slightly different twist on the never ending gypsy curse.

I recall a month or two back when I said I was sooooo tired of the Traveller/Gypsy/Roma thing that seems to happen everyday, that I was going to stop or at least restrict the number of posts on the issue.  But lately, I have posted a few due to the nature of the articles, as I thought they stood out from the rest by some small degree.  Well, this one stands out by being way different from how they are usually reported, although yesterdays post and video of the Irish horse racer (killers) was by far way different from any other post I’ve done on that sorry and tired subject.

Which reminds me.  I simply must post a comment made by Wardmamma4 on that article from yesterday. Although it has nothing to do with this particular story I am about to share, it could easily apply to this as well.

Awful people - and I hear that K is becoming a ‘party’ drug - it would be nice if those people simply killed themselves but they almost always kill innocents while merrily they go along free to create havoc and mayhem where ever they go. I’d talk about the cost of the horses and taking care of them - but obviously these people steal most of what they ‘use’.

ROMA GANGS USE NO FRILLS FLIGHTS FOR CRIME SPREES

The budget flight crime wave: Romanian pickpocketing gangs use low-cost airlines to target cities and fly home in time for tea

· Europol director Rob Wainwright says the gangs are active across Europe
· Exploit low-cost airlines by targeting city and getting ‘back in time for tea’
· He said police cooperation is needed to halt the crime wave

No-frills airlines and Europe’s free travel rules are being exploited by Romanian gangs to target Britain, it was revealed yesterday.
Up to 240 crime networks have been identified in the country by Europol, the European criminal intelligence agency.

Its director Rob Wainwright said crooks are using low-cost airlines to target cities for one-day sprees.  Thieves, credit card fraudsters and pickpockets buy cheap tickets to fly in and out in just a few hours.  As a result police are almost powerless to identify those responsible.

An estimated 68,000 Romanians live in Britain, but there have been 28,000 arrests of Romanian people for serious offenses in the past five years.

Mr Wainwright said his agency was facing ‘petty criminals operating across multiple jurisdictions’.

He added Romanian and Bulgarian offenders are responsible for 90 per cent of all card-skimming in Europe.

‘BECOMING MUCH MORE PREVALENT’

‘We have this travelling criminal gang phenomenon that has become much more prevalent in the last three or four years; gangs from Lithuania, gangs from Poland, gangs from Romania that are operating in 20 or more European countries,’ he added.

‘They fly on low-cost airlines, do a few hits in one city and get back in time for tea. It’s very difficult for local police to respond.’
Experts think gangs have divided Europe into two, along a rough line from *Gdansk in Poland to Lisbon in Portugal.

Romanian gangs control the north, including Britain, Bulgarians the south.
Romanian criminals are specialists in pickpocketing and card-skimming, in which devices fixed to cash machines steal card details, they say.
The information, combined with a PIN recorded by a hidden camera, is used to drain a victim’s account.

Often data is used by accomplices in countries that do not require security chips, such as the US, Canada and Asia. This summer, police blamed Roma gipsies who were living rough on London’s Park Lane for a surge in begging, pickpocketing and shoplifting.

In one case a shoplifter was found to be a notorious Romanian criminal wanted for more than 60 offences including kidnap and armed robbery.

Unedited version @ the DM here

The words used in the article, “more prevalent”, are not empty words by any means.  Some French ministers as reported here, are trying to take a stand and are ready they say to restrict and deport.  Of some interest btw, is the fact that one minister has publicly stated that these people are not able to fit in with French culture and society and see no hope in them doing so.  It remains to be seen of course, what measures the left will take to try and block deportations.
There is absolutely no question at all in any country that hosts these people, that the general populations do not favor them and would prefer they go away. They also favor deportation as well as restrictions on their immigration to their countries.  But hey ... those are simply the peasants, the bigots and raaaacists, the little folks; and who listens to them anyway?

* Formally the German port of Danzig stolen from Germany in 1919, retaken in 1939, which the Brits, due to a treaty with Poland, thought it was worth starting another war with the Germans over.

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.
