    Nepalese Gurkhas will replace them

    Why is it so fucking important that the people washing the clothes not be white

    Why do the people washing the clothes need to be a specific ethnicity

      Why does the UK have a special caste of born special people that have special government protections simply because they were born special? 👑

        Cromwell's failure to plan appropriately for succession and a general disappointing lack of follow-through

          As a naive liberal decades ago I used to wonder why the Romanovs were targeted all the way up and down the family tree. It seemed excessive.

          Actually Cromwell was a genocidal fucking psychopath, and fuck him and his entire movement.

      The United Kingdom, a place that never saw a contractor outsourcing arrangement it didn't like, but which still uses a racial caste system for assigning jobs in the navy. I've said it before and I'll say it again, sink that stupid island

      Because usually white westerners tend to not be desperate enough to accept such shitty conditions and pay. Unless you’re polish, in which case British people will complain that not enough are slaving away in the UK. Also watch white lotus season 1.

        I expect immigrants are actually doing the laundry via 3 layers of subcontractors for the US Navy too, but it's not like they're stipulating that they have to be specifically Guatemalan or whatever

          Correct. Through various means.

          On the boats sailors do their own laundry, unless you’re an officer in which case your laundry is done by lower enlisted, and lower enlisted is comprised predominantly by minorities. The laundry folks also hustle on the side and will do your laundry if you pay them.

          Pulling into port the Navy usually arranges some sort of pier side laundry service ran by whatever ethnic minority is being oppressed in that particular region.

          Stateside there are laundry services on bases, and you pretty much nailed how they work.

      Do you think we could get gammons to oppose this is we framed it as taking jobs from white people

      To be fair anglos aren't the most hygienic people in the world. I certainly wouldn't trust inbred island teutons with my hygiene.

      The Gurkahs (who serve in the UK due to a 19th century agreement) are also known for being extremely competent special forces and mountain infantry so this is some Stevan Segal in Under Siege bullshit.

        they are also massively screwed over with their pensions compared to their British army counterparts. It's straight up bullshit
