Re: France expels its gypsies

i think it is a mix of both, surely even they must understand why France does not want them ? that woman (cant remember her name, the one from Luxembourg i think) would she welcome such people to live in her back garden ? i think not

I'm sure they've come to expect hostility wherever they go - for them it's a fact of life.

There is a difference between evicting trespassers because they have broken the law, and deporting an ethnic minority because some of them are "troublemakers".

I really can't see a large fine being paid even if the EC get's round to imposing one.

so like i said, they need to change opinions of themselves amongst others or stop being suprised when they are forcibly moved on

of course thats true, then why don't they try to integrate with society rather than take their own were ever they "set up camp" ultimately changing the way people perceive them?

Well, I'd love to change the way people perceive the British who live in Spain, or those who go on holiday to Kos, or those who attend football matches, but there is only so much I can do.

What makes you think the Roma are any different?

Dunno. Are Roma into football? And if so: what is their 'home team'?

So if someone pays for a football match they have a right to behave like a hooligan?

Laws should be there for what you have or haven't done, not for what family you're born into.

You are confusing me.

Can you tell me, in your opinion, what the Roma have to do to stay in France?
