That's true in the context of the interview. But in a statement afterwards he tried to clarify and made it even worse "any normal and fair minded person would have a perfect right to be concerned if a group of Romanian people suddenly moved in next door"

Romanians have a slightly higher crime conviction rate than other European races in the UK but the vast majority of them are here working fairly and paying taxes. Such a general and sweeping statement can only be offensive to the vast majority of innocent Romanians. If put in a more intelligent context b "there is evidence that there are organised gangs consisting of Romanian immigrants working in UK towns, then that is a fair statement when accompanied by criminal statistics. And that is fair. But such casual statements sweeping in a whole race, stoking fear and suspicion towards them is at the very least bigoted, to be kind to him.
