Do you think that it is alright for them to be doing this, trespassing on other people's property & going through their bins & taking things, without their permission?

No we don't but I wanted to alert people living in the area.

Nothing wrong with that. You don't have to read it if you are not interested.

sp post the update in the existing thread


by having 3 or 4 threads about the same thing, those uninterested have little choice but to read some of it


As for the whol should they./ shouldnt they debate (and the corollary should peole mind or not mind) it largely depends


If they are looking for scraps then ultimately good luck to them and be thankful that isn't your life. if you don't want people rummaging around in your bins/property then fair enough,do what yuo have to but...


But nor is it inconceivable that they are hunting for paperwork for ID fraud - it's happend to me and many others i know. So equally there may be ground for some caution

We should all assume that our bank account and/or credit card details are in the hands of criminals - because they most certainly are. However, the information is useless unless the criminals can use them. To do this they make huge efforts to obtain other information which would allow them to impersonate - from Facebook and bins.


It's more than possible these people are innocently 'earning a wage' for the wrong reasons.


Don't throw away papers that contain information that identifies you - unless it's shredded.

I've never seen a Romanian of Bulgarian that looks Asian, but there you go.



Anyway, my take on the whole thing is



1. If you're worried about ID Theft, don't be an idiot and throw out info which is not torn up.


2. I think they're probably after scrap and good luck to them. Hope I'm never that desperate.


3. If your issue is simply that you don't want these "gypos" in your front garden, then I hope they visit you often.


4. Why doesn't someone just approach them with a smile and ask what they're up to?

So not wanting strangers rifling through your rubbish in your front garden makes you a bad person; inhospitable or uncharitable somehow?


Why stop at just hunters of scrap/clothes/ID theft material/whatever - surely you're a terrible person if you don't allow homeless people to sleep in your front garden? Or to come to Sunday lunch? Or get into bed?


Nobody should be allowed their sanctuary, or privacy, or a respite from the world's ills - but should be accountable for them at all times...?

cle I agree with you and so do many others, it's obvious that it's unacceptable behaviour and perhaps those accusing you of being uncharitable don't respect other peoples property either. I certainly wouldn't accept stranger rifling through my bins on my proerty and have reportd it to the police. Regarding asking them what they are doing they have made it clear that they dont speak english.

It was cle's own words, not anyone else's. Cle chose to put a load of words in my mouth that I never said, and I think is rather enjoying playing a part here.

Thing is Otta - cle used the words to describe the sentiment that is being banded around i.e. somehow coz someone doesn't want others going through their bins on their property they are somehow uncaring (uncharitable).


Semantics or he said/she said etc. doesn't change that and I hope cle is enjoying defending the position - it's eminently defendable and the criticisms come across as tosh to be honest. More sanctimonious holier than though leftish drivel ? there is another debate to be had about protecting these immigrants? from unscrupulous gangs who exploit them by getting them to do this type of scavenging!

Someone (the police?) should get to the bottom of what's going on here-these women are obviously desperate whether searching for sensitive info (if they really don't speak English are they just taking all documents) or scrap-chances are they aren't getting the help they are entitled to. As Sophron says there may well be someone else exploiting these unfortunate women. I don't like the idea of strangers rummaging through my bins, and it is theft to remove things from people's bins but I think it's really sad that they have to whatever the reason (have you noticed how badly the bins smell in this heat)? Maybe there is a charity that can help these guys out if they are made aware of what's going on-anyone know of a relevant one?

Thanks Sophron - uncharitable was quite clearly the insinuation Otta, for those who didn't want this happening in their front gardens. I didn't use quotation marks so the putting words in your mouth accusation is fatuous. It's exactly what you and another were getting at.

I never mentioned politics, or lefties/right wing anyway. Another poster.

Much how I never mentioned race or ethnicity in either thread at any point. Which you haven't acknowledged my correction on.


I suggest you brush up on your comprehension skills of who is posting what, before pinning it all to me.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
