One of the night shift told me this morning that the social came for a child and the 'community' responded in the only way they knew how. We don't get this sort of shit in my end of Leeds, thankfully.

The politics of the subcontinent are currently playing out on the streets of Leeds. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Is Farage speaking unspeakable truths again?

A load of Roma started it when the social came for some of their kids. In an interview one of them claimed that there was a lack of respect coming from tptb, or words to that effect. It's another good example of the cultural richness brought to us by immigration. They don't want the laws of this country treading on their toes, it's just so very disrespectful.

As one of the commenters said it is about Roma who are technically from the sub-continent. A bit of a stretch by Farage but goes to show that the politics of the mob is not just restricted to France.

I once applied for a job in Huddersfield and the place was like another country - and not one you would go on holiday to.
