The Romanian gypsies in Ireland have as much right to be supported by the Irish taxpayers as have the Irish tinkers in England to be supported by the English taxpayers. No more, no less, since they are all members of the European Union for better or worse.

Well, according to the international treaty on children's rights, the kids have to go to school, have to be insured and have to be fed and housed properly. If the parents can't offer this to the children, then the State the kids are residing in has the duty to do this.

So the children should be taken into care.

As for the parents...give them jobs, so they can buy housing.
And if there are no jobs available...then there's obviously something wrong with capitalism.

No, I was referring to our government. We stick out our hand and beg and plead, and then once we get going we do everything we can not to show the same generosity that was shown us by our European neighbours.
England accepts droves of our travelling community when we were in the economic duldrums, but now that we are in the same position as Britain was then, we don't allow them to work.
Of course the rules are clear, and to me at least they're also clearly flawed.
That these people are not even able to try to get a job is a disgrace in my view.
In answer to your original question, when people are found to exist in such a situation, the situation needs to be amended by either allowing them to legally work, or to legally claim social security.
My original answer to all of this several posts back is that it is the 'let them legally work' option that I'd choose.

Since very few, if any, Romanian gypsies have the potential to earn £30k p.a. this is clearly a racist policy.
How would you react if the UK government were to deport all the Irish tinkers who were unable to find jobs paying that sort of salary?

You are just failing to face the fact that your government is discriminating against a particular group of persons whose counterparts, the Irish tinkers, are tolerated and allowed to reside in England.
Such a policy would be condemned as 'racist' if the 'boot were on the other foot'.

I am sorry to say that you appear to be defending a racist attitude on the part of your government which I cannot possibly condone, and must therefore bring the present exchange of views to a conclusion.
