Eastern European gangs instilling fear in Sliema! by ricky
Hi all, please be aware that Eastern European gang crime is on a massive increase at the moment! Sadly the police are not in a situation to respond appropriatly. It has been weeks since I have seen a policeman on beat in Sliema and local wardens ...
Do you really want me to copy and paste everything you said? In several posts you've generalised countries, cultures and races. You still want me to believe that you are not racist? Secondly, I don't care what newspapers you are reading, ... Read More

Thanks Ricky for letting everyone know. And I am glad they found out who is responsible for that crime. I hope they will catch them soon. It would be great if that island would get almost crime free again! Read More

Just to complete my post above. I agree on the point you are making about taxpayers. But that applies to everyone including Scots and Brits and of course Eastern Europeans or anybody else. But to brand them criminals and culprits is racist! Read More

Jeaniecam, to be honest I find your comments quite insulting and to a certain extent racist. First off all, I've heard the statement about knowing somebody who is Romanian, Polish etc. and he/she is a hard working person etc. However, one can ... Read More

Residency cards not married
