A mate of mine works at a car dealership up in Manchester; I was talking to him and have to say what he told me has lost me a lot of faith in the UK.
The story goes…
There was a minibus on the forecourt for sale at £7995; 2 Pakistani dudes came in a few weeks back to have a look at the bus, they asked if the bus could be held for them; so they held it for them pending payment.
The whole family came in a few days back; 8 of them in total (nice big family
), and decided to buy it, they gave £995 in cash and £7000 via cheque; at first look he didn’t want to accept the cheque because it was a “Giro Cheque”, pretty much the same as a welfare cheque.
He phoned up to check out the cheque and was told that it was fine to take it; the woman on the other side of the call explained that the cheque was given because the government felt they were paying too much in taxi fares to take the family to the mosque each day, so they gave the family £7000 for a vehicle.
Seriously now, what is this country doing? The government was paying for an immigrated family to get taxis to a mosque every day? The immigration is getting beyond a joke now, why do we give these people so much money to stay here?
I’m not racist and I understand the need for people to find pastures new, to a certain extent I understand that but shit like this just gets on my nerves.
The UK is becoming one big bullshit joke.
