UK truck drivers are white men

I remember a similar thread about this and the next day I saw 2 Indian truckers. To be fair it could have been the same person.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

That’ll go over a few heads Dave, but I thought it was very funny.

Got to be carefull as this thread is sure to be treading a fine line, but it really happened honest. Twas at Hams Hall, got there in the morning and saw one then went back in the afternoon and saw another one parked in the corner (possibly planning a shop build).

Also saw a jamaican chap, polish chap and a chinaman which although sounds like the start of a bad joke proves our industry appeals to other ethnic groups to some degree.

Don’t think Mr Sheen is an actual ethnic group though

In the news today. White boys get the worst grades so we choose lorry driving doing max hours to make good money :sunglasses:

4 black drivers in our depot,2 or 3 asian drivers,and a visiting indian geezer who comes in,has a scottish accent! all c + e drivers. east mids.

What a load of tosh

The hub I go to 2 or 3 times a week have got just about every race & creed you could think of,
Black, Brown, Yellow & sort of beige colours

They even put in those bogs where you squat over a hole in the floor

There are mainly black fellas, when I am in the midlands I see plenty of turbans as well, mainly driving tippers & skips

This thread is surreal, we all have our own likes and dislikes we are are all products of the way we were brought up by our parents (probably the main reason so many long term drivers are white), there is no right and wrong about nor which job you should have to suit your skin tone.
We have strengths and weaknesses and skills and aptitudes, some of these things are hereditary some are the results of conditioning over generations.

One thing we have in this country, but shared with all countries in varying degrees is discrimination, in India its by caste, in Britain its by class not colour.

How many MPs and Peers are working class men or women whatever their colour might be, how many lads who went to a secondry modern and left school at 15 are now heading multi million pound companies?

We get dished out a set of cards when we are born, some it works for, some it doesn’t, the labour and tory governments of the last 40 years proved they still hold fast to the class system by destroying the grammar schools which in many cases allowed them to better themselves, but they couldn’t pull the rope up quickly enough after them, Thatcher included who was a grammar scholar herself and should have behaved better.

The class system doesn’t worry too many of us, we accept who we are and do the best we can with what skills we have, us genuine working class are not in any way envious of the toffs who look after each other and primarily themselves (with few notable philanthropical exceptions over the years) at the expense of the working class because we expect no better of them, they have always been like this.

Our working classes do have a problem though in that the grammar schools taught people to think for themselves, not to just remember what they are told (which depends on who’s telling) and repeat it for an exam pass, which might give a clue as to why the grammars had to go, a population where too many can think for themselves isn’t so easy to mind control.

Whilst our working class believes what its told by our owners and controllers and their mainstream media from cradle to grave, the situation and status quo will never change, added to this is there’s more to the massive immigration we’ve seen over the last 20 year especially than meets the eye, it suits those in power that the people are divided, divided people are simple to rule, a united people of 70 million who finally at long last realise the state is not their friend is a formidable force.

The enemy is not the white or black or brown or yellow man, the true enemy is the one with power over all of us whatever our colour, the one dividing and ruling, the one who’s making obscene fortunes form working class misery.

There is some stereotyping and naivety contained in that.Firstly I think there was more chance of the average typical working class secondary school pupil rebelling against the system and telling the teachers to shove their establishment bs than the grammar school lot.Bearing in mind that grammar school was just another part of that establishment,elitist,conformist agenda.While ironically much of that rebelling included rebelling against the idea of ethnic integration and everyone is the same regardless of their ethnic origins.When the fact is we aren’t because nature rightly made the different ethnic groups all different.

While the definition of racist is actually ‘not’ respecting or even celebrating those differences.That applies wether it’s the type of Socialism and/or exploitative labour agenda that says we must all integrate and suppress any ideas of those differences.Or the ■■■■ type that says let’s attack people because they are different. :bulb:

On that note as for divide and rule I’d say it’s actually a case of the opposite.In that our ‘leaders’ are forcing us to integrate with and/or appease and accept a controlling influence by societies like those which have torn apart the Middle East etc.Let alone China’s militaristic tendency which shows every sign of typical extreme aggressive expansionist Socialism.All based on an agenda of Socialist infiltration and/or appeasement in exchange for short term profit. :open_mouth:

Take it you failed your eleven plus?

They are indeed, we live in an extremely racist country and the ethnic minorities tend to stick together they live in the same areas and stick to the same types of business, haulage is a white male dominated game.

Picture this, you have a business that produces goods to be moved, you put the job out to tender, one of the firms is run and owned by a British muslim the others are all “British” what is the likely outcome.

The ethnic communities usually stick to cash businesses, taxis, restaurants, car washing hair cutting, they don’t mind a bit of graft and are adverse to paying tax.

I would personally like to see a much more integrated society, sadly sexism and racism seems to be the preserve the masses and those with a particularly low level of intelligence, racism and sexism has absolutely no logic.

Same reason everytime I seem to book a taxi an asian guy turns up. Am i racist for even noticing that?

That’s a great point. There’s one UK transport sector that is dominated by a non-white race. I wonder if that has anything to do with it being a cash business that can start on a small scale and be built up as a family of owner operators. We tend to not have that sort of support network and tend more to go solo.

… and avoid paying the tax man!!!
I was talking to a hard working Pakistani (Yes that is what he calls himself - not British) last week who now he has got a mortgage for £135K working a 48 hour £300 a week job he told me he was jacking it in to earn £8K a year and he would be better off because he has 5 kids … and his missus don’t work!
Country is a ■■■■■■■ joke, he is living where I cannot afford to and I earn more than him … do the Math on that because I can’t work it out!!!

not racist,just normally observant…if you come out of Birmingham airport,or mancs airport,and look for a taxi,you have to look twice to realise your not in downtown Bangladesh,

abdul decides to turn christian as he lives in the uk now,next day he gets killed ,up at the pearly gates,st peter says,what are you wanting…abdul says.im here for jesus…st pete whistles and shouts.oi,jesus,your taxis here… :slight_smile:

Go to Brum airport and see the lavish prayer and wash facilities while the stinking toilets the indigenous are made to use…

id have thought racism and sexism were rife across all levels of breeding and intelligence. im as racist and sexist as it gets,but id think with my qualifications id be of at least above average intelligence. sholsticly speaking ive 8 o levels,5 highers,and a cpc. not exactly nasa spec,but not exactly a ■■■■■■ either.

so if your up on top of a high rise flat thats on fire…wh would you rather see coming up the ladder to rescue you.a big hairy assed fireman,or a feminist lesbo fire wifey…same for being on a plane thats in difficultys,wh would you rathe bewrestling with the stick when your heading don at 500 mph,a 55 year old ex falklands veteran pilot,or some other wifey in a mans job with her ■■■■ selotaped flat,a mans haircut,on her dabs wondering who her mans shagging while shes been away,and whats happening with pippa and jemima at boarding school…sexisms nothing to do with it,just being the right person best suited for the job in hand.just examples of how common sense and reality have to revolve 180 degs to suit the pc minority.
99 chinky takeaways don’t take credit cards,cash only,
taxicompanies,mostly cash,
Taliban car washes,cash
self op sunbed shops…cash
nail bars etc,cash…all mostly foriegners,or drug money getting laundered.

Why is it supposedly an ‘intelligent’ idea,that women to have to compete with men in the workplace for limited job opportunities and an economy based on the idea of women having to put work above their natural role of looking after a family.With the result being that it now takes two wage earners to support a family that was supported by one. :unamused:

Let alone the logical conclusion of ethnic integration being the end of the idea of the nation state and national borders.That’s assuming the immigrant populations don’t take advantage of such naivety by going for self determination and/or taking over if/when they reach the critical demographic. :unamused:

So the penny has not yet dropped ,time to change deity then. :smiley:

Anyway up here truck drivers are humans , no one really cares about skin tone , religion,or nationality as long as the feet can reach the pedals.

at least he is being truthful to you about what he is…Pakistani muslim 1st,british 2nd when it suits.the logic of the ones that call themselves ( british ) has always somewhat escaped me.

Winseer:
Whilst out and about I notice:-

More female truckers in the West Sussex area.
More black truckers in the London area.
More Immigrant truckers in the England area.

What I don’t see though is Asian truck drivers. Plenty of Asian taxi drivers - but an Asian truck driver is as seemingly rare as a female cabbie or a white English bloke waiting at tables.
Even when in Leicester, I’ve not seen an asian truck driver. Anyone else noticed this? I’ve never seen a black female trucker anywhere either.

btw. By “truck” I really mean C+E I should point out. Puddle jumpers and prams don’t count. :smiling_imp:

time to bump this 1 methinks?? anyone seen one yet? viewtopic.php?f=2&t=119074&hilit=burka+wearing+truckies

I was looking for an Indian the other day in Greater Manchester.
