What can we do to solve the Romani gypsy problem?

HovaBaby · 06-01-2012 02:12PM #1

Ever since we opened our borders to Romania they have come over and just robbed, begged and claimed money. How can we sort this out?

I like what President Sarkozy of France did when he said "Damn the legislation, i'm deporting straight away." He has done this, but they had to be given €200 each when leaving. They use this money to travel back into Europe again. It is obvious they are just a virus on the map. None of them work, and now because of their reputation none of them would get a job anyways. (the small 0.01% that would like to work legitimately here) It baffles the mind.

Here is a good article on the current situation in France. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16428195

Kill it with fire.

I'd be all for a bit of genocide.

Of people who start threads about Roma gypsies.

I don't understand why they;ve suddenly decided that my windscreen is clean enough.

holystungun9 · 06-01-2012 02:16PM

There must be some sort of cream for it.

Give them as much money as we can and leave our front doors unlocked.

Biggins · 06-01-2012 02:17PM

Turn the TV off?

stovelid · 06-01-2012 02:17PM

Get them to work in Dixons.

They need slaves at the minute, I hear.

From the poster who brought us the following threads:

It annoys me how Fianna Failure are rooting for the working man all of a sudden

What does the world "Fat" mean to you?

How many single mothers IYO fit the stereotypical single mothers image?

Reminds me of a RHCP song...

Simply STOP giving them money when they beg.... instead tell them that you know they are not homeless (there is a house full of them in phibsborough on the North Circular Road) and that they even get welfare from the state (cos ive seen them queuing in the dole offices on signing day a few times).

WindSock · 06-01-2012 02:18PM

Take their jobs?

Have you a link to prove this figure?

I know a few Romanian family's, both home owners, and with a very impressive educational background. Both family's make a good living here and contribute like everyone else who works.

I think that tarring all the Romanians with the same brush, would be the same as calling all Irish in England , Travellers. Which is untrue.

They can't all be living there

Maybe a forcible gold tooth extraction scheme implemented at border control would raise some revenue for the country?

aidoh · 06-01-2012 02:20PM

It'll be grand.

ejmaztec · 06-01-2012 02:21PM

Why don't people get it into their thick heads that not all Roma come from Romania?

No offence.

Exactly - what about the Italian ones?

Duggy747 · 06-01-2012 02:24PM

Put a curse on them

Roma are not indigenous to Romania, please try to educate yourself on the differences

just ask your Romanian friends about their opinion on the Roma.

question for any of you bleeding heart liberals, have never heard one good thing said about the Roma?

These.

If people can't even inform themselves to this level about the Roma folk then they should probably just STFU.

Offence intended.

There is a difference between Romanians and Roma gypsies. The latter are a separate ethnic group (IIRC), and it just so happens that a lot of them are from Romania - if you read the BBC article the OP linked, it mentions that there are also communities in Hungary & the Czech Republic, among others. Most Romanians have a similar attitude to them as the OP, that is, not friendly. The families you know are likely Romanian, but not Roma gypsy.

"In fact, research shows that most of those residing in France are from Romania - not Hungary, Poland, or the Czech Republic where there are sizeable Roma populations."

From the BBC article in the OP. Not all Roma gypsies are from Romania, but i'd bet my coin that nine tenth's of them are.

Hey, we're moving on, back in the 90s most people here seemed to think that Roma and Bosnians were effectively one and the same thing.

Oh, and OP - a really silly post. Offence intended.

You realise that doesn't disprove his argument, don't you?

Does it really make that much difference? No one wants them, even Romania, despite being citizens...

What can we do to solve the Romani gypsy problem?
