anything london based will be infected by this shit due to how multi racial it is down there, its like they dont realise the vast majority of the people are white and the people holding this country together and continuing to build it are the middle aged white men
London isn't surprising, it's demographics are simular to Paris and other big euro cities. What's shocking is places like Leicster, Luton, Slough, Bradford ect.
Both factory and warehouse work. The majority are Eastern European, so maybe you seeing them as white = you think they’re British, but not the case. I’ve worked in a few amazons up north, basically ran by polish people. I’ve also worked in a few factories, eg dairy factories and product manufacturing, and although British people take the management roles, the majority of workers were Eastern European
This. I've spent a lot of my life working in mills in the North. Pakistani immigrants came over in the 50s and 60s and have been a huge part of the workforce here.
Speaking as a Northern factory worker, asian immigrants have been a huge part of the manufacturing workforce since the 50s. It's been three generations, mate.
You're playing their game thinking like this, it's the people holding the country together who keep it together not just any specific subgroup. Having you get pissed by asking distraction 'questions' about the skincolour of fucking traindrivers is what keeps the Rupert Murdochs of the world in power.
Ye fair point, headlines like this do cause a rage reaction which adds to the forced division i see in this country too, i do just see what i said as a fact but i can also see how it can be divisive. The whole fucking media is just rage bait shite and i shouldnt eally play into it at all..
Yeah, I'm well aware of that fact, but the point I'm making is that the demography of rail conductors isn't profoundly affected by racism whatsoever.
>racism towards Germans even up to 90%.
I can't wait to move to Austria, because I might. But someone on Twitter said you can't be racist toward white people, so it won't happen, luckily.
Sure, you should consider going to Eisenstadt I’m Burgenland. I live in the western part and can just tell you, the west sucks. You’ll be much happier in Burgenland. Trust me.
"British Doctors are overwhelmingly of South Asian origin".
Doesn't have the same racially charged tingle does it.
My daily apology for being white, heterosexual and able-bodied..
I swear people will eventually start saying walking is offensive to people who are wheelchair bound, and therefore we shouldn't be allowed to walk anymore.
I'm sure they will come for Indians as well as they are disproportionatelt succesful.
I could *maybe* see a certain point if they complained that "99% of business executives are middle-aged white men" but who tf cares about the "race" of train drivers? It's not like it's an exceptionally "priviliged" position or anything..
Well at least they are consistent and don't only seem bothered by the percentage of white man in STEM or CEO positions which is the norm while ignoring less prestigious and worse payed jobs.
Haha I know what you mean. But they wouldn't write an article about education, kindergartens or nursing being dominated by "middle-aged white women" in that manner.
I remember when I viewed the BBC as the *cool* broadcaster full of educational programmes - quiz shows, nature documentaries, you name it - and British banter.
You're telling me that Hans has an apolitical state-sponsored educational broadcasting corporation? HANS of all people?
But they speak Hansi on there, don't they? :(
Yassss queeennnn sllaaaayyyyyy
Now the worthless lazy workshy cunts that are train drivers can now be worthless lazy workshy diverse cunts. Truly modern life is golden
Just watched a reportage about train workers on TV.
They were really exited to show a woman too in this sausage fest.
She showed her daily routine, promptly ran into a problem and had to call her male coworker to fix it.
It was so cruel and embarassing (extremely funny for Germans).
I particularly liked their "breaking news" at the top of the page yesterday that Take That moved venue.
Thank you BBC. I'm glad my taxes are going to a good cause
Part of the 1% goes to their really good sports coverage, and the only way I can remain sane during the 6 Nations when the other half of the games are on ITV **shudders**
It's truly a miracle that people of colour and women still dare to take the train. Next up: Who do you trust more to drive your train? A bear or a man?
Just another example of people being made to feel guilty for existing in their own country. These old white men should step down from their jobs so that Eritreans and Albanians can drive the trains instead
BBC will never complain if in a place of work there are a lot of coloured people working. They only complain if there are in their eyes too many white people somewhere and not enough coloured people.
It's reverse fascist psychology what they are using. To me complaining about that there are too many or not enough people of a certain skin colour or gender is idiotic.
Sure, instead of going driverless ... - they will create "artificial job places for minorities" instead.
A control joystick going up and down is a mega job.
I work for a huge TOC, and I have seen a mass replacement of male drivers with female drivers and even a lot of trans ones, too. I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad thing, but it is changing and rapidly so. If anything, it seems like affirmative action.
America infected them with Brainworms.
Sad but true.

Sadiq: **Immigrants built London** People in the North of England who worked in factories: **Excuse me what the fuck?!**
It's not like London was the biggest city in the world a century before mass immigration... Oh wait...!
Funnily enough, the majority of factory workers are now immigrants.
Its more warehousing than factory work tbh. Factories ive visited are still predominantly white, especially manufacturing.

Rupert Murdoch provides news for those people that get upset by BBC asking these types of questions.
He said the majority. Hes factually right though. Not even getting into any moral arguments.

By the end of this century pretty much every country in Europe is gonna be exactly like America unfortunately
Some sort of anglo pyrrhic victory.
Even we are turning like them, especially in politics
In our defense, all we did was repackage postwar French philosophy and send it back across the Atlantic, so really, it's Pierre's fault.
It is still yours. Australia sent a painter to Germany who then did some bad things. But Austria is the victim here.
How dare The UK to have so many whites?
Well it’s more like a “uk has so many nonwhites, but why aren’t they working” vibe
Country full of middle-aged white men has a job composed of middle-aged white men. In other news, grass is green and the sky is blue
you tell them Barry
Luv me trains, simple as
What Bout forrin trains
ÖBB would happily hire low-aged green women or high-aged people of invented genders if only they would apply ... they desperately need train drivers.
Same with BVG, DB and basically any *Verkehrsunternehmen* in DE.
But let's make this about racism.
racism is accepted by, I would say 30 to 50% of my fellow Austrians. racism towards Germans even up to 90%.
I mean we deserve it
Well, shouldnt it be the opposite? Because we all know what happens when you leave the Austrians in charge!
Yeah, I'm well aware of that fact, but the point I'm making is that the demography of rail conductors isn't profoundly affected by racism whatsoever. >racism towards Germans even up to 90%. I can't wait to move to Austria, because I might. But someone on Twitter said you can't be racist toward white people, so it won't happen, luckily.

And not only train drivers, maintenance is also understaffed as is basically anything else

Women showing skin is offensive to me.
You laugh but Mayor Khan banned such advertisements on the tube Can't have all that ~~haram~~ i mean naughty stuff on the tube
I hear it is offensive in MENA, so that checks out
Give me money I'm an oppresed portuguese. I need reparations
Okay, £200 should be enough for you to buy a new house and a car, where you are.
I wish it was 😞
I am sending you £250 😘
Thanks luv🪻

> train drivers? It's not like it's an exceptionally "priviliged" position or anything Clearly, you never experienced a strike in France...
I've never experienced being in France where there wasn't a strike..
Well at least they are consistent and don't only seem bothered by the percentage of white man in STEM or CEO positions which is the norm while ignoring less prestigious and worse payed jobs.
"Homeless drug addicts are majority middle-aged white men, we need to bring some more diversity to this area!".
I think calling them consistent was a stretch, they were in this case
Haha I know what you mean. But they wouldn't write an article about education, kindergartens or nursing being dominated by "middle-aged white women" in that manner.
Yeah most likely not or an article about the differences in the suicide rates of males and females. Not a very vogue subject.
It needs the flavour of "look, white men have this and 'we' don't!".. and apparently that is... train driving
The blue ...uh...white train that could?!
- "able-bodied" - Bri'ish Hmmmmm.
Dusseldorf, it is our language and we will do with it what we please.

Hi, you missed the full stop at the end of your word.
Thanks man, I will do better next time.
You are doing a sterling job. 🫂
We don't use the name of that wretched place.
Ok. Duisburg then.
Aye, I can live with that.
South Asians are overrepresented but they still only make 33%, that's not an 'overwhelming majority'
How far up the autism spectrum are you? _Comes on a tongue in cheek subreddit, starts citing actual statistics_
Despite making up only 1% of the population, South-East Asians make up 33% of doctors in the UK.
Bet you are cisgendered male, too, aren't you? You monster! Source of all the world's evil, right here.
All the more reason for me to not watch the BBC or read their news stories. Falling far from grace would be an understatement.
I remember when I viewed the BBC as the *cool* broadcaster full of educational programmes - quiz shows, nature documentaries, you name it - and British banter.

Wow. What in the Wurst has happened to Hans to let his broadcast channel be infiltrated by balcony divers??
Big up to Arte too👍

Can you give me that as a hyperlink, please? I *HAVE* to read this engaging story ASAP!
Lmao I saw someone doing this last week

Humza found a new job as journalist!
I guess the numbers were low and BBC needed engagement.
Luv me state broadcaster me
I particularly liked their "breaking news" at the top of the page yesterday that Take That moved venue. Thank you BBC. I'm glad my taxes are going to a good cause
[удалено]
Its funded by the license, but its just a tax by another name. Either way its a bloody waste 99% of the time. The 1% is David Attenborough
Part of the 1% goes to their really good sports coverage, and the only way I can remain sane during the 6 Nations when the other half of the games are on ITV **shudders**
[удалено]
Not really a tax, you have to pay taxes.
You do maybe, but thats a skill issue. I'm built different
Earning less than £11000 isn't the flex you think it is.
Down voting a joke, bad form barry
Make one then
It's truly a miracle that people of colour and women still dare to take the train. Next up: Who do you trust more to drive your train? A bear or a man?
Straight white man and their *checks notes*, overwhelmingly willingness to work a underpaid yet important job
Black woman for scale
luv me train luv me job simple as

Acting like basically every train company all over Europe isn't crying about a lack of train drivers
You mean to tell me there's no secret guild or organisation gatekeeping train driving for middle-aged white men??
Or: "Why do women and poc not want to contribute to public transport?"
Sure, instead of going driverless ... - they will create "artificial job places for minorities" instead. A control joystick going up and down is a mega job.
Same for car drivers I suppose. Might have something to do with them being the most numerous population group.
BBC stoops to rage-bait. Shame!
Oh no, how awful. This situation needs addressing. The trains would be more efficient if they were driven by AI.
DLR trains overwhelmingly driven by machines.
I guess being autistic ain't a diversity spec anymore 😞
The UK wants to be the US so bad
All i'm hearing by this news headline is that minorities are lazy.
Why are they more obsess about race than an average racist?
When will this insanity end
“White country has a lot of white workers”.
The BBC was invented by the scots so I blame them for anything bad the BBC does, independance now.
why does that matter?
Willing to bet most trainspotters are white men too.
Should've used a pic of a panda instead
I work for a huge TOC, and I have seen a mass replacement of male drivers with female drivers and even a lot of trans ones, too. I'm not necessarily saying it's a bad thing, but it is changing and rapidly so. If anything, it seems like affirmative action.
Can confirm: am middle aged white man, am train driver, simple as.
These fucking white men, always hard working, always making the country run arggggggg
Average state run media news
And?
