Can't comment on the why's of their entry other than to note that certain Tory's were very vocal in trying to promote Turkey's entry

I do groan to see the Mule posting pictures of rubbish strewn council blocks as if such pictures could not be found in the UK or France or pretty much any country.

They strangely decided not to go with the pictures from Prince Charles' Holiday home in Romania

Very nice!

One would almost think the Mail were pushing an Agenda!

[Noth43]

Because that would be so wrong jake.

A somewhat misinformed petition there Noth

Romanians and Bulgarians already have the right to come here the restrictions in place are on their right to work here.

I must say two of the best carers at the nursing home my father is in are Romanian

[cassa333]

Because the EU machine just wants to get bigger.

With the continents poor on board they will vote for anything, however outragious, just to be able to get their hands on money.

And how many do you suppose will be coming from that area of Romania jake?

Two eh, jake? Well I suppose that is something to be thankfully for.

[Noth43]

presumably there are now two displaced unemployed British care workers looking for work....

[emmie]

Noth, there is that of course ^^

[Zeuhl]

And some old people in Romania with no one to look after them?

[ummmm]

Well I would prefer the elderly to be cared for by the best carers, regardless of nationality.

[Noth43]

well they'd better get themselves over here for a free ride as well then eh?

[Zeuhl]

/better get themselves over here for a free ride/

Yeah, that makes sense noth

Like working in a Care Home wiping people's @rses for minimum wage is a 'free ride'

(sheesh)

[Zeuhl]

^^
sorry noth

think you might have been referring to the 'old romanians' not ummm's carers

[Noth43]

//And some old people in Romania with no one to look after them//

(sheesh)

[emmie]

i have rarely seen more uncaring people than those who cared? for a relative, all foreign born, hardly able to speak the language, in it for the money, and little else, there are as always two side to every story.

[Zeuhl]

Beaten to the punch again noth :-)

to be fair, it might have been clearer if your post had quoted the 'old people' as it crossed with ummm's post

(not that i always do that - sheesh!)

[jake-the-peg]

Well AOG - I suspect that's two more Romanian's than you've ever spoken to?

Oh nice distraction by the way against the Mail's deliverate use of prejudical pictures

Do they still show images of Jews with big hooked noses rubbibg their hands or are jews off of the racial hit list these days?

[Zeuhl]

/According to the Wiesel Commission report released by the Romanian government in 2004, Romania murdered in various forms, between 280,000 to 380,000 Jews in Romania and in the war zone of Bessarabia, Bukovina and Transnistria/

The Romanians really entered into the spirit of their ally's holocaust scheme.

Must confuse anti Romanian neo-nazis
