The Bulgarians
Bit of a scandle has rocked the Dutch government in the last few days.
Seems that a couple of years ago a bunch of Bulgarians started a scam with claiming subsidies and handouts
using false addresses and got away with it. The scandle is that it seems that the minister concerned knew
about it but did nothing.
For many people over here , that's not the main worry. Very shortly , European borders will be thrown open
to a race of people to whom crime comes as second nature.
I ask myself what right some beurocrat from Brussels has to decide that these people be allowed into another's
country.

The Bulgarians.
John,we have documentaries on the TV here regarding crime,pickpockets,credit card fraud and many other scams and it always seems to be Bulgarians,Romanians and other Eastern Europeans that are involved.The increase in the crime rate is definitely down to the influx of Eastern European gangsters who have no fear of the law in this stupid country of ours.
Regards.

Brussels has forgotten who saved them from a Dictatorship in 1939 to 1945. and the sacrifice our once great Nation paid to save them.
Now the bersterds we saved are now our Dictators.
Millions of lives were lost and ruined keeping out europeans, now our politicos just let them run all over us.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED.!
I AM ANGRY

That is one of the problems with the EU, virtualy no borders any more, and more crims than you can poke a stick at.
We had the Romanian gangs over here a couple of years ago but most were caught and are now guests in the local prisons.

Do what France ( and I wish the Netherlands) does , pay the fine and deport all undesirables and hope their
families will follow.

This gets me mad to, but as I have said before.
The quality of a nations leaders reflects the collective intellect of the nation, all I can add to that, is get angry and do some thing about it.
