lil-minx92   10 #89 Posted November 12, 2018 Having visited a friend who lives in the area (their mum owns a house there, has owned it since the early 80's, before the Roma families moved in) - They want out asap, they paid about 70k for their house, and it's worth 35k now.. The area is a cesspit, and they would go as far as calling it a ghetto...  There are streets in the area that the police won't even go down.... There are streets in the area that the refuse collection won't run.. There are streets in the area that some delivery services refuse to serve... some of the issue is, the house prices are so cheap (now), some families have bought rows of 3 or 4 houses together, and move in the whole clan...  WHich streets are these? I went for a drive around the area just out of curiosity and didnt see much to concern me. Is there a 'centre' of Page Hall?

Â "If multiculturalism has failed, it's because of the white British majority." Â So importing thousands of Roma over a relatively short time and who have a very different lifestyle to the Brits is a good idea, and if it falls flat on it's face the Brits are to blame.

Top Cats Hat   10 #94 Posted November 12, 2018  So importing thousands of Roma over a relatively short time and who have a very different lifestyle to the Brits is a good idea,  Different, how?  Now that the nonsense of the kids going around whipping people has been dealt with what are we left with? Oh yes, leaving a mess on the streets?  Have you ever been to Moorside Road in Dewsbury? The Gurnos area of Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales or parts of Scotswood in Newcastle. All exclusively white areas where many of the people who live there have no problem with leaving their crap all over the streets.

All exclusively white areas where many of the people who live there have no problem with leaving their crap all over the streets.  Good question. I've known and worked amongst members of the Roma people for years. They're really not very different from you and I. What they suffer from most is other people's prejudice and hostility - along with poverty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Joker   10 #96 Posted November 12, 2018 Is there a reason why, when they move to a city they dont rent in a diverse area, rather than feeling the need to me among their countrymen and women. surely they would integrate a lot quicker if they mixed with a larger variety of cultures  Two reasons why they all remain in one area is that (a) it's cheap and (b) if they no speaka Inglese, they're close to somebody who can, or they can get away with not having to learn to speak Inglese.  Didn't David Camerloon stop funding ESOL classes, after Austerity started ? That would've helped them integrate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
