    Anger over Telford 'gipsies and pickpockets' comment by train guard

    Astonished train travellers were shocked by an announcement made as a train pulled into Telford – warning people to beware of pickpockets and gipsies.

    The guard should be promoted - as a service to the public he gave a common sense crime prevention message

    More p.c. rubbish.

    I just wish they'd gag those announcers totally.

    Damned annoying !

    Had a very similar case. Driver stood down from duty for warning customers about EE pick pocket gangs operating on the trains. Apparently an EE customer complained.
    It took a while but common sense prevailed in the end.

    I've a pleasant memory of waiting for a Metro train in Prague and seeing the Police use their boots and batons on a gang of Roma scum making a nuisance of themselves on the platform.

    That's the only language they understand
