    They have a Scottish branch :50:

    Where did I call you a racist?

    You don't seem to be grasping what you're actually posting. I couldn't give a * if THEY are an immigrant, a Scot, a Brit, a * yank or an alien - it doesn't matter.

    Aye, they are living like * pigs for the benefit of * back in Romania driving BMW X5s, lots of victims and losers in this whole saga mostly their infantry on the streets and the UK public!

    I think anyone apologising for this * and accusing anyone against this epidemic is too far up their * to probably have been out and seen it in action!

    I take it you are gathering most of your info from that Dispatchers show?

    No one on this thread supports organised crime gangs targeting the weak and frail Roma.

    I have a problem with those attacking the already exploited to the hilt Roma.

    Personally I would not give them money, would buy em a bit of food instead. If 100 people walk by an hour and if even 30% of people gave a pound that is £30 an hour something is wrong.

    My stats are not realistic but just to make a point.

    Well, you seem to generalise most Eastern European immigrants as rats so maybe that is why you are considered just being a wee bit racist. :87:

    What's racist about being concerned about what criminals are doing to my city ? It was bad enough with all the Scottish criminals but now it's ten times worse as any criminal all over europe can now come and ply there trade here and there doing it.

    It's a pain in the * more than anything knowing I have to bring my kids up in this * country that's only getting worse IMO.

    Think I will immigrate to to somewhere :56:

    I have stated I have no problem with anyone here for the right reasons. But tbh I haven't met many who are here for the tight reasons

    No, Ive been in Romania many times, first time in 2001, worked in many Eastern European cities and seen this with my own eyes become an epidemic in the likes of Bratislava, Prague, Belgrade.

    I have seen a few tv programmes as well but just a day trip to London and a trip on the tube is enough to see whats going on, Saturday on the way to Brentford being the latest example for me!

    I personally don't give them money - However I would never discourage someone from doing so if I saw them.

    I'd imagine they have to hit targets each day and we can all imagine what the consequences are for those under the control of these gangs is.

    A wee bit of conversation, and asking a person begging on the street if they would like something to eat/drink out of the nearest shop is the best decision, as opposed to giving them money. If they ask for money, tell them no. Although, If you want to give them YOUR money, do so at your own request.

    Exactly.

    Absolutely.

    That's when you know they are wanting money.

    Give them * all if that's their response - whether they are genuine or not.

    That includes the whities.
