LeMaquis Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Reminds me of that great film Pickpocket by Bresson in the good old days of 1959 when East Europe still had communism and people knew their place. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pickpocket-DVD-Martin-Salle/dp/B0007OC700/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1365751367&sr=1-1&keywords=pickpocket+robert+bresson Also reminds me of this article about the number of Britons arrested abroad, 6,015 in 2011-12, 70% of which were for drugs. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/interactive/2012/jun/28/britons-arrested-abroad-2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Really doesn't. But any excuse to try and make yourself look clever. Why wouldn't a thread about pickpockets in Paris not remind me of a film about pickpockets in Paris? But any excuse to make yourself look ill-informed.

Jonny5 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Because you are trying to imply that the current spate have similarities with Bresson's film. And aside from being set in Paris they don't. Alienation is hardly the same as organised gangs. If you'd have said Oliver Twist then maybe but really you just name-dropped it to try and make yourself look all sophisticated and clever.

SqueakyPete Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Amazing that pickpockets in Paris can steal sheep I was replying about the theft of fish from eastern Europeans.(like you didn't know already) ---------- Post added 13-04-2013 at 10:48 ---------- Check this escalation of right-wingness: The Guardian: Louvre closed on account of pickpockets The Sun: Fears for UK grow as Romanian gangs lead to closure of Louvre Daily Mail: Louvre forced to close as workers walk off job in protest at Romanian gypsy children pickpocketing tourists at gallery Why do people need to bring out the right wing card?Romanian gypsies are an increasing problem,so why wouldn't concerns about them increase?Especially since they will be literally walking through our borders next year. we have more than enough criminals in Britain as it is,without adding more.
