Thanks to Emma.

My husband has been trying to get into teacherrs training for 3 years now, there seems to be a brick wall at every turn, to be quite honest i think it is because they are looking for more enthnic minorities in our area rather than the educated working class white.
Rachel, Romford Essex

It’s a possibility but, if I had to guess, I’d put good money on it being down to the fact that he’s some kind of ruddy-faced, racist cunt.

    Looking for ethnic minorities in Essex. Hm.

  2. on 11 Mar 2009 at 12:42 pm DangerBat

    Perhaps they’re looking for people who can spell…

  3. on 11 Mar 2009 at 12:48 pm fucko the clown

    Nah they probably just thought he was a complete cunt when he turned up in an XR3I with Rachel 4 Trev on the sunstrip

  4. on 11 Mar 2009 at 12:56 pm Nelson

    What the fuck is wrong with the XR3I eh? Apart from it being a car I mean. Nothing, that’s what.

    Have they got schools in Romford? Really?

    Maybe he’s not told her he’s listed on the child protection register after the police found out about the ‘research’ he was doing into children on the web.

    My husband has been trying to get into teacherrs training for 3 years now, there seems to be a brick wall at every turn

    … largely because he is a fuckwit who is incapable of finding the door. As it hasn’t occurred to him that there might be other sides to the building, I’d suggest that he might not be prime teacher material.

    Given that some of my former college mates are now fully-qualified teachers the minimum qualifications would appear to be –
    1) ability to find the front door of the building,
    2) ability to spell your name more or less correctly and
    3) not forgetting to put your trousers on in the morning.

    Therefore, I’d hazard a guess that he’s failed at the first hurdle.

    It might also be because, as part of his application, he described his ambition as “being on good money and having six month holidays, innit.”

    (Or it could be that he’s applied to teach bricklaying at the local college and hasn’t quite grasped the first fundamental of the course? Who knows?)

    I wanted to be President of South Africa, but they gave it to a black guy!

    I wanted to win the women’s singles at Wimbledon, but they wouldn’t let me enter. Said I had to be a woman!

    I wanted a free NHS wheelchair, but they gave it to a disabled person.

    You couldn’t make it up !!!

    Not schools per se, but not any of them know the difference between a school and a borstal anyway.

    That sex-offenders register can be a real block for wanna-be teachers can’t it, Rachel? We have so much to give.

  10. on 11 Mar 2009 at 2:15 pm Nick

    There are ‘brick walls at every turn’ because he is in prison.

    It’s one of their rules.

  11. on 11 Mar 2009 at 3:30 pm Emma

    Well Rach, if his spelling and grammar skills are astute as yours it is probably for the best he does not help form the young minds of tomorrow.

  12. on 11 Mar 2009 at 3:42 pm FrodoSaves

    So what he’s saying is we wouldn’t have had the Crusades if only Yahoo had been a bit quicker about inventing Babelfish?

    There’s blood on your hands, Silicon Valley!

    Erm, FrodoSaves – is that meant to be a post on the Translator thread?

    Incidentally, Rachel’s husband is clearly a rapist in prison – he’s been trying to ‘get into’ teachers who are training for 3 years and now he’s finally been banged up, hence the brick walls at every turn. And she has the cheek to blame the victims for rejecting and reporting him because they’d rather shag forruns? You couldn’t make it up!

    Rachel, Romford Essex

    Whoever that guy is, he must be a lonely sod. Imagine being the only educated working class white in Romford. (*Mr Burns-style shudder*) He must be some sort of deranged masochist.

  15. on 11 Mar 2009 at 9:18 pm Toekn Paki

    I is also shit, but because I is Paki I gotten the job that Rachel’s husband is not getting. I’m whery sorry… not.

  16. on 11 Mar 2009 at 9:22 pm Toekn Paki

    I is going to complain to Race and Equality commisssion about me because I is calling myself Paki. Richard Littlejohn is saying I will then get the com-pen-say-shun.

    I will get more com-pen-say-shun if I say I is also lesbian, gay, and transgender?

    I is liking this country. Wery nice people like Paul Dacre, Richard Littlejohn, Melanie Philips, and Rachel from Romford is saying all things are only give to enthnic minoritys here. Also these people are talking shit English like I is. I will tell all my brothers to swim from vater across Calais. The Brussels Eurocrats vill help them.

  17. on 11 Mar 2009 at 9:25 pm Toekn Paki

    Note: I have sixteen brothers, all born to same lesbian father.

    Note 2: We is also Muslim.

  19. on 11 Mar 2009 at 10:20 pm Danivon

    I know quite a few people who have been able to get into teacher training. All of them were white.

    None of them were illiterate morons, or odorous ocelot’s ovaries, so perhaps that’s where Rachel’s husband was going wrong.

  20. on 11 Mar 2009 at 10:35 pm Danivon

    Clearly that erroneous apostrophe means I won’t get on the teaching gravy train though.

    Kill her.

    Black Lesbian in a Wheelchair – yes it was. The comment system on this site is kind of weird.

  23. on 12 Mar 2009 at 9:10 am bolli

    Poor Rachel, she is absolutely correct in that it is very racist of the Education Department to only allow people who can pass any undergrad degree to take a PGCE. Perhaps the three years she mentions are in fact the three years it would take to become a graduate to be then allowed to take the PGCE… obviously black disabled asylum-bomber lesbian single mothers such as myself get given a PGCE on their 21st birthday even though we do not need it as the state gives us all of Rachel and her husband’s income to spend on whores and trinkets.

  24. on 16 Mar 2009 at 7:12 pm Hennessy

    Perhaps she’s right, you cannot deny that in certain professions now ethnic minority candidates are more sought after than white candidates because it shows off “diversity”.

    Oh, no, wait I must be wrong, she’s just a racist cunt. The Trotsky-ites, err, I mean the BNP are everywhere, comrade. Continue to quake in your boots, oh ye of narrow mind and liberal intentions.

  25. on 17 Mar 2009 at 12:03 am Chris

    Just goes to show you, you can’t be too careful…

  26. on 17 Mar 2009 at 1:45 pm John Smith

    Hello,
    I visited this site after seeing it referenced in a Guardian Article, and, independently, having the link forwarded to me by a friend.
    I was wondering if it strikes any of you as ironinc that you react with assumptions about the intelligence, education and good character of someone, simply because they identify themselves as coming from Essex:
    “Hurr durr, she’s from Essex so she shouldn’t be allowed to teach!”
    Change Essex to Africa, or India, or Poland, and see how it reads then.
    Just because you can spell and punctuate your sentences correctly, doesn’t make you any less bigoted and narrowminded then those who can’t.

  27. on 17 Mar 2009 at 3:17 pm Kelvin

    Hello John Smith,

    that’s an interesting position to hold, and you argue it well and with with conviction, which is to be applauded. It certainly does touch on the notion of class divisions within the British psyche and the analogy between classism and racism. I’d like to respond to it by expressing the desire to push dog poo up your nose. I hope that helps clarify things for you.

    love and kisses,

    Kelvin.

  28. on 17 Mar 2009 at 4:16 pm Alex

    John, if you read the post again, including ALL THE WORDS, you might notice that it is not her county of origin that counts against her in our opinion, but her being a self-entitled prick with a persecution complex and a chip on her shoulder about “the ethnics”.

    Now, I concede that the same might not necessarily be true of her husband, but if I had kids I wouldn’t want anyone teaching them who was arrogant, ignorant and prejudiced enough to write a post like that.

    Now you may take umbridge with our judging people negatively according to their professed opinions, attitudes and self-image, however it seems to me a far more reasonable set of criteria than any other, and judging people negatively can be so much fun.

  29. on 17 Mar 2009 at 4:40 pm John Smith

    Dearest Alex,
    If you read Rachel’s comment again, fully, you might notice that she does not, in fact, direct her ire against “the ethnics”, but against a “they” who are looking for more ethnics to fill positions. If you are going to try and belittle someone, at least make sure that there are not flaws in your argument that would be evident to the average 6 year old.
    As to her sense of self entitlement and persecution, it seems that you are reading words that appear between the lines, as she doesn’t, as far as I can see, at any point state that her husband ‘deserves’ the job, nor that he or she have been singled out in some way.
    From the original post: “I’d put good money on it being down to the fact that he’s some kind of ruddy-faced, racist cunt”. Yes, I see exactly where this references her sense of entitlement and persecution, particularly the ‘ruddy-faced’ bit, which doesn’t, in any way, suggest urban prejudice against those from more rural areas.

    Would you like to try again?

  30. on 17 Mar 2009 at 5:05 pm IL

    What the hell just happened here?

  31. on 17 Mar 2009 at 5:15 pm Kelvin

    es, I see exactly where this references her sense of entitlement and persecution, particularly the ‘ruddy-faced’ bit, which doesn’t, in any way, suggest urban prejudice against those from more rural areas.

    Romford? RURAL? John, is your sympathy for Rachel in any way based on your own rejection as a Geography teacher?

  32. on 17 Mar 2009 at 5:21 pm Kelvin

    For those poor, more rural souls who don’t understand what I’m getting at there, Romford is a town in the London Borough of Havering. It is within the M25 and within the TfL zonal system. Its town centre is formed around the highly pedestrianised Liberty shopping centre, which has an area of roughly a square mile, entirely made of concrete and broken dreams. I believe I did once see a blade of grass within the bounds of Romford, embedded in one of the pieces of dog shit I have such an urge to push up John Smith’s nose.

  33. on 17 Mar 2009 at 5:51 pm Alex

    John Smith:

    I am assuming you are new to the world of internet commentary. Firstly, no, her ire is not directed explicitly at ethnic minorities, but read a few more comments and the resentment and hatred start to show through, and then you start to see this clever little code take shape. It’s almost subtle in places, so you’ll need to look carefully. But you’ll notice this funny little paranoid fantasy that the tiny 90% minority of White Britons is under constant persecution by pro-brown people, self-hating “liberals” who should be giving jobs and benefits only to those who merit it by accident of birth.

    Secondly, commenters on SYB are tossers. Smug, self-righteous tossers who think they are the funniest, most insightful members of their generation because they can repeat a few catchphrases and put captions on a picture of a cat. Pretty much all of them, which is well below average for the internet. Even taking this into account, only Dr. Feelgood’s comment and the last word of Mrs. McClusky’s are explicitly based on any kind of class prejudice. Nick’s is just a silly pun on “wall at every turn”, quite a good one as well, and Gary’s is just one of the typically hilarious comments based on paedophilic rape which so often grace our walls, and which, as far as I can see, has no bearing on class.

  34. on 17 Mar 2009 at 7:55 pm John Smith

    Kelvin,
    Perhaps it would have been easier for you to comprehend if I had put it somewhat differently: ‘Less urbanised’, rather than ‘more rural’. Romford is less urbanised then, say, central London. I don’t quite know what to make of your apparent canine coprophilia, other then to assure you that it is not something that we have in common.

    Alex,
    I’m not particularly new to the world of internet commentary. Any naivety is an affectation.
    I’m familiar with the pro-brown-whites line, unless I’m being unwillingly naive, the post provides no link to the website or article where the comment was found, so I am offered no chance to compare it to other comments made by the same author, at least, not without actually pulling my finger out and using a search engine and five minutes of my time!
    Cheers.

  35. on 17 Mar 2009 at 10:03 pm Kelvin

    Perhaps it would have been easier for you to comprehend if I had put it somewhat differently

    Yes, that probably would have helped. I mean, ideally what would have been perfect would have been if you had an actual point. We’re taking the piss out of a racist because she lives in the suburbs and we’re sophisticated urbanites? Well shit, I hope we’ve checked the postcodes of all the other racists we’ve laid into or we could be criticising one of our own! Dog poo. All smushed in your nose, and you smelling it and everything, and when you try and use your finger to dig it out, all you do is drive it in further up into your sinuses and then it stops being a smell and just starts to be a presence that permeates your every breath.

    Proof if proof be need be that it just goes to show you can never be too careful!

  37. on 18 Mar 2009 at 9:34 am Comrade509

    What the fuck are you whingeing about?

    It is stated government policy to favour ethnic minorities over whites …

  38. on 18 Mar 2009 at 10:02 am Nelson

    John Smith. Stop being a paedo cunt on my blog. If you want an argument, I’ll have one with you somewhere else. Mail me.

    I’m much, much cleverer than you though so I’ll win and make you look like a cunt.

  39. on 18 Mar 2009 at 10:53 am millie

    I’ll win and make you look like a cunt.

    He’s already beaten you to it on that count.

  40. on 18 Mar 2009 at 11:27 am John Smith

    My, this place certainly is a bastion of informed debate in the sea of worthless, ill-informed opinion, poisonous bigotry and so forth that is the tittyweb.
    Nelson, I take your comment as an admission, essentially, that this blog exists solely for the purpose of allowing you to mock and belittle others. The sad thing is that you don’t even have the balls to do so in a forum where those that you are mocking know that you are doing so, and can answer back to you.
    So ends my excursion into spEak You’re bRanes, thank you, and good luck.

    Disregard that. I fuck children.

  41. on 18 Mar 2009 at 11:29 am Alex

    John Smith: clever as you are, which is clearly very clever as you use big long words and no swears, you seem to have misunderstood the hermeneutic methods of spEak You’re bRanes. Apart from posts on specific, named commenters, which we have termed “regular twats”, our method is generally to read each comment as an integral text, and mock it solely on the implications therein. This is of course, not always particularly sophisticated. Sometimes, a HYSer will, through his or her post, come across as a cunt, and we will see no need to be more specific in our criticism, though I believe Nelson and Kelvin went through a phase of speculation as to the species to which said genital belonged. Naturally, with the so-called “regular twats”, a picture of their personality begins to shine through and we can indulge in hearty speculation. However, except where, in relation to the comment, it quite obviously results in hypocrisy, stupidity or downright mendacity (for example Dave M here, or the entirety of this post), the actual location of the poster is normally not included in the joke, for the simple reason that it’s not funny. Though I believe someone did once make fun of a poster for complaining about a local influx of some kind of ethnic undesirable, and their location was an area entirely devoid of any kind of ethnic diversity. A posh, leafy, middle-class area if I remember rightly.

    As for this particular post, the crux of the joke is that her husband has been turned down for courses several times, almost certainly because he lacked the necessary traits and qualifications, and his wife, unable to accept that the man she married may be too stupid, aggressive, inarticulate or untrustworthy for the profession, has latched onto a tabloid myth as an excuse, and one cynically concocted to incite hatred and distrust of immigrants and non-whites. Nelson seems to have jumped to the conclusion that her husband is as self-entitled and delusional as his wife, and that he believes the same bollocks. The implication of this is that it was the particular combination of stupidity, aggression, inarticulacy and self-entitlement that we call “racism” that made him a poor candidate. “Romford” is included only for the sake of completeness. You might as well criticise the BBC for allowing posters to specify location, and the subsequent implication that one may judge their perspective or validity from it. If you read Nelson’s comment again, you will notice no reference to class or location, only to personal attitudes and the ruddiness of his face, far more likely to describe perpetual anger than rural lifestyle.

    However, I understand that you may yourself live in Romford, and would prefer that we did not make fun of its residents. If this is the case, please contact Nelson, writing “Request for local impunity” in the subject line, and ask that he find and remove all posts listing Romford as a location. We on spEak You’re bRanes take readers’ complaints as seriously as anything else, and I am quite sure you will receive a prompt reply.

    Comrade509, you’re an idiot. No, really, you are. Read the article again, carefully, read what the legislation actually is, and then punch yourself really hard in the groin. Trust me on this.

  42. on 18 Mar 2009 at 11:49 am Kelvin

    “Romford” is included only for the sake of completeness.

    To be fair though, Romford is a fucking horrible place filled to overflowing with Sun readers and other cunts who’ll bang on for weeks about some immigrant being given a 50p sticking plaster on the NHS but didn’t lift a finger when their local council pissed away millions on a swimming pool whose roof fell in after five years, so actually yes, I would count it as absolutely fair to mock people on the basis of living there, and have done so. But that’s not based on any urban snobbishness, just actual familiarity with Romford.

  43. on 18 Mar 2009 at 1:48 pm Alex

    I was going to say, there was one cheap shot at Romford, but worded rather pleasantly.

  44. on 19 Mar 2009 at 2:04 pm Lord Melchett

    “Romford” sounds a bit rude….
