So, in a nutshell your story is that two people who may or may not have been eastern European walked past you in Leeds market.
i can see why you panicked and voted UKIP.

Duffelcoat with big pockets eh? No doubt filled with fruit you had discretely "picked" whilst walking past the stalls? Poor romas thought "we need our vitamins too" - they couldn't afford a coat with big pockets tho and wanted to steal your stolen fruit? #prayforvitaminstarvedimmigrants

Will answer the first for you if you want, 'According to British Transport Police 52% of convictions for pickpocketing on the London Underground were Roma's' if you take that as a percentage per population in London you get a pretty fair picture of the type of people we are attracting.
Far be it from me to point anything out, but are you guilty of mixing up the Roma population, with the Romanian population?
As far as I can see, there does seem to be a difference.
And as itinerant migrants, or a nomadic population, the Roma have never been subject to border or immigration controls - as far as I understand, that is.

its true twiggs they were trying to lift from me up butchers market.
And to add balance there were not roma (gypsies) as romania had not got access to the EU at the time. But they were a bunch of em at bottom of row, and thats what they were trying, my duffel coats pockets at sides are a pick pockets easy target. It was quite busy, and i was phone gazing as I walked up, makes sense if you pick pocket for your target to be distracted, no?
WE''RE LEEDS UNITED, WE''LL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

Once again. Roma does NOT equal Romanian.
Two completely separate peoples.

Two of the people I despise most in the world on the same panel, who to dislike most?
In the end my loathing of Piers Morgan just won out over my contempt for Joey Barton. That loud-mouthed UKIP woman who talked across everyone was a very creditable third, and if she gets many more appearances could force her way into the highest echelon.

As much as Morgan was quite right about some points, especially the disgusting decision to NOT publish the Chilcot papers in full, I did find the Irony monumental when he was spouting his usual rhetoric about lies.

Quite so. The man's hypocrisy is legendary
