BBC:
Under new laws approved by the Senate, illegal immigrants convicted of crimes will now face jail sentences a third longer than those for Italians.
…
The Senate was addressed by the anti-immigrant Northern League party’s Sandro Mazzatorta, who linked immigration to criminality.
“Foreigners committed 60% of the attempted homicides, 60% of the robberies (and) 82% of the muggings,” he said, referring to last year’s figures from the city of Brescia.
Make your penalties harsher for all citizens, not just immigrants, and then watch crime fall among Italians too.
Or is it a case of “foreigners coming over, taking opportunities for robberies away from Italian criminals. It shouldn’t be allowed!”?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
You know when you see a car crash, or something else really fucking horrible, and you really don’t want to look but somehow you can’t stop looking? Well that’s what the comments are like on this story in The Mail about a Polish tourist that died, apparently, from taking a leak on a railway line.
Perhaps having some manners would have saved this man – behaving like a savage and weeing in the street was his downfall. Now if only we could find a way to electrocute all those who insist on urinating in the street London would be a far nicer place!

The price of stupidity is death! This is a prime candidate for the Darwin Awards.

Yes Anne, men who pee all over the street, pavement, parks etc are all too common, and not only in London but all over the country! It is nothing to do with the lack of toilets, women manage so men can also manage if they choose, but they come out of pubs (with several toilets) and cross the road on the way to a nightclub (with several toilets) and pee all over the pavement or park on their way.
It is disgusting and unhygienic. They retort that it is “just nature” when challenged but if there was any truth to that, there would also be women acting likewise!!!
It is only men who behave in such a stone age manner, and authorities including the police turn a blind eye, as they are all controlled by men. People take more notice of dogs’ toilet behaviour in public than men’s.
In the 21st century it is high time something serious was done about this disgusting practice by men, perhaps electrocution would bring them up to the standard of women!

Anne does at first come across harsh, but I have to say that I once saw a young man sleeping in a sleeping bag on a bench at my local station who got up out of bed (sleeping bag) ranting and raving the F word as it was wet & windy, before proceeding to stagger to the edge of the train line in bare feet and urinate into the track.
This was joyful to witness after just having breakfast and preparing for the rigours of a London commute.
Such pond life needs to eliminated for the sake of a strong future gene pool and Im right there with Anne in that case!

Because all foreigners are animals that should learn some manners and homeless people should be disposed of and not helped out of their situation.
Cunts.
