tinfoilhat Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The pannimg overhead shots reminded me of the shanty villages in Gambia ,do we really want this happening over here ? or does the country revert to the bad old days of poverty.I went as a guest to a meeting today in a area were Eastern Europeans are taking over it seems they just use the streets as a dumping ground daily,let dogs foul the pavements and generally just cause mayem,the CPO's there stated their hands were tied they go to the door ..sorry no speak English or you racist..I wonder where they learned that excuse from ? Some of them, 12000 in 2011, turned up to ukba and said I'm here illegally send me back. But with no passports and an Indian high commission dragging it's feet, it's taking a long time. Too long for all concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 but where is the corruption ou are claiming? You replied to post 9 so you must have read it. If there is corruption it's the landlords corrupting those charged with enforcing planning laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I don't think blind eyes are being turned, but alot of these shacks look just like garden sheds, and at the back of terrace housing it just isn't easy to see I reckon. These people want to go back home and can't. It's very sad. exactly many of these people have also spent what money they may have accumulated in their country of origin on the promise that the streets of London are paved with gold ...

Halibut must have gone to bed to sleep the sleep of the just. how does india compare to here though? yes there is a baksheesh culture over there, but there really isn't, to the same extent over here.
