Suited bankers maybe the new scourge of our age but the BBC does enjoy some roguish ‘petty thieving’ by immigrant Romanian pickpockets who are rather daring with dazzling skills and an enterprise and professionalism so sadly lacking in our own underclass of thieving toerags .
Yes immigrants can teach us a lot.
This was brought to my attention in the comments and is a remarkably ill judged piece that reports pickpocketing as a commendable profession if done with flair and professionalism, one to be admired….whilst the police arresting them are ‘heavy handed and terrifying’.
I suppose I might be a little angry if I lost my smart phone or my wallet or passport…but you know what, a year later I would be laughing about it…really I would….and of course I’d be voting Labour next time because they brought us this rich diversity of new skills and enterprising immigrants who do so much for GDP… we have to keep buying new phones after every little bit of roguishness…so good for the economy.
Thieving gypsy bastards
The latest ONS figures have just been released, guess what pickpocketing has gone up 17%. Another shit gift from the EU.
just posted re this on open thread…how to report good figures…not.
The “Roms” as they are known are loathed and despised throughout Europe. Hardly a city park exists without two or three squatting families of Roms – three or four kids each. The women beg while the mens work – scavenging and stealing – supports their lifestyle. Whoever in Brussels idea it was to include Romania in the EU should pick up the tab for their deportation.
The BBC line is “its the only thing they know how to do” I must remember that defence for pickpockets, burglars, bank card fraudsters, tamperers with cash dispensers. “You see m’lud, its all I know how to do”.
“Oh that’s all right then. Be off with you, you scallywag”
The BBC think they have found themselves a new “victim” group to champion.
Doesn’t that same defense apply to bankers, “it’s the only thing they know how to do”?
The BBC usually does champion the poor downtrodden Roma, a bit of begging and street theft are a small price to pay for the extra edge given to urban life in Britain. Remember the BBC reaction to the ‘Pogrom’ (BBC terminology) in Belfast when a colony of Roma established itself there in 2009? I noticed that there was no analysis of why the Belfast residents were so upset by the 115 families of new Ulstermen beyond a crude smear of the Belfast vigilanties as sectarian racists from the middle ages.

On the other hand I did see a brilliant and very a-typical documentary on the BBC about the Roma a couple of years ago that concluded that the reason they were universally hated and revilled across europe was that they acutally lived up to their ‘racist’ stereotype by theft, child expolotation, crime, unpleasant living conditions and had made places like Rome almost uninhabitable. Theft, benefit fraud and palaces in Cludj……..

Oh! We are so blessed with this ‘wonderful’ diversity and ‘enrichment’ that the lovely Liebour socialist government introduced, after asking the country’s permission to do so.
Where I live they beg, drink foul amounts of vodka, sell drugs, pick-pocket and accost you in the street trying to sell their ill-gotten gains; and they are filthy as well! I always tell them, in no uncertain terms, to ‘beat it’ or else.
My father works for the Red Cross and they have emergency cash loans for homeless families in need etc. And yep, you guessed it, the Roma come round to the office in droves trying to extract anything they can – if there is money to be had then they sniff it out, as it were. But the staff get rid of them immediately, being fully aware of their foul schemes.
Why were the residents of Belfast so upset? One bloke was walking down the street and he saw a gypsy walking in the opposite direction wearing HIS clothes that had been nicked off the washing line days earlier. I watched a programme where these Roma gypsies were living in derelict housing without any plumbing and they were shitting in the street causing a health hazard. They’re at the No1 spot in my list of the most useless turds in society closely followed by Somalis (at No2) and Albanians (at No3). The competition is fierce as you can imagine, tune in next week to see if the Kurds, Turks, Nigerians, tinkers or Pakistanis have broken into the top three.
hmmm somalis 2nd and albanians 3rd…can we not put them both as joint 2nd?
Does anyone know the legality of these £4.99 hand car wash shit holes?
I took this as the BBC’s politically correct way of warning the public attending the games of a potentially very serious situation. Pick pocketing is not a “petty crime”, the pick pocketing technique demostrated was pretty clumsy, I have been pickpocketed, and it was far more skilful . If it were white English gangs of pickpockets preparing for the Olympics, how would the BBC report it ?
Off topic: well, that’s it then… it looks like it’s all Christianity’s fault according to this garbage article from the anti-Christian and freedom of speech party, the BBC. No mention of the massive secular agenda tearing apart Europe (or that little thing called multiculturalism where an even more dangerous religion is sleeping like a dragon!) Bloody good for nothing Christians…

Been coming onto this site for about a year, perhaps more now, but have never had the bottle to post anything, anyway, I spotted this little gem below BD’s link, and thought it deserved to be shared, if it already hasn’t been.

I see….so, really, they are as indigenous as you or I…
That’s all right then, carry on.
When the beeb extols the virtues of Good Queen Bess (because she was a woman, not like nasty Good King Hal) it usually forgets to mention her attempts to get “divers negars and blackamoores” out of the country.
Enrichment she was not into, and ye sturdy beggars and looters would have received short shrift from the justices in those days.
I loved this bit:
“Walk out of Aldgate Tube and stroll around Whitechapel Road in east London today, and you’ll experience the heady sights, smells and sounds of the temples, mosques and curry houses of Brick Lane – so typical of modern multicultural Britain. ”
Because of the concentration of restaurants in a small area the sewers become congested with fat – in the summer heat, the smell from the drains mixed with the petrol and diesel fumes from the convergence of the A11 and A13 make it the most malodorous place I have ever lived in.
Been enjoying my “Lonely Planet” guides to Central Europe, where I`ll be in a few weeks time.
The BBC will be pleased to hear that Poles, Hungarians and Czechs are as “prejudiced” against our Roma friends as we are-according to Lonely Planet, this is wrong.
Does make me wonder though, how countries so used to Roma, for thousands of years…and clearly “racist” according to Panorama…seem to be united in what they think of our travelling community…but this is “prejudice” according to the likes of the BBC and Lonely Planet.
Think I`ll trust those who`ve had to live with them, rather than those who defend them in court cases…if that`s alright with you!
Ah, Lonley Planet. 75% owned by the BBC
Lonley Planet and the BBC singing the same tune? Anyone would think that LP was 75% owned by the BBC.
Oh hang on, it is!
If it’s natural to steal, then it has to be natural to mete out justice for stealing. Street theft, street justice.
I remember reading the European newspaper back in the early nineties (I know – I was pro European in those days) and there was a report on Transylvania. The few remaining German Saxons were doing their best to look after their remaining heritage, mainly the Lutheran churches in the region. Unfortunately for them the fucking gypsies kept nicking the lead off the church roofs and stealing pretty much everything. The remaining elderly Germans hated them. Twenty years later and we let all these modern day Fagin’s into our country to do the same (while the BBC defends and supports them). Disgusting.
Real Romanians loathe gypsy Roma as much any anyone. They also hate it when foreign news networks report gypsy Roma as being Romanian. The Roma are as much Romanian as pikeys are English.
Or Irish for that matter. The BBQ would not dare report pikeys as being Irish but they feel free to lump the Roma gypsies in with the Romanians.
Yes we have some Romanian cleaners at my gym and yes they take great offence if they are mixed up with Roma. Prior to the Romanians the cleaners were mostly native British and there was a theft problem in the changing rooms. The Romanians appeared and that just stopped overnight plus the place was a lot cleaner.
Culturally and by the look of them genetically the Roma are very different to your average Romanian.
Yep, they trace their origins to somewhere in India.
Wonder why they were kicked out?
Great, a gas chamber ‘ joke’; I really hope that you are being ironic..
I see the offfending article has been removed. Thanks.
I bet the Beeboids were squabbling for hours over who was going to get this gig.
-“I want the young Romanian boy’s hands all over my body!”
-“No you bitch, it’s my turn, you got to visit all those vulnerable young Afghans at Sangatte. We all know they’ll do ANYTHING for a chance to get in to Britain”
-“But that was ages ago, you’ve interviewed Peter Tatchel on numerous occasions since then”
Is there anyone at the IBBC now who doesn’t play for LGBT team now?
Having been to Romania in the early `90s, I agree that the average Romanian is not at all keen on the Roma, they view them as giving the country a bad image, and are treat with contempt by the average `Nicalous in the street’
The programme marked a new low in judgement terms : the ethnic thieves were portrayed a lovable, clever rogues — and terribly Ethnic and thus gaining the full support of the Corporation against the heavy handed police … rather like Toronto in fact … and the programme was bizarre too in its length …
