Ho....Ho....Ho... :o(

[Spicerack]

Not really.
I'd blame the government.

Again, I will ask the question that why in this fantastic EU utopia do Romanians and the like think it is better to live in a death trap shed-like abode in a foreign country rather than a house in their own country ...

If the programme I watched last week is anything to go by it's so they can use them as a base for criminal activity.
A gang of Romanians were committing highly organised smash and grab raids on jewellers around the country and we're eventually caught, but only after an estimated haul of £3 million, most of which has never been recovered.
They were all trained at a 'criminals college' then sent over here to wreak havoc. They already had a long list of convictions and one was a convicted rapist. How do so many appear to enter the UK illegally with impunity?

[Spicerack]

Because they enter legally, with impunity?

[fender62]

why do the authorities not vet incomers for criminal records...

The argument that by naming those accused of rape will bring other forward could cut both ways, if the 'victim' is named then those previously wrongly accused by her/him will be encouraged to come forward too. Either name both or neither but certainly under the current situation, when a man, usually a man, is found Not Guilty then his accuser should be named.

A friend of mine had to virtually "jump through hoops" to get into New Zealand. Health and criminal record screening the full works. Why not here or is the "racist" card flashed too often? I despair sometimes.

[ChillDoubt]

Well, you've only got to look at the Syrian 'children' that were brought here and the subsequent furore when someone suggested they have their teeth checked by a dentist to roughly determine their ages.

I have recently renewed my disabled blue badge, and it would seem from the trouble that I had to go through with questions asked etc, it would seem that it is much easier for for foreigners to get into this country than it is to renew a badge that one has held for a number of years.
