Not a surprise. 'Eastern Europeans' and 'crime' usually pops up in the same sentence.

Reading that article I noted how the police have dumbed down their titles over the years, what used to be called "crime prevention officers" are now "harm reduction advisors".
What next "we will try and help if we can be bothered to turn up officers".

Dodgy £20 notes at car-boots? Long way to go to match the violence of the Johnsons or Slaters.
Whilst obviously any criminals are unwelcome - and criminals with foreign passports should be deported - I object to your generalisation in the OP as you cannot justify saying what you have said.
I imagine if you look at the crime rates in Cheltenham I suspect you will find that smaller percentage of central and east european immigrants commit crime than those whose families have lived on the same estate for generations - again, pointing at a few bad apples and not generalising against swathes of our town.

No blinkers. Look up the words 'minority' and 'majority' in the dictionary as it seems you have them the wrong way round.Malabus wrote:Take the blinkers off....RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Dodgy £20 notes at car-boots? Long way to go to match the violence of the Johnsons or Slaters.
