Romania campaign mocks UK anxiety about immigration
88 replies, posted
[quote][B]A Romanian media campaign called "Why don't you come over?" is poking fun at British anxiety about a possible influx of Romanian job-seekers next year.[/B]
The news website Gandul boasts in English: "Half of our women look like Kate. The other half, like her sister."
The pro-Romania campaign is a response to British media reports that the UK government is considering negative ads about Britain to put off migrants.
Gandul also boasts that "our draft beer is less expensive than your bottled water".
The campaign teases the British with the words: [b]"We may not like Britain, but you'll love Romania".[/B]
"What is more, we believe that a wave of hostile statements since the beginning of the year aims to stigmatise these citizens as second-class Europeans who pose a threat to the social systems, just because they want to exercise their basic rights to free movement and work."[/quote]

Your Orphanages are also pretty worse than anything we have in this country.

Easy to have an attitude like that when nobody wants to go to fucking Romania and instead are doing their best to get the fuck out of Romania.
If Romania is so great then why are so many people leaving it?

Why did we let half of those eastern countries in the UE? Their economy is crap and I doubt opening our borders to them was a good idea to begin with.
I know a guy who moved from Ireland to Romania, he lives in Deva.

Immigrants come in, they make money on their minimum wage, they come back to their home country and spent it like rich men.
Its also a nice way for countries to get rid of people you don't particularly like, most of the Turkish immigrants in Germany are actually Kurds for example, a group Turks don't like much.

Because first world governments give free money out.
Very funny, but I've taken shits more respectable than Romania

Why? Despite what the dailymail told you our economy benefited directly every fiscal year that we allowed East European workers.
There literally isn't a solid argument against immigration.
Now this is a Romania hate thread.

Nobody hates Romania. They just hate Romanians.
Who wouldn't move to a country where the Government pays you to sit around and do nothing

What a load of bollocks.
We should be less worried about migrant workers and be more worried about the amount of gullible idiots we have in this country.

They do all the dirty jobs natives of country A won't take, do it at minimum wage level to the benefit of country A, and sent the money back as remittance which boost the economy of country B. Which is no wonder when Poland has a fast growing economy.

(shhh don't tell anyone but that's dumb too)
For a country that got screwed over by World War 2 and got thrown to the communists like a spare scrap of meat, I think my country has done a good job for being proud of itself. You guys can mock and reference shit you read or heard about in the news years ago, or you can actually go to Romania and enjoy our Kate Middletons.
Protip: Moonshine goes a long way.
I know a guy who moved from Romania to the U.S. and now he's a rich mufuka.
He let me drive the forklift once.

I went to Romania once and got robbed by gypsies.
They stole my pants, my wallet, and almost got my passport.
[editline]2nd February 2013[/editline]
Which sucks cause I liked those pants.
Its amazing whenever Romania is brought up on Facepunch. Turn the xenophobia dial to the max!
Seriously though, its disgusting how people start to act whenever Romanians and others from the region are mentioned.
[QUOTE=The Rifleman;39449015]I love my country[/QUOTE]
So stay in it.
[QUOTE]"but you'll love Romania".[/QUOTE]
Right... if Romania is so great why every time you walk down a street in Britain is it lined with the fuckers begging. Fuck off.

Yeah these threads always make me roll my eyes when people say Europeans are so much more enlightened then us North Americans.
I have a funny tingling feeling in the back of my head telling me that the average Facepuncher doesn't know the difference between Romanians and Romani

The most liberal compared to Free Republic, perhaps.

I don't understand the hate when it comes to Muslims.
On the other hand, I have NEVER heard anything positive about modern day gypsies, from anyone.

How often are you going to have people coming online to talk about how nice the gypsy they met at the store today was?
No, you're going to get the bad stories. Hell, you're going to get stories about thefts and stuff attributed to them but not actually having anything to do with them mixed in there too.
I never hear people explicitly tell me about the nice black guy they know, but I don't need those stories to know that most black people aren't bad people. Romani people are just so far removed from our daily lives that the ignorance is filled in with what we hear on the internet
