Sadly, I think farage was probably right

[MarathonFan]

Romanians next door

I know the right minded middle classes on Mumsnet will think his comments outrageous but among people I know in less affluent areas where this is actually happening (rather than naice white British areas where it's less likely to be a real "problem") it would cause concern.

A few doors from here we have a Lithuanian family (not the same thing at all I know but East Europeans often lumped together). The children go to school with mine and they are a lovely family but among the other neighbours they are viewed very much with suspicion - one calls the police every time they have friends visiting because "they must be up to no good when that many of "them" get together"

So whilst I don't agree with Farage, I hope I'd take any new neighbour as I found them, I do think he's probably right when he says "most" people would be concerned and with some grounds as Romanian gangs are responsible for a lot of crime.

Obviously the man's an idiot and a dangerous one at that but sadly, I think he is talking the same language as a lot of people on the UK and not allowing factual things to be said just strengthens their feeling that white British people are losing all their rights while immigrants are untouchable.

i forgot to add

this either affects your town a lot or if doesnt affect it at all. we are talking large scale migration of sometimes whole villages, to a particular town or district of a town.

[mercibucket]

it is not farage who is leaving poor underfunded communities to deal with the results of decades of oppression and stigma from their already stretched budgets

[mercibucket]

i think my town is going to vote ukip in large numbers

there is no support from central govt that i see. people are being pushed not pulled towards ukip

massive failure on the part of the political elite imo

I don't people have a problem with Romanians it's Roma gypsies. I don't think there is anything wrong with having a immigration rule similar to Australia (which UKIP want). Sadly people have become ridiculously left wing, with political correctness etc and I fear it is too late. Were are turning into cultural Marxists!

Lets not forget hilter's party started as a socialist party bringing pension and an NHS to there people it was even called the socialist party at one time and compared to Marxism. We are actually going down a dangerous left wing route at the moment. This is what people are missing and 75% of our laws are made in Brussels were a tiny country and becoming vastly over populated.

I was really pleased when Romanians moved in next to us as they were polite, friendly and clean and tidy, compared to the previous tenants. Also I am quarter Romanian so chatted to them about my family there. I was far more gutted when students moved in after them, had many more problems with them!
Ridiculous comment by Farage.

[TooLongInTheBog]

dolina, are you for real? It's like Clarkson Bingo: "political correctness" - tick. "Hitler's party started as socialist" - tick. "Laws made in Brussels" - tick.

This is the sort of thing in the current drift of politics - cutting back on employment rights; cutting back on regulation designed for the public good in favour of large private companies; increased privatisation and the bargain selling off of public assets to private companies; housing ghettoisation by moving low-income households out of city centres in favour of megabucks developments and the super-rich. How can you describe this as "going down a dangerous left-wing route"?

I wish we were going down a dangerous left wing route. No such luck.

[TooLongInTheBog]

Plus, if anyone in the UK (including dolina) thinks they aren't descended from immigrants themselves, they need to learn some British history. Every damn person in the British Isles who isn't an immigrant themselves is descended from immigrants. Every damn one.

Were are turning into cultural Marxists!

I know my Harpo from my Karl. Can I be one?

[LadyWithLapdog]

Dolina - if you're not an immigrant what has prevented you from learning to spell and punctuate?

[dolina123]

Of course we all come from immigrants does that mean we should be an open door for everyone and their dog? We were not racist before the Maastricht treaty.

I still think we are too left wing. I agree with UKIP that universities should be for the top 20% cognitively elite not more than 50% of the population going and if half the population are above average intelligence half are below clearly lots of dumbos go to university. I would rather give the brightest kids free university, but as now a huge percent of the population works for the public sector it keeps the lefty think tank going.

The money is simply not there is to be paying out millions to the EU either to Brussels, benefits to EU migrants children back home. Bet most of you are glad we didn't join the euro?

[dolina123]

I agree with the bell curve. Try telling that to some boosting Mother's though!

[LadyWithLapdog]

Dolina - you don't need university. You need to go back to primary school. Not only for spelling but a bit of history too.

[LadyWithLapdog]

Unless Dolina and her/his ilk are a cleverly disguised weapon of the Left to make anyone with right leaning tendencies stop and think twice about associating themselves with such racist morons.

[dolina123]

Right lapdog lady correct my spelling. I know my punctuation is wrong, explain the spelling. Would you believe I'm a qualified teacher lol? Seriously honest to god truth!

[dolina123]

Lapdog lady I am not nor EVER have been racist. I have lots of Russia, black, polish, Asian friends all lovely people too.

[LadyWithLapdog]

Dolina - I d

[LadyWithLapdog]

I don't believe you are a teacher. I believe you are racist.

[dolina123]

Buffy it's just a fact of life, what's your take?

[LadyWithLapdog]

You use words like dumbos IRL? At school? As a teacher? Pull the other one.
