Three bikes stolen in a week! on marmora road. One was burnt out in the road round the corner! I have been told a blue car with four youths in it, have been seen trying to put a scooter on the back at 2am in the morning on Monday night. I often see different vans driving up and down with the same Eastern european couple in and they don't speak much English as i have confronted them for trying to take something from my front garden. If you have a bike or scooter and live near...make sure its out of sight

Just wondering how you know they're Kosovan?


Did you ask them?

Because when i talked to the man about him taking something out of my garden he did not understand much of what i was saying...so asked where he was from he said nothing and drove off! he looks either Romanian or Kosovan.

If you've seen the van presumably you have taken the registration number down and told the police? If not then why not? It's really not helpful to state a nationality unless you're sure. I find it odd that you'd go for Kosovan unless you know.

"he looks either Romanian or Kosovan"


But not Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, Macedonian, Hungarian or Bulgarian? We need to be exact here.


It's like reading the Famous Five again, where Swarthy-looking types should be hauled off for apparent execution to the tremendous glee of the children.

Well one of the things police ask is to describe them.............are they white, black, or tall, short ect ect ............so whats the problem here with saying what they looked like or their nationality is ..... They were not white or English and if they were i would say so! so what is the problem here?? If you got mugged would you not describe the attacker?? what is he didn't speak English and you know he looks like and sounds like a certain nationality you know! Think a simple post of concern for a crime that has taken place and concern for others taking care has been blown out of proportion and turned in to something its not! Wont bother next time!

"The problem here" is that you didn't describe them.


You made an assumption about their specific country of origin which was apparently based on - well, what? Do tell us. the fact that they were "not white or English"? That leaves quite a lot of other possibilities.....


Good post, Top Banana.


Thecaptain, you have totally missed the point. Nobody is saying that these people have not (possibly) committed a crime. And by labelling people "tree hugging liberals" it is clear that you have the same stereotyping mindset as susierose.


And so it goes on .... and on .....

Sue, the phrase was well chosen as it has so clearly wound you up.....


The point i was making is that it doesnt really matter who/where the person is/comes from, yet you have lingered on it for an age....am sure its the basis that your best friends, sisters, daughters auntie is of eastern european descent, that it's worthy of your gripe.


I rest my case, until your next bite.

People are just pulling susierose up on a rather unhelpful and potentially inaccurate description. A good description would have described what they and the van actually look like (age, height, number of indviduals, etc, type of van, colour of van ect.


The potentially incorrect part is that its become clear she has no idea where these people are actually from.


Why you think taking issue with this makes someone a tree-hugging liberal is beyond me.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
