The vans were found in South Wales on the way to Pembroke docks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jericho Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My workshop was broken into two weeks ago.Five thousand pounds worth of garage tools,carpentry tools and general building stuff. Seven properties in a row all done over. I know of four other similar robberies locally just last week. Several police officers have commented on the sudden increase in robbery with the sudden drop in the price of scrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madcowz Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Remember everyone, to be politically and legally correct, we must not be using the term Pikey as it is racist * and we certainly wouldn't want to be offending those hard working, pleasant... and dare I say it valuable members of our society. We should instead be using the term "itinerant traveller". I received an email from a local Police after using the word Pikey on my local village web site. After a long and at times heated email exchange, I removed the word. I did of course suggest that rather than hassling me they should be out there catching the thieving Pikey b*****ds doing all the nicking. Of course that went down like a lead balloon. * According to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination: the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism As far as I am concerned, sod the UN convention, they should be shot!

FridgeFreezer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is it still racist if it's accurate? It's a bit like saying "Chav" is offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddler Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 What is the difference between this thread and the post a few days ago by a chap whose yard had been raided and his HGV and trailer stolen? At the time of posting, a moderator locked the other post, stating lack of relevant content, but did not delete as he felt some sympathy towards the poster. It would appear the post has since been deleted. This post also has zero LR content, but does have several abusive comments towards certain parts of our society. It does little to sustain the image of the forum. I would be interested in comments from moderators. Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110WestCape Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Is it still racist if it's accurate? It's a bit like saying "Chav" is offensive. If it's accurate it becomes super megasquirted racist. Everything cannot always be a democracy ........ I say shoot the thieving f*****s irrespective of where they come from. May their finger nails turn into fishing hooks and may they develop a bad case of the itch where it will hurt the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Tiddler did you not read the first post? and it is a warning for locals that thieves are about looking for trailers/land rover parts both of which are common on here. As for Racism etc that is not allowed and posters should consider what they say before typing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderman Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We do have to be PC about the names we call these sorts , I still think "Caravan Using Nomadic Traveller Sorts" sounds much more polite .
