[Mapperleypie]

You mean you don’t have them in Mapperley?

Not that I know of.

Spotted this post a minute ago, just about sums it up

The patriotic Brexiters...


BREXITERS, latest update:
Rees-Mogg: Opens funds in Ireland
Redwood: “Don’t invest in UK because of Brexit"
Farage: Gets German passports for kids
Lawson: Applies for French residency
UK’s richest man: moves money to Monaco
Dyson: chooses Singapore for his factory.

I can't decide if that's better summed up by 'do as I say, not as I do' or 'I'm all right Jack'.

I know this may sound a bit radical and would by no means solve the problem fully but what about offering non dangerous low category prisoners the chance to do the so called menial jobs? Such as fruit and vegetable picking.
I'm sure that plenty would volunteer if it meant getting out of their cell into the country side and also being paid as well.
Our prisons are teaming at present, a guy I used to work with was inside and was allowed to go to pick courgettes and looked forward to the days outside.

So what you're proposing is to replace one bunch of Romanians with another.

Which is another reason we should stop them at the border and send those here already home.

At the end of 2017, there were just over 4,000 EU nationals in UK jails (5% of the total jail population)...of these, the highest 4 nationalities were Poles 821, Irish 725, Romanians 663 and Lithuanians 412.....total cost to the UK taxpayer was approx £140 million

He is saying that there are currently 663 Romanians in UK jails that cost us money to clothe and feed

Us haha.

They don’t cost as much as they would have done before the Tories cut 7,000 prison officers, so that’s one consolation.

663 seems remarkably low for the number of Romanians over here, as does 800 odd for the number of Poles. Have you got the numbers that are resident for those nationalities, and also how much they have contributed to the economy? Cos you know, without context, just posting the numbers by nationality is pretty pointless, and I would never want to describe your posts like that.
