Yep, Tory win is on the cards, the SNP / Labour Fife Council coalition will probably make it a landslide

I am not a fan of the politics of offence and victimhood, but on the other hand I don't like pr*ts who think it is funny to deliberately offend people.. What a dilemma.. |

“Chavs to the left of me, pikeys to the right, here I am shopping in Lidls with you.” that is funny The play on "stuck in the middle / shopping in Lidl's" is clever, but otherwise dire. The "window licker" is deeply unpleasant. But ... it was eight years ago, he's (sort of) apologised, and it's up to the Tories whether they consider him fit to be their candidate. (And for the electorate to decide whether he's an appropriate councillor) Personally I wouldn't vote for anyone who used the expression "window licker" without a craven apology and evidence of a change in attitude. |

Yup, it is, totally encapsulates the Lidl experience in Fife at least, if I were to make an edit it would be replacing "Pikey" with "Roma". Just love watching the staff run around keeping an eye on them as the the local tea leafs walk out with a bottle in their pocket. Remember the people who will be voting here are the ones who, if they accidently entered Lidls, would mistake it for a foodbank, Oh look Hamish, Comte de Senneval Champagne Brut, only £10.99 |

Never mentioned the Windae Lickers for the simple reason that it makes me uneasy even though it is a commonly used term i this area |

I wouldn't vote for somebody who used either expression. Not sure why you haven't suggested the use of the word "Pikey" equally disqualifying? It is a vile phrase and the use of it is as offensive as using a racial epithet for black people or any other group. At a time we rightly condemn anti-Semitism, perhaps it is as well to remember the other racial group singled out for total extermination by the Nazis. |

Well, it's nice to see that this place is a hotbed of anti-Roma racism. And to think I thought it would be more civilised than Facebook......

Spend a lot of my time highlighting the problems of the travellers and Gypsies and the new influx of Roma who were the first through the doors when the gas chambers were opened, but the reality is we will always take the pish out of those who are different and it is a no different from the Jackies and Culshies, Teuchters and weegies or tales of teachers in Fife teaching English as a second language to the locals, will get back to it tonight but in the old forum it was well discussed. Bouldering's a bastard in Fife. |

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pikeysums up why pikey is not a term anyone with an ounce of common sense or decency should be using (IMO)
BTW I shop at LIDL every week... So do most other people round where I live. Hence they doubled the size of the store last year

Hard to think of many others who could claim that title, how many could you name that didn't stick half the National GDP in their backpocket. How many could you name who did everything out of civic duty and for the love of their country. His war record for the Motherland, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_service_of_Ian_Smith the Motherland that betrayed him and every other Rhodesian who fought for us in our hour of need. |

Drom your link. Pikey is not a racial group, the term is used to describe anyone who lives in a caravan or shares the same values and "culture" of "the travelling community", and whose main sources of income are as follows:
I do not use the term Pikey but when it is used I am not too bothered as it is a catchall term for the various travelling groups that live in my Fife, they make their living much as described in the Urban Dictionary as the have been hounded of the land by greedy farmers and councillors from all of your political parties. The berries are not being picked as the pikies have nowhere to park their vans and caravans, the local papers are always full of people asking the Council and Police to move them on, must be depressing but I am sure they are happy to know some people get upset if they are called a bad name. The current situation where certain travelling clans are turning to more violent and organised crimiminal activities is only a nartural progress from there previous situation. I really cant be arset with people shouting racist when they are, as political activists, responsible for the total exclusion of the traveller peoples. The latest influx of Roma has more to do with post Hitler and Stalin and the fall of the Eastern Bloc |

In other words, at the last possible stage, when everybody else had been eliminated. The redistributions might be interesting when available, at least to see where any that went to the SNP came from. |

Thought it would been earlier than that but Fife SNP and Labour deserve a kick up the arse, do not think they know how many of their own supporters they have pissed off, have I ever said I hate Dalgetty Bay, souless place, Dollytown had more heart |
