Labor unions prevent nonunion power workers from helping in NJ.

[007]

I'm here legally.
It was goose green and no American assistance was given.
You are clueless, lacking in intellect and a pathetic troll.
Your ancestors too were immigrants, you too therefore are a product of chancers infesting this nation.
I'm a British Citizen not a subject.

Oh thanks for finding that new story which debunks the entire thing:

Crews from Decatur Utilities headed up there this week, but Derrick Moore, one of the Decatur workers, said they were told by crews in New Jersey that they can't do any work there since they're not union employees.

The crews that are in Roanoke, Virginia say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help from Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

Understandably, Moore said they're frustrated being told "thanks, but no thanks."

Huntsville Utilities said they were not turned away and are up in storm ravaged areas working.



So what do we know? One guy, ONE GUY, made a baseless claim with zero evidence and never named a union or a person - and now the Utility company has come out and called bullshit on this guy.

Thanks SF!

Q.E.D.

the same text is in the original linked story, genius

The union workers have welcomed the nonunion workers with open arms. They have provided fruit baskets and local maps.

The stoy I posted was bogus and I apologize for posting it.



Now Damo, would you please delete this cesspool of hostility? Let them vent their frustrations someplace else.

LMAO... no Darla, but it is most embarrassing for you...

apparently NJ has everything under control... no help needed.

Yell did elaborate:

apparently this story is true

poor liberals

blah blah blah.

Seventeen pages of bullshit. Including several sources debunking the story.

Did anyone ever go back to the original story in WB's OP?

UPDATE: According to News 12 New Jersey and NJ.com Jersey Central Power & Light spokesman Ron Morano said that JCP&L has welcomed all out-of-state crews.

“We have not turned away any help,” he said. “Absolutely not.”

Wassamattu u?

oh. Who's the new troll from Britain? Another sock puppet?

 

[Guns Guns Guns]

I'm here legally.

So you also lied in post 221?

It was goose green

Goose Green is in the Malvinas.

Golders Green is where the Argentinians would bury the remains of your pathetic military, after they crush your tiny Navy, if the USA allows it.

no American assistance was given.

Really? Read and learn, you dozy cunt.

U.S. Secretary of State Alexander Haig announced that the United States would prohibit arms sales to Argentina and provide material support for British operations. Both Houses of the U.S. Congress passed resolutions supporting the U.S. action siding with the United Kingdom.[SUP][28][/SUP] An important factor was military support. The U.S. provided the United Kingdom with military equipment ranging from submarine detectors to the latest missiles.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War#cite_note-28[/SUP]

President Ronald Reagan approved the Royal Navy's request to borrow the Sea Harrier-capable amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2) if the British lost an aircraft carrier.

The United States Navy developed a plan to help the British man the ship with American military contractors, likely retired sailors with knowledge of the Iwo Jima's systems.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War#cite_note-usni20120627-31[/SUP]

France provided dissimilar aircraft training so Harrier pilots could train against the French aircraft used by Argentina.[SUP]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War#cite_note-32[/SUP]

Chile gave support to Britain in the form of Intelligence about Argentine military and radar early warning...

You are clueless, lacking in intellect and a pathetic troll.

Your incination to hurl abuse rather than discuss an issue in a civilized adult manner evidences this.

So you admit you are a pathetic Brit-troll?

Your ancestors too were immigrants, you too therefore are a product of chancers infesting this nation.

They were? Cite your evidence for this claim, Brit-shit.

I'm a British Citizen not a subject.

You are patently not American, then, which means your laughable claim to have a patriotic duty to the USA is as false as your repeated lies in this thread.

Your allegiance is to the withered, wizened monarch Elizabeth II, and soon you'll owe fealty to the odious Charles, who famously wished he was a tampon.

 

[007]

Never once said I was an illegal.
You are a liar and a troll.

No real us assistance was offered under the NATO agreements when the United Kingdom if Great Britain and Northern Ireland was attacked by the Argentines.

 

[Canceled.2014.1]

This is America.

This is an American political forum.

Who gives a fuck about "Maggie" or anything connected with a tiny, impoverished third world shithole like England?

This is only an American forum? Hmmm, I don't think Damo is aware of that fact.

nor is anyone else except the xenophobic troll who apparently believes the internet only exists in america

 

[Cancel 2018. 3]

oh. Who's the new troll from Britain? Another sock puppet?

how is your pathetic forum going? you claimed you were never coming back here...yet you can't stay away.

Who said it's "only an American forum"?

 

[Guns Guns Guns]

Never once said I was an illegal.

So when I asked if you were here legally and you answered "no", you were lying.

Good to know.

You are a liar and a troll.

Looks like you're the liar. I have posted proof.

No real us assistance was offered under the NATO agreements when the United Kingdom if Great Britain and Northern Ireland was attacked by the Argentines.

LOL, so you're denying the facts I posted above?

I never said I was illegal.
I never lied.
You posted nothing but abuse.
Your apparent facts are unreliable.
Support under NATO agreements, if one is attacked all are attacked.
Did that happen?
The same response that would happen if the USA was attacked?
No it didn't.
No troops on the ground, no support.
You don't appreciate the massive support the British have given the USA in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Fortunately the vast majority of Americans do.
Particulary the ones that really matter, the US military.
The opinion of a childish attention seeker like you matters not!

Nowadays the former Democrats in the South are Republican, and you have 'em.

Wrong. Geographic party affiliations throughout The South are essentially unchanged from the Antebellum period. For your Wiki theory to be correct, we all would have had to switch neighborhoods and towns, along with political affiliation. Yours is a retarded theory.

Aren't you a refugee from Boston?

I never said I was illegal.

In post 221 I asked if you were here legally. Your answer was "no".

I never lied.

As has been amply demonstrated, you have.

You posted nothing but abuse.

So you feel abused by facts? Interesting.

Your apparent facts are unreliable.

Naturally, you can provide evidence to support that contention...can't you?

Support under NATO agreements, if one is attacked all are attacked.
Did that happen?

Who said it did?

What was provided is evidence that the US and other nations helped formerly-Great Britain when it's ridiculous imperialistic pretensions erupted into conflict over the Maldives.

The same response that would happen if the USA was attacked?

How much support could America obtain from your tiny, weak and impoverished homeland?

No it didn't.

Clearly you weren't trained in debate at uni. Denying facts without proving them wrong is insufficient. You lose again.

No troops on the ground, no support.

So unless America physically invaded the Maldives to further your ludicrous Argentine land grab, you don't consider us to have saved your bacon?

Hilarious.

The U.S. provided the United Kingdom with military equipment ranging from submarine detectors to the latest missiles.

Here's what a Tory MP said: “It’s all over,” exclaimed Alan Clark, a Conservative member of Parliament. “We’re a third world country, no good for anything.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/27/opinion/with-friends-like-these.html?_r=0

He was, and is, right.

You don't appreciate the massive support the British have given the USA in Afghanistan and Iraq. Fortunately the vast majority of Americans do. Particulary the ones that really matter, the US military.

How do you explain this?

Lt Gen Benjamin Freakley told the Times that British commanders failed... he had been "scathing" in meetings with his British counterparts.

The opinion of a childish attention seeker like you matters not!

If that were true, would you be continuing to enter the lists in your clumsy, puerile fashion?

What doesn't matter, except as a source of amusement, is the ill-informed dribbling of an economic asylum seeker from Limeyland.
