Sarko imitates Germany, throws Roma out of France

I agree Skypeme.

For anyone interested, they have started talking about this on a British site called Liberal Conspiracy. The thread is titled ''Why aren’t we talking about Europe’s Roma shame?''

Id urge readers to get a look at the excellent " army of crime" DVD ( possibly the best film ive ever seen) , a very true to life account of the most successful partisan units in the paris area - the vast majority of whom were french citizens of foreign extraction .

A good film, but not even the best french movie of the last 5 years, nevermind best movie of all time.

I'd throw my hat in the ring for mesrine, absolutely brilliant.

To be honest, I find these constant holocaust/nazi comparisons absolutely disgusting and think they show no respect whatsoever towards the millions of victims.

Do people keep banging on like this because they fancy themselves to be brave anti-fascists at risk of torture or death from the right ?

Just came across this

Liviu Tipurita's remarkable film for the This World series,Gypsy Child Thieves

"I got 25 million lei for my daughter in 2004," said one of Tipurita's interviewees, commenting on a wedding celebration he'd captured on film while visiting a Romany camp in Madrid. "This is our gypsy custom," he continued. "If she's a virgin, if she's untouched... she's valuable." And if she's a good thief she'll fetch even more. The 13-year-old virgin whose deflowering was being celebrated was expected to earn back the 7,000 euros she cost in just a few weeks. Should such a thing count as culture or crime? And if you decide, as I would, that it's the latter, exactly when does the mitigation of poverty run out? In his long-lens shots of Gypsy children harrying and plucking at their victims, Tipurita had captured two things simultaneously: what people can be reduced to if they have no other means of staying alive and a Dickensian form of abuse, in which children were being robbed of their childhood.

Tipurita finished his film with another sequence which made for uncomfortable watching , because it seemed to offer yet more fuel for the bigots. He interviewed a proudly larcenous clan leader in the Romanian town of Craiova who then took him on tour, to show him the results of repatriated filchings: wildly extravagant villas built on rutted, unsurfaced streets. Fortunes founded on theft, his guide explained, were now being sustained by loan sharking,

It depends if their ethnicity is a factor in the decision. If it is then its a form of ethnic cleansing.

No, it isn't. Ethnic cleansing applies to indigenous populations, not to a band of rapacious parasites that just happen to have arrived last week.
