| Had a similar incident on the way back from Cadwell in October, going through a village in a short line of cars all doing around 30 when a van came belting past at what must have been 70. Nearly wiped out an oncoming car which had to take serious avoiding action. Must have stopped off for fuel as we caught up with them at Northampton, silver van, Lithuanian plate, couple of lads in it looked off their faces. Not a matter of whether they will kill someone, more a matter of when !!!.
On the emigration front what the government seem to have missed is that it is the very people we need to keep who are emigrating, if you want to emigrate outside the EU you have to be able to offer something to the country you intend settling in. Basically the people who can afford to move out of the country are the ones who've worked to be able to afford it so the good/bad ratio of those left behind deteriorates even more.
It isn't right to label all from a ceretain ethnic group as bad but the reality is that the country has been infiltrated by criminal gangs from across Europe, particularly in people traficking, prostitution and drug dealing and we do precious little about it. Glyn's comments about Bosnia are very telling !!!!! Ignore them at your peril. This was no "third world" country and the attrocities that went on there were horrific.
I guess its us slightly older people who can reflect back on how far things have changed, (with all due respect to the younger people voicing their opinions) my very real concern is how fast they have changed and that there seems no real attempt to stop the downward spiral. |
