A spokesman for the Gammon Facebook Alliance said: "It's coz they're all over 'ere robbin' us, innit".
To be fair, that is a significant part of it. Why waste your time stealing from the poorest folk in Europe when you can just rob the Danes, Swiss or Germans?

There are a lot of criminals in Albania but almost exclusively restricted to smuggling or production (most of Europe's marijuana is Albanian). The average citizen very rarely has any problems with crime (fraud, corruption excepted).

The Claudia Webbe stuff just gets more bizarre. This from the Sky News report:

Quote

Some of the phone calls had their number withheld, but some did not as Webbe had dialled "121" before Ms Merritt's number instead of "141", which withholds the caller's number.

Petrol shortages, empty shelves, rocketing fuel bills, supply chain breaking down, Christmas stocks likely to be disrupted and the result of all this...?

What a shambles of a country :lol:

Just to remind you: Scotland has been allocated 57 constituencies for the 2023 Review, two less than at present. England has been allocated 543 (+10), Northern Ireland 18 (no change) and Wales 32 (-8). Detail in the link.

So England would have a net +20 seats to get the UK government they want, cool.

This is actually quite scary a probability.

Lumping together Tayside as a whole is a belter.

Back in the 90s I used to wonder why the Serbs kept voting for Milosevic (non free media aside). 

Now the folks down south keep voting Tory..

Police Scotland has been a disast...oh.

The most capitalist and unequal part of Europe (England) has the  high rate of robberies whilst the old Communist bloc countries score quite low. Almost as if Karl had a point...Or there's nothing worth nicking 

Also what makes the Swedes a bunch of thieving b*****ds? Is Spain full of ex-pat Brits nicking stuff? Do the Walloons and Flemish nick from each other?

I didn’t realise that Claudia Webbes predecessor as MO for Leicester East was Keith Vaz. Out of the “buying drugs for hookers” frying pan into the “threatening women over the phone” fire.

Tories came within 6,000 votes in 2019.  I’m sure there’s been talk of growing support for Conservatives among the Indian community specifically, who make up a large percentage of the population in Leicester East. Going to keep an eye for my by-election gambling streak.

What's Amess best known for? Haven't heard the name in a while, but I'm sure he was in the press a lot a while ago.

Bound to be a big increase in the bill for MP security soon.

Cowdenbeath Tory councillor Darren Watt trying to blame Nicola Sturgeon, Angela Rayner, John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn for the attack on Amess.
 

 


The c**t has no shame.

 

 

 

Those 3 words together seem very strange. What the hell has happened to Cowdenbeath? I'm sure they had the last Communist councillor in the UK?

Does that mean we are still slightly over represented? Scotland is only 8.1% of the UK population from a quick Google search. 5.45m out of 67.22m.
If, as we continue to be told,we belong to a "Union of equals" then no, we're, as are Wales and Northern Ireland, massively underrepresented.
