EU rules not designed for us to inherit Roma issue
THE plight of the Roma people, otherwise known as gypsies, is well documented.
They live on landfill sites in the suburbs of Romanian towns and cities without electricity or sewerage.
They are abused by the locals and are one cause of the rise of the far-right political movements, not just in their own country but throughout Eastern Europe. The Nazis murdered them at will.
They possess few skills and are only too anxious to escape their miserable existence.

Many live in Germany and Britain already and because they are without work some resort to crime.
The London Metropolitan Police report, that in the last five years, no less than 27,500 of them were arrested in London for pickpocketing and credit card skimming.
Next January all of the Roma people in Romania will be allowed to travel to Britain and claim our welfare benefits without having contributed one penny towards the state coffers.
Can we blame them? Of course not. We, as a nation, have a great tradition of welcoming people of many races and religions to our shores.
We remain a multi-cultural nation, hence the Romanian government's optimism that we will take their problem as our own.
The obvious question is if Romania is part of the European Union, which pledged to give every citizen their human rights, why is it not being forced to look after these people?
The charter was not created to allow this to happen. Free movement of labour across the EU countries was designed to allow people of skill to ply their trade in whichever country they chose.
In view of this should not Romania be suspended from the EU, given its inhumane treatment of these poor people?

“What needs to be done is NOT to attack Gypsies, like so many politician do by taking the cheap road by inflaming anti-Gypsy sentiment among the masses, and the masses (general public) falling for the hype and lies of the media, but attack the ROOT of the problem.
That problem is the E.U nations themselves, and of course, the nonchalant E.U power. Governments have the power to stop the hate, persecution, and marginalization of our people, but instead, they do nothing, and ALWAYS lay the problem upon the shoulders of our already over-burdened people.
If the British public is truly sincere in wanting to cap immigration, why then is nothing ever said about the literal hundreds of thousands of Muslims entering the country and taking the jobs of the British people? Why is it ONLY and TOTALLY EXCLUSIVELY the Gypsies themselves the governments and general populace targeting.
Obviously, if anyone has eyes to see, this is not a "immigration issue" but merely a smoke-screen cleverly covering the racism that is so inherent in British society today, that it has become "part of British culture" to hate, persecute, and single out Gypsies.
Because we Gypsies are "forcefully pushed" to outside, we are in a very unique position to see inside the "exclusive" gorja (non-Gypsy) circle, and when you're on the outside looking in, you see, and know all!
What we see IS obviously a racist attack against us, solely on the basis of our ethnicity, it has nothing to do with immigration, but has everything to do with racism, British imperialism, and the emerging white supremacist power, which, classes anything different from it's own, inferior.
The British fought the evils of Hitler's regime in World War II. Now, the very system the British fought to destroy is being raised from the dead, and is in the process of being implemented into British society.
Sadly, this Nazi ideology is not being condemned by the British public, but is being applauded and supported by the general populace at large. Without a doubt, and I don't say this lightly, the English are allowing themselves to be brain-washed by the media into believing that we are the evil ones, and they themselves are the victims. And it also plain to see that, whether te English deny it or not, or even realise it, they ARE becoming the "New Nazi Germany". Sadly, it is only a matter of time before the gorjas convince themselves enough that we Gypsies truly are parasites, and begin some-kind legalised extermination program.
It is time for Britain to wake up, this country is heading down a very, very dark road indeed, which in later years they'll come to deeply regret.
We are the victims, let those who think otherwise know this, and only then this racism can truly end once and for all, and finally we can take our "rightful place" of which we have been robbed of, in society.
We are human beings, not your punching bags for when things which are totally out of our control go wrong, and you need someone to hit out at.
It's over-due time for the gorjas to leave the murderous epoch of the dark-ages and join the rest of the human race by stopping the persecution of our people the gypsies, which they themselves have caused for the 1,500 years we have been in Europe.
Wake up Britain...”

“It would be cheaper to pay them to remain in their own country than come here. We can't afford to house, feed, treat or educate them even without the welfare benefits being handed out.”

“I really agree. The EU should be encouraging every country to improve and not merely create escape routes.”

“I once spent 4 months working in Bulgaria where I was astonished to see the level of racism against Roma people, particularly by the authorities. They were treated like criminals and were encouraged to emigrate. On television, I saw an official advert encouraging them to go to England - it showed ladies in English national dress (or what they thought was) welcoming a gypsy family with bread and salt (traditional signs of welcome in Eastern Europe), a bobby saluting and a council official handing over the keys to a new house together with a wad of cash. This advert was quickly withdrawn after a complaint by the British Embassy, but there is little doubt the Bulgarian government still encourages Roma people to go to England rather than remain a burden on their home country.”
