She and Dad went to study and came back to T&T in 1961

The flim clip shows most in suit and tie  .. .that was how one dressed when dey traveled back den.

[pecan]

I wonder how long that voyage took

Mom thinks is was between 7 and 11 days .. she say it too long ago

[Bakes]

Very good clip....and yeah, I think suit and tie was de order of de day, allyuh ent see de fella who was pongin' de iron when they was talking about them finding wuk fuh people?

But on another note, I was pleasantly surprised by the humanist, almost warm tone of the piece.  Very progressive, especially given the times.

[just cool]

It was a documentary bone head. how yuh expect them to portray england, as a hostile place to discourage folks from comming? it's just like ah tourist ad for a tourist island, white sandy beaches with smiling faces every where, we all know that's misleading, they don't show the slums, poverty and the criminal activity in that said island, well the same goes for that doc.

they needed man power to rebuild england after the war, it was in no wise a noble gesture, so don't romanticize about it. i happen to know for a fact that those said ppl was heavily discriminated against and was called all sorts of degrading names like wogs, black face , nignog , the ever famous nigger , mr  blacky , Jacobin's, monkey men  and all sorts of f##kry, plus they were not that welcomed. minorities in england still have it hard today , far more back then. just look up darkus howe on line, he happens to be a journalist and black power activist in england, he's from POS and has lived and schooled in england since the 60ies. his literature would give a more accurate depiction than i ever could.            positive

The irony of a dunce like you calling me a bonehead...ah man who couldn't spell CAT even if yuh tell him it start with C and A.  The same dunce who once famously referred to his own kids as 'mongrels'.

If you notice there was an undercurrent of xenophobia expressed in the clip, with some officials worried (and you can't blame them) about the influx of West Indians into their community.  Many of these immigrants were bringing with them few skills and little education, which means that they were coming into the working or 'blue collar' class.  If jobs couldn't be found for them they would have to go on the 'dole'...which was expressedly stated in the piece.  Maybe you don't know what the 'dole' is.

Contrary to what you assert, there was no shortage of laborers in the UK following WWII, not when you had poor lads from Ireland, Scotland and Wales eager to find employment in England...if anything the West Indian laborers would be in competition with them.  Laborers aside, what of the women and the children...you think is only men coming over?  I doh need to go look up no 'Darkus Howe' to hear how racist England was at that time...there are many others who have eloquently indicated what the environment was.  If you were following closely you would have seen that I also alluded to that, it could have been entirely too easy for the documentary to similar take this xenophobic course, instead they spoke of these West Indians as 'British citizens' and spoke of them having a right to live and work in England like any others, and that they were England's responsibility.  That is what I said was 'progressive'.

But of course you just too preocupied with your fight agains the white devils (the same "devils" you consorting with I might add) to let rational thought anywhere near your fragile mind.  I could go on further to illustrate the short comings in your argument, but my sense is that I'd only be wasting my time.  Your children being mongrels, one can only assume that they were sired by ah mutt, and that being the case I know better than to argue with pothounds.

oh oh ..  de man call B&S a 'bone head'

doh worry Peong...I peep dat since last night but was too tie up with what ah was supposed tuh be doing tuh bother respond then.

I wasn't even referring to you guy, but since yuh like the cap and it fit yuh so well, wear it !!!!! and since ah know how yuh really feel about me i'll keep my distance. what you're spurring is mare words with your childish insults bout literacy, yuh think i give a shit what you say, hell no !!! you is a little boy and it shows in the way you confront and deal with ppl, no grown man with a grown up disposition does talk to folks with such indignance and malice. the reality is you don't know me and whatever you may assume about me only goes in the drain, i have to be a fool to take you seriously, and like i said before and i'll say it again , you are a low life with no class whatsoever , and not even all the eloquent phrases in the world could save you from who you are, BC it comes out with very little to no provocation at all, which is indicative of a real evil foul mouth, disrespectful, unkind, spiteful, disruptive, mean-spirited, confrontational, badminded, crude, grudging, cynical, heartless, judgemental, unapologetic, hateful, cold hearted, offensive, rotten to the core human being.  in respect to my children, how low does one have to be to bring a man's family into a simple discussion to win ah argument on line, anyone with an ounce of self respect will not resort to that kind of common behavior to prove a point, regardless as to how insulted they may have felt. i'm not even gonna waste time like other brothers on this board arguing back and forth with the likes of you, go in peace my friend, later for all that nonsense. you have no shame and void of any decency.         
        unnecessary controntation is an evil way.                 peace.

[Bakes]

I wasn't even referring to you guy, but since yuh like the cap and it fit yuh so well, wear it !!!!!

You could really do better than to try and pretend yuh wasn't referring to me...seeing that every single comment besides mine was limited to the shirt and tie man was wearing back then.  Exactly which of the other 'boneheads' yuh was referring to?  Nobody else touched on the social climate but yours truly...so who exactly are you accusing of romanticizing the times?

and since ah know how yuh really feel about me i'll keep my distance.

lol, you acting like me and you is used tuh pitch marbles or something, 'bout "how I really feel about [you]".  Not you who once tell me 'bout man will make mih suck on cold steel or some kinda badjohn talk so? You kicksy yes.  I feel no particular way about you fella, you flatter yuhself to think I spend anytime at all thinking about you.

what you're spurring is mare words with your childish insults bout literacy, yuh think i give a shit what you say, hell no !!! you is a little boy and it shows in the way you confront and deal with ppl, no grown man with a grown up disposition does talk to folks with such indignance and malice.

I take it that yuh looking fuh company in de sandbox den...eh li'l boy?

the reality is you don't know me and whatever you may assume about me only goes in the drain, i have to be a fool to take you seriously, and like i said before and i'll say it again , you are a low life with no class whatsoever , and not even all the eloquent phrases in the world could save you from who you are, BC it comes out with very little to no provocation at all, which is indicative of a real evil foul mouth, disrespectful, unkind, spiteful, disruptive, mean-spirited, confrontational, badminded, crude, grudging, cynical, heartless, judgemental, unapologetic, hateful, cold hearted, offensive, rotten to the core human being.

Damn...all dat.  I tort we was boys?  Ah guess now ah know how yuh really feel about mih.

in respect to my children, how low does one have to be to bring a man's family into a simple discussion to win ah argument on line, anyone with an ounce of self respect will not resort to that kind of common behavior to prove a point, regardless as to how insulted they may have felt.

Me ent bring yuh chirren into nutten, you did.  I simply evoke your very own words to illustrate your mindset.

i'm not even gonna waste time like other brothers on this board arguing back and forth with the likes of you, go in peace my friend, later for all that nonsense. you have no shame and void of any decency.

Yes iyah, shake off Satan.  Forward ever.
