Originally posted by Grampy BobbyHey don't knock them. They keep me in work. Thankfully, they also rarely vote. The obvious exception being when the British National Party are standing. as after all, the reason they have no job is because of immigration, not a basic lack of personal work-ethic and zero qualifications as they p**sed around at school.
Good one, Iron.
And just think... these people walk among us and procreate and vote.
