I have got to say that as Sikh who wears a turban I find the term 'rag-head' offensive - I'm sure you didn't mean it in that way, least of all against Sikhs who have nothing to do with the whole Islam4UK debate?

I am not suprised they where chased out.

No I don't, but I was not referring to Romanians, just the noisy leader who was doing the non stop shouting!

Romainians, in my experience, seem to know it all. But, they don't. Well they certainly didn't know their leader was planning to build the second largest building on earth after The Pentagon, did they?

But they seem to produce an uncanny number of very fit women. Let the fit women in, send the men back.

I really didn't know what to think of this part, it's seemed to be a bit of show voting to the Islamists

Since when as "a the lack of education, and not being able to speak English" been a barrier. There are schools and areas of cities in the UK where English is not the first language.
