Romas hit the headlines again

WilyCoyote · 01-10-2013 04:21AM #1

I wonder why this topic keeps cropping up? Have the Irish people wised up and stopped giving them money at the lights/ATMs/Church gates etc or is it still a fertile ground for beggers?

I like Romas I don't know why people complain about them popping up all the time, I'd love a few more in my town.

Nice chips and Great fish.

Why? It's a begging c'unt, not a mate you owe a few quid to or an ex you want to pretend not to have seen as you walked past. Why avoid eye contact? You sound like you might actually give them money if they see you. If everyone told them to **** off the country might be rid of them.

Where are native big issue sellers gone anyway?

So much fail in this article.

I assume the Mail understand the basic concept of freedom of movement for EU citizens? They can't actually be this clueless, surely/

Blame it on their lifestyle - they're a festering pile of thieving *****, and try to play the sympathy card in their beggar schemes with drugged out kids!

BillyMitchel · 01-10-2013 11:15AM

The Daily Mail discriminating, never thought I see the day.

Eight Ball · 01-10-2013 11:15AM

Usually I don't like to tar a section of society with the same brush but feck it this crowd deserve it. Everything they do involves scamming, robbing and ripping people off.

dd972 · 01-10-2013 11:16AM

Does Francesco Totti still play for them?

01-10-2013 11:17AM

I have 2 roma families living near me. One is good and the other not so. THe one thing we noticed, they have a constant flow of kids coming to live with them. WE talked to one of the other kids who told us, they come in from Romania , if they dont grasp English or are not able to provide anything to the family such as begging or getting a job, they send them back to Romania

If this is an image of your cell phone which was stolen ........... you need an upgrade

Explanation:
This was posted because earlier the pic would not open and remained as a black and white thumbprint that looked like a cell phone

Who is clueless? Check out the facts before giving your own interpretation

OK. Why not get the gist of the story? I bet Jesus is glad that you weren't around when he was telling the parables.

Can you explain what you perceive as discriminatory in The Mail as opposed to other papers that carry the same story?

The Daily Mail has the highest internet readership of any paper, so what I think it's detractors are saying is, that those readers have not attained the lofty standards of intellectual sophistication that they deem themselves to have.
Some stories are tongue-in-cheek and these should be understood to be so, by anyone that has the basic ability to see a joke.

I could mention Chamberlain's and the Munich Agreement peace for our time jazz but won't. Don't want to embarrass appeasing types.

Seaneh · 01-10-2013 04:38PM

The Mail is clueless, as EU citizens, Romanian and Bulgarian citizens are free to travel to any EU country.

There is a codicil. Try reading it.
Take, for instance, Ireland and the UK. Why do you have to show passports at passport control? On the continent you just need ID.

Romanians hate them more as they get compared to them. Much like being compared to a skanger I guess.
I believe many still have to hand over earnings to a clan leader. There was an interesting documentary about them on C4 a while back.

This rubbish story for a start. Take a look at the vile shît they posted when the Bulgarians and Romanians were allowed travel throughout the EU. Or go back to what they used to write about the Irish or if you want a good laugh go back to what they used to say about Hiltler and Britan.

One of the reasons it has high readership is because you now have to pay for the Sun. The mirror isn't worth a ****. Hours of dumbed down nonsense in the rag. It's not good enough to let my little puppies piss on.

Back in your box son and kop the fock on.

EDIT: Roma gypsies are not Romanian, some are! They also come from Bulgaria and Hungary.

Christ, they're just people. People who are marginalised. Is it right to want to slaughter any group of people just because they didn't get with the program and were too slow to change their ways when the powerful moved in? People like the Roma, Kurds, aborigines, maoris, apaches, etc?

Because if they hold Romanian passports they are Romanian first - Roma second ,
just like an Irish traveler is Irish first and a Traveler second.

that is why they get thrown in with the settled Romanians

Have you ever noticed in the British press when travelers cause trouble they are referred to as "Irish" , yet they could 3 generations removed from Ireland , having lived all their lives in England and hold British passports.

so - you cant blame the Romanian people for the Roma , but they are the responsibility of Romania until they rescind their citizenship.

They dont all hold Romanian passports though. They are scattered throughout all the 3 countries I mentioned previously. People just see Roma and Romania and come up with something straight from their arse.

I will say this though. I know many normal people from Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria and they are all pretty quick to distant themselves from the Roma people and say pretty nasty stuff about them.

Ross Kemp done one of his many documentaries on them, worth a look for someone that interested. All mad tribal stuff going on.

It really shouldn't have to be said that racism and advocating violence will not be tolerated.

Romas hit the headlines again
