In a Channel 5 programme from 2015, which was repeated a month ago, there was a Slovakian Roma couple who came here(to Rotherham) with TWENTY-TWO children and grandchildren. Only one of them employed, all of them housed, given benefits etc. It was said that there were an estimated 6,000 Slovakian Roma just in Rotherham.

The government is to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds to European rough sleepers who were illegally detained and deported.
Figures obtained by the BBC reveal that in the year to May 2017, 698 homeless EU nationals were targeted and removed from the country.
The Home Office said no further action was being taken against European citizens for rough sleeping.

The Home Office said the EU's Free Movement Directive allowed member states to impose restrictions on people in certain situations, including where there were concerns about security, public health, or fraud.

People seem to be itching for a fight, becoming increasingly angry over the slightest thing. Racism is growing, whilst methods of reducing it are missing the point. Silencing critique of ideas with spurious labels, rather than facing them and admitting problems. Society becoming more polarised is not helping.

The EU was only formed in 1993, and there are countries that are in the EU now, but weren't then and before. Before then, were they at war? NO, they weren't. So nearly 40 years of peace, BEFORE the EU was formed.
