The New Scapegoats

One time it was Roma from Eastern Europe

Now it is the Albanians

I wonder how many Kosovans are being described as Albanian

I live in a retirement town where most residents are elderly, and riddled with prejudices.
They don’t know the difference between Roma and Romanian. In fact the young Romanians I have met are likewise bigoted against Roma.

A black girl was abusing Asians on a bus, telling them to “go back home.”
And another black man pointing at homes and saying “Bloody immigrants.”

“In fact the young Romanians I have met are likewise bigoted against Roma.”

Our blog, Socialism Or Your Money Back, has drawn attention to Roma prejudice and if you use the search facility very many posts come up.

The easiest way to remove the danger to lives from the channel boat crossings is simply for the government to lift the rule on ferry and airline operators that all passengers must have the appropriate visas (the operators presently face hefty fines). It is these travel companies that act as the first line of immigration control, not Border Force.

Let all applications for political asylum be lodged at the port or airport of arrival and then allow the normal process be followed.
