sounds simple. is it as simple as for you? this is crucial. yes/no?

I support myself nd not beg

So yes I find a sex worker job quite an honest one.

But could I find work elsewhere of course but I'm happy running my own business

Nice that don't see sex work as job, tis a far cry form been a public nuscence nd depending on hand outs

But hey some peeps are narrow minded

Taken from that article is this ...



So then, how does one 'get a job' when one is not legally allowed work in the country?

Romanian and Bulgaria can access the free market since last year


For Roma apolgist ye sure don't look up facts

It isn't Xenophobia either. It's realism. Parasitic behaviour.

i say there is a barrier (invisible like glass) psychological on both sides. it sabotages them.
it is real, live, it's 'undoing' will take skill, tolerence from both sides.
everyone's a parasite to some extent.

Is that an old article? The restrictions on Romania and Bulgaria have been lifted for years now.

Nonsense. These people aren't here to work, they are here to work your system. If they don't get a job within three months they should be asked to leave and if they commit a crime they should be sent back to the country of origin. If you want to play softly softly while the vulnerable people of your country are preyed upon by people who in turn are being preyed upon that's cool but don't try and squeal racism when people object, quite forcefully.

Apologists? That's a bit of an assumption on your part Annabel, I'm trying to look at the bigger picture before I start pidgeon-holing and name calling.

This is taken from the NASC 2013 report titled :

'In from the Margins ROMA IN IRELAND
Addressing the Structural Discrimination
of the Roma Community in Ireland'

Section 4.2.1

As illustrated in Chapter Two, this is a community
that is characterised by low levels of education and low
literacy rates, making the majority of those Roma
actively seeking work tending to fall into low-skilled
labour. These are virtually impossible jobs to get in
difficult economic times. Yet even within this sector of
the labour market, Roma experience significant levels
of discrimination from employers. One Roma client
reported hiding his Roma identity in order to get
employment.

The report is from last year.

i think you're great that you earn your living and i have no doubt employer's would value
your aptitude and skills. xxx

i reckon even if a young Roma did get in serving in McDonalds,
when he/she went home to their often poor conditions, their
family might jeer them about it, this kind of thing..."im a lovin' it"

Logically that infers it's only males who disagree with you
