Apparently Slovakia are notoriously nasty to their Roma population. In the past few years a huge community of Slovakian Romanies have moved into the neighbourhood next to mine, causing all kinds of problems. We try not to be too judgemental, as we have been made aware how badly they are treated back in Slovakia and can understand why they would want to come here. They all come from the same village in Slovkia, about 1000 of them, and they come and go and go and come back. Sadly they have quickly gained a reputation for child prostitution, begging with babies and street drunkeness. They also pick fights with the local neds, then tell the police (the local neds are all part of the 'you never grass' criminal mindset). The local neds get jailed, and the Roma get Criminal Injuries Compensation. The local councillors for the area are all Scottish-Pakistani, and they are getting themselves tied up in knots about not being racist while at the same time condemning the latest wave of immigration. It's a rum situation all round.
