Money grabbing,self centred, low life are just a few descriptions that spring to mind
I may add some more after the watershed.
OK, Iâm confused, the way I read it is that they want Private Sector investment to generate jobs for the âdisplaced communitiesâ so they start earning their own money and start contributing to the local economy.
Maybe Iâm missing something 
Surely better to do that back home? - for the economic migrants of course.
If youâre not an asset, youâre worthless and thereâs a lot of potential slave labour there.
@BTripz they have built their own internal economy out of necessity and now some people want to be in control of that, because they see an opportunity.
No profit making big business is going to help these people. Outside interference put them in this situation for profit, so handing them over to foreign profit making entities, is probably a bad idea.
We could just stop causing the problems in the first place, but thatâs not so profitable.
This is news posted it on smiled thread live earlier.

I read it as soon the aid groups and charities would be giving out hard cash and they could take that off the displaced people as well.
or am I missing something?

Kleenex have announced that they will be scrapping âMansizeâ branding from their tissue boxes after 60 years because of lobbyists claiming that it is sexist. Am i the only one who finds this absolutely ridiculous? Does this make me a sexist male chauvinist pig? Who are these lobbyists i wonder, and how sad must their lives be.
So have the PC mob asked Mothercare to change their name yet?

Interestingly on the BBC it says:
ââŚThe Advertising Standards Authority - which regulates adverts in the UK - told the BBC it had not received any complaints about the product, but it was carrying out âa significant amount of work around gender stereotypes in adsâ.
Plans include setting new standards on adverts that feature stereotypical gender roles or characteristics, and cracking down on those which mock people for not conforming to stereotypesâŚâ
Political correctness gone absofuckingloutely mental.
Tbf tissues aimed at âladiesâ should be banned as Iâm sure theyâre just as sexist arenât they?
Iâve had enough of this shit now. Itâs frankly mental (apologies, I mean âWomentalâ).

The PC lobbyists clearly donât understand what us men used them for anyway. Perhaps they could be re branded âKleenex Whackoffsâ.

This isnât in the news, but I really hate the larger packets of crisps that are entitled âgrab bagsâ. I can take or leave crisps. I normally leave them because their nutritional content is only really suitable for people seeking to become very fat bastards. If the missus secretes a packet in my lunch, I generally donate it to a crisp lover.
Thatâs not what bothers me.
Itâs the word âgrabâ and the word âbagâ.
I donât know - maybe crisp connoisseurs use sophisticated means of releasing their crispy foodstuffs, such as attaching helium balloons to the artery blockers before directing them to a nearby till with a battery powered fan.
Maybe they sell crisps in other things than bags, such as boxes, caskets or iron maidens.
For me, theyâve always been sold in bags. I have always grabbed those bags before consumption.
The only level on which it works as something new is as a kind of imperative aimed at the caveman demographic.
âGrab bagâ might be an order, but I donât like that interpretation much either.
That said, I would be very interested to hear if the inside of these oversized cardiac assassins bore another command, âEat crispsâ.
It would confirm my only working theory

I want to know why they only put enough crisps in every size of bag to only fill a quarter of the bag when you look in after initially opening the package.
I have to eat at least two bags at a sitting to think that I have had my fill.
and you cant get Marmite or Bovril flavour in the Philippines.
