The Poolie Bunker

Once again Reform playing their one card trick coinciding with the Clacton by election, Immigration, its getting boring now, I have listened to his speech, as usual Reform blaming all the U.K. woes on the immigrants citing the closure of, pubs shops and banks plus the 1 million youth unemployment on Nail Bars,Turkish Barbers, Delivery Drivers and Vape shops. Reform are going to deport 1 million people when if which I doubt will form a government, they better get the transport lined up now.
As far as Nail Bars, Vape Shops, Barbers Shops and Delivery Drivers who uses them, the general public, it’s a bit hypocritical if you don’t want immigrants if you use those facilities and support Reform, let’s boycott them all.
When are Reform going to come up with some workable policies, last week it was deploying the Royal Navy which got shot to prices, I can imagine this latest statement will come under the same scrutiny.

I have added the link which was on YouTube,

Have a day off man.

Just admit it your homesick and getting bored of the jungle life.

6500 miles away trolling
What a brilliant life you have.

Newsflash for Jamie - both Labour and the Conservatives have also said illegal immigration and working is a problem and both those parties claim they'll stop the boats and smash the gangs.
So Reform are only putting their own spin on what all of the main political parties recognise as a significant problem.
Instead of asking when will Reform (a party of a handful of MPs) come up with workable policies, why not ask why the party in power are not coming up with any? Reform have zero power to legislate whereas the government have total power to legislate but do feck all apart from hand billions to the French and spend millions on hospitality for the invaders.
It's quite obvious you are scared shitless about Reform as you are fixated on criticising them on a disturbingly frequency. Have you considered counselling or just giving your favourite YouTube streams a miss for a couple of days.

Labour have increased fines for this sort of thing alreadyJamie…hasn’t your Fat Controller at Labour HQ kept you up to date…or are you just out of the loop.

Let's just leave it as it is eh Jamie?, it's working so well atm, I don't use any of those services you mention above so it won't (if it ever happened) have any affect on me.These so called "businesses" are ruining virtually every high street in the country but just ignoring it hasn't worked for the last couple of decades, we need some positive action which Reform are trying to propose but you just keep dissing it as normal. Unless of course laundering money or buying illegal ciggies and dodgy banned vapes is right up your street?

Back in the day I believe my response would have been 'Get a Life'. In today's wacky world I would suggest that 'Do one, attention seeker' would be more appropriate for such trolling out of sheer fear of a political entity.

This.

Tough crowd, eh Jamie. Must all be far-right bigots.

Yes certainly rattled a few cages, posters don’t like being told the truth being taken in by Reform and their one card trick about immigration is to blame for all the UKs economic woes, people get mixed up with or are deliberately misled by Reform into believing that people who arrive on boats are the cause of the UKs economic woes
Some more boring facts for posters to have a winge at me, you never hear Reform mention them.
Fiscal impact: Most working-age migrants are net contributors to the public purse, paying income tax and National Insurance that fund public services and filling labour gaps:
Immigrants actively staff critical, hard-to-fill positions in the National Health Service (NHS), social care, agriculture, and hospitality

Whilst it was a link from YouTube it was on Sky News but you would have been watching GB News so would probably have missed it, strange how none of the MSM have bothered to feature it probably as their previous scheme to involve the Royal Navy was literally blown out of the water are bored with Reforms rants about Immigration and don’t take them seriously anymore. I am not scared shitless about Reform, what economic policies do they have ones which will improve the economy that I should be scared about, they don’t have any, can you enlighten me PTID on any ?

Give it a rest…who are you kidding.
You couldn’t rattle a budgie cage.
Your unhealthy obsession with Farage is cringeworthy and whenever cornered you try to bluff your way out….or just ignore any awkward facts.
You’re a Labour stooge with Tory standards, going by you unhealthy obsession with money to the point you move half way round the world to save a few quid, now that is very odd…if in fact if you do actually live there…all sounds very manufactured and choreographed to me.

Your football input is one line minimal …. but your Labour Party propaganda is plentiful and overflowing……how many other boards host you with your message from the topics line from the Throston Studios…?

Constantly posting about a party of 7 MPs and demanding what their policies are indicates you've got an unhealthy obsession with that party. Get help!!!
Maybe direct your attention more at a government who are all talking about immigration, who are destroying the economy, making pensioners poorer, and generally letting the country go to the dogs eh? They're the only ones who can improve things after all.

some sexless looking bint from the labour cabinet was on the box only a few minutes ago bragging about what they have done to curb illegals working. have had more arrests and deportations since they have come into power. without reform would they have been that keen to do this and brag about it. can understand farage winding up the left but not yousuf he just says it as he thinks without the frills an playing to the audience.

he might be quiet for a few weeks. the woke festival for the luvvy left starts today. the edinburgh fringe. he,ll be glued to it.

Sure Jamie previously boasted of haveing a successful career in the Oil Industry.

Would of thought that would result in a mortgage free house in Hartlepool which would work out a lot cheaper than air miles to the jungle to pay rent.

Wonder if Heed be up to a bunker meet up before n after a Pools game.
That would be very interesting.

Jamie was over not so long ago. I am sure he was wanting to meet Snowy down at Seaton.
Yes next time you are over Jamie, something could be arranged, pint before the match or something?

Any chance that Reform could stop Jamie (or is it PJ Poolie) from returning?

I move halfway around the world as I can afford to live here with a better standard of living with than I could do in the U.K.I do .have an unhealthy thing about Farage as I can’t believe so many are so gullible to be taken in with Reform, a bunch of far right Tories.i think if look back through the topics Snowy you post more non football topics than anyone.

I was on the prom every night with the Hounds of the Baskerville’s when he was over, as usual, but never got a whiff of the Poolie Pimpernel.

They seek him here, they seek him there,
The Poolies seek him everywhere?.
Is he still here if he came at all,
Or has he gone back for the Old Playboy's Ball.

You must have missed the reports of thousands rampaging through the streets of Ceuta trashing property,looting shops and assaulting locals,along with the never ending gang battles with knives occurring in migrant camps.Isnt it about time you opened your eyes to whats happening out there,Jamie.??

Presumably to the middle-east? I know you lefties love a bit of Islam. The reason your ideology will likely ultimately fail is because you don't even understand your enemy. Instead you turn everyone who disagrees with your worldview into a one dimensional caricature and assume you are the righteous ones. Re your absolute blind obsession with Reform and Farage, I would stop worrying about that and start paying attention to your real enemy. The next GE is likely three years away, Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain are coming.

I think you need to keep up with news, most of them returned, you won’t see that publicised in the right wing MSM or announced by Reform. I doubt a mass invasion like that would happen on the south cost not unless they are very strong swimmers or have great flotation aids. Swimmers and floaters utilized coastal routes around Benzú and Tarajal.

If you had crossed the road you might have found me in the 9 Anchors pub, they allow dogs in.

Mortgage free house but still having to pay council tax, excessive utility bills with a standing charge, fuel prices controlled by the operators. No council tax here, utilities <£900 annually and fuel prices <£1 a litre both controlled by the government, rents less than 50% than in the U.K and VAT 7%. Air miles, I only travel every couple of years. An abundance of year round of fresh fruit, vegetables, fresh seafood etc at affordable prices, the only thing which is expensive comparable to the U.K. is beef mostly Australian imported and tough as old boots.

What about the violence ,Jamie?If you can see thugs like them working for the NHS then you really are feckin mad.....They'll be back another day,they'll just take a different route.

Yer just a tight wad greedy old scrote desperately trying to justify your ‘life style’ and failing miserably at it in …heard it Al before…but still you drone on regardless.oh dear.

Free bananas off the trees and no council tax.
And a prisoner in the Jungle because your to greedy to travel.

Sounds amazing.
But not as good as haveing a few beers before and after today's Pools game.
And haveing physical conversations with fellow Poolies.

Sounds like your best pal is the Internet.

Anyhow take it easy kid.
UTP.

Whats the NHS got to do about the Africans, the majority of immigrant NHS workers were from the EU until freedom of movement was stopped. Now the immigrants are globally recruited.
Top Overseas Nationalities in the NHS.
India: The largest international contributor, with nearly 80,000 staff members.Nigeria:
The second or third largest foreign nationality, representing over 40,000 health professionals.
Philippines: A primary source for international nurses, contributing over 30,000 workers.
Pakistan and Ghana: Major suppliers of clinical and medical staff

If you didn’t turn up daily, endlessly flogging your politics, like you did or still do on this and other sites, we might have more time for football and a bit of humour.

You don’t debate…you lecture/ rabbit on and never concede a single point even when blatantly wrong.
Funny how you keep selling your so called new life style but spend most of the day banging on about UK politics…the irony is probably lost on you.

I reckon Jamie logs off the Bunker.
And then goes on the BBC website and YouTube to tell everyone that their comments are all wrong and his views off life are the only ones that are correct.

Pot calling the kettle black again Snowy, go back and check the number of non football topics you have posted in the last 2 pages, more than half a dozen, me a couple. I have every right to keep banging on about the U.K. I am a citizen, I pay my taxes in the U.K. at the same time not a burden on any of the services or claim any benefits apart from my State Pension.

You don't bang on about the UK you just bang on about all of your bogeymen, Trump, Truss, Farage, Reform, etc

Can you make a list of any good in today’s world the afore mentioned have done PTID, I think you would struggle.

You been counting ….you are desperate.Oh dear.
As for not being ‘burden’…does that apply yo on here too.

When someone makes an untrue accusation it gives me great pleasure to debunk them more so as it’s you Snowy.
Burden on The Bunker, you would be lost without my contributions Snowy, no one to slag off.

Funny, how you with so many critics on this board having a pop at you daily for your out of touch comments on politics, you whine about me…..I must be hitting the target.
Good.

out of all those numbers quoted how many of them came to the country via dover and calais on a dinghy or could or want to work for the NHS if they did. every country in the world advertise abroad for jobs and we never needed to be in the eu to do this. as a kid going to hospital most doctors seemed to have Stein ot Berg at the end of their names and the nurses all seemed irish.

Jamie claims to have his finger on the pulse of the UK economy, cost of living, and general destruction of our culture and society from his "reliable" on line sources. These sources must be telling him that Reform and Farage are an immediate and real threat to the UK when the reality is they're a very small minority party of 7 MPs.
Somehow during his extensive trawling of the internet he never ever comes across any reports of how the present government are harming the country, plenty about previous orders even potential future governments mind. Here's a couple of issues that you're obviously missing Jamie - record small businesses going under, huge spending, record youth unemployment, record high taxes, record borrowing with the National Debt having risen to over £3trillion, highest fuel costs in Europe,. Now for most of us living here they are currently far more important to the state of our country and our everyday life than anything Farage or Reform are getting up to.
You like lists don't you, so how about a list of the good things that Labour have done in the last couple of years or what they're going to do in the next couple?

As far as debt is concerned when the Labour Party won the UK general election in July 2024, they inherited a national public sector net debt of approximately £2.69 trillion (around 98% to 100% of GDP), alongside an annual public sector net borrowing (deficit) of £122 billion for the 2023/24 financial year. So considering your figures debt hasn’t grown. Energy costs, Labour have no control over them, they are run by private companies and global market prices not under the governments control.
Data shows that UK net migration has dropped significantly to 171,000 (the lowest since the pandemic), and total asylum claims are down by 12%.
Can you produce the benefits you received from the 14 years of Conservative government ?

A problem in the near future which no government has any control of is inflation, it could rise to over 6% by Christmas due to the Straits of Hormuz being closed with no real solution in site and it looks like even if it reopens Iran will be controlling it, thanks again Donald.
Whether Labour is damaging the U.K. is a matter of opinion among the economists, obviously you with your far right views, glued to GB News etc are always going to blame Labour even though they have only been in power just over 2 years. Are forgetting we have 2 ‘wars’ ongoing which is seriously affecting tne worlds economy which no government has any control over.
Who did you actually vote for at the last election and what impressed you about them and what have they achieved since then ?

TBH Snowy I like your craic, yes I have a few critics but not many as The Bunker has over 2500 members, only 0.2% of them.

And that says it all the debt when they came into power was £2.69trillion now it's £3trillion - but it's not increased? What school did you go to?
That increase despite highest taxes in history, and windfall VAT income from fuel sales since the Iran war.
Taxes up, National Debt up tells us all that the economy is not doing well, so no it's not a matter of opinion, it's fact.
But somehow any facts which are critical of your beloved Labour party are never accepted - none so blind than those who will not see.
So no you're not at all interested in commenting on the state of the UK, just in criticising all and every politician or party that isn't Labour.
As ever no response to the request for anything good that Labour's done eh?

The answer none came by boat, they aren’t allowed to work, these are people who applied for visas to work in the U.K. The population has grown significantly since you were younger so more services are required, it was recently in press the population of Hartlepool has grown to 100000 although I am not sure how far the boundaries of Hartlepool extend to now, they include Wynyarde i believe.

Swerving direct questions and going off on tangents. Give it a rest,Jamie!ffs

Jamie's like that annoying fly in your kitchen, you know the one that lands on your freshly made sandwich or the rim of your pint of Strongarm, the one that buzzes around the front room while your favourite TV show is on or lands on the back of your hand repeatedly as you tap away on your mobile phone.

Adding up all of Jamie’s factors…he’s a socialist obsessed by finance, lives a half way around the world and Farage phobic.
An odd concoction by most standards.

Socialist yes, Reform phobic yes as the gullible get taken in by his constant rhetoric of immigration and boat crossings have caused all the UKs economic problems. Reform have yet to come up with credible policies on how they will fix the U.K. economy.
Obsessed by finance, not obsessed, interested, i only ever leave a minimal amount in a building society or bank account due to their paltry interest rates. Is it a crime as a socialist I not am allowed to invest elsewhere as advised by an IFA ?
What interests do you have Snowy apart from constantly being on The Bunker all day, from very early morning till late ?
Just because you have no interest in financials don’t go slagging people off who do, you have a very bad habit of doing that, live and let live Snowy.

Don’t read or reply to my posts then if they bother you that much, simple as that.

Show me a question I have swerved, I asked this before but no one replied, people make arguments I make counter arguments that’s what debate is about.

Come on Jim Bob…you positively excel in ignoring awkward facts or questions.
It’s your trademark

I suppose you want a timetable of Snowys dogwalks and his log in times of the Bunker.
