I knew what exactly what you meant. My comment was to @mad_manx. I was a bit worried they were going to say that they all looked the same to them. My first joke of the week, Thanks for ruining it. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in the West of Scotland. Going through Glasgow is a minefield of avoiding Romanian beggars! They then all get picked up and go back to Govanhill.

Yibble Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Roma begging gangs are endemic in the UK and across Europe. Thier operations are typically dependant on unpleasant modern slavery practices. It is positively wicked to give them any money as that is what drives their whole business. Hopefully the police have made arrests and will be able to secure convictions, in order to show that the IoM will not tolerate such slavery.
