    Thousands of Romanians and Bulgarians spotted at the borders

    Trouble with the former is that ends up with a small % of the population driving the economy and producing the benefits that will be 'gobbled' up by those who sit idly by with their hand out......the latter however encourages the majority to get out there and contribute.....the key challenge is...

    Thousands of Romanians and Bulgarians spotted at the borders

    I spend a lot of time in Bielefeld, those locals, even in the relative 'leafyness' of their local environs, express huge concerns about the influx and its effect on their culture. Same applies to people I know on Detmold too. I got the impression that their voting trends were based on the...

    Thousands of Romanians and Bulgarians spotted at the borders

    They have indeed, close on 4 million already across those 19 countries, most in Spain and Italy because of the language similarities..... however, as we all know, Spain in particular has catestrophic unemployment, there will be a steady flow of those disenchanted in those countries which of...

    Decimated or not, by the current govt or previous ones, there is only so much the system can take....if you suddenly think that health, education and welfare systems in this country have only been under pressure since the 2008 economic crash forced budgets to be trimmed, then I suggest you think...

    Big Match Revisited 1979 - Albion, Palace

    Chelsea wasn't really person to person trouble on a large scale...the club gave them some of the north stand ( at least that's what i recall)and they then got on the pitch and trashed the posts etc.....some scuffles but in truth there were simply too many of them for us.

    Big Match Revisited 1979 - Albion, Palace
