What has it got to do with the EU? The pickpockets more than likely come from the "banlieues" - the Paris council estates. I remember seeing teenage pickpockets openly working the escalators in the Gare du Nord over 30 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothybabe Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 More than likely Romanians though, they plague Paris with street crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenRivers Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm really looking forward to welcoming more Romanians to the UK next year, they will enrich our culture and make light of our wallets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosyRat Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm at a loss here. I've read the article and nowhere does it suggest that Romanians or any other specific EU nationals are in any way involved. where on earth has this rubbish come from and why?

SqueakyPete Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You're allowed to fill the blanks in..even though there are no blanks. And some media groups leave blanks wide open,in fear of getting blasted themselves for mentioning any kind of group.Further investigation from other media sources suggest Romany gypsy groups,but I can't say for certain.I would say one thing though,Meadowhall is going to get interesting over the next few years.

The "rubbish" came from France Deux, the French version of the BBC. They're a lot less terrified about reporting offenders nationality than the beeb though.
