New footage shows Brit strolling out of air crash.

Featured Replies

Initially, his parents told media it wasn't their son. Did they ever recant that?

    Acquiring British citizenship does not make an Indian British. If I were to get Indian citizenship, do you think the media would refer to me as an Indian man?

  • Same goes for Americans, who are the Americans? The real Americans. Think before you write anything stupid

  • Whatever, but how cool was he strolling out, checking his phone. He was reported in all the UK news as British.

The person I saw leaving the area looked like an Indian.

My online newspaper did not, and I am part of the world.   Fact check!!!!! 

 

Neither did the video he posted... 

Why do you care about brits since you are australian?

Are you ashamed that he British?
He doesn't fit you narrative of what a Brit looks like?
What is exactly your issue with the man? He isn’t white enough for you?

 

Issue is with your baiting and deliberate provocation...   

 

You want there to be a discussion about nationality so you can gaslight people with the exact comments you've attempted to gaslight me with above - This is your whole modus-operandi - bait and provoke, wait for the responses, gaslight and claim moral highground...

You're making a distinction without a meaningful difference to the context of the story of the crash that killed 270 nor this, apparently, sole survivor. 

 

If an Irish person had gained British citizenship, would you be be equally butthurt about some perceived challenge to YOUR British-ness? 

 

Its NOT about you. 

 

270 people are dead for crying out loud. 

 

Who gives a FF about your Britishness?

Point is Richard seems to think I made this up.

I read mostly the British press, and they all wrote that he was British.

Richard might be embarrassed about him, but I am proud of my fellow Brit survivor, but to be honest cringe about the ugly Brits like Richard.

 

Nope... I haven't said you've made up his nationality, nor have I claimed he is not a British National...   Again you twist comments and gaslight like the true spineless weasel you are...

 

I've accused you of concentrating on his nationality for no other reason than to deliberately provoke the forum into debate about his nationality...    and you have now done so in two different threads.

The title of the very video you linked doesn’t even refer to Vishwashkumar Ramesh as a “Brit” — it simply calls him the “Air India survivor".....

.....Why? ...... Because his nationality is irrelevant to the actual story: a man survived a devastating crash. That’s the focus.

 

But had he been an Indian national, you wouldn’t have made your two smug bait posts - because you know full well there’d be no opportunity to stir the pot over nationality. Your entire angle relies on weaponising the 'British' label to provoke a reaction, then playing the wounded genius when people call you out. It’s cheap, transparent, and tiresomely predictable.... to most at least... 

 

 

 

Gotta be, don't forget these people helped rebuild Britain 10 years after the war...the Brits sat on their arses waiting for all these hard workers to rebuild parts of London and Cardiff...and not forgetting the NHS which had been about 10 years...my god, what would we have done without them....now the reality, when did you see a darkie on a building site, down the mines or on the blackstuff...never..and not forgetting the 1,000 years that Brits built Britain..the lazy scroungers didn't build squat, they came and scrounged for their own benefit, and fecked everything up...parasites the lot of em..and this guy was born in India and has an Indian passport, can barely speak a word of English either...good ole malcom

Definately going to avoid reserving a ticket if the plane used is a Boeing. 

When Air India 747 was blown up over the Atlantic by Sikh extremists in 1985 (Toronto to London and Delhi), it took Canadian media a while to get their heads around the fact that most of the dead were Canadian Citizens. They were initially reported as Indians. 

I stayed away for months and now I know it was a wise move .

Same  bleaters making same bleats .

Fugwit clique .

No one referred to the Jeju Air flight attendants as 'the Korean survivors'....  They were rightly described as 'Jeju Air survivors' - because in the aftermath of a crash, the airline is the relevant detail, not the survivor’s passport.

 

In this case, too, nationality is irrelevant. The fact Vishwashkumar Ramesh is a British national, that he was born in India, moved to the UK in 2003 and acquired nationality sometime after etc... has nothing to do with his survival.

 

... All forum members know that if a Frenchman is named Karim Bensaïd, or a German is called Tariq Al-Masri in any news reports on here the usual suspects will start grumbling about, origins, and ‘true nationality' etc.....

.....  And Malcy?...  He knows this perfectly well.

 

That’s why he posted what he did - not out of confusion, but with deliberate intent. It’s bait, thinly veiled under faux-plausibility. He lights the match, waits for the reaction....

 

....  He’ll start twisting replies, hurling accusations..... And when the thread spirals into exactly the chaos he engineered, he’ll sit back, proud of the fire he set - probably adding another imaginary ‘posting award’ to his mental shelf.

 

Classic Malcy.....  Same formula, different thread....

Yet you bite every time Richard and Malky boy, the old Aussie bogan pretending to be a Brit, is sitting there, chuckling to himself uncontrollably as he has reeled you in yet again.

 

I truly applaud your constant rebuttals 👋 I just wish I had your determination, vocabulary and passion. But I don't. However, I do enjoy your bickering. It's hard to pick a winner. Normally it's deuce when I run out of steam.

Well I can’t help it if you two dinosaurs don’t like Indian people in the UK.

I have made a couple of good work friends in the UK with Indian parents and thought they were better mannered and generally nicer people than the average UK white person.

adarkie?
you and Richard’s bigoted views belong in the 1950’s.

The world, and the especially the UK has moved on thankfully. And it isn’t going back no matter how hard you moan.

So suck it up boys.

 

I think there might be a touch of jealousy from you two to be honest, that they have worked hard and made successes of themselves and made the UK better as a result.

 

That the two of you are so triggered by foreigners living in a foreign country while you two are foreigners living in Thailand makes me laugh hard.

 

I am proud of the British survivor and embarrassed of you two.

Disgraceful.

A bit delusional calling me an Aussie because you don’t like Indian people in the UK. 
But it doesn’t worry me. 
if there is some joke behind it I don’t really get the joke?

Racist

I’m not biting on this British/Indian bickering!

 

This crash survival scenario reminds me of the Bruce Willis/Samuel L Jackson film “Unbreakable”
