranny to be celebrated and exalted by people who share the same ideology they fought so valiantly to defeat.

I would imagine the average British Tommy who selflessly did his duty to protect the freedoms we enjoy today would be appaled by UKIP and the rise of the far right.
