Little do Little Britons realise that there are lots and lots of Romanians living and working in Britain as part of British society (I am English but live in rural Romania), socially integrated and paying tax on earnings as well-educated professionals (mostly). And have been for years, decades. given your description of them, Paul, you should alert the conservative press to the conservative, modest, hard-working, family-minded nature of the Romanians who want to become assets to the UK. They could be the answer to Middle England's prayers.Arabella McIntyre-Brownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-78537241310259118762013-12-16T12:03:10.134+02:002013-12-16T12:03:10.134+02:00My wife (a Thai nurse doing Master at Bedfordshire...My wife (a Thai nurse doing Master at Bedfordshire Univ) just came to spend Christmas with me.

It idealizes us a bit, saying only the good things, but hey, it's attitude, not some social research. I especially liked that you picked up the thing I enjoy the most in the Eastern cultures - the freedom and candor of saying what you think, the fact that the government doesn't feel the need to "take care of me" to the deepest detail, and let instead the society do it (you will feel this in China, which at street level is freer than US).<br /><br />As for UK, it upsets me that you guys accept all kind of people who are different from you and want to keep being different (Muslims), and you reject Romanians, who only want to be like you. As you emphasized in your post, we make good immigrants because we are hard workers and we integrate fast. Not the Roma of course, they don't integrate (excellent that you pointed out the difference Roma - Romanian! )<br /><br />Very interesting quote on the Indians. I met more than 100 in my life - I mean, although I stay away from generalizations, i would make one in their case: they all shared some characteristics that I did not appreciate. So your leaders are ready to accept in your island hundreds of million of those, that's interesting.<br /><br />I am not at all an adept of conspiracy theories, but what happens now with Romanians in Europe seems very much similar to what happened in the 30's with Jewish. Even calling gypsies "Roma" seems to not be a coincidence. Anyway - everybody seems to hate and despise us, I experienced that in many situations, that is I stay away from Western Europe (in 2008 I was offered a teaching job in Sweden but I said no; I am happier here in China).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-5685039754261382322013-03-05T22:43:59.029+02:002013-03-05T22:43:59.029+02:00"Romanian come from a Near Eastern culture&qu..."Romanian come from a Near Eastern culture" - define Near East please?!

At that time I thought that such a thing cannot happen in Britain as the country is far more civilised than Italy. Well, I was utterly wrong. They are as uncivilised and racist as the Italians. I publicly apologize for thinking Britons were better than Italians. Now I know better..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
