gypsy lived the life of riley at the expense of Brit taxpayer.  ho-hum. business as usual

I think I post too many stories on these folks. I really do. So why do I continue?  Cos it’s a blog site and rants, gripes, complaints and almost anything else that grabs my attention is up for blogging.  Also ... it’s so damn close to home considering I live here.

Truth to tell though, I am tired of the subject but darn if it doesn’t keep coming up and it does have it’s impact.  Be thankful you folks back home don’t have to put up with this. 
In terms of large sums of money I guess this is bad enough. But we’ve read worse where the frauds have not reached this high. But this makes the second time in about six or seven months that one of “these” people have been found out screwing the system in this way.  Hey, if the powers that be are going to make it easy for these folks to do this sort of thing, it can only get worse. And now that they have been declared a ‘race’ well, one must be careful before bringing charges.  Have to be very careful about hurting anyone’s feelings don’t ya know.

The Romanian gypsy who lived luxury lifestyle with £113,000 benefits stolen from British taxpayers

By Nick Fagge

A ‘shameless’ Romanian gipsy who stole at least £113,000 in benefits to fund a life of luxury has been jailed for three years.

Illie Schian, 47, bought sports cars, motorcycles, quad bikes and electrical goods with money he received from British hand-outs.

Using taxpayers’ cash, he even built his family a nine-bedroom mansion in Romania, complete with marbled floors, a spa bath, servants’ quarters and two kitchens filled with modern appliances.

He is also accused of involvement in a people-smuggling ring that sent around 180 children to Britain to beg and steal.

The fraudster amassed a £20,000 nest egg in a Romanian bank account before he was finally caught by police.

Schian, from Enfield, North London, applied for political asylum under an assumed name when he arrived in the UK 11 years ago, claiming he had been persecuted in Romania because he is a gipsy.

He was granted indefinite leave to remain in the country, but he proceeded to fleece British taxpayers out of tens of thousands in job seekers’ allowance, child benefit and housing benefit before he was arrested in July this year.

The Romanian was jailed for three years after he admitted a string of fraud charges at Southwark Crown Court on Friday.

Mr Justice James Wadsworth QC said: ‘You did your utmost to defraud the public.

He was granted indefinite leave to remain in March 2004 and his family came to Britain to join him. But shortly afterwards he was jailed for 15 months for theft.

On his release from prison, he disappeared and began to commit benefit fraud using his false identity.Through this he netted a total of £113,889 in just three-and-a-half years.

He was arrested four months ago following a long-running investigation into the organised crime gang he was part of.

Prosecutor Martin Whitehouse told the court: ‘The defendant came to the country intending to defraud the benefits system and, as soon as he could, he did just that.

Some impressive pix at the link.  Unless they bring back hanging for theft, this fellow and other like him will not be impressed by the jails here. They are a race of professional liars and thieves except for the odd one off who isn’t and even they might be suspect. Possible exception might, I say might, have been Django” Reinhardt.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
