Default Romanians are on the way!

As from toay Romanians are allowed to enter and work in the UK as Romania have joined the EU.

There are about 200,000 Romanians working legally in Spain. But if illegal migrants are included, unofficial estimates suggest at least 800,000 Romanians could be living in Spai

Blair says he'll allow 20,000 a year into the Uk. Yeah right!

Discuss sensibly please

As he said - any blatant racism or xenophobia will result in the thread (as others today) getting removed.

I realise that it is an emotive subject but keep it clear of those little comments etc and a reasonable discussion can be had.

Thanks

Why do the fedarilist empire-building European politicians allow 2nd-world Eastern European countries to join the EEC? Why they want to join and get on the gravy train isnt hard to see of course.....

Was up oxford street on the 29th and everyone up there was talking a foreign language

I hope it was just a influx of tourists shopping.

Get the armed forces back from wars that aren't our concern and get them to man the docks around Britain.

And who exactly decides what constitutes 'blatant racism or xenophobia ' ?? Some self appointed PC 'god' no doubt? Sorry, but that's bollocks.

I think you are perfectly aware of what is and isn't acceptable, as are most people here. All I am asking is for you to stay within the guidelines, thats all.

Thanks

That's a fair enough request but surely it would be better to remove the offending post, and warning the poster rather than removing the thread as a whole.

I've got a question. Right, if all these Romanians et all, come into the Country to get work, where are they going to get it from. We have millions on the dole. All the call centres are now in India. We hardly have enough jobs left to keep ourselves employed, never mind any more coming in. Can anyone explain this to me, please

This is what is angering the people. We have scant jobs, resources etc to cater for the people over here already. However we are now in a position where many more are coming over. This is not racism, xenephobia or anything along them lines. It is the indiginous population rightfully becoming very concerned about not only their own future, but that of their children. Are politicians oblivious to all this? What are they waiting for civil unrest(already here) or something much worse. A situation is being cultured whereby desperate people are going to take desperate measures. Those measures could be at the very least a right wing government or in a worse case scenario complete civil anarchy and revolution.

I just don't understand how we can encourage people to come over here for jobs that don't exist

Not according to the Scoobynet 'monitor'

What you need is to listen to Hazel Blears a bit more and get on message....



Those romanions are coming here to help us make a big success of our economy

A lot of this governments policies have baffled and continue to baffle people. The sooner they're out the better. Good night Lesley goodnight all, back to work tomorrow while I've got a job!
