JONJO THE MISER

Talking about a case in Cork where a woman has put up pics of roma women who have shoplifted in her shop.

Sure they'd take the white out of your eye if you stood still long enough...

JONJO THE MISER

Why do they have a Indian woman on defending Roma why not have a american or French woman or is it Just because the Indian woman is dark skinned, cant they get a decent Roma person to come on and defend themselves or are there any decent Roma out there in this country, Just a Question.

Annoying how that Indian woman thinks yer one was being racist. She wasn't. Thieves are thieves, regardless of race.

In Fairness wouldn't it be interesting if all shop keepers hung up photos of thieves in there shop fronts... probably wouldn't stop them though??

Because she is an anti-racism campaigner? I didn't think she was defending the shoplifters/thugs - she was politely suggesting ways in which shopkeepers might not inadvertently help incite racial hatred.

And not to be pedantic, but she sounded like someone born and bred in Ireland to me.

Likewise, surely if so many of them did it would be more welcomed?

I agree with that woman putting pictures up of the Roma thieves. The cheek of Cork Anti Racism Network threatening to have a picket outside that ladies shop.
A thief is a thief and they deserve to be barred out of the premises.

Ya I was shocked to hear that they had barged into her shop, tore down signs and started calling her a racist and facist.
Looks like they severely misjudged who the "small guy" was in this whole thing.

Ah i know its brutal but im learning the language again... little steps at a time..

What I find really interesting is the people who objected to the Cork woman clearly have issues with race.

All I see is thief, they see "not white".

I'm pretty sure that mean they are more racist than me.
