BRITAIN’S open border system was last night blamed for encouraging a Romanian gypsy gang to bring in almost 200 children to beg and steal up to £20million a year on our streets.
The modern-day Fagins face charges of child trafficking, money laundering, membership of an organised crime group and possession of illegal firearms. The 26 crime barons were arrested in April when Romanian police aided by Scotland Yard officers raided 17 fortified “gypsy palaces” in the poverty-stricken town of Tanderai. They are believed to have trafficked at least 181 children aged between seven and 15 to Britain over the past three years, exposing how powerless border guards are to limit migrants. Romanian police launched an investigation into the gang after Scotland Yard informed them about a crime wave that started almost as soon as Romania joined the European Union in 2007. Critics of EU expansion warned that the latest case could be the tip of the iceberg, with unlimited immigration likely to trigger further cases.
Euro MP Nigel Farage, one of the most outspoken critics, said: “Yet again we see suffering that will only be properly addressed if we are in control of our borders. “How many children need to be abused before we see the folly of not addressing the problem of unlimited EU immigration?”
The menace of child gangs is so prevalent in London and other big cities that many coffee shops and fast-food restaurants have put up warning signs to alert customers. Police have also issued posters advising the public to be alert to gangs of children distracting victims while others commit crimes. In the latest drive against the gangs, codenamed Operation Golf, police uncovered enormous bundles of cash and an armoury of weapons including machine guns, hunting rifles, knives, pistols and gas bombs.
Officers also recovered hundreds of fake British passports used to help them transport vulnerable children from Romania to Britain. As the men were charged in the Romanian town of Harghita yesterday, the prosecutor revealed that they had despatched at least 181 children to Britain over the past three years. Court papers showed the gypsies preferred to use children with physical handicaps, believing they made more effective beggars. Their impoverished parents had either been coerced into giving up their children or persuaded to part with them with a promise of getting a cut of their earnings. British police involved in Operation Golf estimate that the desperate children can make as much as £100,000 a year for their criminal masters by begging and stealing on British streets.
It goes to prove how flawed the open border policy is and how immigration/illegal immigration and people coming over here in general are the biggest social ill of this country - welfare, crime and tension all stems from all of these issues and yet our politicians just allow it to carry on. The Eastern European issue was bad enough but god help us when and if Turkey (population of 80 million) joins the European Union.
This country (or the way it is run) is just so wrong in almost every aspect, related to this issue you hear time and time again of gypsies setting up camp on land and the police just stand there because it may infringe on their human rights. We need a crackdown just like Italy did not so long ago, to hell what the EU says and thinks - just throw the entire lot of them out.
Thoughts?
