EU hypocrisy against Roma!

Remembrance of the genocide against Roma – Samudaripen/Pharrajimos
Strasbourg, 2 August 2010
It is more than sixty years since the end of WW2 and the Nazi crimes, one of the darkest chapters in Europe's history - encompassing the attempt to exterminate the Jews and Roma in Europe and the systematic massacre of other groups. Time has passed, but the painful memories may not be allowed to fade.
On the night between 2-3 August 1944, several thousand Roma and Sinti were massacred at the Zigeunerlager in Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The date of 2 August has been chosen to commemorate this part of the Holocaust which remains too often ignored. The international community is resolved to taking appropriate measures so that future generations do not forget those several hundred thousands of Roma and Sinti victims.

Scapegoating will not solve 'Roma problem'
France's plan to evict Roma people is the latest example of an aggressive EU stance that will amplify the minority's problems
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
