      OK, who let the Daily Mail reader on here. Come on, own up.

      Great isn't it...

      Even the Eastern European crooks work harder than UK born ones...

      That's right

      Whereas the British are well known for their immaculate behaviour, excellent manners and ability to blend in like locals when travelling abroad.

      Racist prick!

        Shirley Bassey? Is that really you?

        Lots of left-wing faggotry from Shirley, there. Clearly cares not to read the news - what's going on in France at the moment with the deportations, in Spain if he cares to look and also Milan where there is a particular problem with Roma pick-pockets at the station. Not to mention London.

        Also noted for not comparing like with like. Robbing mobile phone shops for 250k in 4 months is not the same as eating Egg and Chips on the Costa Brava or getting drunk in Prague.

        Recommend that they all come and stay round your house Shirley.

        Asshole.

      Oh FFS!

      So, the members of one criminal gang all come from the same country. From this, the retard extrapolates that all of their fellow Romanians are thieves.

      Good call. Now can we lock up all Englishmen because Ronnie Biggs is English? We can't? Damn.

    I bet they're set free before I am from my contract

    Somehow the opportunity for a more appropriate sentence (theirs, not mine) has been missed.

      @M7S

      Something like: "You are hereby sentenced to serve a minimum term of two years. At the end of the sentence another year will be added on automatically, unless you apply for release in writing to the Home Secretary at least two months prior to the end of sentence. Such automatic renewal terms to be enforced as each end of sentence date approaches. At the end of the first two years and at the end of each of every subsequent year added on in which you do not apply to be released, we will give you a new bucket to shit in if you ask for it."

      Is that what you're after?

    "Recommended they be deported"

    Provided they get the offender management system working well enough to tell whoever needs to know that they have to come round to run them down to the airport.

    WTF?

    How does that work then?

    If they are EU citizens, once we ship em back they can jump on a bus and head back again surely - at the border they show a Romanian Passport to the bored guy in the cap and they wander in again.

    WTF?

    Deported?

    Does the word actually mean anything within the EU?

    Alert

    what can you do?

    they are trying to boost romanias economy by allowing them into the EU. The part they missed was that without them having anything to trade in or any skills to sell all they are going to do is take the piss.

    I am quite a liberal guy but I'm not an idiot the standards should have been higher before they were allowed full membership into the EU, I'm still surprised Greece made it in!

    Please no Jingoism on The Reg lets keep it focused

    "they are trying to boost romanias economy by allowing them into the EU. The part they missed was that without them having anything to trade in or any skills to sell all they are going to do is take the piss."

    You forget. They have experience of working for *very* low wages and are inside the EU.

    I think I've found the site for for the next Dell / HP factory, once they close Poland for being too expensive.
