Can’t see any reference to burning buses is normal in your link…
 
Thread is about immigrating, go start a different thread.

Don't go putting up soap boxes in a crowd and expecting a positive response.
Yet people post pics of the country side and that relates to immigration? Somehow.
 
Yes, Leeds does have a high crime rate but riots like this is not the norm.

And looking at the numbers Leeds on a bad day is still a hell of a lot safer than a lot of cities in SA
 
Does it ? tbf, I have no idea about any of those people
Romani people are the OG gypsies, while the Pikeys(now a slur) are non-Romani travellers.

Sidenote: I find the history of this country and its people very interesting. The more I learn the more ignorant I feel.
 
Not Romanian, Roma Gypsy, which makes more sense why the disorder happened imo.

What did that have to do with all the non-Romas rioting? Don’t think anyone in the UK actually likes the Pikeys. Or was it kicking off because they weren’t moving them along quick enough?

Child care workers were out to take kids away from an abusive home.
 
Checked out Google street view of the part of Epsom we used to live in. Photo was from around a year before we’d moved in, and there were literally dozens of caravans all over the park.
Someone left one of the gates open in the boat yard of our sailing club, and the next morning there was a caravan parked on the common already.
 
We’ve got a small Gypsy settlement on the outskirts of town. Formal settlement of the a Doherty family. On Gipsy Lane, little shrine and all.

You won’t find a single gypsy family living in a street, they tend to live in groups, odds are the core of the arsonist group were all gypsies.
 
Probably better to continue the gypsy conversation in the living in the UK thread.

 

Tory visa rules to stop people earning under £38,700 from bringing foreign partners to Britain have been paused by the new Home Secretary.

Yvette Cooper confirmed there will be "no further changes" to the current £29,000-a-year wage threshold Britons need to bring a family member from abroad until a review of the family visa policy has been completed.
