observer Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Seems the UK came bottom of the UNICEF league of nations, in terms of child wellbeing in 2007. The good news is, we've now climbed halfway up the table, ahead of the USA and Rumania, but still behind Holland and the Scandinavian Countries - does this tell us something about the nature of their Governments?

Davy51 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Maybe that is due to the All American Burger with extra helpings of saturated fat & the general poverty in Romania . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Have we climbed up or have the others slipped back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Tessla Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 The good news is, we've now climbed halfway up the table, ahead of the USA and Rumania, Obs, it must be all those immigrants and their positive attitude to children.

Nick Tessla Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well, it adds an extra inducement to Rumanians to bring their kids with them next year ! So you think children should be neglected and/or mistreated to put people off immigrating here - seems a bit extreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Kije Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 If I googled it Baz, I am sure I could find a picture of a UK citizen begging, The picture you paint of Rumanians is very distorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 If I googled it Baz, I am sure I could find a picture of a UK citizen begging, The picture you paint of Rumanians is very distorted I disagree.... read the stories and show me a link to a story about a Romanian immigrant doing something good or honest.... Even the Romanian Police get involved to take their own thieves back home Kije..... you really do need to stop trying to find good in these people... they are thieves, beggars, vagabonds and pickpockets... that is what they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Not sure about Rumanians; but most if not all of the Romanians that come over here seem to be.... yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 If I googled it Baz, I am sure I could find a picture of a UK citizen begging, The picture you paint of Rumanians is very distorted but could you find 125,000 pictures of UK citizens begging?... and begging with their children too? My picture isn't distorted; my picture is a lifelike photograph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Think you'll find (and I'll allow you to google it), that a high percentage of London street crime (begging etc) is committed by Romanian Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Not quite, I got from a Gov Minister on a TV interview, who referred to the MET crime figures for London - she could have been totally wrong of course, or maybe she'd read the Express!
