flag of convenience Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yet again you can not compare Roma to Polish people ...And with the passport thing you can travel in the European Union with an ID card which in many countries mandatory and cost nothing. Wrong to treat all Roma folk as being the same. In France we had a Roma camp, provided by the local authorities, less than 1km from our house, and not always inhabited by used by visiting Roma when in town. They would operate the summer carnival events etc. The grounds were always left in a pretty clean state. The Roma travelled in top notch caravans and motors. That is akin to French people thinking all English are football hooligans because certain French cities have had areas thrashed at times by football visitors.

flag of convenience Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 not all but in a very large percentage you look at all the **** holes in the uk, then look at the residents and there's your link .. Never been a big fan of Australia but like their stance on boat people.. Get rid of them somewhere else. Why should other countries problems become australian problems. Oh dear, I shall refrain from answering this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Integration was encouraged for the Roma after the 2nd world war in many countries. They just don't want to be integrated. Just have a look at the picture in this topic in some of the early post when there is caravans and a junk car I'm the middle. That's their idea of integration into society. Roma are following a way of life rather unique. Do not fail to distinguish Roma reflect to a large degree the country they tend to inhabit. To paint all with the same brush is at best mischievous and at worst racist. Romania and Bulgaria, along with other East European countries have long discriminated against minorities be it Roma or Jews or folk of visible appearance. My concern would equally be how would more East Europeans of non Roma origin fit into the multi racial fabric of todays Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old neighbourhood has priced itself out for most the original inhabitants. I witnessed the changing of the guard. Even worked at Canary Wharf.

Guest Andy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 ............how to cope with migration.....?............when do we pull up the drawer bridge.....? ...........when I came to Australia there were jobs a plenty........it was cheap to live..... .......... Now with all the new migrants......http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/news-chat-dilemmas/176394-locals-losing-out-jobs-due-immigration-3.html ...............things have changed......yes most of these are skilled..... ...............but the Roma are taking unskilled jobs in the main........ .............not in my back yard springs to mind....! That is not the case at all, Britain has taken more than its fair share of immigrants over the last few years and cannot cope with anymore, please explain to me how hospitals, doctors surgeries, schools, the police, the benefit system etc etc etc can cope with hundreds of thousands more as i would be interested to know? Also even Jack Straw and Blunkett have accepted that they made mistakes with their immigration policy and Straw is even questioning the problems that have arisen in his own back yard due to immigration so why is it a problem if ordinary people question it?
