Drone
That is total bollocks frankly. It’s so typical of the left that they cannot believe that the public can actually decide for themselves? The total arrogance from the same morons who trumpeted venezuela east Germany and Cuba.
Prosperity and life simply has never been better. On just about every single ****** index. We have near enoughfull employment ffs
Nothing is ever perfect but the alternative is what?
August 11, 2018 at 11:17 #1362743What makes you think I’m left-wing Clive?
Agreed, Capitalism is the least-bad economic model tried thus far
The alternative: no idea
It’s all pissing-in-the-wind anyway: mother nature will have the last laugh, as she always does; she’s already chuckling
August 11, 2018 at 11:28 #1362749I know your not drone and I’ll let the other stuff pass. It’s not worth arguing with people who wake up every morning to nurse shouting “WHOS THE PRIME MINISTER”
August 11, 2018 at 12:19 #1362779“WHOS THE PRIME MINISTER”
We don’t have one, or a government, or an opposition: worthy of the names anyway
Frank Field for PM, I say
Nurse!!
August 11, 2018 at 12:38 #1362788Oh, you’ll “let the other stuff pass”, Clive, I bow in deep indebtedness to your kindness. And there I was thinking you were an abusive fascist/racist who doesn’t bother to read things properly and had no care for the 25% of the population who suffer from mental health problems each year and the record number of folk prescribed antidepressants in our wonderful neo-liberalist Britain. Not true, you just believe the indexes.
August 11, 2018 at 15:14 #1362811and there I was thinking you were a w*nker when you are a nut
August 11, 2018 at 15:48 #1362814@Nausered- the accusations of racism weren’t meant to be taken literally; indeed, the one aimed at Moehat was made entirely in jest.
However, why bring up the fact that these call centres are in India at all? Why not just say “their call centre is crap”? Mentioning India does make it look as though there is an underlying dissatisfaction of some sort.
August 11, 2018 at 16:09 #1362817No it doesn’t Gladiateur, you can’t honestly think that, you must be on the wind up.
August 11, 2018 at 17:22 #1362825People on an intelligent forum are going to express different opinions, Clive, but why should they put up with one participant calling them: idiot, moron, ******, **** and nut.
August 11, 2018 at 22:19 #1362844@Kris: We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one, but consider the difference between these two statements:
Racing UK’s call centre is full of idiots
and
Racing UK’s Scottish call centre is full of idiots.
August 11, 2018 at 23:12 #1362848Are you seriously suggesting that the second statement could be considered racist?
No, not having it, you are definitely on the wind up.
August 12, 2018 at 06:09 #1362857Anyone remember this Brass Eye spoof on racist attitude?
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
August 12, 2018 at 10:44 #1362865Would:
Racing UK’s English call centre is full of idiots
be racist, or would it be the title of an opinion piece by Afua Hirsch in the Guardian

Because it’s a relevant fact. I hate Indian call centres, because they cannot speak English properly half of the time. How would that not be frustrating? I would repeat the same statement, replacing Indian with Scottish regarding your next post.
I did not realise that I’m a knuckle dragger. Thanks for enlightening me. I’m 44, a former plastering contractor for most of my life. Born/lived in South London my whole life nigh on. (it actually says ‘true cockney’ on my birth certificate, bow bells blah blah). I have hundreds of friends, loads of black mates, a few Asian mates, the business I’m in now, is a very male orientated one. The Asian mates I have, say exactly the same as me… “Can’t understand them, and they don’t understand me”. Are they a bit racist too?
Stop being all PC and offended for other people snowflake
xAugust 14, 2018 at 13:12 #1363007“I did not realise that I’m a knuckle dragger.”
And I did not realise that I had called you one- perhaps you’d care to enlighten me as to where I did, snowflake?

Happy to report that my experiences as a Virgin Net/Media/Web/whatever else user of nineteen years’ standing would be the exact opposite.
The non-UK call centre operatives, as has been widely reported previously including a core of graduate and postgraduate level students, are intelligent, inquisitive (as far as the scripted parts of their job will permit them to be, admittedly), unstintingly polite and blessed with mellifluous accents that take little to no working out. They and I have never not enjoyed wholly satisfactory interaction when the need has arisen.
The UK equivalents… not so much.

Totally disagree. Had my account hacked and they did nothing about it or had any understanding of the problems it went on to cause. They were crap
They also once completely deleted my previous email address by mistake and no apology nothing.
I’m amazed you say that because I’ve heard about the same problems from others many times
